Purpose: Maintenance
Description: New fortran APIs h5pset_fapl_multi and h5pget_fapl_multi have been
added along with the new tests.
Solution:
Platforms tested: burrwhite with PGI compilers, arabica and modi4 with
--enable-parallel
Misc. update:
Purpose: Catching up with the C library
Description: Added tests for the follwoing new fortran functions
h5iget_name_f
h5tis_variavle_str_f
h5zunregister_f
h5zfilter_avail_f
h5pset_shuffle_f
h5pset_fletcher32
h5pset_edc_check_f
h5pget_edc_check_f
h5dfill_f
Solution:
Platforms tested: arabica(C and F90), burrwhite (pgcc and pgf90), modi4 (F90 and parallel)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
* Added support for generic properties.
* Added support for time allocation properties.
* Added support for variable length datatypes (only datatypes based
on INTEGER, REAL and CHARACTER Fortran types are supported).
* added some missing functions
Solution:
I am checking in new Fortran APIs and their man pages to support
1.5 features listed above.
Not all APIs have tests yet. APIs were written in Fall 2002, and I am afraid
that I will loose the code or totally forget what I did if I wait longer. ;-)
Platforms tested:
arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran), modi4 (parallel, fortran)
Improvement
Description:
The fortran test code did not exit with error like C programs do.
Without the appropriate exit code, make or shell could not tell the
fortran test program has encountered errors. So, make continues on
even when some fortran tests have failed.
Solution:
Consultant advised to use "CALL exit(code)" to simulate what C programs
do. Though this is not standard Fortran, he has not seen it failed to
work in most fortran compilers thought some of them, like intel compiler,
may need to link in an extra library.
Platforms tested:
Tested on burrwhite (linux 2.4), eirene (linux 2.2), sol (Solaris 8, serial
and mpich parallel), modi4.
Did not use the standard commit test since this is a purely fortran fix.
Purpose:
Added new F90 APIs
Description:
I added new F90 APIs, tests, and documentation for the following
functions:
h5fget_obj_count_f h5pequal_f h5tget_member_index_f
h5fget_obj_ids_f h5pget_fclose_degree_f
h5pset_fclose_degree_f
Documentation for exisiting functions was missing:
h5freopen_f, h5fflush_f, h5fmount_f, h5unmount_f, h5fget_create_plist_f,
h5fget_access_plist_f.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Linux 2.2 and IRIX64-6.5
Purpose:
Added missing fortran functions.
Description:
Four Library Fortran API functions have been added:
h5get_libversion_f, h5_check_version_f, h5garbage_collect_f and
h5dont_atexit_f. Only first two functions were tested.
Documentation file and RELEASE.txt were updated.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, IRIX64-6.5 and Linux 2.2
Purpose:
Bug fix, code improvement
Description:
Fortran tests didn't cleanup created files. Also HDF5_PREFIX and
HDF5_PARAPREFIX were not used to specify location of the files.
There was a redundant file in the testpar directory that contained
an error reporting function used by both serial and parallel tests.
Solution:
Created library h5test_fortran.a that contains functions used by the
serial and parallel tests. It includes Fortran and C functions that
may be called from Fortran programs to report errors, to modify
file names and to cleanup files after run. Modified test code to
use new functions.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2 (eirene) serial
IRIX64 (modi4) parallel with HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to $SCR
Solris 2.7 with mpich 1.2.4 with HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to /tmp/epourmal
Purpose:
Code clean up.
Description:
Many F90 compilers were not happy about character*(*) declarations.
Solution:
Used F90 character(len=*) declarations.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 and Linux 2.4
Purpose:
Bug fix.
Description:
fortranlib_test.f90 had a typo in the format string. Would not compile on O2K.
Test did not check the length of the attribute name.
Solution:
Fixed format strings.
Added more code to test returned attribute name length.
Platforms tested:
O2K, Linux
Purpose:
Added more Fortran tests
Description:
tH5A.f90 - attribute interface test
tH5I.f90 - identifier interface test
Solution:
Two new files were added to test H5A and H5I interfaces.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Linux
Adding the Fortran interface to the HDF5 library
Description:
Fortran is now a subdirectory of the HDF5 library tree.
Platforms tested:
Solaris and IRIX (O2K)
