Overhaul usage of object header chunks to reduce I/O operations and
memory allocations. The object header prefix is now stored in the first
object header chunk's "image" in memory.
Also, lots of formatting cleanups.
Taught h5debug tool about new object header format (which isn't enabled
just yet).
Tested on:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
option --enable-direct-vfd/--disable-direct-vfd to enable/disable Direct I/O support. The default
is enabled. There's a small test in test/vfd.c. Another way to test it is to set environment
variable HDF5_DRIVER to "direct" and run "make check" in the test/ directory. There'll be some
further improvement in the following checkin including allowing user to provide memory boundary
value, file block size, and copying buffer size.
Add "use the latest format" support for dataspace object header encode/
decode routines and clean up format a bit for the latest format (new to 1.8.x
releases)
Remove storing 'perm' parameter for array datatypes in memory and the file,
and add test to make certain that if any user applications are attempting to
store them, we get some reports back. (Should be unlikely, since the RefMan
says that the parameter is not implemented and is unsupported).
Carry those changes into the tests, etc.
Clean up a bunch more compiler warnings.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-1.6-compat
and quote its arguments. Also checks for the 'socket' library on
Solaris.
If this patch passes the Daily Tests and makes the user happy, I'll
port it back to the 1.6 branch.
Tested on mir and sol.
Further minor modifications to the file format for tracking links in groups.
This is tentatively the "final" file format for groups.
Tested on:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
File format is not stable, don't keep files produced!
Description:
First stage of checkins modifying the format of groups to support creation
order. Implement "dense" storage for links in groups.
Try to clarify some of the symbols for the H5L API.
Add the H5Pset_latest_format() flag for FAPLs, to choose to use the newest
file format options (including "dense" link storage in groups)
Add the H5Pset_track_creation_order() flag for GCPLs, to enable creation
order tracking in groups (although no index on creation order yet).
Remove --enable-group-revision configure flag, as file format issues are
now handled in a backwardly/forwardly compatible way.
Clean up lots of compiler warnings and other minor formatting issues.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe

revised binary flags, added a new file to the test generator program to
be used in the binary tests
usage is now
-o F, --output=F Output raw data into file F
-b F, --binary=F Binary output, of form F (into file -o F).
Recommended usage is with --dataset=P
Form F of binary output is: MEMORY for memory type,
FILE for the disk file type, LE or BE for pre-existing
little or big endian types
example
./h5dump -d integer -b MEMORY -o out.bin tbinary.h5
Review, revise & checkin in Peter's latest round of object copy changes,
which add basic support for datasets & attributes with reference datatypes.
Tested on:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)

Improve density of the B-tree further. For greater depths of B-trees,
the gains are over 100%...
Also, don't split internal nodes with 3->4 splits, use a 1->2 split
instead, so that the density of the nodes around a split is maximized.
Tested:
Mac OS X/PPC 10.4 (amazon)
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
Code cleanup.
Description:
Removed argc and argv from the function arguments of h5tools_get_fapl() and
h5tools_fopen(). They were used to call MPI_Init() which was no longer
needed.
Tested:
heping (serial and parallel).
Refactor the file storage of "twig" nodes in the B-tree to allow them to
store more records, increasing the average density of the B-tree 30-40%.
Increase # of records in "insert lots" regression test to still create
B-tree of depth 4
Update h5debug to interpret difference of 'branch' and 'twig' internal
nodes in B-tree correctly.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux/32 2.4 (heping)
Linux/64 2.4 (mir)
Solaris/64 2.9 (shanti)
Since these examples need to follow filesystem paths, the Makefiles need
to create directories in the examples directory; added this to the
Makefile.am.
Tested on Windows, mir, juniper
Several changes, all mooshed together:
- Add support for "tiny" objects - which can be stored in the heap
ID itself, instead of in the heap data blocks.
- Flesh out support for compressed direct blocks, but comment it
out until John's got some metadata cache changes in place to
support it.
- Add support for applying I/O pipeline filters to 'huge' objects
- Refactor 'huge' object code to store information for 'huge' objects
directly in the heap ID, when there are I/O pipeline filters
applied to the heap (and the heap ID is large enough to hold the
information)
- Update h5debug tool to correctly handle 'huge' & 'tiny' objects.
- Misc. other code cleanups, etc.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux/64 2.4 (mir)
Solaris/64 2.9 (shanti)
Clean up compiler warnings/failures in test/links.c, especially when
--disable-production flag used with --enable-group-revision
Modify binary dumping in h5dump to clean up files created [a band-aid
solution to not actually creating the files in the srcdir, but better than
just leaving the files around... :-/ ]
Tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) (w/ configure flags above)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fixes.
Description:
There were MPI_init and MPI_finalize calls in the code of h5tools_fopen in
parallel mode. But if a non-MPI tool is invoke to open a non-existing
file, it tries to open the non-existing file with different VFD and
eventaully came to try with the MPIO or the MPIPOSIX vfd, then it would
try to do MPI_Init which would fail in the MPI environment if the a.out
was not launched by MPI properly.
Solution:
MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize in general should be called by the MPI application,
not called by a library subroutine as in the manner that was done here.
Removed the MPI_init and MPI_Finalize calls. Used MPI_Initialized to
verify if this has been launched as an MPI application in the proper
manner before attempting to use the MPIO or the MPIPOSIX VFD to open
the file.
Tested:
In tg-ncsa parallel, where it had failed explicitly and also in Heping,
using both serial and parallel mode.
Users can create external links using H5L_create_external(). These links
point to an object in another HDF5 file. Users can alter the behavior of
external links or create new kinds of links by registering callbacks
using the H5L interface.
Added tests, tools support, etc.
Also a number of other, minor changes have been made (some restructuring of
the H5L interface, for instance).
Additional documentation and examples are forthcoming.
Refactored free space manager to use metadata cache for serialized free
space sections. This speeds up the fractal heap test considerably...
Tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4/32 (chicago)

the $srcdir properly. It is not right to chdir into testfiles and write
files there because in real srcdir mode, one should not changes things
in the srcdir area which could be shared by multiple builds simultanteously.
Solution: added the proper $srcdir components to the source file name.
Also clean up the indentation by cb.
Tested: only by hand in heping.
"make check-vfd" will now run all tests in the test directory with different
file drivers (at least, all of those tests that use the testing framework's
FAPL). Tests that fail will be skipped.
This is not a perfect fix, but is better than nothing.
Along with this change, check-vfd should be added to the Daily Tests.
1. changed the -F flag option names to "BE and "LE" for big and little endian
2. added a more verbose usage message for these options
3. add a new test
4. add a make clean instruction to *.bin
bug fix
calling h5tools_get_fapl running the mpio driver caused H5FD_pl_copy to
fail silently in some conditions. a MPI call was made before MPI_Init.
solution: corrected the MPI call to be made after MPI_Init and added error return
conditions to H5FD_pl_copy and h5tools_get_fapl
tested on copper parallel, mir, shanti
it uses the API function H5Gcopy to copy groups and datasets from file
to file, read from a command line
note: the test script is not finished yet
tested on heping, copper, shanti
Feature
Description:
Revised Link APIs.
Solution:
New link APIs use H5L*
H5*create_expand do not create links to the objects created; this must
be done manually with H5Llink.
Added APIs to link an object given its ID (H5Llink), to copy links (H5Lcopy),
and changed creation APIs (H5Lcreate_hard and H5Lcreate_soft) and query
API (H5Lget_linkinfo instead of H5Gget_objinfo).
All old APIs are still supported in H5Gdeprec.c .

Solution:
Platforms tested: mir, heping, shanti, copper 64-bit, copper 32-bit parallel
using files from tools/testfiles directory and some NASA files
from our Web site.
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed
because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'.
The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr
but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather
clumsy.
Solution:
Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range
by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to
use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the
definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when
autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code.
The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from
configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay
because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti
using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.)

portable issue on windows
Description:
setvbuf on visual studio 2005 needs the size to be greater or equal to 2.
<description of setvbuf from msdn library>
Buffer size in bytes. Allowable range: 2 <= size <=
INT_MAX (2147483647). Internally, the value supplied
for size is rounded down to the nearest multiple of 2.
h5import used linebuffer option of setvbuf for stderr and stdout and the size is
0 by default. This causes core dump with visual 2005 on windows 64-bit.
Solution:
1. Use HDsetvbuf inside h5import.c,
2. Define HDsetvbuf inside windows H5pubconf.h for windows to work around
the core dump of h5import test. This is probably a bug inside visual studio 2005.

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:

check, progs, install, etc. are what gmake calls "phony" targets,
which means that no file should be created. These targets can be
specified by a line of the form
.PHONY: check progs install ...
Automake adds this line for targets it knows about, but HDF5 has a
lot of custom rules. This checkin adds a .PHONY line for those rules.
I believe that only gmake recognizes the .PHONY line (at least, pmake
doesn't seem to), but a partial solution is better than none.
This error should occur very rarely anyway (the user has to manually
create files with names like 'build-check-s' or '_test').

WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...

Copyright fix

Platforms tested:
Trivial change
Misc. update:
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Added support for -shlib in h5fc and h5c++.
Made check-install use -shlib when only shared libraries have been installed.
Solution:
h5fc and h5c++ didn't recognize -shlib. Stole code from h5cc to link against
shared libraries.
When static libraries are disabled, the examples Makefiles will automatically
use the -shlib option to link against shared libraries. Thus,
--disable-static and make check-install should work together.
Platforms tested:
heping(disable-static, enable-static, fortran, c++), modi4 (disable-static, fortran, c++, parallel, enable-static)
Update copyrights.
Description:
Solution:
This should address almost all of the "simple" cases in the repository.
There's still work to do, but it's going to require actually thinking about
the files in question instead of just copying & pasting.

Added additional targets to build-all
Description:
Surveyed files to find out which ones are not built.
Added test/space_overflow and perform/benchpar to programs built with
--enable-build-all.
Discovered that tools/misc/pdb2hdf5 and tools/misc/h5import were
obsolete and deleted them.
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Update of release file and removal of --enable-pdb2hdf5 to follow.
bug fix
Description:
an assertion after the search for objects was saying that the number of
objects in file should be > 0
removed it, since there can be a case where the number of objects is 0.
in this case this was found by a case where zlib was not present and the output file
was not written any objects to
note: this was only detected on the windows batch files, that do not have a conditional
condition to not run tests when a filter is not present
Solution:
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Description: VMS doesn't like file names with more than one "."
Some h5repacktst output file names were of the form
<name>.out.h5 causing h5repacktst to choke.
Solution: Renamed output files to be of the form <name>out.h5
Platforms tested: heping, unnamed VMS machine
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Changed configure.in to use an environment variable TR to set the path
to the tr utility.
Solution:
There are two kind of tr on Solaris with slightly different syntax.
HDF5's configure relies on the "standard" tr. Traditionally, HDF5ers
have needed to make sure that the "right" tr was found before the
wrong one in their path; now they can use an environment variable.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sol
Misc. update:
Forgot to update release notes. Off to do that now.
Makefile bug fix
Description:
Previously, automake didn't output rules to build perform/mpi-perf or
the test/gen_* programs.
Now these can be built by typing 'make mpi-perf' (or 'make foo') or by
configuring with --enable-build-all.
Solution:
Automake doesn't like having rules for programs it doesn't build. Tricked
it by having these programs built "sometimes"--whenever the user enables
--build-all. This should be used mostly for testing and to ensure that
these helper programs compile.
***IMPORTANT***
These programs do *not* currently compile. When --enable-build-all is used
(not the default), gen_new_fill fails because it uses an old API. This is
an existing "bug" that has simply been exposed by this checkin.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
SETUP Was using "cp" command which means file $2 will inherit the permission
setting of file $1. If $1 is read-only, so will $2. That will cause
failure when the test attempts to write it later on. Changed to use
the "cat" command.
Tested in LANL QSC and Flash.
bug fix.
Description:
When a parallel test script test fails, make would continue because the
way it was setup inside a for loop. Fixed it by issuing an exit 1 inside
the loop.
There was also a typo error in the newer command comparision that it
must be $${chkname} in order to be valid. Also, the test script itself
was not checked in the newer lists. All fixed.

Bug fix
Description:
Disabled C++ shared libraries for Sun Workshop compiler.
Solution:
This bug only seems to happen when using the -xarch=v9 flag to compile in
64-bit mode, but disabling shared libraries entirely for this compiler is
an easier fix (I don't know how to detect 64 bit mode from the command line).
The framework for disabling shared libraries for other C++ compilers is
in place.

Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't

Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
Bug fix
Description:
Building with --disable-static seems to have been broken on several platforms.
Fixed this.
Configure will now disable shared libraries automatically when using pgf90
or when building on Cygwin.
Solution:
To avoid errors when using shared libraries with pgf90 (which I had not
realized were compiler-specific), I had manually set convenience libraries
to use the -static linking flag. Apparently, this is not necessary, and
caused these libraries to be created as empty archives when --disable-static
was used.
Also, some libraries were including other libraries, which was not
necessary.
I also fixed code in configure.in to correctly detect whether shared
or static libraries are enabled, and moved code that disables shared libraries
to before libtool is created (rather than editing libtool after the fact).
Despite repeated warnings that only one shared library can be linked at a
time, I have yet to have shared libraries break the linking of tests on
any system. We'll see if the Daily Tests turn up anything.
Platforms tested:

so that it is applied whenever check-clean is called.
Platforms tested:
heping pp using MPE.
Bug fixes
Description:
This checkin fixes an occasional error on kelgia on sol during distclean.
It also causes test scripts to depend properly on the programs they're
supposed to be testing.
Solution:
The kelgia bug was due to some files being cleaned by automake and manually.
Removed the manual cleaning in src/Makefile.am.
Test script dependencies now need to be specified manually, since the
makefile can't guess what they test from their name. Currently all test
scripts in a given directory have a single list of dependencies--this was
easy and seems to be sufficient.
These dependencies are listed in the SCRIPT_DEPEND variable in the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4, sol

Bug fix
Description:
ph5diff had been hanging in Tflops. Found out that vsnprintf ph5diff
uses was a local coded that did not limit printing according to the size
argument. That resulted in buffer overflow and other problems.
Solution:
Added some sort of size checking in the home-grown vsnprintf and
had ph5diff checked for error return of vsnprintf. Leon also
revamped the ph5diff manager's way of handling communications with
the workers. That eliminated all but the last case of hanging.
Platforms tested:
Tflops.

Bug fix and code minor cleanup.
Description:
The attempt to redirect stderr together to the log files were
done in the wrong order such that stderr output goes to where
stdout WAS. Fixed that.
Code minor cleanup--use shell variables to hold the name of the

makes easier code reading, less crowded and avoid typos.
Only conclude.in is changed. The Makefile.in changes are all
derived from automake.
Platforms tested:

Makefile feature
Description:
'make check-clean' now cleans *.h5 files created by tests as well as
.log and .chkexe files.
Solution:
check-clean is now a separate target in its own right, which cleans less
than mostlyclean (check-clean < mostlyclean < clean < distclean).
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, modi4 (serial and parallel)
Feature: check-clean target
Description:
'make check-clean' cleans up output files from tests.
Solution:
Tests create foo.chkexe and foo.log files. Scripts create foo.chksh and
foo.logsh files. 'make check-clean' will clean these files up so that
the tests can be re-run.
Also suppressed some not-very-useful output of Makefiles when it would
echo commands.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Configuration feature
Description:
Serial test output is now stored in log files and printed when all tests
in a directory complete, or when a test fails. This should make test output
more readable and useful.
Also made changes to clean up ii_files directories that are created by some
C++ compilers/linkers.
Also fixed a few minor Makefile bugs.
Solution:
When serial tests run, their output is saved in *.log or *.logsh. While
running, tests only print when they begin and when they complete; their
more specific output (from the log file) is printed if the test fails or
when all tests have completed.
Comments welcome.

The ".chksh" file for a test script was being created in the "source"
location rather than the build location. This can cause problems when
multiple builds are running because "slower" machines will see the ".cshsh"

When tests are run, their path is ./$testname .
When scripts are run, their path has no leading "./". Fixed.
Sol and shanti don't recognize the -e option for test, but they do know
-f. Fixed.
Also modified release notes.
Platforms tested:

Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
bug fix
Description:
when diffing a string type string , a cycle is made using the hdf5 get_size function, which returns
the type size
some strings might have a NULL terminator character before the type size position
this was noticed on a HDF-EOS file on the HDFEOSVersion attribute which was defined as a type with a 32 size,
but contained a string with 12 characters, making h5diff to compare the extra garbage characters
Solution:
detect the NULL terminator character and end the diff at that position
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Bug fix for parallel case for new "Some objects were not comparable" patch to h5diff.
Description:
The parallel h5diff wouldn't print out "Some objects were not comparable" because the worker
tasks were not communicating the not_cmp flag of the diff_opt_t struct back to the manager, who ultimately
prints everything.
Also, some miscellaneous fixes for error printing. Some errors were printed out with printf instead of fprintf(stderr,...).
In parallel environments, this can result in output getting lost.
Solution:
Had the worker tasks pass along the not_cmp flag to the manager when they sent along
the number of differences they found.

Misc. update:
Description: See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved
anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine
the member size.
Solution: Hopefully, this is the last step of checkin for this stage. This step
mainly enables h5repart tool to be able to convert file driver from family to
sec2. Because the library saves family information in file, in trying to convert
to sec2 driver, the library simply change the address of driver information to
undefined so that the driver information block can be ignored. This step also
updates the reference manual of H5Pset_fapl_family() and h5repart.
In the fifth step of checkin, backward compatibility with v1.6
is tested. A family file created was created with the v1.6 library and opened
with this version of the library.
In the fourth step of checkin, a test suit is added for h5repart,
including a program to generate the test files, a script file to run h5repart,
and a program to verify repartitioned files can be opened by the library.
There's a change from the first step of checkin. Family name template is no
longer saved in the superblock because different pathname can make the name
different.
In the third step of checkin, h5repart has been modified. If h5repart is used
to change the size of family member file, the new size(actual member size) is saved
in the superblock.
In the second step of checkin, multi driver is checked against the driver
name saved in superblock. Wrong driver will result in a failure with an error message
indicating
multi driver should be used. This change includes split driver because it's a special
case for multi
driver.
In the first step of checkin. Family member size and name template(unused at this stage) are saved
in file superblock. When file is reopened,the size passed in thrin superblock. A different size
will trigger a failure with an error message indicating the right size. Wrong driver to open family
file will cause a failure, too.

Misc. update:
Description: Let this short script file check whether the tests pass
and report pass or fail.
Platforms tested: fuss only - a simple change to the script file.
Description: After recent fix of family driver bug(#213), some failure
was discovered on sol and kelgia in daily test. Family files can't be
opened by hdf5/tools/misc/repart_test.c. It turned out to be the
destination size of "off_t" type wasn't passed in through H5Pset()
correctly.
Solution: In tools/misc/h5repart.c, copy the destination size to a
variable of "hsize_t" type and pass in to H5Pset().
Platforms tested: sol and kelgia where the failure was discovered.

Description:
check-s and check-p were set as pre-requistics of test. They
would get executed in parallel if parallel make is used. This
could cause problems since serial tests are used to be executed
before parallel tests. It is not known if it is always okay to
run serial and parallel tests in simultantously.
Solution:
Change check-s and check-p as actions of the target test so
that they get executed sequnentially.
Platforms tested:

the printing of the array indices was done relatively to the stripmine data (data read
by hyperslabs when its memory requiremnts are too large)
this was causing an incorrect numbering of the array indices (the next read would initialize
the indices to zero)
Solution:
added a field to the print context that keeps track of the stripmine position
and pass to the rendering function the total element position

FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/CC=g++
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix/code cleanup
Description:
Add tests to determine that very long (64K+) object names are working.
Fixed a couple of bugs in h5dump where they weren't...

Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up various warnings reported by the Windows team.
Platforms tested:

Too minor to require h5committest
Description: Removed support for SRB driver
Solution: Removed or modified appropriate files; ran reconfigure
to regenerate Makefile.in and configure files.
Platforms tested: heping and shanti
Misc. update: ran bin/chkmanifest on heping
Configuration feature
Description:
Different Fortran compilers mangle function names in different ways
(upper case, lower case, adding underscores). To link between
Fortran and C functions, we need to know what a given function's
name is under a given compiler.
Solution:
Use autoconf's FC_WRAPPERS check to determine the Fortran
naming scheme and define the FC_FUNC_ macro to name our
functions (in H5f90proto.h). Removed references to
our old FNAME macro, as well as flags that indicated whether
function names were upper or lower case.

Bug fix
Description:
On some machines, $RUNSERIAL variable needs to be used to run
tests. Set $RUNTESTS (which is used for non-parallel tests) to
be $RUNSERIAL in configure.am.
Also, since I was updating all Makefiles.in anyway, I updated
commence.am to point to autotools installs in AFS instead of
those on heping.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4, copper
Purpose:
"Bug fix"
Description:
Hardcoded Makefiles to use /bin/sh instead of letting configure
detect shell automatically. This is what v1.6 does, and avoids
problems on janus.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, mir
New feature
Description:
Add first iteration of "segmented heap" code, which will be used to store
links in groups in a more flexible way than the previous "local heap" mechanism.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Feature - conditional compilation
Description:
SRB file driver and tests are now compiled only when SRB is enabled
(using --with-srb during configure).
Solution:
Added an automake conditional in configure.in, altered Makefiles.am in
src and test directories to depend on that conditional.
This should make a nice example for posterity to add conditionally
compiled sources.
Platforms tested:
heping (only configure change)
Purpose:
Added C++ wrapper for Packet Table API.
Description:
Added macro for high-level C++ library (LIBH5CPP_HL), which changes every
Makefile.in.
Added directories for high-level C++ library (though currently only Packet
Table API is supported).
Added both C++ source and tests.

Bug fix
Description:
Typo in #ifdef to check for snprintf functionality.
Solution:
That should have been H5_VSNPRINTF_WORKS.
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug fix.
Description:
ph5diff fails on modi4 due to the way snprintf works on IRIX.
Solution:
The C99 standard says that, if there isn't enough room in the string,
snprintf should return the number of characters that
would have been written to the output string if there were enough room.
The snprintf on modi4 would return the number of characters that is was able to write
succesfully to the string if space ran out. The ph5diff logic that checks if
the output buffer was full did not handle this sort of return value correctly.
Used VSNPRINTF_WORKS from configure test to check how snprintf works and do
the logic accordingly.
Platforms tested:
modi4
Misc. update:
New feature
Description:
Add new "block tracker" data structure to library, for tracking blocks of
bytes in a file. Block trackers will be used to keep track of the blocks
belonging to the soon-to-be-implemented "segmented heap" which is designed to
replace the current local & global heaps (starting with the local heap).
Block trackers will also keep track of the free space in the segmented heap
and someday could be used to track the free space in the entire HDF5 file.
They are implemented as a small header of information to cache the state
of the blocks (max & min sizes of blocks tracked, etc.) and the records of
the blocks themselves are stored in a v2 B-tree.

Bug Fixes
Description:
Fixes for several bugs, including dumping of excess output to a temporary file, fix for printing
hsize_t datatype, and the long awaited fix for intermixed output.
Solution:
Fix 1: Overflow file
Previously, any output that a worker task made was buffered locally in memory, up to a point. Any
output beyond the size of the buffer (used to be 10k) was discarded. Now, the memory buffer size has been
changed to 1k and any output beyond this amount is sent a temporary file. This way, no output is lost
and memory usage is kept under control. The temporary file is deleted as soon as a worker task finishes
sending its contents to the manager.
Fix 2: hsize_t printing
Printing of the hsize_t datatype used to be handled by %Hu passed to HDfprintf. However, there is no corresponding HDvsnprintf that
is able to print hsize_t types. These are now printed with the aid of H5_PRINTF_LL_WIDTH.
Fix 3: Intermixed output fix
Intermixed output would occur on some machines (although I haven't seen it happen for a while) due to the unpredictability of the underlying network
and the speed at which various message would travel. This has been fixed by having all output send to the manager
for printing. The worker tasks no longer print the output themselves upon receipt of a token, but instead
send that data to the manager.
Platforms tested:
heping, eirene, tg-login (the only place that seems to still experience intermixed output every now and then)
Misc. update:
Automake version upgrade
Description:
Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5.
Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5.
Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables
instead of FFLAGS and F9X.
Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work
supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will
be cleaned later).
Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is
processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since
automake no longer allows us to define unused variables.
Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not
used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and
will break otherwise.
Platforms tested:
Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
Bug fix
Description:
The GASS VFL driver header file was bringing in the <string.h> header file,
which several other source code modules needed also, but weren't including
explicitly themselves.
Solution:
Add includes for <string.h> to files which actually need them.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++ as CC
Configuration not tested by h5committest...
Bug fix.
Description:
MPI_LONG_LONG, which is not standard yet, was used to pass the
nubmer of differences found. This was needed because number of
differences is defined as type hsize_t which can be arbitary large
such that there is no MPI type that matches it. The value is passed
between processes as an array of bytes in order to be portable. But this
may not work in non-homogeneous MPI environments.
This fix was actually Leon's idea.
Platforms tested:
Tested in QSC in which this failed.
Removed GASS configuration and software packages associated with
it. The following software are no longer configurable.
