Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN
Linux 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Misc. update:
New feature: support fortran DLL on windows.
small bug fix.
Description:
1. Need to add macro for some functions in order to make fortran DLL work.
2. One routine(verify) missed the special macro DEC FORTRAN needs. Added.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
windows XP with MC VC6.0+Dec 6.6c.
Linux 2.4
and h5committest not finished yet.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Make Intel (and other) C and F90 compilers happy
Description:
There were several warnings about missing function prototypes and
wrongly defined string in the test program.
Solution:
Fix the code to include proper header files and function prototypes.
Fix the string.
Platforms tested:
Platinum (IA32) and arabica (Solaris 2.7)
Purpose:
Bug fix, code improvement
Description:
Fortran tests didn't cleanup created files. Also HDF5_PREFIX and
HDF5_PARAPREFIX were not used to specify location of the files.
There was a redundant file in the testpar directory that contained
an error reporting function used by both serial and parallel tests.
Solution:
Created library h5test_fortran.a that contains functions used by the
serial and parallel tests. It includes Fortran and C functions that
may be called from Fortran programs to report errors, to modify
file names and to cleanup files after run. Modified test code to
use new functions.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2 (eirene) serial
IRIX64 (modi4) parallel with HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to $SCR
Solris 2.7 with mpich 1.2.4 with HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to /tmp/epourmal
