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.
Description:
- Revised DataSet::write to pass in correct string buffer
- Added member function DataSet::getInMemDataSize() to simplify
getting the dataset's data size in memory.
- Added private functions for reading fixed- and variable-length
string data: p_read_fixed_len and p_read_variable_len.
- Added tests to write/read array of strings to datasets.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
FreeBSD/64 6.3 (liberty)
SunOS 5.10 (linew)
Description:
Divided Attribute::read into specific private functions for fixed-
and variable-len string data: p_read_fixed_len and p_read_variable_len.
Added test to write/read array of strings to attributes.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
FreeBSD/64 6.3 (liberty)
SunOS 5.10 (linew)
If the AR command has embedded shell separators such as the case of
"AR = ar -X 64", $AR ends up as a blank.
Solution:
Put quotes around the command substitution string to protect against embedded
separators. Applied the same to both AR and RANLIB assignments.
Tested:
At Up (AIX 5.3) only because that was where I discovered the error
when AR is ar -X 64
Added member function Attribute::getInMemDataSize(), which is a wrapper
of several C calls, to simplify getting the attribute's data size in
memory. Used this new function in Attribute::read to get the fixed-len
string attribute data.
Added tests to tattr.cpp.

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)
- 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
Fixed to pass parameters to H5Awrite/H5Aread correctly so that
all Attribute::write and Attribute::read methods work correctly
for both fixed-length and variable-length string attributes.
Added more test cases.

Bug Fix
Description:
Fixing BZ #1381. The --includedir=DIR configure option, which is used
to specify the installation location of C header files, did not work
correctly as the path was hard-coded in config/commence.am. I'm presuming
this is because an older version of automake didn't know where to put
c header files. In any case, removing this line now defaults the includedir
to the same directory that it is currently hard-coded to, and also fixes
the configure flag to allow customization of this value.
Tested:
jam, liberty
the way h5ls prints types, it starts searching for NATIVE types first. One solution would be h5ls not to detect these native types, using for example the same print datatype function that h5dump does, that would make the output look the same on all platforms ("32-bit little-endian integer" would be printed instead). Drawback, this "native" information would not be available. Other solution is to have not one but 2 expected outputs and make the shell script detect the endianess and compare with one output or other
tested: h5committest
Added missing wrappers for H5Rdereference.
Also, for these wrappers, improved exception handlings to report specific
overloaded functions, where failure occurs. Will do the same for more
functions later...
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.6 (kagiso)

FreeBSD (duty)
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)
Fix various problems with a the core & sec2 VFDs.
Improve the h5_get_file_size() routine to handle files created with
VFDs that use multiple files.

No need for h5committest, just whitespace changes...
Description:
Changed all subclasses' setId to protected p_setId and put back setId
in IdComponent. p_setId is used in the library where the id provided
by a C API passed on to user's application in the form of a C++ API
object, which will be destroyed properly, and so p_setId does not
call incRefCount. On the other hand, the public version setId is
used by other applications, in which the id passed to setId needs
to be closed properly by the application, so setId must call incRefCount
for the new object to prevent prematurely closing of the id.

the file didn't have the data. It happened because each handle had its own
object structure, and the empty one overwrote the data with fill value. This is
fixed by making some attribute information like the data be shared in the
attribute structure.
Tested on smirom, kagiso, and linew.
Description:
The class hierarchy was revised to address the problem reported in
bugzilla #1068. Classes AbstractDS and Attribute are moved out of
H5Object. Class Attribute now multiply inherits from IdComponent and
AbstractDs and class DataSet from H5Object and AbstractDs.
In addition, data member IdComponent::id was moved into subclasses:
Attribute, DataSet, DataSpace, DataType, H5File, Group, and PropList.

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.

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(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.
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)
Description:
- Revised Attribute::write and Attribute::read wrappers to handle

FreeBSD (duty) - there was something wrong in the C tests for makecheck
hung quite a long time; I went ahead with makecheck just in c++ dir,
since the changes didn't effect the C tests. I'll keep an eye on
the tests tonight...
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
Correct the prototype for H5Sselect_elements() to take an 'hsize_t *' for
the coordinates, instead of 'hsize_t **'.

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.
