Bug fix
Description:
When two property lists are compared, the H5Pequal routine was just
comparing the raw information for the property values. This causes problems
when the raw information contains pointers to other information.
Solution:
Allow a 'compare' callback to be registered for properties, so that a user
application get perform the comparison itself, allowing for "deep" compares of
the property value.
This was exported to the H5Pregister & H5Pinsert routines in the development
branch, but not the release branch.

Bug Fix
Description:
Two things:
- static libraries may depend upon the HDF5 library. We should
put them before the HDF5 library on the commandline instead of
afterwards to avoid conflict.
- the CFLAGS weren't being used during linking. This was causing
problems on Arabica where the flags are important to
distinguish between building a 32-bit and 64-bit application.
Solution:
- Added logic so that it catches the static libraries and puts them
before the hdf5 library on the command line. WARNING: This may not
work in all situations...but it should be okay for the good
majority.
- added the CFLAGS macro to the commandline...

Description:
When doing a "configure" using the h5cc script as the compiler, it

problem was that it was trying to link the file afterwards. Of
course, the file wouldn't be there, so it would fail.

New feature/enhancement
Description:
Chunked datasets are handled poorly in several circumstances involving
certain selections and chunks that are too large for the chunk cache and/or
chunks with filters, causing the chunk to be read from disk multiple times.
Solution:
Rearrange raw data I/O infrastructure to handle chunked datasets in a much
more friendly way by creating a selection in memory and on disk for each chunk
in a chunked dataset and performing all of the I/O on that chunk at one time.
There are still some scalability (the current code attempts to
create a selection for all the chunks in the dataset, instead of just the
chunks that are accessed, requiring portions of the istore.c and fillval.c
tests to be commented out) and performance issues, but checking this in will
allow the changes to be tested by a much wider audience while I address the
remaining issues.

Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
"$@" was used to represent all argument provided. This has the
unfortunate effect as one argument of "" when actually no argument
was given. Some machines throw the "" away but some like Tflops
and Alpha Q, retains them as a single argument of "". This caused
the no filename given test to fail.
Solution:
Replaced "$@" with a plain $@.
Platforms tested:
h5committested
Misc. update:
added more tests, described in the test matrix
Description:
test -r
test -l
expanded -d, -p and -n tests
test different types to include links and named types
test for non supported classes, e.g bitfield, opaque , etc
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
update
Description:
Added h5fc to the h5tools list.
Added feature that it will udpate tools that are present.
(Would still abort if no tools found at all.)
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committest since it does not test this tool at all.
Did various test in eirene by hand.
Misc. update:
added some niceties and utilities, and more tests
Description:
some niceties: more error messages on cases of bad input
utilities: some functions to more human readable output
more tests: described in the test matrix
Platforms tested:
Linux/rockaway(C)
SunOS/arabica (C)
SGI/modi4 (C)
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: On HP11.00 and True64 systems strtoll function that is used
to read text to long integers is not available. Compilation
fails for h5import.c
Solution: Replace strtoll with HDstrtoll. HDstrtoll is a private HDF5 function
defined in H5private.h file, but this include file was already used
by h5import for some other reasons. It would be probably better
to choose strtol or strtoll functions at the configuration
time, but HDstrtoll provided really simple solution for now.
Platforms tested: arabica (to test that where it was working, it is still working),
kelgia (HP11.00) and PSC True64 machine.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: h5import tests will fail if srcdir option
is used with configure.
Solution: Modified h5importtest.c h5importtestutil.sh files
to search for input files in the proper directory and
to write output files to the proper directory.
Platforms tested: Tested on burrwhite, arabica, and modi4.
Unfortunately srcdir option was used only on
arabica, since I am having a weird 'timezone'
problem on all Linux machines when srcdir is used, and
on modi4 build has to be done in the same directory (at
least this is a message I am getting from configure;
should it work?)
Misc. update:
added more tests to automatic testing
Description:
added test for an invalid option letter
added test for -h option
added test for an invalid option -d
added test for an invalid option -d number
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux, solaris, sgi
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: There was an old h5import (h5import.c) tool in the misc directory.
The tool created 8-bit integer datasets , it was never tested and/or
supported.
Solution: We decided to rename old h5import.c to h5createU8.c. The new name reflects what
actually old tool does. New executable h5createU8 is built in the misc directory.
h5import.c file (old one) is still in the misc directory, but h5import executable
is not built. (Sorry if I confused you!)
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested
Misc. update:
Purpose: New tool
Description: Pankaj created h5import tool long time ago. I am finally checking
the source code in for the 1.6 release.
Known problems: h5import test will crash if srcdir option
is used; will be fixed before the release.
Solution:
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested. h5import tests passed
I also tested on arabica with srcdir option to make sure that
there is a problem when srcdir is used. After that I disabled
h5import tests. Daily tests will build h5import, but will not run
h5import tests.
Misc. update:
added test script for h5diff
code cleaning for alpha release
makefile now generates the h5difftst.c program that generates 2 .h5 files for testing
Description:
the .sh script runs several runs of h5diff and compares the output
with a predifined output located in /tools/testfiles (.txt files)
righ now it has only one test
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (other platforms later , ok !? )

modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and gcc 2.95.4 & gcc 3.2.2
Misc. update:
Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file.
Bug Fix (Bug #806)
Description:
When compiling/installing with the command "make install" (without
performing a "make" beforehand) the tools weren't being made. This
was because the `install' command in the Makefiles only relied upon
public libraries, not private ones (which the one in the tools
directory is).
Solution:
Had the `install' command be dependent upon an "AUX_LIB" macro which
includes libraries which are needed but aren't distributed (that is,
they're staticly compiled).
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which
perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache
can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead
of collectively from all processes.
Solution:
Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which
could possibly trigger metadata I/O.
Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty
metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during
independent I/O.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)

Lots of performance improvements & a couple new internal API interfaces.
Description:
Performance Improvements:
- Cached file offset & length sizes in shared file struct, to avoid
constantly looking them up in the FCPL.
- Generic property improvements:
- Added "revision" number to generic property classes to speed
up comparisons.
- Changed method of storing properties from using a hash-table
to the TBBT routines in the library.
- Share the propery names between classes and the lists derived
from them.
- Removed redundant 'def_value' buffer from each property.
- Switching code to use a "copy on write" strategy for
properties in each list, where the properties in each list
are shared with the properties in the class, until a
property's value is changed in a list.
- Fixed error in layout code which was allocating too many buffers.
- Redefined public macros of the form (H5open()/H5check, <variable>)
internally to only be (<variable>), avoiding innumerable useless
calls to H5open() and H5check_version().
- Reuse already zeroed buffers in H5F_contig_fill instead of
constantly re-zeroing them.
- Don't write fill values if writing entire dataset.
- Use gettimeofday() system call instead of time() system when
checking the modification time of a dataset.
- Added reference counted string API and use it for tracking the
names of objects opening in a file (for the ID->name code).
- Removed redundant H5P_get() calls in B-tree routines.
- Redefine H5T datatype macros internally to the library, to avoid
calling H5check redundantly.
- Keep dataspace information for dataset locally instead of reading
from disk each time. Added new module to track open objects
in a file, to allow this (which will be useful eventually for
some FPH5 metadata caching issues).
- Remove H5AC_find macro which was inlining metadata cache lookups,
and call function instead.
- Remove redundant memset() calls from H5G_namei() routine.
- Remove redundant checking of object type when locating objects
in metadata cache and rely on the address only.
- Create default dataset object to use when default dataset creation
property list is used to create datasets, bypassing querying
for all the property list values.
- Use default I/O vector size when performing raw data with the
default dataset transfer property list, instead of querying for
I/O vector size.
- Remove H5P_DEFAULT internally to the library, replacing it with
more specific default property list based on the type of
property list needed.
- Remove redundant memset() calls in object header message (H5O*)
routines.
- Remove redunant memset() calls in data I/O routines.
- Split free-list allocation routines into malloc() and calloc()-
like routines, instead of one combined routine.
- Remove lots of indirection in H5O*() routines.
- Simplify metadata cache entry comparison routine (used when
flushing entire cache out).
- Only enable metadata cache statistics when H5AC_DEBUG is turned
on, instead of always tracking them.
- Simplify address comparison macro (H5F_addr_eq).
- Remove redundant metadata cache entry protections during dataset
creation by protecting the object header once and making all
the modifications necessary for the dataset creation before
unprotecting it.
- Reduce # of "number of element in extent" computations performed
by computing and storing the value during dataspace creation.
- Simplify checking for group location's file information, when file
has not been involving in file-mounting operations.
- Use binary encoding for modification time, instead of ASCII.
- Hoist H5HL_peek calls (to get information in a local heap)
out of loops in many group routine.
- Use static variable for iterators of selections, instead of
dynamically allocation them each time.
- Lookup & insert new entries in one step, avoiding traversing
group's B-tree twice.
- Fixed memory leak in H5Gget_objname_idx() routine (tangential to
performance improvements, but fixed along the way).
- Use free-list for reference counted strings.
- Don't bother copying object names into cached group entries,
since they are re-created when an object is opened.
The benchmark I used to measure these results created several thousand
small (2K) datasets in a file and wrote out the data for them. This is
Elena's "regular.c" benchmark.
These changes resulted in approximately ~4.3x speedup of the
development branch when compared to the previous code in the
development branch and ~1.4x speedup compared to the release
branch.
Additionally, these changes reduce the total memory used (code and
data) by the development branch by ~800KB, bringing the development
branch back into the same ballpark as the release branch.
I'll send out a more detailed description of the benchmark results
as a followup note.
New internal API routines:
Added "reference counted strings" API for tracking strings that get
used by multiple owners without duplicating the strings.
Added "ternary search tree" API for text->object mappings.

* main: Replaced the H5LS_PREPEND_FILENAME compile-time symbol which was
always defined, with a runtime decision. If h5ls is
invoked with more than one argument then the file name
is displayed as part of the object name, otherwise the
file name is not displayed.
Renamed h5dumptst.c to h5dumpgentest.c.
Added a test to run h5dumpgentest to make it can run without error. Note
that this does not verify if it is generating the correct test files.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? YES
Misc. update:
Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file. YES
Changed the file name nofilename.ddl to tnofilename.ddl, to be consistent
with the other file names.
Platforms tested:
eirene only since this is a very simple change.
Improvement
Description:
Moved the code parsing for missing file name in the parse_command_line
routine.
Added a test checking if the tool fails as expected when no file name is
given.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? YES
Misc. update:
Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file. YES, added nofilename.ddl
Bug fix (ID 765 and part of ID 841)
Description:
"h5dump -H" would core dump. It was because the code was not
checking if there was any file argument after option parsing.
It referred to an non-existing filename argument.
There was also some very old but not commented code which allowed
the use of back slash to escape a filename begun with '-'. The
'--' option is better and more common practice.
Solution:
Added code to check if there is still a filename argument after parsing.
(This checking probably should goto inside the option_parsing routine.
Also removed that old code mentioned above.
Platforms tested:
eirene, arabica and modi4
updated copyright note.
Copied the UNUSED correction from v1.4.
Added an example to the usage of -- option.

Possible Bug Fix
Description:
There seems to be a problem with the h5cc script picking up old
header files. This may have something to do with the CPPFLAGS macro
being set to some nefarious thing and the compiler looking in those
directories for the header files instead of the one where HDF5 is
actually installed.
Solution:
Put the -I$includedir first.
Platforms tested:
None...This is really triggered by the nightly tests. I'm kind of
hoping that this will fix things...
Bug fix
Description:
Old setup put $(srcdir)/h5redeploy in the install list but this
same list is used for clean too, thus the file is removed from
source. That is bad.
Solution:
Set it to use a cp to do it. Need to change the source version
name to something else because for one, it is confusing to use
the same name. For another, if the build is done in place (i.e.,
not using --srcdir), the source file is removed, again.
So, renamed it with the .in suffix. Who knows, it may take
more processing than just cp when more features are added to it.
Platforms tested:
Eirene
Bug Fix
Description:
On AIX machines, the number of script interpreters which ran the
testh5dump.sh script would strip too many of the quotes away, causing
problems if you're quoting something with a space in it.
Solution:
Just got rid of the spaces and used ',' instead.
Platforms tested:
AIX and Linux
Purpose:
user reported a bug on h5 to gif tool
Description:
h5 to gif did not read an HDF5 image correctly
Solution:
updated the program so that it reads the updated HDF5 image format to the latest specification
the debug version of MSVC was giving a failure on the write of the GIF file,
regarding the GIF file pointer
this write error is eliminated declaring that pointer a global variable
there is still an applicattion error on the exit of the program, only on the debug version of MSVC
Platforms tested:
w2000
Migrate from configure macros of XYZ_ABC to H5_XYZ_ABC
Description:
configure generates many macros definitions on the fly and
were stored in src/H5config.h which is included by H5public.h.
But other software that uses hdf5 may also run their own configure.
There can be a clash in macro name space. We decided awhile ago
to prepend all generated macros with "H5_" to avoid conflicts.
The process has started and this commit completes it (at least attempt
to).
Solution:
Many macros symbols (e.g. SIZEOF_xxx and HAVE_xxx were changed to
H5_SIZEOF_xxx and H5_HAVE_xxx). Then H5private.h no longer includes
H5config.h. This cuts H5config.h away from HDF5 source code.
Pending issues:
The module of fortran and pablo are to be resolved in a different
commit.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), arabica (solaris 7 --enable-fortran, --enable-cxx)
Minor h5ls bugfix for compound types with array members.
(Similar changes shortly for 1.4 branch).

* display_cmpd_type: Removed code to display array dimensions from display_cmpd_type()
since this was a holdover from the days when hdf5
didn't have an array datatype and was duplicated by
display_array_type().
Code removal
Description:
Removed the HDF4 source files from the HDF5 tree. The directories
will remain. Use the "-P" option when doing a cvs checkout or update
to "prune" the empty directories from your personal tree.
Code Motion
Description:
Removal of HDF4 from the configure/Makefiles. This is a precursor to
the actual physical removal of the HDF4 tools from the HDF5 tree.
Platforms tested:
Arabica, Dangermouse
Bug Fix
Description:
Some -I paths weren't included in the h5cc script. That would cause
the compiler to fail if it was trying to find gass header files or
the like.
Solution:
Added the CPPFLAGS macro to the h5cc.in file so that it'll be there
when it's generated. This will also include some -D options which we
compiled the library with, like the LFS flags on Linux.
Also changed the configure* files so that it will "chmod" the created
h5cc file to 755 (executable) since that wasn't happening all the
time...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
There was a problem with having a lot of groups nested together. We
could only handle 1024 characters at most, but, in a parallel program
especially, it could occur that there were lots and lots of groups
and would be more than 1024.
Solution:
I made the "objname" part of the obj_t structure a pointer instead of
a fixed size. Added code to allocate/deallocate the memory we need
for it. Had to fix how the "prefix" was being handled in the h5dump
program. It was also set to only 1024 characters in length. I made it
dynamic.
Added a test case...Go me!
Platforms tested:
Linux, Solaris
Oops
Description:
I added files for testing the group comments dumping feature, but
didn't actually add it to the testh5dump.sh script.
Solution:
Added it.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
The library path was relying upon the "exec_prefix" variable.
However, we weren't including that into the h5cc script.
Solution:
Added it.
Platforms tested:
Linux
