New feature & code cleanup
Description:
Update fractal heap to be able to insert objects into a direct block
hanging off the header.
Extract "octal dump" code into separate routine so that both the local
heaps & fractal heaps can use it.
Other code cleanups & support to get this far.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Moved gif2h5 tool to hl directory
Description:
Added a tools directory under the hl directory and moved the gif2h5 tool
to that directory.
Solution:
The gif2h5 tool was originally built in the tools directory, but this
introduced dependency issues that required special checks in the
Makefiles.am and required the top-level build order to be changed
because it depended on the HL library.
For simplicity in the Makefiles now and in the future, the gif2h5 tool
was moved to be underneath the hl library.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper, modi4, shanti
Added HL examples
Description:
Examples existed for the HL lite, image, and table interfaces, but
were never included in the distro... until now!
Solution:
Added source files to CVS, updated Makefile and MANIFEST.
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, shanti
Incrementtal checkin
Description:
Revise & update v2 B-tree code to separate the internal package-specific
routines from the library-callable "private" routines.
Similar updates for the fractal heap code.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OSX (amazon)
New feature
Description:
Check in initial "fractal heap" code, for supporting the group redesign.
Also, remove some remnants of the segmented heap/block tracker/B+tree code
which I didn't find during the last pass.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OSX (amazon)
Linux 2.4
Maintenance
Description:
Remove half-built (half-baked? :-) implementation of B+tree, block tracker
and segmented heaps. (In preparation for starting the new heap coding)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (heping)
1) Add parallel test for metadata cache
2) Split serial test for metadata cache into two parts
3) Fix bug in which cache was flushed needlessly when the
cache wasn't full.
4) Performance improvements
Description:
See above.
Solution:
See above.
Platforms tested:
h5committest
Misc. update:
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
Description: Renamed lex.yy.c to H5LTanalyze.c, y.tab.c to H5LTparse.c, and
y.tab.h to H5LTparse.h in hl/src. Changed definition of opaque type to ommit the tag.
Changed the test for opaque type in hl/test, too.
Platforms tested: h5committest, fuss, and sleipnir.
Misc. update: MANIFEST
Bug fix
Description:
Fogot to commit file config/examples.am in previous checkin.
Solution:
The examples.am file contains common Makefile rules for the example
directories.
Added high-level example directories
Description:
Refactored common code out of examples Makefiles.am, added high-level
example directories, added packet table examples.
Solution:
Examples now draw from a common config/examples.am file, which
contains rules for installing, uninstalling, and cleaning examples.
High-level example directories are mostly empty, except for the
C and C++ packet table tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, copper, shanti
New feature
Description:
Add in a combination of Peter's & my code to support copying
variable-length data from one file to another, although currently only
supported with contiguous data storage.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up
to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created
with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not
be able to read your old files!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
New feature
Description:
Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API
routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable-
length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested
on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working
correctly.
I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to
keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them
before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committested
Bug fix.
Description:
The previous way of detecting the MPICH version fails if the suspected
$CC does not give the expected MPICH version information. Though no
consequence, it generates error messages that alarm users.
Also, mpich2 gives the version information as if it were mpich v1.0.2
which was incorrectly included as an earlier version of the origianl
mpich.
Solution:
Implemented a more robust code to detect the version and narrow the
recognition down to v1.2.0-v1.2.5. Also, the code were duplicated in
two files (linux-gnulibc1 and ia64-linux-gnu). Combined them into a
new file called mpich.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping using mpicc and mpich2/mpicc and also in tg-ncsa.
Misc. update:
Updated MANIFEST.
new h5diff test
Description:
added a test to the test h5diff script that compares a file to itself.
this test is done to test some features of the library that
open the same file and the root group twice

Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Changed the name of a file from the last fix.
createnoenc.c is not gen_noencoder.c
Solution:
This is just a more standard name for the file.
Platforms tested:
tested in previous check-in; forgot to commit to cvs.
Code cleanup/reorganization
Description:
Merge back some more changes extracted from the "compact group" set.
This bunch cleans up and prepares the H5G_* routines for eventual import of
new features.
