Code cleanup
Description:
Combined H5P_isa_class and H5I_object functionality into a new internal
H5P API function: H5P_object_verify, which checks that a property list is
the appropriate class and then returns the property list object associated
with the property list ID.
This reduces the source code by about 200 LOC and trims the library binary
some more.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir)
Code cleanup
Description:
Changed the last HRETURN* statements in the FUNC_ENTER macros into HGOTO*
macros, which reduces the size of the library binary in certain
configurations by another 10%
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) serial & parallel, IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) serial &
parallel
Bug fix
Description:
hsize_t comparisons for selection boundaries (in H5Sget_select_bounds)
were failing on Linux with --disable-hsizet.
Solution:
Changed comparisons to use use unsigned values instead of signed ones.

Note: This checkin includes temporary code in H5FDmpiposix.c to turn
off GPFS byte range token prefetches on ASCI/Blue. Once the HDF5 API
supports the necessary prerequisite functionality this temporary code
can be migraged up above HDF5.

Small Coding Change
Description:
Zeroed out the MPI_Status structure in one of our tests to determine
if MPI_Get_count() works on the machine or not. This is similar to
what we do in the library code to the status...
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up a few warnings which were showing up with --enable-production
turned on.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) serial & parallel
Code cleanup
Description:
Change most (all?) HRETURN_ERROR macros to HGOTO_ERROR macros, along with
HRETURN macros to HGOTO_DONE macros. This unifies the error return path
from functions and reduces the size of the library by up to 10% on some
platforms.
Additionally, I improved a lot of the error cleanup code in many routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) serial &
parallel.
Code cleanup
Description:
Created a new H5I function which combined the some of the functionality of
H5I_get_type and H5I_object: H5I_object_verify.
Using this new function in the library trims another ~200 lines of code off
the library and makes the resulting binaries smaller and faster also.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir)
Code cleanup
Description:
Move operations on each type of selection into the source code file for
each selection type (all->H5Sall.c, hyperslab->H5Shyper.c, etc.)
Remove central H5S_select_<foo> operations, instead calling the operations
through function pointers in each selection (a much more object-oriented
approach).
Platforms tested:

Purpose:

Description:
1. Since we don't support w98 anymore, delete the description about w98.

Large code cleanup/re-write
Description:
This is phase 1 of the data I/O re-architecture, with the following changes:
- Changed the selection drivers to not actually do any I/O, they
only generate the sequences of offset/length pairs needed for
the I/O (or memory access, in the case of iterating or filling
a selection in a memory buffer)
- Wrote more abstract I/O routines which get the sequence of offset/
length pairs for each selection and access perform the I/O or
memory access.
Benefits of this change include:
- Removed ~3400 lines of quite redundant code, with corresponding
reduction in the size of library binary.
- Any selection can now directly access memory when performing I/O,
if no type conversions are required, instead of just "regular"
hyperslab and 'all' selections, which speeds up I/O.
- Sped up I/O for hyperslab selections which have contiguous lower
dimensions by "flattening" them out into lesser dimensional objects
for the I/O.
No file format or API changes were necessary for this change.
The next phase will be to create a "selection driver" for each type of
selection, allowing each type of selection to directly call certain
methods that only apply to that type of selection, instead of passing
through dozens of functions which have switch statements to call the
appropriate method for each selection type. This will also reduce
the amount of code in the library and speed things up a bit more.
Phase 3 will involve generating an MPI datatype for all types of selections,
instead of only "regular" hyperslab and 'all' selections. This will
allow collective parallel I/O for all I/O operations which don't
require type conversions. It will also open up the door for allowing
collective I/O on datasets which require type conversion.
Phase 4 will involve changing the access pattern to deal with chunked
datasets in a more optimal way (in serial).
Phase 5 will deal with accessing chunked datasets more optimally for
collective parallel I/O operations.

Bug Fix
Description:
non-parallel case for new metadata cache flushing property wasn't set up
correctly.
Solution:
Initialize variables correctly.
Platforms tested:

Bug fix
Description:
t_mpi test program was not being run with the RUNPARALLEL command
Solution:
Put the t_mpi program into the TEST_PROGS_PARA macro instead of the
TEST_PROGS macro
Hopefully this'll fix the daily test problems on arabica, but I can't test
it because I can't get mpirun to work correctly for me.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel
Bug Fix
Description:
It was possible to create corrupted metadata information (either in memory
or in the file or both) with a parallel I/O program because of the way
metadata writes were being handled for writes out of the metadata cache.
Solution:
Added a dataset transfer property called "block before metadata write"
which is used by the MPI-I/O and MPI-posix drivers to sync up all the
processes before attempting a metadata write. This property is currently
only for metadata writes from the metadata cache.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel
Fix
Description:
Better check for versions of Linux. We didn't support kernels with
major version numbers >2 and minor version numbers <4...
Solution:
Fixed to check just that.

Bug fix
Description:
Deleting objects from a global heap was incorrectly setting the free space
in the heap chunk.
Solution:
Encode correct amount of free space.

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)
New feature.
Description:
Added MPI-posix VFL driver. This driver uses MPI to coordinate actions, but
performs I/O directly with posix sec(2) I/O functions. This driver should
_NOT_ be used if the file accessed is not on a parallel filesystem.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) w/parallel & IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel
New feature
Description:
Changed parallel I/O tests to use test script instead of just running
testphdf5 executable. This allows the MPI-posix driver to be tested easily.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) w/parallel and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel
Code cleanup
Description:
Changed a few direct calls to posix functions to use proper wrapper macros.
Also, changed method of extending file to use ftruncate().
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) && IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
Bug fix.
Description:
"strong" file closing feature was re-using free'd memory for objects which
were still open in the file.
Solution:
Used the "dmalloc" tools to determine where the memory was being
re-used and re-arranged the code to avoid these cases.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir)
New feature
Description:
Add support in for "dmalloc" debugging malloc library to configure script
and library headers.
