Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered
vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit
platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned
int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and
unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to
16-bit architectures.
Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users
who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source
module (like Kent's h4toh5 library).
Solution:
Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Format and typos mostly
Description:
Changed the "Copyright" header of some files so they will be consistent.
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Purpose:
Test code improvement
Description:
- Added H5_HAVE_ZLIB_H and H5_HAVE_LIBZ to dsets.cpp
- Added the use of new API Exception::getCFuncName to obtain
the name of the function where failure occurs, to various places
in the test code.
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Adding Test
Description:
- Add the tests to the Makefile so that they'll be executed.
- Fixed a few bugs in dsets.cpp
* Some buffers should have been char *'s instead of void *'s.
* An iterator for a loop wasn't declared properly.
- Formatting changes
Solution:
- Changed the void *'s to char *'s.
- Declared the loop iterator.
NOTE: Doesn't work just yet. There's a conflict with a C++ keyword
(delete) in the H5Pprivate.h header file. Quincey's looking into
this.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Adding tests to the C++ API
Description:
The C++ API has no formal testing yet.
Solution:
Added tests for file and dataset interfaces. I'm still working on
other tests.
Platforms tested:
Linux (gcc version egcs-2.91.66)
I temporarily modified the Makefile on my local Linux machine and these
tests work. I need Bill to help adding them permanently before I can
test on an NCSA machine. I checked the files in now so Bill can do that.
