Adding new platform support
Description:
Added support for the C++ API on hpux11.00 with the compiler aCC.
Because aCC doesn't use "std," a new macro H5_NO_STD is provided
and used where "std" is presented in the library.
In addition, changed several cout's when reporting errors to cerr's.
Platforms tested:
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Linux 2.2x (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica) - by Elena
Misc. update:
Adding new platform support
Description:
Added the config file to support the C++ API on hpux11.00 with
the compiler aCC.
Platforms tested:
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Linux 2.2x (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica) - by Elena
Misc. update:
Will update MANIFEST and release_docs/RELEASE for new features.
Bug Fix
Description:
"using namespace std" isn't supported on HP-UX. We ahve the H5_NO_STD
flag begin set, but it wasn't being used.
Solution:
Added the check to the #ifdef line to see if H5_NO_STD is defined
before trying to use it in the program.
Platforms tested:
Kelgia
Bug Fix
Description:
Kelgia needs the old header file format for #includes.
Solution:
Conditionally include the old header file format if
OLD_HEADER_FILENAME is defined.
Platforms tested:
Kelgia
so_locations was not removed during distclean.
Added it to the distclean targets.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? No
[If no, why not?] Tested in modi4 and eirene with C++ enabled..
Update
Description:
Updated the configure scripts. Fortran and C++ didn't have proper
checks for Linux LFS support. Also needed to remove the "-g" flag
from the compile line if --enable-production is set. For that, I took
how it's being done in HDF5 Lite...
Platforms tested:
Linux
new functions
Description:
Added these member functions to class Group per the new C functions
H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and H5Gget_objtype_by_idx:
// Returns the number of objects in the group.
hsize_t getNumObjs() const;
// Retrieves the name of an object in a given group by giving index
ssize_t getObjnameByIdx(hsize_t idx, string& name, size_t size) const;
// Returns the type of an object in a given group by giving index;
// the overloaded function also provided the object type in text as
// "group" for H5G_GROUP
// "dataset" for H5G_DATASET
// "datatype" for H5G_TYPE
int getObjTypeByIdx(hsize_t idx) const;
int getObjTypeByIdx(hsize_t idx, string& type_name) const;
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 6.2 (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
Purpose:
use H5_DLLCPP to replacer __DLLCPP__ for c++ interfaces.
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 2.2.18smp, IRIX64, solaris 2.7, windows 2000
Update, Bug Fix, and Feature Add
Description:
- Updated how AC_{ENABLE,WITH} help messages were being generated.
Autoconf now gives you an AC_HELP_STRING macro to use to create
them.
- Fixed the problem with Linux LFS on RedHat 7.3 machines. It wasn't
finding getdents64(), so we can't rely on that being present
anymore...
- Added GPFS detection and setting.
- Updated how compression is specified. It's no longer necessary to
test for HAVE_ZLIB_H, HAVE_LIBZ, and HAVE_COMPRESS2. The one macro
{H5_}HAVE_COMPRESSION takes care of all of these.
Solution:
Changed the check for Linux LFS from looking for getdents() to
looking at the version number of the kernel (using the uname -r
command). You can still override with the --enable-linux-lfs switch
if you really believe that your <2.4 kernel has LFS support.
Platforms tested:
Linux (2.2 and 2.4)
Bug Fix
Description:
C++ uses the "off_t" type for external files as well. I'm assuming
that there's going to be a problem with 4 byte off_ts and 8 byte
off_ts in the C++ code as well. I compiled everything on Linux and it
worked, but I don't think we have a check for this bug in the library
yet...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
H5Ewalk_cb was being called from a C++ API, when it really is an
internal routine to the H5E interface.
Solution:
Removed C++ API wrapper for it.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Purpose:
New Feature - per library change
Description:
Added the new member function getMemberIndex to classes EnumType and
CompType to match the new C API H5Tget_member_index. Given the name
of a member of an enumeration or compound datatype, this new function
queries the index of the member.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 6.2 (eirene)
New Feature - per library change
Description:
Added new member function DataSet::fillMemBuf for the new
C API H5Dfill. Quincey's description of H5Dfill is as followed:
Added new H5Dfill() routine to fill the elements in a selection for a
memory buffer with a fill value. This is a user API wrapper around some
internal routines which were needed for the fill-value modifications
from Raymond as well as Pedro's code for reducing the size of a chunked
dataset.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 6.2 (eirene)
Update
Description:
Changed so that the Fortran and C++ configures are named "HDF5
Fortran" and "HDF5 C++" resp. instead of just "HDF5.
Solution:
Add an extra parameter to the subroutine which generates the new
configure.in files.
Platforms tested:
Linux
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
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.
Feature Update
Description:
Modified the AC_OUTPUT macro to coincide with the now-standard
way of doing things. I.e., you put all of the files you want to
generate into the AC_CONFIG_FILES macro and invode AC_OUTPUT with
no parameters.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Autotools Update
Description:
I've updated autoconf, automake, and libtool to the latest/greatest
versions; 2.53, 1.6, and 1.4.2 resp.
Many changes come with the new versions:
- ltconfig is no longer used
- acconfig.h is no longer used (#define values are declared with
the macro)
- regeneration of all of the aclocal.m4, configure, and
H5config.h.in files.
- new config.{guess,sub} files
- new ltmain.sh file
Platforms tested:
AIX (blue), and Linux
