Purpose:
HDFFV-8003 - ph5diff (parallel h5diff): daily test failure on ember intermittently during non comparable test file comparison
HDFFV-7755 - parallel h5diff : hanging on koala intermittently during non comparable test file comparison
Description:
non-comparable test intermittently hung on koala and ember, but not on jam. it didn't occur until -np reaches 4 or bigger. it occurred once out of many repeated attempts of the same test.
There was a incorrectly (mistakenly?) duplicated code in MPI section which caused such hang in a certain condition. The test used more processes than other tests, which increased chance to trigger more undone processes, and such process could enter the incorrect code section and wait for wrong pair of send. it explains why it occurred intermittently according to machine condition and using a certain feature.
Removed incorrect code which blocked correct code.
Tested: some manually repeated test performed
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE)
Fix for HDFFV-8107 testh5diff will fail if build/test in HDF5 source tree
Description:
This is sub-task for "HDFFV-8105 testh5diff.sh uses the wrong operator (-a) in an if statement."
From the HDFFV-8105's update, h5diff test failed if build&test is performed in HDF5 source tree because 'cp' try to copy test files to self dir.
It's addressed by skipping if cp's src dir and dest dir is same.
Also this applied for all other tools under src/tools dir.
No change to the CMakeLists.txt files because CMake cautions/demands that in-source builds be avoided.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), some manual tests as well
Description:
When jumping out from between H5_BEGIN_TAG and H5_END_TAG macros using
HGOTO_ERROR or HGOTO_DONE, the previous metadata tag is not reset on the dxpl.
This could cause problems when, for example, calling H5Ocopy within an
H5Literate callback.
Added new HGOTO_ERROR_TAG and HGOTO_DONE_TAG macros which must be used in place
of the above between H5_BEGIN_TAG and H5_END_TAG.
Tested:
jam, koala, ostrich (h5committest), durandal
Description:
The test command in COPY_TESTFILES_TO_TESTDIR used the wrong operator -a which
means and. It is not sufficient to test mere existence as $tstfile could have
been a directory or other non-file things. If the file is not readable, the
$CP command would fail but its return code was not checked.
Solution:
Get rid of the test command and go ahead to $CP it and then check its returned
code and report errors if detected.
Tested; committested. (note that ostrick still failed on errors committed by
other staff).
- Fixed a typo in return value of the nh5dread_f_c function ( was 1
instead of 0 on success); fixed the return value to make it consistent
with other Fortran functions; cleaned the code from debug statements.
Platforms tested: jam with GNU and Intel compilers, fortran 2003 feature.
Fix for HDFFV-7998-h5diff: incorrect behavior and output for comparing symbolic dangling links without following-symlinks option
Description:
Fix not to check and display dangling link status without --follow-symlinks option.
Berfor the fix, when comparing symbolic link to symbolic link without follow-symlinks option, h5diff followed to check if those links are dangling or not. It caused to display output incorrectly (dangling link instead of symbolic link).
The fix also improved performance when comparing lots of symbolic links without the --follow-symlinks option.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
Fix for HDFFV-8001 - h5unjam: segfault when used -V (show version) option
Description:
h5unjam has an option '-V' to display version information.
"h5unjam -V" caused segfulat for 1.8.9 pre-release.
Tested:

could waste memory if any dataset size is smaller than the sieve buffer
size. Now the library picks the smaller one between the dataset size
and the sieve buffer size from the file access property.
Tested on jam, koala, and ostrich.
Fix for HDFFV-7644 GMQS: h5diff - incorrect behaviors when comparing HDF5 files with different type of objects (dataset, group, type) as common objects
Description:
Fixed failure for comparing same named object with different object types in comparing groups. (common object comparison)
Prior to the fix, h5diff resulted in error. After the fix, h5diff detects such case as non-comparable and display messages accordingly.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
Description:
When copying an object with attribute creation order tracked, the attribute
creation order was not copied correctly to the destination file, causing an
error if the creation order was also indexed (due to attempting to insert
duplicate keys) or incorrect creation orders otherwise. Fixed to copy the
creation order correctly.
Also fixed the attribute character set not being copied, and fixed an issue
where an attribute opened with H5Aopen (or similar, but not by_idx), from an
object using the latest format but without creation order being tracked, would
always report the creation order as 0 (and marked as valid).
Tested: jam, koala, ostrich (h5committest), durandal

HDFFV-944: Fortran test problem with HDF5 182, intel 11.0, open-mpi-1.2.8
Description:
Moved libtool post-processing 'ed' snippet that replaces wl=""
with wl="-Wl," when intel compilers are used to the end of the
configure script, after libtool is actually generated. (I imagine
that at some point in time during a libtool version upgrade the
libtool script ceased being generated immediately after the libtool
initialization macro and is generated at the end of configure with
all other files).
Additionally, added a leading 'g' to the replacement invocation to
change all instances of wl="" to wl="-Wl," instead of just the
first that it comes across. (There's a separate one for each
compiler used (C, Fortran, C++)).
Tested:
Reproduced the reported make failure and tested resolution on
NCSA's Forge with OpenMPI built with Intel 12.0.4.
Also, h5committested.
Fix for HDFFV-7837 - h5diff: incorrect behavior with exclude-path option when unique object exist only in one file
Description:
If unique objects exists only in one file and try to exclude
the unique objects with --exclude-path option, h5diff missed
excluding some objects.
Fixed to exclude objects correctly in such case.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
The parser mistaked "-" as substraction. I fixed it and also fixed another problem
with some special cases like 100-x and 2/x.
Tested on jam, koala, and ostrich.
Description:
When using the new object header format, it was possible for corruption to occur
if the first object header chunk changed size such that the lenght of the "chunk
0 size" field changed. This only occurred if there were messages that had not
been decoded. The original algorithm that changed the object header chunk size
marked all messages as dirty, causing those that had not been decoded to have
both the raw and native form invalidated. Changed the algorithm to avoid
marking messages dirty and added assertions to catch the case where messages
are dirtied without being decoded (or recently created) first.
Tested: jam, koala, ostrich (h5committest), durandal
by using an escape character. For example, for a dataset "/dset"
containing attribute "speed(m/h)", use "h5dump -a "/dset/speed(\/h)"
to show the content of the attribute. See details at HDFFV-7523
Fix for HDFFV-7835 h5diff: incorrect result for comparing the two same type symlinks as dangling links.
Description:
When two symbolic dangling links are compared with --follow-symlinks option,
the result should be same. It works for comparing two files, but didn't work
for comparing two objects.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.

Task for HDFFV-7862 - Select data by chunk direction to improve performance in h5repack
Description:
h5repack sometimes became very slow when handling big chunked datasets in
certain cases. (when chunk boundary doesn't match with a hyperslab boundary.)
The main issue was from figuring out a hypeslab without considering chunk
boundary to read from and write to such datasets.
The update was made to figure out a better hyperslab unit with considering
chunk boundary to improve performance for such cases prior to the update.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows
A second problem also discovered was an if statement that should have comapered lengths of a string actually was comapring addreeses. Once thatt was fixed, The "[" character could be used but broke other functionality. Consultation with tools team resulted in the creation of a "--no-subset" option to disable interpretation of "[" character as a subsetting compact-form. This also eliminated and cleaned up the code containing the plomatic if statement.
Tested: local linux and added test, CMake updated autotools test to be added next.
Fix for HDFFV-7836 h5diff: displays error stack message for comparing the two dangling symlink with follow-symlinks option
Description:
While ago, to improve performance, skipping same object checking
(h5tools_is_obj_same()) was added.
However the checking function doesn't understand about the dangling link and
caused the issue.
Since handling dangling link code section already implemented, move the
checking function after handling dangling-links to address the problem.
Test was added and tagged with jira#.

Fix for HDFFV-7840 h5repack: memory leak over one of the h5diff test file
Description:
Turned out that there were two causes of memory leaks.
1. for handling variable length string in attribute.
2. for handling compound type with non-reference members.
The first issue is fixed in copy_attr() which is updated to use h5tools_detect_vlen to take care of vlen string as well as vlen data.
The second is fixed in copy_refs_attr() of compound handling code.

Fix for HDFFV-7838 h5ls: segfault for handling region reference in attribute with -v option
Description:
Segfault occurred when h5ls access region reference data in an attribute.
This didn't occurred when -v option was used.
The cause was "h5tool_format_t info;" struct variable members were accessed
without proper values were assigned (was NULL), so printf failed later in the code.

HDFFV-7770 - h5diff segmentation fault on JPSS files
Description:

Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows, Cmake
Description:
H5Ocopy could get confused when copying a named datatype containing an
attribute which used that named datatype as its datatype. This happened
because H5Ocopy would recurse into the attribute's datatype before the object
the attribute was in was fully copied (i.e. before the "post-copy" pass).
Modified H5Ocopy to avoid recursing before the post-copy step in this case.
Required many changes, including to how non-committed shared messages are
copied.
Tested: jam, koala, heiwa (h5committest); durandal

HDFFV-7693 - h5diff produces different behavior between versions: 1.8.3 and 1.8.6
Description:
There were two issues on this.
One was not displaying all the comparable objects if non-comparable
object/attribute exist and compared before comparables ones. This issue
occurred after 1.8.4 release. This is the issue from user.
The other issue was not displaying all the comparable attributes,
if non-comparable object/attribute exist and compared ahead. This issue
were exist even before 1.8.4 release. So it's possible some attribute
comparison may have not displayed correctly in the past, if non-comparable
data were exist in common object.
Fixed h5diff to display all the comparable object and attribute regardless
of non-comparables.

Purpose:
Remove H5_MPI_SPECIAL_COLLECTIVE_IO_WORKS and
H5_MPI_COMPLEX_DERIVED_DATATYPE_WORKS #defines from source.
Description:
Two advanced parallel functionalities, special collective IO and
complex derived datatypes, are not supported by older
implementations of mpi, and thus our code limits the use of these
features with #ifdefs and has checks in configure to set them (or
not). Unfortunately, configure can't actually run a parallel check
to see if these features are working (nor not) so it resorts to
looking in the config files where they are explicity enabled or
disabled based on versions of mpi, sytems being built on, or for
no documented reason at all (i.e. just set to on or off as some
'default'). Overriding these settings is easy if need be, provided
it is known that it needs to be done to get improved performance,
and oftentimes it is not.
Most new MPI implementations successfully handle the functionality
requested when these #defines are set, and many of the "turn these
features off" cases in the config files are for old (> 5 years)
versions of MPI and retired systems (such as NCSA's tungsten).
Therefore, the decision has been made to remove the support for
these old versions of MPI and systems that cannot handle these
behaviors. The #ifdefs and supporting setup in the config/ files
and configure script has been removed, and the code executed when
these options were not set removed from the source.
In passing, this commit also cleans up some whitespace issues in
both t_mpi.c and H5Dmpio.c. Furthermore, in t_mpi.c, the special
collective IO test was not getting regularly run due to it being
written to work only with four processes (we regularly test with
six, previously with three), and thus it failed when actually run
due to an out of bounds data buffer assignment. It has been
modified to run at any number of processes greater than four, and
the memory problem has been fixed so the test passes.

super block. We took it out in v1.8 library because it's meaningless
for the MULTI file. v1.8 library saves the EOA for the metadata file,
instead. But this caused some backward compatibility problem.
v1.8 library couldn't open the file created with v1.6 library. I
fixed the problem by checking the EOA value to detect the file
created with v1.6 library.
Tested on jam, koala, and heiwa.
HDFFV-5878 - GMQS: h5dump - incorrect output format for array type with multiple elements in an index

Add "silent make" mode configure option.
Description:
Automake 1.11 has a new option available that allows for a
silent make mode. This functionality needs to be explicitly
enabled in configure.in via the use of the automake macro
AM_SILENT_RULES, which is what this commit is adding.
This introduces a new configure option:
--{en|dis}able-silent-rules
This option is on by default, and simplies compile and link
line outputs when building the library. Disabling this option
will print full "verbose" output (i.e., full compile and
linking lines for each target).
Tested:
This was tested on jam & h5committested

- Revise shared Fortran library disabling scenarios in configure
- Improve configure output summary
Description:
Shared Fortran libraries are not supported on Mac, but were being
disabled by configure in a way that also forced the C libraries
to be static-only. This has been fixed, so now only shared Fortran
is disabled while shared C can remain.
This prompted two additional changes:
1. While working on the check that addresses whether or not
shared Fortran libraries are allowed, removed old and no
longer needed check(s) that disable shared Fortran
libraries with HP, Intel 8, PGI, and Absoft compilers.
(Essentially, Mac is the only situation in which Fortran
shared are disabled by configure.)
2. Having two different states of libraries (i.e. shared C
library with static-only Fortran library) was not apparent
in the configure summary, which labeled all libraries as
either shared and/or static. I've added lines to both the
C++ and Fortran output sections to list shared/static-ness
of these libraries specifically.
Additionally, I've made sure that the new --enable-unsupported
configure option correctly overrides configure if it tries to
disable a shared library.

For testing, several compound datasets were added with various combinations.
Previous failed cases:
- Vlen string, Fixed length string, Vlen string, Fixed length string
- Fixed length string, Fixed length string, Vlen string, Vlen string
- Fixed length string, Vlen string, Fixed length string, Vlen string

Add "--enable-unsupported" configure flag.
Description
The "--enable-unsupported" configure flag allows a user to
prevent configure from failing due to the use of incompatible
options, such as c++ with parallel.
Specifying --enable-unsupported will bypass all of configure's
checks for incompatible and unsupported combinations of flags.
There are no guarantees that the library will be configured
in any sort of working condition, but that's the risk of
using the --enable-unsupported flag.
I've changed all default error messages related to unsupported
option combinations to indicate that using --enable-unsupported
will allow configure to complete without error.
Tested:
by hand on jam, tested all unsupported configure option
combinations with and without the new flag, making sure
the flag allows configure to finish without error.
(h5committest wouldn't do any good here; it won't test
the new option, and since we're enabling unsupported
combinations, failures are likely to occur in build or
tests with --enable-unsupported turned on anyways.
That's why they're unsupported!)
Add additional error checking to catch erroneous user input.
Description:
Attempting to retrieve a links's name by index in the case
where the link is external and the file that the object is
located in doesn't exist was causing a segmentation fault
(in production) and an assertion failure (in debug).
The segfault wasn't occuring until the metadata accumulator
attempted a write, so I've added error checking higher in
the pipeline in H5O_protect (where there was previously just
an assert) to catch this. I've also added additional asserts
in the H5F layer where there were none.
Additionally, I added another case to the links.c test to
test that this fails gracefully instead of segfaulting or
asserting out.
Tested:
h5committest and gandalf (mac os x)
Improve h5diff performance.
Description:
The following changes for improving h5diff performance:
1) use HDmemcmp() before comparing each elements
(memcmp() is very fast at both linew and jam)
2) replace the expensive H5Tequals() calls
3) retrieve datatype information at dataset level not each element level
for compound datasets
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE)
Fixed Bug# 1979 Output from h5ls -rdlS on nested compound datatypes is
difficult to parse.
Description:
Update to add curly brackets for the nested compound members, when
S (--simple) option is used with -l (--label), so user can tell
which members blong to which compound type.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32)
Fixed h5diff to handle variable-length strings in a compound dataset
correctly. Also variable-length string array in a compound dataset.
Bug #1989.
Description:
Garbage values were displayed when h5diff compared variable-length
strings (or string array) in a compound type dataset.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (Mac32)
Fix for bug# 2040 - h5copy should fail gracefully for expected failure copying to non-exist nested group without -p option.

unknown versions of the C Intel compilers.
Modified apple config file to display Intel compiler information.
Updated RELEASE.txt notes accordingly.
Platfroms tested: jam, amani and dubna (Mac 64-bit) with Intel C, Fortran and C++ compilers.
Bug 1707 is that H5Eset_auto causes a seg fault when an application uses -DH5_USE_16_API with
the 1.8 library to compile.
I created a branch off the trunk called set_auto to continue working on the problem.
Tested on jam - backing out, simple.
Description:
Library versions 1.6.3 and earlier contain a bug which causes them to be unable
to perform certain operations on a group if that group's symbol table
information is not cached in the parent group's symbol table. Versions 1.8.0
to 1.8.5 did not cache this information. Modified library to cache this
information.
Tested: jam, amani, heiwa (h5committest)
through H5Eset_auto. I changed the union in the structure H5E_auto_t. Another change is to
make H5Eget_auto fail if H5Eset_auto is called to set the printing function. I'll write a
document for it.
Tested on heiwa, jam, and amani.
The property change in configure.in, config, and Makefile.am came from the merge of the 1.8
library change.
Add --exclude-path option
Description:
Specified path to an object will be excluded from comparing the two files or two groups. If group is specified all the member objects will be excluded.
Related to "1890: h5diff excluding object for file comparison via command line"
Tested:
jam, amani and heiwa
Fix for Bug1975 h5diff - support recursive comparison on group when specified as an object
Description:
Compare member objects and groups recursively when two files or groups are specified to be compared. Support parallel diff and handling symbolic links accordingly.
Tested:
jam, amani, heiwa
Fix for Bug1896 h5repack - changing layout to COMPACT does not work
Description:
Make h5repack be able to convert a layout to COMPACT for small size dataset as default. Also add verifying layout changes in our test script.
Tested:
jam, amani, heiwa
Description:
The fractal heap header structure keeps a pointer to the file associated with
it. However, it is possible for that file pointer to be closed while the
header is still in cache (through the shared file pointer). Previously, the
header's file pointer was not updated and subsequently pointed to an invalid
file structure. Modified fractal heap code to update the file pointer every
time the header is accessed.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
Add windows threads support to HDF5.
Description:
Added calls to the windows threads library to the H5TS layer, and wrapped
most calls to either pthreads or windows threads library with portable
H5TS-style defines. Modified tests to use portable function definitions
as well.
This can be configured via CMake with the HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE
option, and should work on windows vista and later operating systems.
Tested:
h5committest, plus threadsafe with pthreads on jam and amani,
and tested on a Windows Vista VM with threadsafe using windows threads.
H5T_ORDER_MIXED specifically for compound types and its derived types. They report mixed
orders if they have members of different orders.
There is no change to configure.in, config, and Makefile.am in the top directory. They have
some property changes when I merged the code from 1.8.
Tested on jam. I tested the same change for 1.8 with h5committest.
1. For enum type, members shouldn't be defined yet.
2. H5T_ORDER_NONE only works for reference and fixed-length
string.
3. For opaque type, the order will be ignored.
4. For compound type, all restrictions above apply to the
members.
I'll change H5Tget_order and do another commit.
There is no change to configure.in, config, and Makefile.am. There is some property change for
these files when I did a merge from 1.8.
Tested on jam. But I tested the 1.8 on heiwa, and amani.
herr_t. To minimize the change of the library's behavior, in the function
H5Z_prelude_callback of H5Z.c, if the return value of can_apply is FALSE and
the filter is MANDATE, this function returns a FAILURE. If the return value is FALSE
but the filter is OPTIONAL, this function returns a SUCCEED. During the IO, the filter
will fail and return a size of zero. But the pipeline will skip this filter.
Tested the same change for 1.8 on jam, linew, and amani. Tested on jam with szip.
a part of the h4h5tools distribution long time ago, but the INSTALL file
was not updated in the development branch and slipped into 1.8 releases and current trunk.
Description:
In certain circumstances, the direct I/O driver did not perform correctly when
data was unaligned. The driver has been patched to fix this. Also added some
potential performance improvements for the unaligned case, and strengthened the
test for whether the data needs to be aligned.
Tested: cobalt
Description:
A bug introduced in 1.8.5 causes local heap data blocks to be mis-aligned when
sizeof_offsets + 2*sizeof_lengths is not a multiple of 8. In this case, the
address of the data block as stored in the heap prefix is aligned but the actual
data block is not. This causes files created with these sizes to be corrupted,
and prevents uncorrupted files with these sizes to be unreadable. Modified
local heap code to account for alignment.
Tested: jam, amani, linew (h5committest)
Add --no-dangling-links option to h5ls.
Description:
Related to "Bug 1830 - Following an dangling external link in h5ls should set non-zero return code."
If --no-dangling-links option is specified and any dangling link is found, return exit code 1 (error).
Tested:
jam, amani and heiwa
Change h5ls not to manipulate special characters in object name or attribute name for smart display.
Description:
Related to "But1784 h5ls has input and output issues with links that have '\' characters in them."
Tested:
jam, amani and linew
Description:
Previously, the chunk cache would, when looking for a chunk, alwaylook for the
chunk in the b-tree before checking the cache. Reworked the functions that
look up chunks to always check the cache first and avoid the b-tree lookup if
the chunk is in cache.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
PHDF5 changed to use "mpiexec", instead of mpirun, as the default MPI
applications startup command as defined in the MPI-2 definition, section
4.1. Note that only mpich related (using mpicc command) definitions are
changed to mpiexec. Other favors like hcc, AIX, champion, are not changed
since I don't have a way to verify them yet.
Tested:
jam and amani, using both current and new mpich.
Did not h5committested since this affects PHDF5 configure only.
Support follow symbolic links.
Description:
Add '--follow-symlinks' option to follow symbolic links (soft and external).
Update help page according to RM.
Remove some warning messages from compiler.
Tested:
jam, amani and linew
Fixed a bug (1855) in H5DSattach_scale, H5DSis_attached and H5DSdetach_scale
caused by using H5Tget_native_type function to determine the native
type for reading REFERENCE_LIST attribute. The bug was exposed on Mac PPC.
Platforms tested: juniper (Mac PPC), jam, amani, linew
Rename '--follow-links' to '--follow-symlinks'
Description:
The '--follow-links' option is to follow symbolic links (soft and external).
Make the name more intuitive and specific to the feature.
Tested:
jam, amani and linew
Description:
Previously, it was possible for a chunk to be flushed due to chunk operations in
the callback from H5B_iterate in H5D_chunk_prune_by_extent. Because flushing
the chunk can force it to be reallocated if it is filtered, this can change the
contents of the chunk b-tree in the middle of H5B_iterate. Because H5B_iterate
uses a locally cached copy of the b-tree, this causes subsequent operations
to be passed incorrect data. Rewrote H5D_chunk_prune_by_extent to avoid
H5B_iterate entirely.
Also fixed a bug in the dataset expand algorithm that could cause extra chunks
to be created.
Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Fixed a bug in the H5DSdetach_scale function when 0 bytes
were allocated after the last reference to a dim. scale
was removed from the list of references in a VL element of the
DIMENSION_LIST attribute; modified the function to comply
with the Spec: DIMENSION_LIST attribute is deleted now when no
dimension scales left attached.
Platforms tested: jam with electric fence, amani amd linew
Add bug fixes for Tools.
Description:
Added list:
1726 - NPOESS: h5repack loses attributes for datasets of type H5T_REFERENCE
1814 - NPOESS: h5repack doesn't handle references to the groups as an
element of a dataset
1817 - h5copy fail to copy dangling link by specifying link path directly
1793 - h5ls on a non-existent file gives 0 return code
Tested:
no, just text update.
Fix memory leaks
Description
Added a routine to free memory which addresses a memory leak
when variable length strings are used as fill values.
Tested:
h5committest and valgrind (on jam/amani) to confirm freed memory.
Added notes about
+ PropList::PropList(id) pclass id/plist id
+ new DataSet::getInMemDataSize
+ CommonFG::getLinkval and CommonFG::getComment take default values
+ bugzilla 1061
+ read/write methods of DataSet and Attribute
Improve configure's large-file support control.
Description:
Modified configure to now attempt to add defines necessary for
supporting largefiles on all systems, instead of solely on linux. This
is in response to user requests to enable largefile support on Solaris
by default, as well as to give extra control on AIX (instead of just
jamming the necessary flag into the config files).
The old --enable-linux-lfs flag has been removed in favor of the
--enable-largefile flag (enabled by default), which can be used on all
platforms.
On systems where large files cannot be supported in this manner,
configure will report as such.
Tested:
h5committest
AIX (NCSA's blue_print machine)
duty, liberty, and linew.
Autotool Upgrade / Libtool Bug Fix
Description:
Updated autotools referenced in bin/reconfigure as follows:
Autoconf 2.64 --> Autoconf 2.65
Automake 1.11 --> Automake 1.11.1
Libtool 2.2.6a --> Libtool 2.2.6b-mcg
The referenced libtool version is a custom version of 2.2.6b. It
has been tweaked to fix a bug in libtool that occurs
when using PGI 10.0 compilers. A check incorrectly categorizes
the C++ compiler as version 1.0 instead of 10.0, and the link
line is subsequently set up incorrectly and fails to compile.
A patch has been made available and will be included in the next
release of libtool, but in the meantime I've applied the patch to a custom
installation as indicated above. This bin/reconfigure now references
the custom installation, and the resulting configure script will correctly
categorize the PGI 10.0 C++ compiler.
Ran bin/reconfigure to regenerate configure and makefiles.
Tested:
jam and amani with PGI 10.0 compilers.
h5committest
Description:
Attempting to copy an object with NULL references (all bytes zero) with the
H5O_COPY_EXPAND_REFERENCE_FLAG flag set would cause a failure or an assertion
(depending on whether it was in debug mode). Changed copy routine to detect
NULL references (object and region) and avoid attempting to expand the reference
in this case.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
Description:
Modified algorithm for extending a dataset with early allocation so it only
deals with the new chunks. Formerly, it would loop over all chunks, checking
to see if each existed in cache and on disk, causing major performance issues
with large numbers of chunks.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
Description:
The core file driver previously matched files only based on the name used to
open them, even when a backing store is used. This caused problems in the
failing test when it traversed an external link to itself, and did not recognize
that it was the same file. Similar tests in links.c were skipped when the core
file driver was used. The failure was previously masked by inappropriate file
flushes caused by external link traversal. Added code to the core file driver
to keep track of low level file information of the backings store to allow for
accurate recognition of duplicate files. Also re-enabled all links.c tests for
the core file driver.
Tested: Fedora (core and sec2 drivers; no time for full commit test, will
monitor daily tests)
Description:
Support for expanding external links was not implemented in H5Ocopy, even though
a flag existed for H5Pset_copy_object to enable this. This patch implements
this feature.
Tested: jam, amani, linew (h5committest); Fedora
Description:
Previously, the library would reopen the source file when traversing an external
link if unable to find the target file otherwise. This has been corrected.
Also moved the call to H5F_flush from H5F_try_close to H5F_dest, so the file is
only flushed when the last identifier for the file is closed. This prevernts
situations where the library could attempt to flush a file with protected
metadata.
Tested: jam, amani, linew (h5committest); Fedora
bugzilla 1754: h5diff: support comparing through links.
Description:
Fix incorrect (or hanging) behavior in parallel mode when specifying

add --no-dangling-links option.
add test cases (#450-#459) relate to the new option.
improve test script to check exit code.
update --help relate to the new options.
correct some indentations.
Tested:
h5committest (jam, amani and linew)
Description:
In certain cases, removal of an object in a v1 b-tree would cause the leftmost
key in the right neighbor to be overwritten. While this did not pose a problem
for group b-trees, with chunked datasets it would overwrite the offset value
of the neighbor's leftmost child, causing corruption. Reworked the code to
differentiate between b-trees whose children are fundamentally associated with
their left key and those who are associated with their right key.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
Fix Bug1672 - Display garbage value on LE machine for BE data.
Description:
Casuing by calling diff_dataset twice when -r or no option was given.
Change to call it once which fix the problem.
It also improves the performance. (diffing time in half)
According further test, it also occurred on BE machine as well and it
seems occruing only with the BE data attached to Bugzilla.
Don't know how the file was created. Anyway this fix will prevent
from diffing with garbage values in similiar potential case.
Tested on:
linux32 (jam) , linux64 (almani), solaris (linew)
Description:
H5HG_load made improper assumptions about the ordering of object indices, namely
that they are in order. Not only is this not guaranteed by the file format
spec, but this condition can be violated if id's "wrap around" which can happen
when overwriting VL data. H5HG_load has been fixed to handle any order of
indices. Also fixed some other bugs involving allocation of global heaps in
memory.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
Description:
The H5TB API makes some improper assumptions about the order of compound
datatype members. Namely, it assumes that members remain in the order in which
they were inserted. Unfortunately, this assumption is inherent in the design of
the interface. The library has been patched so that this assumption holds in
situations relevant to H5TB.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
CFLAGS overhaul
Description:
Modified the way configure handles CFLAGS.
(note: all changes also apply to FCFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS).
1. The configure process will now always preserve a user's CFLAGS
environment variable setup. Any additional flags necessary for compilation
added at configure time will be passed into the Makefiles as AM_CFLAGS,
which is an automake construct to be used in addition to CFLAGS.
This will allow a user to have the final say, as CFLAGS will always appear
later in the compile line than AM_CFLAGS. Additionally, setting CFLAGS
during make will no longer completely erase all flags set by configure,
since they're maintained in AM_CFLAGS.
2. Additionally, where possible, flags previously being assigned directly
into CFLAGS (and thus propagating into h5cc) have now been redirected into
H5_CFLAGS, so they're used ONLY for compiling hdf5, and not embedded into
the h5cc wrapper script as well.
*Note that H5_CFLAGS ultimately is assigned into AM_CFLAGS for use in the
Makefiles. Complete description of changes and build process will be
included in a Configure Document that Elena and I are working on.
3. Removed unsupported config files. This includes:
config/dec-osf*
config/hpux11.00
config/irix5.x
config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x
config/rs6000-ibm-aix5.x
config/unicos*
4. Modified configure summary to display additional values. Specifically,
appropriate AM_* variables are being shown, as well as H5_FCFLAGS and
H5_CXXFLAGS, which were for some reason not already present.
Tested:
- H5committest
- Tested on all THG / NCSA machines, using several combinations of the more
prominent configure options (c++, fortran, szip, threadsafe, parallel,
et cetera). (Thanks to Quincey for rysnc testing setup!)
- With regards to new automated testing, anything *necessary* for
compilation will be caught by the daily tests as it stands now. (i.e.,
if LDFLAGS is not properly set when szip is used, linking will fail).
Additionally, with regards to which flags get into h5cc, if any
*necessary* flags have been improperly removed, then daily tests should
fail during make installcheck. Additional machine-specific desired
behaviors and/or checks may have to be set up separately within the
daily tests, so this is something to work on.
Description:
When copying a dataset using a vlen inside a compound, the various dataset
copying callbacks would allocate a background buffer but would not use it when
converting from disk to memory, only memory to disk. This caused an assertion
failure as compounds always need a background buffer. These callbacks have
been modified to use the background buffer for both conversions.
Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Makefile Bug Fix
Description:
Added $(EXEEXT) extension to H5detect when it's executed to generate
H5Tinit.c so it works correctly on platforms that require the full
extension when running executables.
Tested:
h5committest, mingw, and user-verified (via submitted patch).
Configure Fix
Description:
Modified configure to set FC and CXX to "no" when fortran and c++ are
not being compiled, respectively. This will prevent configure from running
some checks on these compilers when they are not being used.
This fixes a problem that was occuring when FC and/or CXX are set to
a nonexistant or invalid compiler. Even if the languages were disabled,
a libtool test would fail, thus preventing libtool from properly linking
any libraries, yet configure would not flag an error message due to this
because the languages were disabled.
Tested:
- h5committest (jam, smirom, linew)
- manually eyeballed configure output and logfile.
Added missing H5Tclose in region reference routines.
H5DS.c checked for other locations which need to account for platform dependent types in dealing with ds_list_t. Added generator program for test files of LE and BE dimension scales.
Tested: local linux, h5committest
Changed H5check_version() to suppress the warning message totally if
$HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is 2 or higher. (Old behavior treated 3 or higher
the same as 1, that is to print a warning and allows the program to continue.
Tested:
h5committested, extra jam serial, --disable-embedded-libinfo.
Description:
H5Ppublic.h listed H5Pget_filter_by_id1 and H5Pget_filter_by_id2 as returning
H5Z_filter_t, when in fact they return herr_t. The header file has been
corrected to indicate that they return herr_t.
Tested: jam
Updating autotools
Description:
Installed new autotools and used them to reconfigure HDF5.
- Automake upgraded to 1.11
- Autoconf upgraded to 2.64
- bin/reconfigure script edited to use new versions (on jam), and
run to generate new configure script and Makefile.in's.
- configure.in script edited to add "_cv_" to all AC_CACHE_VAL strings
(in order to comply with new autoconf standard).
Tested:
Tested on machines jam, smirom, liberty, linew.
Tested w/ features c++, fortran, parallel.
Tested w/ compilers gcc, pgcc, icc.
Further testing via Daily Tests should catch any other outliers. Upon
passing DT's, I'll propogate the new tools into 1.8, hdf4, et cetera.
Fix BZ #1583
Description:
The --enable-static-exec flag was broken. Configure was adding the
-all-static linker flag to an environment variable which was subsequently
never used. (looks like it was used in 1.6 Makefile.ins, but never
moved to 1.8's Makefile.ams when we added automake support).
To fix, I've added this environment varibale to the link lines of all the
tools. Now, when --enable-static-exec is invoked, it will correctly
generate statically linked executables in the installed bin directory.
Tested:
I've tested manually to ensure that the generated execs are static when
the flag is used and dynamic when not. I've also tested when szip is
used, as this was a use case mentioned in the bug report.
Also: ran full tests with make check on jam and smirom for good measure.
Description:
Previously, when H5Z_filter_info was called for a filter that was not present,
it would succeed and return the information from one position past the end of
the pipeline, possibly causing a segfault. This affected at least
H5Pget_fitler_by_id1/2, and possibly other API functions. Fixed to properly
return failure.
Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Description:
When using H5T_copy on committed datatypes that are already open, H5T_copy would
properly use the already existing shared struct, but would still deep copy all
of the fields in that struct. This would cause memory leaks, and in the case of
a compound containing a vlen (or reference), the change in size would cause the
size of the resulting type to be set to an incorrect value. Changed H5T_copy to
properly avoid deep copies when using a reopened shared struct.
Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest), purify on jam
ISSUE: h5ltread_dataset_string_f causes library assertion with g95.
SOLUTION: convert the fortran string buffer to a C buffer with HD5f2cstring, and pass this string to the C function
TEST: added a test call in the fortran test lite program
DOCS: added the note in RELEASE.txt "- Lite: the h5ltread_dataset_string_f and h5ltget_attribute_string_f functions had memory problems with the g95 fortran compiler. (PVN - 5/13/2009) 1522
Description:
Previously, there was no versioning for H5Z_class_t. This prevented applications
written for 1.6 using custom filters from being able to use the 1.8 library.
There is now an H5Z_class1_t and H5Z_class2_t to enable compatibility. H5Zregister is
*not* versioned, it determines which version of the struct has been passed in by the
value of the first field (id or version, both are ints).
Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest), jam (--with-default-api-version=v16)
Description:
When writing data to a dataset, the data transform was performed after type conversion.
This caused an error if the file type was non-native. This has been changed so data
transforms are always performed on the memory type.
Tested: jam, linew. smirom (h5committest)
Description:
h5repack previously would not take named datatypes into consideration when copying
datasets and attributes. This would cause extra anonymous datatypes in the target file
at best, and cause errors halfway through the repacking at worst. h5repack should now
always handle named datatypes correctly. Named datatypes are also now converted to the
native type when -n is given.
Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
- Updated bin/reconfigure to use latest version of automake (1.10.2).
Re-generated Makefile.in's by running bin/reconfigure.
- Added libtool version numbers to c++, fortran, hl, hl c++, and hl fortran
libraries.
Tested:
jam, liberty, smirom
Added a Make target of check-all-install to test the correctness of
installing via the prefix= or $DESTDIR options.
Platforms tested:
h5committested and jam serial mode. Then test check-all-install by hand.
- h5diff new flag, -c, --compare, list objects that are not comparable.
PVN - 2009/4/2 - 1368
- h5diff new flag, -N, --nan, avoids NaNs detection. PVN - 2009/4/2
Description:
The H5L interface was not marked as uninitialized when H5L_term_interface was
called. This caused the interface to not initialize itself later on. This
prevented external links from working after calling H5close, because they were
never re-registered.

Description:
Versions of the library between 1.3.0 and 1.6.3 have a bug which prevents them
from opening any file that does not have the root group's symbol table
information cached in the root group's entry in the superblock. Prior to 1.8
this was not an issue as this information was always cached. However, 1.8.0
stopped writing this information (which is not required by the file format
specification), and these older versions can therefore not read files created or
last written by versions 1.8.0 to 1.8.2. This fix modifies the library to once
again add this information to the superblock (when using the old file format).

Description:
Changed Skip list package to use a deterministic skip list. This allows the
skip list package to avoid calling rand() and srand(), even on machines without
rand_r(). There is no longer a p-value or maximum level for skip lists.
Tested: jam, smirom, linew (h5committest)
Description:
Previously, H5Lcopy and H5Lmove would (through H5L_move) improperly apply the
"create intermediate groups" property to the source path traversal, and not the
destination. Fixed it to apply the property to the destination and not the
source. Also fixed H5Lcreate_ud to reject internal link classes without
throwing an assertion.
Tested: linew, jam, smirom (h5committtest)
