Description:
read/write APIs have been changed.
Solution:
Made necessary changes to the source code.
Platforms tested:
Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K, T3E
Purpose:
Code maintenance
Description:
read/write APIs have been changed.
Solution:
Made necessary changes to the tests.
Platforms tested:
Windows 98, Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K, T3E
Purpose:
Windows port
Description:
Multiple changes:
* Windows platforms require special compiler directives
in order to create DLLs.
* In read/write subroutines data arrays were passed by descriptor.
This worked on UNIX but did not work on Windows.
Solution:
* added compiler directives.
* read/write APIs have been changed. There is an additional
parameter (array that contains the sizes of data buffer dimensions)
and regular arrays are used instead of assumed-shaped arrays.
Platforms tested:
* Currently this feature does not work. Common blocks are not exported correctly
from one F90 module to another.
I am checking this in so I can ask DEC for help.
* For static library tests passed on Windows 98 ( except flush2_fortran)
All tests passed on Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K and T3E
Purpose:
Windows F90 port
Description:
all_withf90.zip file conyains all necessary projects to build
and test HDF5 library (both C and F90) on Windows platforms
Platforms tested:
Windows 98
Bug Fix
Description:
For parallel compiles, it needed the libtest.so library and wasn't
finding it.
Solution:
Added the path to the library to the rpath in the ltmain.sh file.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
New feature
Description:
Added a parallel HDF5 example. make check knows how to
run it in serial mode but not in parallel mode since the
current makefile has no provision for parallel code execution.
One would have to do it by hand (e.g., mpirun -np 2 ./ph4example)
Platforms tested:
modi4 (serial and parallel)
small bug fix
Description:
If specifying --stride, it was checking for the wrong short-form of
the command-line parameters.
Solution:
Changed the 'T' to 'S' which is the new short form for the stride
option.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix...
Description:
For the tools library, it needed to find the HDF5 library in the
`pwd`/../../src directory.
Solution:
Added `pwd`/../../src to the rpaths.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
(Final?) Bug Fix
Description:
Okay, for those of you following this saga:
Shared libraries weren't being found on the O2K system. Why not?
Well, turns out that libtool is dain bramaged. Instead of
creating executables for executables, it creates shell scripts.
These shell scripts actually recompile the code, relinking it
with the "correct" libraries. It's similar to when it goes to do
an install. It recompiles to the binary so that it picks up the
proper libraries. BUT! Libtool wasn't placing into the shell
scripts where the shared libraries it was looking for actually
were.
Solution:
I hacked up ltmain.sh so that it puts the required dynamic library
directories into the compile line when it creates the
shell-script/binaries.
Platforms tested:
Modi4...
Bug Fix.
Description:
Setting a non-zero userblock size was causing raw data caching code to
break.
Solution:
Changed from using absolute end-of-address-space offsets in cache size
calculations to relative offsets.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Bug Fix
Description:
The fix I put in on Friday wasn't working properly.
Solution:
Changed some single quotes to double quotes so that the macros are
expanded and set "command_finalize" to the newest values I created.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Bug Fix
Description:
The compiler on Modi4 (and possibly other machines) couldn't handle a
long string being passed in with the -Wl, flag.
Solution:
Wrote some script which separates the string being passed into
multiple flags with "-Wl,-rpath -Wl," before them.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Bug fix.
Description:
'make distclean' is broken on FreeBSD 4.3, with some syntax errors. I have
a feeling that the make command is more picky in FBSD 4.3 than in 4.2 which
is what is causing these errors to crop up now.
Solution:
Add missing semicolon to line in 'clean' target and take out bogus '-'s
in front of "$(RM)" commands which are already in if's
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Repair damaged HTML coding (caused by the Netscape editor)
and restore additions since that damage occured.
Add h5dump subsetting material.
Description:
Reverted to earlier version to restore HTML coding.
Re-entered h5dump XML material and explanatory comment re h5dump
flag parameters.
Added h5dump subsetting material.
Other editing and formatting within h5dump description.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Bug fix and clean up.
Description:
The part that should test 4GB was actually testing 2GB due to
typo.
Solution:
Corrected the typo to use 4GB constant. Rearranged the code
to group 2GB and 4GB tests in their own. Removed some duplicated
testing code.
Platforms tested:
modi4.
Purpose:
Label for "R 1.5, Unrelease Development Branch".
Description:
Changed appropriate subtitle line and appropriate footer.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Cleanup
Description:
If there isn't anything to "remove" during the cleanup faze. This
stops the "make clean"s from printing out:
rm -f
all of the time.
Solution:
Check if hte macros have anything in them before calling the rm.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Improvement
Description:
The DIFF used to keep running after detecting significant code changes.
This was done in order to see all changes but no one seems to look
at the diff any more. So, let it end the DIFF cycle once it determines
there are enough differences for a new test.
Added "install install-doc uninstall uninstall-doc" to the test
cycle.
Platforms tested:
Eirene, gondolin, modi4
Update
Description:
If the count for a subset isn't specified, then we default to the
remainder of the dataset.
Solution:
Check for the count to be specified. If not, then find the dimensions
of the dataset and subtract from the the "start" parameter.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
On the T3E, the hack about SUBDOCDIR macro didn't work cause it
wanted an actual value to be in this macro. Well, it wasn't, so now I
check that it actually has a value.
Solution:
Check that DOCDIR and SUBDOCDIR have a value before trying to do
anything with it.
Portability changes
Description:
Very quick port to Compaq (nee DEC) Alpha OSF5.
Solution:
Added a new "dec-osf5.x" configuration file and changed configure.in
to look for it.
The local test machine is now passing all the tests, except I can't get
the "-L<path>" stuff to work, so tools which depend on the HDF4 library
around tested.
Platforms tested:
Compaq Alpha 5.1 (compaq.ncsa.uiuc.edu)
Bug Fix
Description:
If we need to specify a -R flag for dynamic libraries (like, in the
case when we specify --with-hdf4), then this flag needs to be added
to the linking line so that it will show up in the generated library
and other programs linking to that library will be able to find the
relevant libraries.
Solution:
Added the DYNAMIC_DIRS macro to the link line.
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
a bug fix for dumptest batch file

Solution:
adding daylight factor in this file
Platforms tested:
windows 2000, confirmed at eirene
Update
Description:
Updated the way the subsetting data is retrieved. It now does it one
row of blocks at a time. It may still run out of memory, but this is
at least a good first step.
Also, the start parameter defaults to (0, 0, ...) if it isn't
specified.
