Purpose:
New Test VL memory leak.
Description:
Test to see if VL type memory leaks when data is overwritten.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2(eirene), IRIX 6.5(paz).
Code cleanup
Description:
Windows is generating hundreds of warnings from some of the practices in
the library. Mostly, they are because size_t is 32-bit and hsize_t is
64-bit on Windows and we were carelessly casting the larger values down to
the smaller ones without checking for overflow.
Also, some other small code cleanups,etc.
Solution:
Re-worked some algorithms to eliminate the casts and also added more
overflow checking for assignments and function parameters which needed
casts.
Kent did most of the work, I just went over his changes and fit them into
the the library code a bit better.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered
vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit
platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned
int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and
unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to
16-bit architectures.
Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users
who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source
module (like Kent's h4toh5 library).
Solution:
Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New Features!
Description:
Start migrating the internal use of property lists in the library from the
older implementation to the new generic property lists.
Currently, only the dataset transfer property lists are migrated to the
new architecture, all the rest of the property list types are still using
the older architecture.
Also, the backward compatibility features are not implemented yet, so
applications which use dataset transfer properties may need to make the
following changes:
H5Pcreate(H5P_DATASET_XFER) -> H5Pcreate_list(H5P_DATASET_XFER_NEW)
and
H5Pclose(<a dataset transfer property list>) -> H5Pclose_list(id)
This still may have some bugs in it, especially with Fortran, but I should
be wrapping up those later today.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Update
Description:
Changed includes of the form:
#include <hdf5_file.h>
to
#include "hdf5_file.h"
so that gcc can pick them up easier without including the system
header files since we don't care about them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix (sort of)
Description:
The RCSID string in H5public.h was causing the C++ code problem as it
was included multiple times and C++ did not like multiple definitions
of the same static variable.
Solution:
Since we don't really make use of the RCSID strings as we have not
installed it in all source files, we decided to remove it.
Platforms tested:
eirene (linux), modi4 (IRIX64-64) both serial and parallel modes.
Backward compatibility code
Description:
Add in code to allow the library to emulate the v1.2 API and behavior.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Code bullet-proofing
Description:
There were several hard-coded values in various places in this test and
it wasn't checking for out-of-memory conditions very robustly.
Solution:
Changed hard-coded values to be computed values and performed better
checking for out-of-memory situations.
Platforms tested:
SGI O2K (modi4) and Solaris 2.6 (baldric)
----------------------
This extensive change is the virtual file layer implementation. I've
ported and tested the sec2, family, and core drivers and only ported
the mpio driver (Albert will test it). So if you need MPIO I would
recommend sticking with the previous version for a while.
You will get a few compile warnings about split and stdio drivers not
being implemented and possibly tracing information not inserted in
some of the drivers. You can safely ignore them but I plan to fix
them.
I'm still working on the split driver because I just realized that it
needs a part of the VFL that isn't written yet.
Documentation is being updated also because there were some minor
changes (mostly just name changes). It should be available on my web
site later this week.

Removed the H5F_OPT_SEEK and H5F_LOW_DFLT constants from the
configuration since they're no longer applicable. The default
file driver is always the sec2 driver and it always optimizes
calls to lseek() or lseek64().

Modified to work with the virtual file layer by calling H5FD_*
functions instead of H5F_low_* functions and by passing file
access and data transfer properties by object ID instead of
pointer.
Changed H5D_transfer_t to H5FD_mpio_xfer_t since the
COLLECTIVE vs. INDEPENDENT transfer mode is specific to the
MPIO file driver.
Moved MPIO-specific stuff into the MPIO driver.
./src/H5B.c
./src/H5D.c

The H5F_mpio_* private functions were renamed and placed in
the H5FDmpio driver except those which appeared in H5Smpio.c.
./src/H5E.c
./src/H5Epublic.h
Added major error number H5E_VFL for virtual file layer
related errors.
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
Changed the logic that controls whether the boot block is
written. Instead of assuming that the first call to write the
boot block is only to allocate space, I've added a function
argument which makes this explicit.
Changed the way files are compared so that a driver-defined
comparison function can be called. Files which belong to
different drivers are always considered different.
Removed H5F_driver_t since file drivers are now identified by
object ID instead of a special non-user-extendible datatype.
Removed all the hard-coded low-level file properties which
have been replaced by the various file drivers.
./src/H5I.c
./src/H5Iprivate.h
Added the H5I_inc_ref() which was removed a few months ago
since we finally have a use for it.
./src/H5Ipublic.h
Added the H5I_VFL object ID type to identify file drivers in
the virtual file layer.
./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
Moved all the allocation/deallocation code into the virtual
file layer which allows file drivers to override much of it.
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
Moved file driver-specific code into the various file driver
files.
The H5Pcopy() and H5Pclose() functions make calls into the
virtual file driver to manage the memory for driver-specific
file access and data transfer properties.
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5public.h
The `haddr_t' type is now public.
./test/tfile.c
Added a few more comments.
caused some strange problems on NT. crashed if the test for the compound type
was second when called from the command line but not if i clicked on the icon.
strange but this seemed to make it better
H5Tconvert calls.
Added tests to tvltypes.c which test arrays of VL compound datatypes,
array of compound datatypes with VL fields and arrays of nested VL sequences
of VL sequences of atomic types, all of which are working correctly.
