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: 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)
The custom rules for installing h5cc, h5fc, and the fortran modules in fortran
and in hl/fortran don't use $(DESTDIR). Added it to all those rules.
Tested: kagiso both serial and parallel with fortran and cxx enabled.
Tested by:
make install
make DESTDIR=/tmp/acheng install
diff -r /tmp/acheng/.../hdf5 hdf5
1. Fixed segmentation fault in print_group_info()
2. Call print_statistics() in main() when objects/links are successfully traversed;
otherwise, return warning message.
line, and those below, will be ignored--

The TEXTFPE was described in the usage (read floats in scientific notation) but was not implemeneted.
Solution:

Description:
This commit is a major update to the Windows-maintained H5pubconf.h file. This file is statically-distributed because Windows cannot generate it dynamically as other platforms do. Previously, our Windows version contained a minimal subset of the macro definitions required. To update, I've gone through each macro (based on kagiso's output), and tested for the correct value on Windows. This allows us to better target code based on feature flags. It should also be easier to update in the future as changes are made to the configure script.
This commit also contains one small bug fix in h5ls.c. Some Windows-specific code was missing a local variable definition. The bug went unnoticed because Windows didn't define the feature flag correctly.
I've also made changes to the h5vers script. Whenever the version string is incremented (automatically by h5test after a snapshot), the strings in H5pubconf.h will also be updated.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP (32- and 64-bit)
VS.NET on WinXP 32-bit
h5vers tested under Cygwin
Summary: when using h5diff to compare the results of h5repack (or other tools that copy one HDF5 file to another), a new option is needed to allow h5diff to make an "absolute" comparison of the 2 files. This is the "contents" mode explained in the usage below.
If this mode is present, objects in both files must match (must be exactly the same). If this does not happen, the tool returns an error code of 1 (instead of the success code of 0)
Changes to the h5repack test script: the call to h5diff was changed to include -c (maintaining the previous -q).
tested: windows, linux, solaris
the parsing of the command line strings for the shared object header message type was not being done correctly (strcmp)
fix: substituted by strncmp
tested: windows, linux
The name of the files are now given by its full name relative to $srcdir
To avoid the printing of the complete full path of the test file, that hides
all the other parameters for long paths, the printing of the command line
is done first in TESTING with the name only of the test file, not its full path
the printing in the expected output that had the file name was removed as well as 3 tests that tested error messages in which the file name was present
tested: linux (in 2 different build directories relative to $srcdir), solaris
for now, the test script just calls the tool binary with the command line parameters, with no special
checking of the accuracy of the output contents (jpeg files)
tested: linux
for now, just added "-ljpeg" to the list of libraries, until a permanent solution is added to configure --with-jpeg= that would allow users to specify their own jpeg libary
tested: linux (kagiso, that has a jpeg library installed)
Description:
As part of our Windows cleanup, we try to remove windows-specific tweaks in the source code. There are many instances where Windows code is introduces via ifdef's. We re-evaluate whether they are still required, and found that many of them are not. Others we change to "feature"-specific code, rather than Windows-specific.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
VS.NET on WinXP
h5committest (kagisopp, smirom, linew)
Description:
In library code, we try not to use system calls directly, but instead use the HD{function} macro instead. This way, we can map special versions of the call on particular systems. Previously, it was all done in H5private.h. However, in an effort to clean up platform-specific definitions, we move all of the Windows macros into a separate file, win32defs.h. This way, we can use the non-Posix versions that Visual Studio sends warnings about.
Some macros are set specifically in the platform-specific header files. Then, any macros left unset will be set by the "default" implementation in H5private.h.
This checkin also cleans up various source files to use the HD* macros when possible.

bug fixes.
Description:
Added code to create an empty hdf5 (named h5diff_empty.h5) in order to test
if h5diff compares correctly an empty hdf5 vs. a non-empty one.
Tested:
Tested in kagiso of h5diffgentest itself.
Verified by h5dump that h5diff_empty.h5 was indeed empty.
Then "h5diff h5diff_empty.h5 h5diff_basic1.h5" returned 0 (should have
returned non-zero).
if these are detected this syntax is used, otherwise the one in usage is used
there was another -i option for
-i L2, --indexed=L2 Minimum number of links in the indexed format
That was changed to -d
-d L2, --indexed=L2 Minimum number of links in the indexed format
Tested: windows, linux
Description:
The fortran Makefile.am used HDF_FORTRAN to indicate it is part of the
Fortran API source so that conclude.am will give fortran api prefix in the
test output. The symbox HDF_FORTRAN is also used in configure for a different
purpose (indicated --enable-fortran). They conflicted.
Similar problem for the symbol HDF_CXX.
Solution:
Changed all the involved Makefile.am to use "FORTRAN_API" instead. It is
a more appropriate name. Same for CXX_API.
Along the way, discovered that the Makefile.am of hl/fortran/test and
hl/cxx/test did not have those symbols at all. Added them in.
Platform tested:
Kagiso only. It is a trivia change.
Improvement.
Description:
src/libhdf5.settings was the initial configure summary and is installed.
Then configure is changed to dump a summary of the configure settings to
the output and also append it to src/libhdf5.settings. That created
two different output formats and duplicated information. This is the
initial attempt to clean up this confusion and unify the output format.
It is decided to use the src/libhdf5.settings template as the unified means.
This requires more macros symbols be defined. The following symbols are
all related to generating the src/libhdf5.settings file.
AC_SUBST(EXTERNAL_FILTERS)
AC_SUBST(MPE) MPE=no
AC_SUBST(STATIC_EXEC) STATIC_EXEC=no
AC_SUBST(HDF_FORTRAN) HDF_FORTRAN=no
AC_SUBST(FC) HDF_FORTRAN=no
AC_SUBST(HDF_CXX) HDF_CXX=no
AC_SUBST(CXX) HDF_CXX=no
AC_SUBST(HDF5_HL) HDF5_HL=yes
AC_SUBST(GPFS) GPFS=no
AC_SUBST(LINUX_LFS) LINUX_LFS=no
AC_SUBST(INSTRUMENT) INSTRUMENT=no
AC_SUBST(CODESTACK) CODESTACK=no
AC_SUBST(HAVE_DMALLOC) HAVE_DMALLOC=no
AC_SUBST(DIRECT_VFD) DIRECT_VFD=no
AC_SUBST(THREADSAFE) THREADSAFE=no
AC_SUBST(STATIC_SHARED)
AC_SUBST(enable_shared)
AC_SUBST(enable_static)
AC_SUBST(UNAME_INFO) UNAME_INFO=`uname -a`
The src/libhdf5.settings.in has CONDITIONAL's added to it too. The
untrue conditions turned into a "#" and these lines are cleaned by the
post processing script.
Platform tested:
h5committest on kagiso, smirom and linew.
The previous printing of
LINKCLASS 64
was removed

DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 6 ) / ( 6 ) }
DATA {
(0): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
}
}
}
}
}
There is no script test for this behavior so far, because test script uses complete paths that vary from test to test, making not possible to define a valid TARGETFILE in the file
tested: windows, linux, solaris
Usage is
-m T, --format=T
Where T - is a string containing the floating point format, e.g '%.3f'
The test consists of writing a number with 7 fractional digits (default precision display of %f is 6 digits) and have the 7 digits displayed with
-m %.7f fpformat.h5
Tested: windows, linux, solaris
Note: the output file was generated in linux, it may be possible that platforms other than the ones tested have a different representation of the number
Description: Applying update to autotools that was applied to 1.8 a couple
of weeks ago to the trunk.
Updated bin/reconfigure script to reflect the new versions of
libtool and automake in the /home1/packages/ directory.
Rearranged configure.in script. When using libtool 2.2.2, the
libtool script doesn't generate until later in the configuration
process, so I had to move a test that parsed through the libtool
script to a point after where it was actually being generated.
Ran libtoolize on the project, and ran bin/reconfigure to
regenerate configure and Makefile.in's throughout.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew (h5committest)

bug fix: the 1.6 branch did not have a test for the existence of long double type on print_type (print name of datatype)
tested: windows, linux
2. H5HFstat.c: Since H5HF_space_size() zeroed out fs_size, add "meta_size" to store
free-space size before adding to "heap_size".
3. h5stat_gentest.c: increase # of groups to get "h5stat_newgrat.h5" that contains
indirect block entries in fractal heap.
This is for testing the recursive part of the code in H5HF_man_iblock_size().
4. h5stat_newgrat.h5: the new .h5 file generated by h5stat_gentest.c.
5. h5stat_newgrat.ddl: expected output from new "h5stat_newgrat.h5".
renamed the h5import test files to have the extensions
text input files = .txt
binary input files = .bin
configuration files = .conf
hdf5 files = .h5
besides that in very test the files have the same name except extension.
For example
TOOLTEST txtin16.txt -c $srcdir/testfiles/txtin16.conf -o txtin16.h5
The convention for the test name is for example, for "txtin16"
"txt" for text then "in16" means integer 16 size
Tested: linux, solaris
Description: IRIX64 failed to build tools/h5import, as well as c++/test
with szip. This is because IRIX is very picky when it comes
to linking libraries, and must be done in specific order.
(other UNIXes are not as such, and thus the problem wasn't
present).
Solution: Rearrange the order in which the libraries are
linked on the compiler line by sorting the line that
assigns libraries into the LDADD variable in the Makefile.am's
of the two respective directories.
Tested: IRIX64, kagiso, smirom

* Algorithm
*
* In a inner loop, the parameters from SSET are translated into temporary
* variables so that 1 row is printed at a time (getting the coordinate indices
* at each row).
* We define the stride, count and block to be 1 in the row dimension to achieve
* this and advance until all points are printed.
* An outer loop for cases where dimensionality is greater than 2D is made.
* In each iteration, the 2D block is displayed in the inner loop. The remaining
* slower dimensions above the first 2 are incremented one at a time in the outer loop
*
* The element position is obtained from the matrix according to:
* Given an index I(z,y,x) its position from the beginning of an array
* of sizes A(size_z, size_y,size_x) is given by
* Position of I(z,y,x) = index_z * size_y * size_x
* + index_y * size_x
* + index_x

Add work-around to allow reading files that were produced with a buggy
earlier version of the library, which could create objects with the wrong
object header message count. There is now a configure flag
"--enable-strict-format-checks" which triggers a failure on reading a file
with this sort of corruption (when enabled) and allows the object to be read
(when disabled). The default value for the "strict-format-checks" flag is
yes when the "debug" flag is enabled and no when the "debug" flag is disabled.
Note that if strict format checks are disabled (allowing objects with
this particular kind of corruption to be read) and the file is opened with
write access, the library will re-write the object header for the corrupt
object with the correct # of object header messages.
This closes bugzilla bug #1010.

Following the new feature of h5repack to allow multiple filters for all datasets and the new function has_filters that checks if the repacked file has all the filters requested, I added a new function
has_filters_obj
that does the same for each dataset. The previous function that checked this only ckecked if the user input filters were in the output dataset. This new function does this but checks if the filters are exactly the same. Currently the behavior of h5repack is to delete all filters that are present in the input file (dataset) and replace them with the requested ones, so they must match exactly.
We might consider adding other logical operations, like keep the existing ones.
Additionally , the function also checks if the filter parameters match.
While doing this I noticed that for the shuffle filter , the values returned do not match and also the same for the N-bit and scale-offset
The new function that checks for the filter values fails then, and so I commented the h5repack tests that do this for the N-bit and scale-offset filter (previously for the same bug on the shuffle filter I added special code on the compare filter function but this is temporary until I find the issue)
tested: windows, linux, solaris
