Bug fix
Description:
Before this checkin, 'gmake check-s' would fail if there was a file in
the current directory named 'check-s'.
This is fixed under gmake (not sure how to fix for other makes).
Solution:
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').
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
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.
Bug fix
Description:
Failed parallel tests now cause make to exit with an error.
Solution:
Edited config/conclude.am to throw an error if parallel test programs fail.
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4
new h5diff test
Description:
added a test to the test h5diff script that compares a file to itself.
this test is done to test some features of the library that
open the same file and the root group twice

Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
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:
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.
Platforms tested:
h5committested and also hand tested in heping pp mode.
h5diff new feature
Description:
a user asked for the message
"Some objects are not comparable"
to be more noticeable
Solution:
--------------------------------
Some objects are not comparable
--------------------------------
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Added the time command to the make check target to report time usage
of the execute of each test and test scripts. This gives us some idea
how long each test takes and some vague idea it is compute bound or
not.
powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
Change $RUNPARALLEL default setting to allow it being invoked by the
time command.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Feature
Description:
Added H5_CFLAGS, etc. to 1.7 branch.
Now compilation flags can be put in H5_*FLAGS and they'll be used when
building hdf5 but not in h5cc.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
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.
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't
support them.
This allows other compilers to support shared Fortran libraries.
Solution:
Added a conditional, SHARED_FORTRAN_CONDITIONAL, which is true if
Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
tidy up.
Description:
MPE option created *.clog file whenever it is executed in MPI.
The cleanup of *.clog files were done in individual Makefile.in.
Often, it is forgotten.
Solution:
Moved the cleaning of *.clog files to CHECK_CLEANFILES in commence.am
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
Misc. update:
minor tidy up.
Description:
Changed both test programs and test scripts to use the same suffixes
(.chkexe and .chklog). Changed from .log to .chklog to avoid running
into potential conflicts by other "things" (e.g., config.log).
Tested:
Heping.
Feature and bug patch
Description:
Added the SKIP feature which skips a test.
The latest code will hang the very last test. Skip that test for now.
Platforms tested:
heping pp.
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.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches
difficult.
Solution:
Ran this script in each directory:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix & code cleanup
Description:
Fix another bug in the file mounting code and refactor the unmount
code that it is simpler.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix and improvement.
Description:
The test output were not displayed for parallel tests.
The serial tests output were always displayed whether the test was
actually ran this time or not.
Solution:
Moved the display of test output inside the target where the actual
tests are run.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping using pp and fortran.
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
log file and the test instead of generating them repeatedly. This
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:
h5committested.
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.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4 (parallel and serial), copper, shanti
Bug fix
Description:
The testh5diff.sh script fails on mcr because of random srun messages
thrown into the output
Solution:
Added some code to filter out the srun messages before the output is compared.
Platforms tested:
LLNL mcr
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 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.
Platforms tested:
heping (pp), sol (pp)
Misc. update:
modified the script test so that when the test files do not exist , they are created
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
when 2 objects were not comparable, the final print information for the non verbose mode printed "0 differences found"
Solution:
replaced instead with a Summary message that says
"Some objects were not comparable"
Platforms tested:

solaris
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
The actual stderr output was modified by the FILTER and was not
available for display if errors detected later.
Solution:
Copy the actual stderr to a temporary file and do filtering on that.
Platforms tested:
LANL Flash.
Misc. update:
Improvement.
Description:
assign testph5diff.sh to the Parallel test scripts so that
it will be tested for the check-p target.
Platforms tested:
heping pp.
Misc. update:
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
Bug fix
Description:
Various system or software (e.g. MPE) will print some diagnosis
messages to stderr that cannot be suppressed. They messed up
the output matching. Installed the STDERR_FILTER() to remove
all these messages.
Platforms tested:
LANL flash.
Misc. update:
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.
Platforms tested:
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.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, mir
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.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
