New feature.
Description:
Added routines to report on the amount of storage for:
1) 1.6 btree and heap storage info for groups
2) 1.8 btree, fractal heap storage info for groups, attributes and SOHM table
3) btree storage for chunked datasets
4) 1.8 superblock extension size.
Platform tested:
h5committested.
Add small 'h5mkgrp' tool to create groups in an HDF5 file from the command
line, allowing the group structure for a file to be created in a script. This
tool closely follows the 'mkdir' command line tool in UNIX/Linux.
Allow tool library applications to pass a FAPL to the h5tool_fopen() call,
giving some additional flexibility to tools which are adding objects to an
existing HDF5 file (like h5copy & h5mkgrp).
Fix missing files in MANIFEST from previous checkin(s).
Tested on:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
Description: Added test script and two test files in the tools/misc/testfiles
directory for testing h5stat tool; modified Makefile.am in tools/misc
and configure.in files to run the new test script; reran bin/recofigure
to update relevant configuration files; updated MANIFEST
Solution:
Platforms tested: heping with in place and srcdir builds; will do more testing
after the checkin.
Misc. update:
Description: I am checking in changes for the h5stat tool:
- updated Makefile.am to use tools library
- regenerated Makefile.in
- added command flags to display selected information
- added support for external files and filters
- small output formatting changes
For more information about current features and output see
updated h5stat RFC http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/h5stat/h5stat-spec.pdf
Solution:
Platforms tested: mir, heping, shanti, copper 64-bit, copper 32-bit parallel
using files from tools/testfiles directory and some NASA files
from our Web site.
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
AIX
solaris
with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
Bug fixes
Description:
This checkin fixes an occasional error on kelgia on sol during distclean.
It also causes test scripts to depend properly on the programs they're
supposed to be testing.
Solution:
The kelgia bug was due to some files being cleaned by automake and manually.
Removed the manual cleaning in src/Makefile.am.
Test script dependencies now need to be specified manually, since the
makefile can't guess what they test from their name. Currently all test
scripts in a given directory have a single list of dependencies--this was
easy and seems to be sufficient.
These dependencies are listed in the SCRIPT_DEPEND variable in the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
Description: repart_test.c was mistakenly treated as a tool, instead of a test program.
Solution: Took it out of the tool list.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Description: The change made yesterday regarding repart_test.c wasn't right.
Solution: Roll back to v1.6 until a solution is figured out.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Description: repart_test.c was mistakenly treated as a tool, instead of a test program.
Solution: Took it out of the list of tools.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Makefile feature
Description:
'make check-clean' now cleans *.h5 files created by tests as well as
.log and .chkexe files.
Solution:
check-clean is now a separate target in its own right, which cleans less
than mostlyclean (check-clean < mostlyclean < clean < distclean).
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, modi4 (serial and parallel)
Feature: check-clean target
Description:
'make check-clean' cleans up output files from tests.
Solution:
Tests create foo.chkexe and foo.log files. Scripts create foo.chksh and
foo.logsh files. 'make check-clean' will clean these files up so that
the tests can be re-run.
Also suppressed some not-very-useful output of Makefiles when it would
echo commands.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
Description: See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved
anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine
the member size.
Solution: This is the fourth step of checkin. A test suit is added for h5repart,
including a program to generate the test files, a script file to run h5repart,
and a program to verify repartitioned files can be opened by the library.
There's a change from the first step of checkin. Family name template is no
longer saved in the superblock because different pathname can make the name
different.
In the third step of checkin, h5repart has been modified. If h5repart is used
to change the size of family member file, the new size(actual member size) is saved
in the superblock.
In the second step of checkin, multi driver is checked against the driver
name saved in superblock. Wrong driver will result in a failure with an error message indicating
multi driver should be used. This change includes split driver because it's a special case for multi
driver.
In the first step of checkin. Family member size and name template(unused at this stage) are saved
in file superblock. When file is reopened,the size passed in thrin superblock. A different size
will trigger a failure with an error message indicating the right size. Wrong driver to open family
file will cause a failure, too.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: MANIFEST
Bug fix
Description:
Arabica exhibited strange errors when linker found wrong versions of
header files. This happened because include directories were
given to linker in the wrong order.
Solution:
Move include directories from AM_CFLAGS variable to INCLUDES
variable to put them before CPPFLAGS variable. Trust me, it works.
This bug may also have contributed to strange errors on other platforms
(kelgia?).
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, arabica.
(h5dump broke while building on arabica, but this happened in
a clean checkout, too).
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
