Code cleanup
Description:
DataType::commit had incorrect parameter, H5Object. Changed
it to CommonFG, for H5File and Group.
The change caused additional header files needed for several
other cpp files.
Moved some functions from Group into the base class CommonFG for
H5File too.

Too minor to require h5committest
Purpose:
HDF5 now supports SZIP with no encoder.
Description:
SZIP can be configured to have both encoder and decoder or just to have the decoder. HDF5 can now query the configuration of any filter, and will throw errors if users try to write using a filter with encoding disabled.
Solution:
Added H5Zget_filter_info function, changed API for H5Pget_filter and H5P_get_filter_by_id. See SZIP RFC.
Platforms tested:
Copper (fortran, C++, parallel), Sleipnir (C++), Arabica (fortran, C++), Verbena (fortran, C++)
Misc. update:

Bug fix
Description:
Change C++ methods to match C prototypes for datatype overflow callback
routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/C++
too minor to require h5committest
Description: A new exception handler for datatype conversion(set through
H5Pset_type_conv_cb) to replace the old overflow callback function(set
through H5Tset_overflow). This new handler can deal with overflow, precision
loss and fraction truncate during datatype conversion.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Misc. update: release_docs
Feature
Description:
Added to AddTest() a generic parameters pointer argument to
allow some extra parameters for some tests. E.g., test file
names can be customized during runtime and passed into the
test routines.
Platforms tested:
"h5committested".
Also run compat test in eirene.
Cleaning up warnings
Description:
Many exception constructors have warnings about reference to temporary
location because of the parameter initialization, for example,
"const string& var = 0."
Solution:
Changed "string&" parameters to pass by value for these constructors.
Consequently, passing string by value also takes care of char pointers
so the overloaded constructors for char pointers are then removed.
Also, instead of setting Exception::detailMessage to null string, I
set it to DEFAULT_MSG ("No detailed information provided") by default.

Modified the "dependencies" script to use "top_srcdir" only instead
of "srcdir", which tended to confuse matters. Regenerated the
Dependencies files.
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Revamped the configuration system. The configurations for the Fortran
and C++ libraries are no longer separate from the "main"
configuration system. This involved removing the "configure*" and
"aclocal.m4" files from the fortran/ and c++/ subdirectories. Also
merging settings in the config/ subdirectories into the main config/
subdirectory.
Fortran header files had to be modified a little for Linux. It was
checking if it was a Linux machine by some #defines, however with the
-std=c99 switch, these defines weren't there. I added a check for
some other ones which should be there whether the -std=c99 switch is
used or not.

on T3E is finally completed successfully. Two other
Crays are still running, and running, and running.
I am checking files in since they will not affect
any other platforms.
Binh-Minh and Bill,
could you please take a look since I made minimum changes
just to make it to work. I am not sure that everything is correct
even if it works.
Thanks!

Bug Fix
Description:
Quincey discovered that the new compiler on SOL needs the
-features=tmplife flag. However, this flag is only available for
version 5.3 of the compiler (and up, we're assuming).
Solution:
Add this flag only if the version of the compiler is 5.3 or greater.
Platforms tested:
Sol and Arabica (only affects solaris machines)
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
If $CXX is not defined, configure will try a list of possible
C++ compiler name. That is not always desireable.
Solution:

Description:
Missing methods to read/write C++ String for an attribute and
a dataset.
Solution:
Added overloaded functions read and write to H5::Attribute and
H5::DataSet.
Also, added another constructor StrType so the need to separately
set the length of the string type can be eliminated. It's minor
but convenient.
Made some minor changes to make error messages more readable.

Misc. update:
Code Cleanup
Description:
Warning messages were being produced by the "make" program because
the "docdir" was being specified twice as a target in the generated
Makefiles. This is because the "EXAMPLESDIR" was also defined as
"docdir".
Solution:
Made "EXAMPLESDIR" unique for C, Fortran, and C++ in the commence.in
file and removed EXAMPLESDIR from the Makefile.ins
Platforms tested:
Dangermouse (only affects make system, not code).
Misc. update:

Platforms tested: Done on arabica
Misc. update:
Bug fix and feature
Description:
The patch to Makefile.in failed if an empty directory of fortran/examples
was left behind by a previous build.
Solution:
Attempted to put it in config/conclude.in just became a mess since
it is hard to predict when we will include examples in the subdirs
or not.
Borrow the structure of install-examples and do some handcode per
interface. The Makefile.in of each interface (C, Fortran, C++)
controls everything. Not very systematic but pretty clean for this
case.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Also tested in modi4 with various combinations of fortran, c++
enabled.
Misc. update:
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.

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...

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.

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:

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

DLL accommodation
Description:
In the inline constructor below:
DSetCreatPropList() : PropList( H5P_DATASET_CREATE) {}
H5P_DATASET_CREATE causes the famous "unresolved symbol" error
when building the Release version of dsets_cpp with DLL.
H5P_DATASET_CREATE uses H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_g, which is
imported from hdf5dll. The inline constructor used in dsets.cpp
causes the use of H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_g, which is then
considered undefined because dsets_cppdll is not using hdf5dll.
This only occurs in the Release version because the Debug build
disables inline.
Solution:
Made the affected constructor not inlined, i.e., its implementation
went in the cpp file.
Note that this problem does not occur in 1.4 branch because
H5P_DATASET_CREATE was defined differently, i.e., did not involve
external storage.

Purpose:
Adding support for dll
Description:
Added __DLLCPP__ to all public classes and templates.
Added #include "H5Include.h" to H5RefCounter.cpp because of the
use of DLLCPP in .h file and it needs the following chain:
H5Include.h/hdf5.h/H5public.h/H5api_adpt.h
Added #pragma warning(disable: 4251) to H5Exception.h to eliminate
this warning on private data members of type 'string.' This
occurs because 'string' is not yet instantiated at compilation
time; however, since the class is exported, the warning is
harmless.
Changed this member function's parameter to be passed as reference.

Purpose:
Fix fix
Description:
Moved Binh-Minh's fix of the lack of support for C++ in libtool by
adding the DEFAULT_LIBS macro into the configure.in and
config/commence.in files.
Solution:
Put it into the configure.in and commence.in files. Reran autoconf.
Purpose:
Improvement
Description:
Using LIBS for c++ default library resulted in the library showed up
in two many places.
Solution:
Added new macro DEFAULT_LIBS to specify default library for the
C++ API tests
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
Added platform support
Description:
The current libtool doesn't fully support C++ yet, so until it
does, the default libraries have to be manually specify.

Solution:
Added DEFAULT_LIBS=@DEFAULT_LIBS@ to use new macro for default library.
Added $(DEFAULT_LIBS) to link lines.
Removed inappropriate comments.

Purpose:
Adding new supported platform
Description:
Added this config file for modi4. Note that, when libtool v1.5
is released and we start using it, the default library libCio can
and should be removed from LIBS. It is there now because previous
versions of libtool do not fully support c++ yet and default
libraries must be manually added to the link line.

Purpose:
Feature Rollback
Description:
Shared C++ libraries aren't working on all platforms (read: Arabica).
We need to switch to the old method until we can sort this out.
Solution:
Re-add the "-static" flag to the library creation lines.
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
There were weird "throw()"s which were being placed into the
configure script. Some C++ compilers were barfing on this syntax
(which was akin to "extern int exit(int) throw ();" wonder why?).
Solution:
Ran a different autoconf on the configure file which I'd downloaded
from ftp.gnu.org. It doesn't have those "throw()"s anymore
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Shared libraries weren't being built for C++.
Solution:
Removed the -static flag from the libtool compile line. This allows
both shared and static libraries to be built instead of just static
ones. After talking with Quincey and Binh-Minh, there shouldn't be
any reason for C++ to be built static only.

Code cleanup
Description:
Property that H5P(g|s)et_hyper_cache uses is no longer in use inside the
library.
Solution:
Removed H5P(g|s)et_hyper_cache API functions, except when backward
compatibility is turned on. When backward compatibility is turned on,
the property is defined by the library, but unused internally.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (sleipnir)
Backward Compatibility Fix
Description:
One of H5P[gs]et_buffer's parameters changed between v1.4 and the
development branch.
Solution:
Added v1.4 compat stuff around H5P[gs]et_buffer implementation and testing
to allow v1.4.x users to continue to use their source code without
modification.
These changes are for everything except the FORTRAN wrappers - I spoke with
Elena and she will make the FORTRAN wrapper changes.

Purpose:
Fixing found bug
Description:
A data file cannot be removed because the corresponding H5File object
is still in existence, which means the data file is still opened.

will go out of scope and be destroyed before h5_cleanup attempts to
remove the corresponding data file.

Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.

Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered
vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit
platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned
int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and
unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to
16-bit architectures.
Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users
who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source
module (like Kent's h4toh5 library).
Solution:
Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New Features!
Description:
Start migrating the internal use of property lists in the library from the
older implementation to the new generic property lists.
Currently, only the dataset transfer property lists are migrated to the
new architecture, all the rest of the property list types are still using
the older architecture.
Also, the backward compatibility features are not implemented yet, so
applications which use dataset transfer properties may need to make the
following changes:
H5Pcreate(H5P_DATASET_XFER) -> H5Pcreate_list(H5P_DATASET_XFER_NEW)
and
H5Pclose(<a dataset transfer property list>) -> H5Pclose_list(id)
This still may have some bugs in it, especially with Fortran, but I should
be wrapping up those later today.

Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match
anything and cause problems since it would then overwrite the
beginning of the header file's path.
Solution:
Wrote a Perl script which can handle this type of weirdness better.
It's only used when the environment is a GNU one with a GCC
compiler...
