Description: Restore 6 old error API functions back to the library to be backward
compatible with v1.6. They are H5Epush, H5Eprint, H5Ewalk, H5Eclear, H5Eset_auto,
H5Eget_auto. These functions do not have error stack as parameter.
Solution: Internally, these functions use default error stack.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Update
Description:
Updated the Copyright statement
Platforms tested:
Linux (This change is only in the comments, so I just check that the
modules still compile)
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which
perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache
can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead
of collectively from all processes.
Solution:
Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which
could possibly trigger metadata I/O.
Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty
metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during
independent I/O.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel
Misc. update:
Updated release_docs/RELEASE
Update
Description:
Changed includes of the form:
#include <hdf5_file.h>
to
#include "hdf5_file.h"
so that gcc can pick them up easier without including the system
header files since we don't care about them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Clean up warnings
Description:
The "FAILED" macro is defined by Windows and is causing warnings and
potential errors when compiled on that platform.
Solution:
Change our macro from FAILED to H5_FAILED.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
The "FILENAME" declared extern in h5test.h is not always used.
It was used in h5_cleanup to remove temporary files created
during tests. Not all tests codes have used this routine.
Indeed, quite a few of test programs do "#define FILENAME ".
Also, h5_cleanup needs to work in tandem with h5_fixname.
h5_fixname accepts an explicite base_name argument instead
of using the global variable FILENAME. That is cleaner.
Solution:
Added char *base_name[] as a new argument to h5_cleanup, in
the same style as h5_fixname. Removed "extern char *FILENAME..."
from use. Also, undo some unnecessary declaration of "char *FILENAME"
from some tests which don't use it at all (yet).
Platforms tested:
modi4-64(irix64), arabica(solari2.7), eirene(linux)
(arabica could not launch tests automatically. I had to hack
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make them run.)
----------------------
./src/H5T.c
Fixed a typo in the registration of the `unsigned char' to
`unsigned long long' type conversion that caused it to not be
registered, falling back to software whenever that conversion
path was taken.
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/testhdf5.c

./test/lheap.c [NEW]
./test/tohdr.c [REMOVED]
./test/ohdr.c [NEW]
./test/tstab.c [REMOVED]
./test/stab.c [NEW]
Removed the `t' from the front of these names and made each
test a stand-alone program following the format of most of the
other tests.
./test/big.c
Uses libh5test.a but always sets the low-level driver to 1GB
file family.
The `#if' near the top to set the data space to 8GB has been
simplified now that `long_long' is always defined and the
error message is improved when `long_long' isn't wide enough.
Cleanup code was added to the error handling.
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
Uses libh5test.a. Added error cleanup code.
./test/dtypes.c
./test/h5test.c
Added 68 new tests that check hardware and software
conversions between `long long' and `unsigned long long' and
the other integer types. The tests only run on machines where
sizeof(long_long)!=sizeof(long). We test a total of 180
different integer conversions, half in hardware and half in
software.
Cut down the number of times each test is run from 5 to 1 so
it doesn't take so long. If you want to run more times
there's a constant that can be changed at the top of the file.
./test/extend.c
Removed unused variable.
./test/h5test.c
./test/h5test.h
./test/external.c
./test/fillval.c
The h5_cleanup() returns true/false so it can be used in an `if'
statement to clean up additional files.
./doc/html/Environment.html
Indented. Added HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_DRIVER descriptions.
./src/H5P.c
Changed the trace type for the second argument from `Iu' to
`x' since it's an output parameter.
./INSTALL
Added a warning that the GNU zlib that comes with the latest
version of HDF4 is too old to use with HDF5 and must be
renamed so configure doesn't see it when `--enable-hdf4' is
used.
----------------------
./INSTALL.parallel [NEW]
We're beginning to unify some of the parallel installation
steps. This file will contain general information for

./configure.in
./configure [REGENERATED]
./src/H5config.h.in [REGENERATED]
Check for xdr_int() in libnsl required on Solaris when linking
with hdf4. It's found on the Irix system I tested which
complains that `-lnsl' didn't resolve any symbols. Oh well.
Fixed the order of searching for libdf and libmfhdf for hdf4
linking.
./configure.in
./configure [REGENERATED]
./src/H5config.h.in [REGENERATED]
./src/H5Z.c
Check for compress() in libz in order to find older versions
of the library that will still work for hdf4. Added a
separate check for compress2() that hdf5 will use.

Added checks for Posix.1g types like `int8_t'. If not defined

`int8_t'.

Calling H5*_term_interface() resets interface_initialize_g to
FALSE so a subsequent call to H5open() (implied or explicit)
reinitializes global variables properly.
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5S.c
Changed MAX_SIZET, MAX_SSIZET, MAX_HSIZET, and MAX_HSSIZET to
SIZET_MAX, SSIZET_MAX, HSIZET_MAX, and HSSIZE_MAX to they
match the Posix.1 constants in <limits.h>.
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tprivate.h
./src/H5detect.c
Added 36 more integer hardware conversion functions to the
type conversion table for conversions to/from `long long' and
`unsigned long long'. The `long long' names will be changed
shortly to make them portable to Win32.
Changed H5T_init() to H5T_native_open() and added an
H5T_native_close() to open and close the predefined native
data types.
Increased the initial size of the type conversion table from
64 to 128 entries.
Reordered the 90 new integer conversion functions so the names
that are printed favor `int' over `short' or `long' when two
of them are the same.
./test/dtypes.c
Added hardware and software integer conversion tests for the
56 functions I added recently but not the additional 36
checked in this time. That will come next.
Call H5close() after each test so type conversion statistics
are easier to follow. Try this: $ HDF5_DEBUG=t ./dtypes
Added more debugging output for when things go wrong.
./src/H5private.h
Removed trailing carriage-returns inserted by broken operating
system ;-)
----------------------
./RELEASE
Updated with important changes I made since the second beta.
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Dprivate.h
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
./src/H5R.c
./src/H5Rprivate.h
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Any API function that used to take an `hid_t loc_id' followed
by a `const char *name' can now take any type of object for
the loc_id as long as the object is somehow associated with a
file. Internally, H5G_loc() was modified to return an
H5G_entry_t* instead of an H5G_t* so it's more general.
Among other things, this allows one to retrieve information
about an object like a named type or dataset without knowing
the name of the type or dataset:
int
get_nlinks (hid_t obj)
{
H5G_stat_t sb;
if (H5Gstat(obj, ".", TRUE, &sb)<0) return -1;
return sb.nlink;
}
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
These files needed a couple of changes because they call some
of the internal functions whose H5G_t arguments changed to
H5G_entry_t.
./src/H5A.c
Got rid of all the switch statements for getting symbol table
entries for varous objects and replaced them with a call to
H5G_loc() allowing attributes to automatically apply to any
type of object that belongs to a file.
./test/Makefile.in
Moved the ragged array tests from the normal list of tests to
the `make timings' target.
./test/ragged.c
Added rewrite tests -- rewrite the rows of a dataset changing
the number of rows and the length of each row.
./test/mtime.c
Added a test that checks that H5Gstat() can be called with a
dataset as the first argument.
./src/H5S.c
Added #ifdef HAVE_PARALLEL around code to check for the
HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES environment variable because the global
variable that gets set is #ifdef'd.
./bin/release
bzip2 uses .bz2 as the file extension.
----------------------
./src/H5A.c
Named data types can have attributes.
Fixed bugs where the API functions didn't check the return
values of their internal counterparts and thus the automatic
error reporting didn't work.
Fixed some places where the error stack wasn't cleared after a
function returned failure.
Data types returned by H5Aget_type() are always read-only.
If the `attr_num' argument of H5Aiterate() is null then it
acts like H5Giterate() instead of failing -- it begins
processing attributes with the first one.
./src/H5D.c
We check for allocation overruns when scalar datasets are
stored in external files.
./src/H5O.c
H5O_modify() will fail if the message is >=16kB.
./src/H5Oattr.c
Split some long lines
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Added H5T_entof() to support attributes on named types.
./src/h5ls.c
Prints the names of attributes and their sizes.
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
./test/links.c
./test/shtype.c
If the environment variable HDF5_NOCLEANUP is defined then the
temporary files are not removed. The testhdf5 program still
has the bug that it removes *.h5, clobbering test files from
other programs... oh well.
./test/dtypes.c
Added attribute tests.
----------------------
./html/Datasets.html
Fixed a couple of typos.
./src/H5.c
Added the `Z' modifier to HDfprintf() for `size_t' sizes. Use
it like this:
HDfprintf(stderr,"size is %Zd\n", (size_t)x);
./src/H5AC.c
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
The maximum number of meta data objects that can be cached can
be set from the application (but the library might not honor
it every time; it's a hint).
./src/H5D.c
Changed a warning message so it's not so alarming.
./src/H5Fistore.c
Chunks can be cached.
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
Added H5O_copy() and H5O_free() to copy and free messages.
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
Added H5Pset_cache() and H5Pget_cache() and changed lots of
"template" to "property list".
./src/H5Z.c
./src/H5Zpublic.h
Miscellaneous little things to clean up. Mostly just removed
H5Z_MAXVAL and added H5Z_USERDEF_MIN and H5Z_USERDEF_MAX.
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/chunk.c [NEW]
Added a performance test for chunk caching. It looks at the
amount of I/O instead of timing because timing is partly
dependent on the chunk size and I wanted a measurement that
was a function of only the cache size. Run `chunk' with no
arguments and then say `gnuplot x-gnuplot' to see the plots
(press return between plots). Postscript files are created for
each plot.
./test/big.c
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
./test/gheap.c
Added H5F_ACC_DEBUG so we can see cache performance
statistics.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
./src/Makefile.in
./test/Makefile.in
Added new files.
./config/linux
./src/H5HL.c
./src/H5HLprivate.h
./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
Added `-DH5HL_DEBUG -DH5MF_DEBUG' to the debug list.
./html/H5.format.html
Updated shared object message information.
./src/H5D.c
Datasets can now share data types.
./src/H5F.c
Updated a comment that referred to H5ACC_WRITE.
./src/H5HG.c
./src/H5HGprivate.h
Moved a few things around. Made debugging better so you can
now give a collection address to ./src/debug and it shows some
useful stuff.
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Ocont.c
./src/H5Odtype.c
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5Olayout.c

./src/H5Onull.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
./src/H5Osdspace.c
./src/H5Oshared.c [NEW]
./src/H5Ostab.c
Supports shared messages.
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tprivate.h
./src/H5Tpublic.h
The H5Tshare() function allows the user to give the library
hints about how a data type will be used.
./test/shtype.c
Tests the H5Tshare() function.
./test/gheap.c
Tests the global heap.
./configure.in
./config/BlankForm [NEW]
./config/alpha-dec
./config/freebsd2.2.1
./config/hpux10.20
./config/irix6.2
./config/irix64
./config/linux
./config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0
./config/rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.4.0
./config/solaris2.5
Cleaned up lots of configuration stuff and made the site
configuration files lots easier and more uniform. To make a
new file grab the BlankForm and modify it.
By default, debugging is turned on for most packages. Within
a package one can use `#ifdef H5AC_DEBUG' to wrap debugging
code. Other options are:
--enable-debug
--enable-debug=yes
The default, most but not all packages.
--disable-debug
--enable-debug=no
--enable-debug=none
The symbol NDEBUG is defined and none of the package
debug symbols.
--enable-debug=all
Debugging is turned on for all packages. This might
produce lots of output.
--enable-debug=g,d
Debugging is turned on for H5G and H5D.
A compile mode is also now supported
--enable-production
--enable-production=yes
The library is compiled with optimizations turned on.
The compiler flags are augmented by adding PROD_CFLAGS
and PROD_CPPFLAGS which are defined in the site config
file.
--disable-production
--enable-production=no
The default. The library is compiled for development
by including DEBUG_CFLAGS and DEBUG_CPPFLAGS defined in
the site config file. This is usually just `-g'.
--enable-production=profile
--enable-production=pg
Builds a library for profiling by including the flags
from PROFILE_CFLAGS and PROFILE_CPPFLAGS defined in the
site config file. This is usullay just `-pg' but it
could include optimization flags as well depending on
the type of profile one wants.
In summary, configure by saying `./configure' and you'll get a
development version of the library. Configure by saying
`./configure --enable-production --disable-debug' and you'll
get a production version with no debugging code.
