Update
Description:
Updated the h5vers script to automatically update the configure.in
files so that they reflect the correct version in the AC_INIT line.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
For some unknown to myself reason I used 32-bit integer for INTEGER(HSIZE_T)
on Solaris platforms when 64-bit integers are available for both C and Fortran.
Solution:
Use long long type to describe h(s)size_t_f types
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 ans 2.6
Purpose:
Bug fix

Solaris 2.7 ans 2.6
Code cleanup
Description:
Previously, the I/O pipeline (pline), external file list (efl) and fill-
value (fill) structs were passed down the raw data function call chain,
even into and/or through functions which didn't use them. Since all three
of these pieces of information are available from the dataset creation
property list, just pass the dataset creation property list down the
function call chain and query for the information needed in a particular
function.

FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)

Bug fix
Description:
$(LT_RUN) was used to execute ./H5detect in src/Makefile.in.
$RUNTEST was set to $(LT_RUN) which was used to execute sequential
executable. $(LT_RUN) is "../libtool --mode=execute". But libtool
invokes some commands that are not supported in the Tflops machine.
That caused failures during the build and check processes.
Solution:
Upon investigation, there does not seem to be need to use $(LT_RUN)
any more. The "libtool --mode=link" now generates a "fake" executable
that is actually a command-script file that can regenerate the real
executable with dynamic libraries hooks setup properly.
Undo all those $LT_RUN substitute and let $RUNSERIAL execute those
sequential executables.

Code cleanup
Description:
Reduce gratuitous differences between H5D_write and H5D_read and also
remove distracting debugging printf's that were ifdef'd out.
Platforms tested:

Code tweak.
Description:
Allow the 'fill' parameter of H5S_select_fill to be NULL and allocate a
temporary buffer for it, if so.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Update
Description:
Updated ltmain.sh with the newest version from the 1.4.2 libtool. The
one I updated with earlier still had a few bugs in it, for some
reason. I got rid of the RPM version on my machine and used the
compiled source instead.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
On some platforms, mktemp doesn't work. This would wipe out the
tmpdir variable's value.
Solution:
Reinitialize tmpdir in these cases.
Platforms tested:
HP-UX
Purpose:
windows support of socket function
Description:
gethostname is treated as socket function in windows and
it is defined at winsock.h.
for every windows socket function to be called, it must start
with WSAStartup and end with WSACleanup
Solution:
Add WSAstartup and WSACleanup with WIN32 macro.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000, confirmed at linux 2.2.18
Purpose:
update macro HDstat
Description:
The original defination of HDstat only defines HDstat as stat.
the file size defined at struct stat is int32,
However for files greater than 4G(or 2G)file, lookup of file size will
fail on windows when using stat. Add a macro for windows,define HDstat
as istat64.
This fix is the same as HDfstat macro.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 2.2.18
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Different MPI implementations use different ways to
pass MPI objects between C and Fortran layers. MPI-2 defines
a standard set of MPI_*_c2f(f2c) functions for this purpose.
Unfortunately it is not implemented everywhere and makes
code non-portable between different parallel platforms.
Solution:
Always use MPI_*c2f(f2c) functions in our code. Configure
finds out if those functions are available. If not, then we define
macros to immulate those functions.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64-6.5 (modi4) and SP3 (seaborg.nersc.gov). On those platforms
functions do not exist and we use macros. Bill will test on
HPUX System V (SDSC machine) to check if this works when functions
are defined. Preliminary testing showed that it worked.
Fix
Description:
When doing a TRY_LINK, the compiler complained about lack of
parameters being passed to the function.
Solution:
Added the parameter it wants...
Updated the installation instruction for the Tflops machine.
Moved the parallel HDF5 building instructions to the front
and putting in a NOTE that the sequential version is not supported
any more because it has little practical value to build sequential
applications for the Tflops machine.
Update
Description:
Updated the way we used the AC_INIT macros so that it's current to
the new standard way and not deprecated anymore.
Also, added a test for some functions during parallel Fortran
configure. This required the creation of an H5config_fortran.h file
so that we can test for these...
Platforms tested:
Elena is going to test the changes to the fortran after she checks in
her other code. I will test on SDSC machines after getting her code.
The other changes were tested on Linux.
Bug fix
Description:
The symbol "RAW" is already defined in some ioctl.h files.
Changed it to RAWIO.
Platforms tested:
Tflops.
(I am commiting this from TFLOPS. Will check it out immediate
to test on local machines.)
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up the H5B_iterate code to not have a single hard-wired iterator for
each interface which uses a B-tree, instead accept a function pointer which
determines the callback function. This allows additional iterator
callbacks to be defined without requiring additional H5B functions to be
created.
In that spirit, remove the H5B_prune_by_extent call and convert the
H5F_istore callback routine for it into a callback routine for H5B_iterate.

FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Feature Update
Description:
Modified the AC_OUTPUT macro to coincide with the now-standard

Users could not trace MPI programs when library wasn't compiled for
parallel execution
Solution:
Allow Pablo Trace library to set the processor number and generate
the filenames for each processor.
Platforms tested:

New feature
Description:
Added h5_show_hostname to display the hostname of the host in
which the process runs. It can help identify location of process
in multiple processes or batch launching environments.

Bug fix
Description:
Zlib-compression was reported according to if a Z-library (e.g., libz.a)
has been found. It actually needs the presence of a valid zlib.h header
file and the compress2() routine.
Solution:
Changed the IF_YES_NO to be more general by accepting multiple arguments
and changed the Zlib-compression depends on zlib.h header and the
compress2() routine.
Platforms tested:
Eirene.
Purpose:
1. add install hdf5 lib.,tools batch file 2. add comments and earse warning 3. update H5pubconf.h
Description:
1. With the request from supporting team, add a batch file that can
automatically move all library, include and binary files to
a directory called hdf5lib under the top directory.
2. H5Tinit.c, H5pubconf.h and H5config.h are adapted from UNIX platform
but manually maintained on windows. Add a one-line comment to avoid
confusions.
3. erase a compiling warning for unlink.dll
4. Update H5pubconf.h, malloc(0) returns a non-NULL pointer for windows;
So define H5_MALLOC_WORK on H5pubconf.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Feature
Description:
Added option -c to allow skipping file system Checking. This allows
users to run the test even if the program thinks it may fill up the
file system.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Code cleanup
Description:
Platform dependent code related to the struct stat and fstat
calls polluted source codes. Hard to maintain.
Solution:
Platform dependent code are moved to H5private.h and then internal
code can #include H5private.h. Repeat those macro definition for
the stdio and multi drivers since they area examples for writing
a virtual file driver. They must not use any internal code.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), modi4 (serial including gass driver.)
Code cleanup
Description:
Update 'indent' flags for library to include some flags in later versions
of GNU indent.

Code Cleanup
Description:
Remove "knowledge" about external file storage from H5D_init_storage and
call H5F_seq_write instead, which handles things correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Purpose:
change include header format
Description:
the format <> of headers was causing problems in the file H5Tinit.c
Solution:
changed to
#include "H5private.h"
#include "H5Iprivate.h"
#include "H5Eprivate.h"
#include "H5FLprivate.h"
#include "H5MMprivate.h"
#include "H5Tpkg.h"
Platforms tested:
w2000
Code cleanup
Description:
Got rid of the "H5T_BKG_TEMP" setting that was used internally to the
library, since temporary background buffers are now handled by the
individual conversion routines instead of in a global background buffer.
No APIs were changed or affected by this.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Maintenance
Description:
The tflops option local modification in bin/config.sub was wiped out
during the latest autoconfigure tools upgrade. Instead of adding it
in for every autoconfigure tools upgrade, I changed the instruction
to use a standard feature in configure.
./configure --host=i386-intel-osf1
This is a bit more typing but no more local modification.
