Description:
In some situations it was possible for the fill value to not be written to parts
of a chunked dataset, particularly when extending and/or shrinking. Prior to
the fix for the chunk cache (1015) these bugs would have been exceedingly rare.
Tested: jam, smirom, linew (h5committest)
Description:
The meaning of the "nbytes" field in H5D_rdcc_t was not clear, and some places
assumed it was the maximum size of the chunk cache, while some assumed it was
the current size of the chunk cache. The end result was that only 1 chunk could
be held in cache at a time. This field has been replaced by "nbytes_max" and
"nbytes_used". Performance of cached I/O should improve greatly.

file handles.
Description:
An attribute's "oloc" field which specifies the file it resides in was located
in the attribute's "shared" structure. So when an attribute was opened multiple
times all of the handles for that attribute pointed to the same file id, even if
different file id's were used to open the different handles for the attribute.
The "oloc" has been moved to the top level H5A_t struct.
Tested: jam, smirom (h5committest)
Description:
Since the new object header format, it has been possible for a situation to be
created where none of the messages are large enough to hold a continuation
message and there are no null messages to merge with. This makes it impossible
to add a new object header chunk. This case will now be handled by moving every
message in the last chunk to the newly allocated one, except for null messages
which are deleted.
Tested: jam, smirom (h5committest)
Description:
When an attribute was created with a datatype or dataspace that was shared in
the same object header that the attribute was in, the attribute could not be
deleted. Changes made to ensure that the attribute can be deleted both when the
attribute is in the object header and when it is shared in the heap. Object
header message decode routines now take an "open_oh" parameter to enable them to
avoid opening the same object header twice.
Tested: jam, smirom (h5committest)
Description:
Attribute object copy routines have been moved from H5Oattr.c to H5Aint.c.
These routines are now shared between compact and densely stored attributes.
New routines written to support the copying of dense attributes. This patch wasmostly written by Peter Cao.
Tested: jam, smirom (h5committest)
Description: When attempting to copy an object with a message shared in its own
object header, the library attempts to protect the same object header twice.
Previously, it was possible for the object header to be protected with write
access in one or both of these protects, which would be illegal. The library
should now always protect with read only access in this case. The conditions
for fixing incorrect datatype versions have been made weaker to support this
change. The version will only be corrected if the object header the datatype
is in is modified.
Tested: jam, smirom (h5committest)
Description: H5Tset_order will now properly reject H5T_ORDER_NONE for most
datatypes. Previously this could cause major problems as the file could not be
flushed.
Tested: jam, smirom (h5committest)
Description:
If a compound type was packed except for some extra space at the end, H5Tpack
would not modify the type and the extra space would remain. Changed
H5T_is_packed to fix this behaviour.
Tested: jam, smirom (h5committest - linew down)
Adding code to maintain a min_clean_fraction in the cache in serial mode.
Description:
The metadata cache now has the ability to maintain a min_clean_fraction
when in serial mode. The default initial cache size has been changed
from 1MB to 2MB, and the default min_clean_fraction has been set at 30%.
This check-in includes modifications to H5C.c to support maintaining a
min_clean_size, including the addition of clean_index_size and
dirty_index_size trackers, modifications to the H5C_make_space_in_cache
algorithm, as well as associated test code and additional statistics
tracking variables.
Maintaining the min_clean_fraction addresses the possibility of
experiencing a "metadata blizzard" when the cache gets completely
full with dirty entries. Upon having to make space, the cache would
previously need to flush every single entry in the cache before coming
across a clean entry which could be evicted. This resulted in unnecessary
flushing of oftentimes hot entries in the cache. Maintaining the
min_clean_fraction ensures that, when space is needed, clean entries
are more readily available to evict.

- h5repack: When user doesn't specify a chunk size, h5repack now defines a default
chunk size as the same size of the size of the hyperslab used to read the chunks.
The size of the hyperslabs are defined as the size of each dimension or a
predefined constant, whatever is smaller. This assures that the chunk
read fits in the chunk cache. (PVN - 2008/11/21)
- H5Dset_extent: when shrinking dimensions, some chunks were not deleted.
(PVN - 2009/01/8)
Description: Added H5Pset/get_elink_cb to allow the user to specify a callback
function to be called whenever an external link is traversed. Added
H5Pset/get_elink_acc_flags to allow the user to specify the file access flags
to use to open the target file of an external link. All these properties are set on a LAPL.
Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Bug Fix
Description:
Resolved issues with broken sanity checks that were failing when the 'b2'
debugging package was enabled (v2 b-tree debugging):
- Fixed outdated assertions that would not compile. They now compile
and function correctly.
- Removed too far outdated assertions that would require too much
unnecessary refactoring of code in order to satisfy their
initial purpose.
- Re-enabled b2 debugging package when "--enable-debug=all" is
specified on the configure line.
Tested:
jam, smirom, linew
Description: Fixes a problem in H5F_close_mounts where it wouldn't correctly
reshape the "child" array when unmounting files. Test added for this case.
Also fixed a potential bug in H5F_unmount where that routine reshapes the child
array.
Tested: kagiso linew smirom (h5committest)
Description: H5Iis_valid function added. This function checks if the id is
valid (i.e. it is currently registered and visible to the application), and
returns TRUE if it is valid, or FALSE otherwise. It should never return an
error.
Tested: kagiso, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Description: H5Ovisit and H5Ovisit by name will now check for a positive return
value from the first callback. Test added for this case.
Tested: kagiso
Description:
In June, we discovered a bug in Windows which only affected specific timezones with the mtime test. This bug was promptly fixed, but never documented. This checkin adds a note to the release document.
Description:
- Remove need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using shared szip library.
- Libtool 2.2.6a is now used to generate libraries.
- 'make check install' dependency bug is fixed, and should no longer
break the build.
- removed hard coding of shell in config/commence.am, as this causes
problems on Solaris with the new version of libtool.
- RELEASE.txt with appropriate changes.
Tested:
- kagiso, smirom, linew (merged from 1.8, pretty quick tests)
Description: Added a new function, H5O_alloc_shrink_chunk, which removes all
null messages from a chunk and shrinks the chunk appropriately. Modified
H5O_merge_null to call this function when a null message is created with a size
>= 64k. Tests added for this functionality.
Tested: kagiso (h5committest on 1.8 version)
Description: Improved external link traversal of h5dump. h5dump will now
properly avoid all cycles, even those spanning multiple files. Improvement
to the output of committed datatypes. Committed datatypes are now checked
for uniqueness (like other objects). Tests added for these cases.
Tested: kagiso, linew, smirom (h5committest)
