Description:
In library code, we try not to use system calls directly, but instead use the HD{function} macro instead. This way, we can map special versions of the call on particular systems. Previously, it was all done in H5private.h. However, in an effort to clean up platform-specific definitions, we move all of the Windows macros into a separate file, win32defs.h. This way, we can use the non-Posix versions that Visual Studio sends warnings about.
Some macros are set specifically in the platform-specific header files. Then, any macros left unset will be set by the "default" implementation in H5private.h.
This checkin also cleans up various source files to use the HD* macros when possible.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
VS.NET on WinXP
h5committest (kagiso, linew, smirom)
Description:
On Windows, many POSIX functions have been replaced by a similarly-named function with some additional security-checking. Visual Studio issues a warning each time the POSIX version is used, recommending that we replace it with the new version. This results in thousands of errors when building the HDF5 library.
This checkin adds a Visual Studio "Property Sheet", which has been applied to all library projects, and defines a number of preprocessors to suppress these warnings. The warnings have been disabled only in Visual Studio 2005 project files, as VS.NET doesn't support property sheets.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
