Description:
In some rare instances, FC (diff equivalent) command on Windows will fail when comparing ASCII files with opposite line-ending formats (Unix uses LF, while Windows uses CRLF). This was an issue for one test case in our test script. It only came up when testing from a release tarball, because the expected output was not converted to Windows-style. In this situation, FC was reporting false differences.
To workaround, we double-check failure cases and convert the EOL characters if neccessary.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
In previous versions of Windows, the builtin 'FC' command (diff equivalent) didn't return proper exit status. As a work-around, we parsed the message returned to check status. This relies on English return messages.
In current Windows XP and Windows Vista, FC will return exit status as expected, so we can remove this workaround. Older platforms where we would need this workaround are no longer supported.
Tested:
VS2005 on Windows XP
Small test on Windows Vista
Description:
-- Add new source files to Windows projects: H5Pdeprec.c, H5Pint.c, H5Ddbg.c, H5Dint.c
-- Add new h5dump XML tests to Windows test script
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
