HDFFV-7514 - GMQS: h5dump - improve effectiveness of testing scripts for handling expected output files
Description:
Fist phase for h5dump test update. Next phase will be for h5ls.
This is prerequisite for 'HDFFV-7602 Tools - upgrade tools' test scripts to share test files among tools, providing framework for test file re-usability.'
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE), Cmake (jam)
bug fixes
Description:
h5dump/h5ls were not displaying long doubles correctly
Solution:
1) the print datatype functions were incorrectly testing for the valid return value from H5Tequal,
(TRUE), causing the display of an incorrect name of a dataype in error cases from H5Tequal
2) h5tools_print_str did not have a case for native long double
3) added a file generator for a long double dataset
4) added one script test for the long double data (commented , some sytems don't have a native long double match, and the output differs)
5) added a vms file and h5dump script test
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
solaris
AIX
