Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN
Linux 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Misc. update:
Refactor code
Description:
Refactor common code for determining the native type for using in the
tools into separate routine.
Also, reduce diffs between the two branches and bring back some fixes from
the development branch to the release branch.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
bug fixes
Description:
the return error code for a function was not initialized.
in HP-UX it happened that this variable was initialized to -1
causing the function to return with an error condtion
solution : initialized the variable to 0
the name of the dataset was printed after the differences in verbose mode
and report when differences were found
solution : check first if differences were found and then
print the name of dataset and differences
in verbose mode always print the name first
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
aix
solaris
Misc. update:
h5diff and h5repack changes
Description:
h5diff
introduced the following four modes of output:
Normal mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured
Report mode: print the above plus the differences
Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings
Quiet mode: do not print output (h5diff always returns an exit code of 1 when differences are found)
h5repack
added an extra parameter for SZIP filter (coding method)
the new syntax is
-f SZIP=<pixels per block,coding>
(pixels per block is a even number in 2-32 and coding method is 'EC' or 'NN')
Example of use:
./h5repack -i file1 -o file2 -f SZIP=8,NN -v
updated usage messages, test scripts and files accordingly

solaris
Misc. update:
dumper new features
Description:
1) added options for not printing : datasets, groups, datatypes, links
2) added a section for the user block
3) in the traversal routine, added the printing of an arrow for soft links and t
he word HARDLINK for hardlinks
the print of the file contents is made during traversal , instead of at the e
nd of it (this is helpful
for very large files, where the wait time can be very long)
4) changed the description of the fill value properties
5) added a colon after the printing of the array indices

Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up lots of warnings based on those reported from the SGI compilers
as well as gcc.
Platforms tested:
SGI O3900, IRIX64 6.5 (Cheryl's SGI machine)
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/ & w/o parallel
h5committest
added h5repack and h5diff support for copying and differences of references to dataset regions
modified the behaviour in the diff of attributes, when a difference in name is detected
in the attribute cycle (number of attributes of object), instead of exiting the
cycle, rather continue
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux

Description:
addded the copy routines for hard links
changed the traversal structure to store information about the hard links
added tests
Solution:

Misc. update:
h5diff improvment
Description:
changed a call to exit(1) for return -1 for user friendiness in the h5diff function
in the case that H5Fopen fails
Solution:
Platforms tested:
