Changes default value for USE_SHARED_LIB in compile scripts to yes when static is disabled.
Comments in scripts about the order of flag variables containing library paths was also corrected.
Tested with h5committest on duck, jam, koala, and ostrich in addition to specific testing for the
compile script change.
Description:
+ The C++ test failed with the new PGI compilers versions 12.4 and 12.5
+ An exception thrown by an internal function, which was called by
a constructor, was not propagating to the test program during the stack
unwinding, so it couldn't be caught by the test and the program terminated.
+ Various trials and errors indicated that the problem is where an STD string
converted to a char* being passed to the internal function, but confirmation
has not been found yet. It could be a compiler bug.
Solution:
+ Added a try/catch in the constructor around the internal function and
re-throw the exception when it is caught. This is a workaround.
+ Unrelated minor fixes: removed unused variables and MESSAGE's; commented
out tvlstr.cpp/test_read_vl_string_attribute because it may be redundant,
and commented out H5Tpkg.h inclusion because TEST_ALIGNMENT is not added
yet and probably not necessary in the C++ API.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam) with PGI compilers
Linux/32 2.6 (jam) with GNU compilers
Linux/64 2.6 (koala)
during variable-length type conversion. All variable-length type conversion
buffers are now initialized to contain 0s on allocation.
Tested on: jam(w/ fortran, C++, parallel, parallel fortran)
ostrich
This is a very small change (basially changing malloc to calloc) and
is unlikely to cause issues on other platforms.
This turned out being an issue with configure. The reporter submitted a patch which fixed the fact that we should not be
setting AM_FCFLAGS (an automake variable) with FFLAGS (a user variable).
I removed this, and we now only set FFLAGS if the environment variable is set, otherwise we don't.
Tested: jam (gnu)
HDFFV-8214 - h5repack failed converting small chunked dataset (size < 1K) to contiguous layout.
Description:
h5repack failed converting small chunked dataset (size < 1K) to contiguous layout.
The first case was when chunk dim is bigger than the dataset dim (at leat one), h5repack failed with displaying error stacks.
The other case is when chunk dim is smaller than the dataset dim, h5repack failed to change layout.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), emu (solaris-BE),fred (mac64-LE), Windows (32-LE cmake), cmake (jam)
library. The intended functionality for them was never fully implemented
and they are fundamentally broken.
The functions were removed from the C and C++ interfaces. They were not
exported in the Fortran interface.
Tested on: jam(c++/fortran/hl)
I tested using check-vfd to ensure the multi VFD still works properly.
There is no reason to test this on other machines or on parallel.
