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.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4 (parallel and serial), copper, shanti

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
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"
file from faster machines and will not run the test script as they should.
Solution:
Use 'basename' command to strip off the path of the script and create
the ".chksh" file in the build location.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
bug fix.
Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.
Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2. Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".
Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bugs that caused tests to be unable to find testhdf5.sh during
daily tests, and another that broke sol and shanti.
Solution:
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:
mir, shanti, heping
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:
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:
heping PP.
Added check-s and check-p targets.
Description:
Added check-s and check-p targets to 1.7 branch to match changes to 1.6
branch. Now parallel and serial tests can be run separately.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper

Description:
the fortran type integer*1 has become not portable.

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.

mir, pommier, modi4, copper, more
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.

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.

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
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,

Description:
modi4 dies during build with strange errors.
The root cause of these is a two-year-old hack in HDF5's libtool

the hack.
Also made sure that compiler-specific DEFAULT_LIBS are used
when linking.
