added more tests, described in the test matrix
Description:
test -r
test -l
expanded -d, -p and -n tests
test different types to include links and named types
test for non supported classes, e.g bitfield, opaque , etc
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
update
Description:
Added h5fc to the h5tools list.
Added feature that it will udpate tools that are present.
(Would still abort if no tools found at all.)
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committest since it does not test this tool at all.
Did various test in eirene by hand.
Misc. update:
added some niceties and utilities, and more tests
Description:
some niceties: more error messages on cases of bad input
utilities: some functions to more human readable output
more tests: described in the test matrix
Platforms tested:
Linux/rockaway(C)
SunOS/arabica (C)
SGI/modi4 (C)
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: On HP11.00 and True64 systems strtoll function that is used
to read text to long integers is not available. Compilation
fails for h5import.c
Solution: Replace strtoll with HDstrtoll. HDstrtoll is a private HDF5 function
defined in H5private.h file, but this include file was already used
by h5import for some other reasons. It would be probably better
to choose strtol or strtoll functions at the configuration
time, but HDstrtoll provided really simple solution for now.
Platforms tested: arabica (to test that where it was working, it is still working),
kelgia (HP11.00) and PSC True64 machine.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: h5import tests will fail if srcdir option
is used with configure.
Solution: Modified h5importtest.c h5importtestutil.sh files
to search for input files in the proper directory and
to write output files to the proper directory.
Platforms tested: Tested on burrwhite, arabica, and modi4.
Unfortunately srcdir option was used only on
arabica, since I am having a weird 'timezone'
problem on all Linux machines when srcdir is used, and
on modi4 build has to be done in the same directory (at
least this is a message I am getting from configure;
should it work?)
Misc. update:
added more tests to automatic testing
Description:
added test for an invalid option letter
added test for -h option
added test for an invalid option -d
added test for an invalid option -d number
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux, solaris, sgi
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: There was an old h5import (h5import.c) tool in the misc directory.
The tool created 8-bit integer datasets , it was never tested and/or
supported.
Solution: We decided to rename old h5import.c to h5createU8.c. The new name reflects what
actually old tool does. New executable h5createU8 is built in the misc directory.
h5import.c file (old one) is still in the misc directory, but h5import executable
is not built. (Sorry if I confused you!)
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested
Misc. update:
Purpose: New tool
Description: Pankaj created h5import tool long time ago. I am finally checking
the source code in for the 1.6 release.
Known problems: h5import test will crash if srcdir option
is used; will be fixed before the release.
Solution:
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested. h5import tests passed
I also tested on arabica with srcdir option to make sure that
there is a problem when srcdir is used. After that I disabled
h5import tests. Daily tests will build h5import, but will not run
h5import tests.
Misc. update:
added test script for h5diff
code cleaning for alpha release
makefile now generates the h5difftst.c program that generates 2 .h5 files for testing
Description:
the .sh script runs several runs of h5diff and compares the output
with a predifined output located in /tools/testfiles (.txt files)
righ now it has only one test
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (other platforms later , ok !? )
Misc. update:
Bug fix/code cleanup/new feature
Description:
Fix h5debug to work correctly again, with all the changes over the past
few months.
Improved and cleaned up debugging output available in h5debug.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
h5diff bug fix, enhancements
Description:
the case for 8 byte integers was not handled
added more checking of wrong input data
Solution:
added the size 8 integer case
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris (64 mode)
bug fix
Description:
some data not read correctly due to type_id used in read
Solution:
did a function that determines the optimal memory type
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris
bug fixes in h5diff
Description:
there was a incorrect reading of arguments when only 1 object name was supplied
reading of data was done using type_id got from disk, causing some values not read correctly into memory
Solution:
used native types to read into memory
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris57
h5diff enhancements
Description:
changed -r to count the number of differences, but do not print them
changed the output format with some printf enginnering, to align columns
print the dimensions of dsets, in case they are different
test files added test for non supported data (class not integer or float)
fix print dimensions to 0 index
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris
new feature
Description:
Added a force mode (-force) which turns off prompting, just do it.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? no
[If no, why not?] It is just a shell script. Tested it in eirene.
Misc. update:
Will check in the updated RELEASE and document files.
h5diff bugs and enhancements
Description:
added checking for not comparable datatypes
added checking for the same dimensionality
changed the functionality of -n option, to check up to n reported differences
changed the formula for -p to relative error with absolute value
fixed a bug on solaris, related to printf integer format (int datatype)
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris
removed -d , -g , -t and -v options and renamed -m to -d and -v to -l
added output for objects that are not in one file but in the other
Platforms tested:
windows, linux
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up miscellaneous warnings which have crept into the code.
Fix "_POSIX_C_SOURCE not defined" warning on FreeBSD.
Adjust gcc compiler flags to be more concise for production mode.
Refactor the H5O code so that there is a stronger boundary between code
in the H5O package and code in the library which just calls H5O routines.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and gcc 2.95.4 & gcc 3.2.2
Misc. update:
Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file.
Bug Fix (Bug #806)
Description:
When compiling/installing with the command "make install" (without
performing a "make" beforehand) the tools weren't being made. This
was because the `install' command in the Makefiles only relied upon
public libraries, not private ones (which the one in the tools
directory is).
Solution:
Had the `install' command be dependent upon an "AUX_LIB" macro which
includes libraries which are needed but aren't distributed (that is,
they're staticly compiled).
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which
perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache
can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead
of collectively from all processes.
Solution:
Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which
could possibly trigger metadata I/O.
Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty
metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during
independent I/O.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel
Misc. update:
Updated release_docs/RELEASE
bug fix
added more verbose help message
added support for all dataset types
added more error checking
added new output format (28 Jan version )
Platforms tested:
windows , linux
patch
Description:
Tflops interprets "$@" as "" when no parameter is given (e.g., the
case of missing file name). Changed it to use $@ till Tflops fixes it.
Platforms tested:
Tflops, burrwhite (pp), modi4(pp)
Code cleanup & bug fix
Description:
Cleanup another set of warnings on Windows and also fix mis-placed assertion
that caused the daily tests to fail.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/-n32
Code cleanup
Description:
Various code cleanups to allow the development branch to be compiled with
a C++ compiler (i.e. CC=g++ )
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
