Description: a new configure flag has been created that will now set a macro
in the test/Makefile. The flag is with-default-vfd=. When set to
a virtual file driver (e.g. "--with-default-vfd=sec2"), the macro
DEFAULT_VFD will hold this value.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew
file size from MPI_File_get_size. Bypass this problem by replacing it with
stat. Add an option --disable-mpi-size in configure to indicate this function
doesn't work properly. Add a test in testpar/t_mpi.c, too. If it returns wrong
file size, print out a warning.
Tested on kagiso (parallel) because already tested the same change to v1.6 on
several platforms (kagiso, cobalt, copper, and sol).
Bug fix
The H5TB_find_field function was not correctly finding a string field name amongst a string list of parameters of field names in cases where the name is similar up to n characters.
Solution: added an extra verify condition with the string length
Tested: kagiso, simple fix
Description: Multiple copies of Copyright appeared in Makefile.in. This was
due to automake copying the copyright right in the included files such as
config/commence.am.
Solution: Automake treats double hashes as comments and does not copy them
to Makefile.in. Changed all the copyright notices in config/*.am to use
double hashes for the Copyright right notice.
Tested: kagiso via bin/reconfigure.
Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
It seems that while Cygwin supports the time command, it has trouble with
the syntax
srcdir="../../hdf5/test" time ./testhdf5
and complains.
The solution is to test the above case in configure and not to use the time
command if it fails; Cygwin is fine with
srcdir="../../hdf5/test" ./testhdf5
Tested on Cygwin and kagiso. This feature shouldn't be a major compatibility
problem since every platform but Cygwin is already fine with the current
syntax.
The version of libtool used by HDF5 isn't directly affected by the reconfigure
script; instead, libtoolize --force must be used by hand. Libtool was the
source of the problem, so rolling its version back to 1.5.14 should solve the
issue (at least temporarily).
Reconfigure should still work on both heping and kagiso.
Tested on heping, kagiso, and tg-login3.
Should disable linking against shared libraries in Fortran for compilers that
don't support shared libraries.
Should also fix problem when the wrong Fortran file extension was specified.
If these changes don't solve the Daily Test issues, I'll look at backing out
the autotool version change until I have time to fix them.
Tested on heping, kagiso, juniper.
removed the function H5LTcreate_compound_type from the source directory.
this function was not being used. when it was written, it was meant to be an auxiliary function to be used on the table api, but it never had an usage
commented the H5LTrepack function with the
#ifdef NOT_YET
macro
it is also not being used
Clean up some compiler warnings and resolve some inconsistenceis between
hsize_t and size_t in the interface.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-1.6-compat
and quote its arguments. Also checks for the 'socket' library on
Solaris.
If this patch passes the Daily Tests and makes the user happy, I'll
port it back to the 1.6 branch.
Tested on mir and sol.
have an extra parameter that sets the deflate filter.
Added tests, made examples use the new APIs.
Cleaned up include files a little and removed some casts that I hope are
superfluous. If anybody encounters strange errors in the packet table
tests where the chunk size is set to some extremely large value, please
let me know, but I was unable to reproduce this error on any system.
Tested on mir, heping, sol, juniper, VS 6.0. Looked for the chunk size
error on several other systems a month or two ago.
Since these examples need to follow filesystem paths, the Makefiles need
to create directories in the examples directory; added this to the
Makefile.am.
Tested on Windows, mir, juniper
"make check-vfd" will now run all tests in the test directory with different
file drivers (at least, all of those tests that use the testing framework's
FAPL). Tests that fail will be skipped.
This is not a perfect fix, but is better than nothing.
Along with this change, check-vfd should be added to the Daily Tests.
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace in Makefile.am and C/C++ source files to make
diffing changes easier.
Platforms tested:
None necessary, whitespace only change
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
Bug fix - bugzilla #552
Description:
On Cray X1, trying to use : as an argument confused the system.
Solution:
Added a test in configure to see if : as an argument is bad.
If so, skipped the test.
Platforms tested:
mir, Cray X1 (change to configure only)
Description: Windows doesn't recognize "long long" but "long_long".
Solution: The library defined a more general type "long_long". Use
it instead.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Description: The current code in Yacc parser doesn't handle big-endian
machine for enum type correctly.
Solution: Depending on the super type of enum, use appropriate integer
type to pass in enum value.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Bug fix.
Description:
The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed
because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'.
The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr
but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather
clumsy.
Solution:
Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range
by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to
use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the
definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when
autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code.
The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from
configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay
because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti
using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.)
Misc. update:
Updated both INSTALL and RELEASE files.
new function
Description:
added H5LTfind_attribute as a public function, a wrapper for the already existing private function
H5LT_find_attribute
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Description: Yesterday, a definition of the macro YY_BUF_SIZE of 256KB
was committed in, but copper complained it can't be redefined.
Solution: Added #ifdef and #undef to make sure the macro is undefined
first. Also integrated a complicated compound type test. It reads
input from a text file. The datatype is unusually large, of 101 member
fields.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Description: The default size for input buffer of Lex is only 8K. Some
application has input string far bigger than it.
Solution: Increase the size by defining YY_BUFFER_SIZE to be 256K (262144)
in H5LTanalyze.l
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
