Description: Added a command file for testing tools; it has a framework
to do exactly (almost) what UNIX tools test scripts do:
- run test tool and save output
- compare output with expected result
- figure out the difference and
- print PASSED /*FAILED* in a manner similar to the UNIX output
It needs to be populated with more tests and reused for other tools.
Solution:
Platforms tested: VMS server
Misc. update:
Description: Added test script and two test files in the tools/misc/testfiles
directory for testing h5stat tool; modified Makefile.am in tools/misc
and configure.in files to run the new test script; reran bin/recofigure
to update relevant configuration files; updated MANIFEST
Solution:
Platforms tested: heping with in place and srcdir builds; will do more testing
after the checkin.
Misc. update:
Bug fix - bugzilla #552
Description:
On Cray X1, trying to use : as an argument confused the system.
Solution:
Added a test in configure to see if : as an argument is bad.
If so, skipped the test.
Platforms tested:
mir, Cray X1 (change to configure only)
Code checkpoint
Description:
Checkpoint fractal heap improvements, as well as move the free space
manager code that it's using into a separate package.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & FORTRAN
Linux 2.4/32 (heping)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
AIX 5.? (copper) w/FORTRAN & parallel
Code checkpoint
Description:
More progress on fractal heap, can now re-open an existing heap, although
the free space algorithm still needs work.
Also, use the new "pinned entry" metadata cache code.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (heping)
Solaris 9 (shanti)
Linux 2.4/64 (mir)
Code cleanup
Description:
Big clean up on high-level library code, including:
- Removing include of HDF5 private header file(!)
- Reduce number of compiler warnings
- Untangle header files, etc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & FORTRAN
Add pinned entry capability to cache.
Description:
For frequently accessed cache entries, the protect/unprotect overhead
is sometimes a bottleneck.
Solution:
Allow entries to be pinned in the cache. Pinned entries can't be
evicted, but can be flushed or modified.
Platforms tested:
h5committested -- minus one small typo in test/cache.c whose fix was
tested on copper and heping only.
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
added support for the printout of dataset region references differences
added a new test for this
merged the h5diff generator of test files into a single file
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
solaris
Misc. update:
Several bug fixes
Description:
Added config file for Cray X1 (previous file was misnamed)
Simplified some code in hyperslab.c test that seemed to have been
confusing compiler on Cray X1.
Fixed typo in config/commence.am
Cleaned up hl/src/Makefile.am
Solution:
All four fixes should be straightforward. The failure on Cray was
very difficult to debug, but involved arithmetic errors.
This change seems to fix it.
Platforms tested:
heping, copper, sol, some Cray X1 (more testing when system comes back up)
Bug fix.
Description:
./hl/src/H5LTparse.h was marked as DO_NOT_DISTRIBUTE by mistake.
It should not be installed but must be present for building.
Solution:
Fixed.
Platforms tested:
Should work.
Description: Here is what I did:
modified MANIFEST according Quincey's instructions to fix
the problem exposed by bin/release (compilation fails
because some header files were not included in the distribution)
fixed small typo and modified include_HEADERS line in
src/Makefile.am to address the problem exposed by bin/release
ran bin/h5vers to change version number to 1.8.0-alpha0
ran bin/release to release tar ball to the ftp server
Solution:
Platforms tested: mir MANY,MANY,MANY times
Misc. update:
Code checkpoint
Description:
Add in more fractal heap support for odd allocation patterns (entries that
are too large for various block sizes, etc.)
Broke out fractal heap code into more source code modules.
Refactored fractal heap test to make it more understandable and
maintainable for the long term.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (heping)
Linux 2.4/64 (mir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
AIX
solaris
with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
bug fixes
Description:
h5dump/h5ls were not displaying long doubles correctly
Solution:
1) the print datatype functions were incorrectly testing for the valid return value from H5Tequal,
(TRUE), causing the display of an incorrect name of a dataype in error cases from H5Tequal
2) h5tools_print_str did not have a case for native long double
3) added a file generator for a long double dataset
4) added one script test for the long double data (commented , some sytems don't have a native long double match, and the output differs)
5) added a vms file and h5dump script test
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
Description: cross_read.c is a new program to test reading data created
on an OpenVMS, a little-endian, and a big-endian machine. The three
data files are vms_data.h5, be_data.h5, and le_data.h5. To generate
these data files, run gen_cross.c on these machines and change the file
names.
Platforms tested: fuss and h5committest
Misc. update: MANIFEST
bug fix
Description:
percent relative error was done using integer arythmetic; use floating point instead
added the case for unsigned long long integer to float conversion
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (32,64)
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
1) added a more explainative usage message
2) the percent relative error for the integer type (division) was being done using integer arythmetic; use floating point arythmetic instead
3) added a new test for integer percent
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (32,64)
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix, new features
Description:
when comparing links , the output for the number of differences found was not being done
Solution:
print it
add 3 more tests that test the output of differences for 1) groups 2) datatypes 3) links
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Code checkpoint
Description:
The fractal heap code is reasonably stable and is passing all its
current tests, so checkpoint everything with CVS.
Also, add "statistics" module for v2 B-trees code, which is only a
stub right now.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OSX (amazon)
Linux 2.4 (chicago)
Description: I ran bin/chkmanifest BEFORE adding files to CVS. Therefore
script ignored all new files and reported success.
Solution: Added missing files and told myself to remember this next time.
Platforms tested: heping with bin/chkmanifest
Misc. update:
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
