Bug fix
Description:
Add the hl/fortran/examples & hl/tools directories to the list of
directories targeted by mostlyclean/clean/distclean.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
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 high-level example directories
Description:
Refactored common code out of examples Makefiles.am, added high-level
example directories, added packet table examples.
Solution:
Examples now draw from a common config/examples.am file, which
contains rules for installing, uninstalling, and cleaning examples.
High-level example directories are mostly empty, except for the
C and C++ packet table tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, copper, shanti
Minor feature
Description:
If a user configures without C++ or Fortran, 'make' will not recurse into
c++ or fortran directories. However, if the user cd's into these
directories and 'makes,' the Makefiles will attempt to build interfaces
that have not been configured, usually failing.
In an unrelated but minor change, src/H5detect should be compiled with
the -g flag to disable compiler optimizations since it is only
executed once.
Solution:
Make it harder for users to try to compile interfaces that have not been
configured by making c++, fortran, and hl directories not recurse into
their subdirectories unless they have been configured.
Thus, 'make' in /fortran/src will break if Fortran has not been configured,
but 'make' in /fortran will not break.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper
Misc. update:
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.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
Misc. update:
Added Packet Table to high-level APIs
Description:
The Packet Table is an API that allows the user to append records
("packets") to a table, and read the back again. It supports
fixed-length records with a defined datatype and variable-length
records. It also supports a "current record" index to track the
user's position in the table.
Solution:
The Packet Table code lives in hl/src, and its tests in hl/test.
Some code is shared between the H5TB table and the H5PT Packet Table
in the form of functions in H5HL_private.c.
Some documentation exists for a previous version of the API. Updated
documentation and C++ wrapper API coming soon.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, eirene, copper, modi4
