New feature: implementation of h5import conversion of an ASCII plain-text file containing text data
The string type H5T_C_S1 is used to define the data (the datum is defined here as one line of text in the text file). The size is set to variable length (H5T_VARIABLE)
The space used is a 1D array with as many elements as there are lines in the ASCII file (a line is defined by the inclusion of an end of line character, ASCII number 10). A first traversal of the input text file must be made to determine the number of lines in the file and thus the dimensionality of the dataset.
New test to the test script added
text input files and teststr.h5 for h5dump to compare added
Tested: windows, linux, solaris
Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
Code cleanup
Description:
Check in some of the code cleanups from working on the external link
support. (This doesn't include any of the external link features)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OSX.4 (amazon)
Linux 2.4
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches
difficult.
Solution:
Ran this script in each directory:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Code Improvement
Description:
Changed from passing a structure into a function by value into
passing it in by pointer. Noticed this while compiling with a highly
optimizing compiler which took >30 minutes to analyze the program
(granted, this is the compiler's fault, but in general, it's better
to pass large structures in by pointer and not by value).
Platforms tested:
Linux (specific to h5import, so only needed to test on one platform)
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:
