Description:
- Remove need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using shared szip library.
- Libtool 2.2.6a is now used to generate libraries.
- 'make check install' dependency bug is fixed, and should no longer
break the build.
- removed hard coding of shell in config/commence.am, as this causes
problems on Solaris with the new version of libtool.
- RELEASE.txt with appropriate changes.
Tested:
- kagiso, smirom, linew (merged from 1.8, pretty quick tests)
Description: Removing make target "check-perform". The extra target is unneeded
because the perform tests don't take as long to run as initially
anticipated, and can be lumped in with 'make check'.
Tested: kagiso
Improvement.
Description:
src/libhdf5.settings was the initial configure summary and is installed.
Then configure is changed to dump a summary of the configure settings to
the output and also append it to src/libhdf5.settings. That created
two different output formats and duplicated information. This is the
initial attempt to clean up this confusion and unify the output format.
It is decided to use the src/libhdf5.settings template as the unified means.
This requires more macros symbols be defined. The following symbols are
all related to generating the src/libhdf5.settings file.
AC_SUBST(EXTERNAL_FILTERS)
AC_SUBST(MPE) MPE=no
AC_SUBST(STATIC_EXEC) STATIC_EXEC=no
AC_SUBST(HDF_FORTRAN) HDF_FORTRAN=no
AC_SUBST(FC) HDF_FORTRAN=no
AC_SUBST(HDF_CXX) HDF_CXX=no
AC_SUBST(CXX) HDF_CXX=no
AC_SUBST(HDF5_HL) HDF5_HL=yes
AC_SUBST(GPFS) GPFS=no
AC_SUBST(LINUX_LFS) LINUX_LFS=no
AC_SUBST(INSTRUMENT) INSTRUMENT=no
AC_SUBST(CODESTACK) CODESTACK=no
AC_SUBST(HAVE_DMALLOC) HAVE_DMALLOC=no
AC_SUBST(DIRECT_VFD) DIRECT_VFD=no
AC_SUBST(THREADSAFE) THREADSAFE=no
AC_SUBST(STATIC_SHARED)
AC_SUBST(enable_shared)
AC_SUBST(enable_static)
AC_SUBST(UNAME_INFO) UNAME_INFO=`uname -a`
The src/libhdf5.settings.in has CONDITIONAL's added to it too. The
untrue conditions turned into a "#" and these lines are cleaned by the
post processing script.
Platform tested:
h5committest on kagiso, smirom and linew.
Description: Tests in perform directory were never getting run, and
h5perf* programs were not being installed.
Solution: Added another build option, 'make check-perform', which runs the
tests in the perform directory. Also modified the Makefiles in the
perform directory to install (with 'make install') h5perf when
parallel is enabled, and h5perf and h5perf_serial when parallel
is disabled.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew
Description: Applying update to autotools that was applied to 1.8 a couple
of weeks ago to the trunk.
Updated bin/reconfigure script to reflect the new versions of
libtool and automake in the /home1/packages/ directory.
Rearranged configure.in script. When using libtool 2.2.2, the
libtool script doesn't generate until later in the configuration
process, so I had to move a test that parsed through the libtool
script to a point after where it was actually being generated.
Ran libtoolize on the project, and ran bin/reconfigure to
regenerate configure and Makefile.in's throughout.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew (h5committest)
Add work-around to allow reading files that were produced with a buggy
earlier version of the library, which could create objects with the wrong
object header message count. There is now a configure flag
"--enable-strict-format-checks" which triggers a failure on reading a file
with this sort of corruption (when enabled) and allows the object to be read
(when disabled). The default value for the "strict-format-checks" flag is
yes when the "debug" flag is enabled and no when the "debug" flag is disabled.
Note that if strict format checks are disabled (allowing objects with
this particular kind of corruption to be read) and the file is opened with
write access, the library will re-write the object header for the corrupt
object with the correct # of object header messages.
This closes bugzilla bug #1010.

2) Removing configuration of c++/src/H5cxx_pubconf.h file.
Reasoning: the additional pubconf file caused compilation complications, this is cleaner.
Tested: kagiso, smirom
Description: added new configuration to generate a pubconf file
in the c++/src directory, H5cxx_pubconf.h. When C++
compiler recognizes 'offsetof', the macro
H5_CXX_HAVE_OFFSETOF is defined in the new
pubconf file.
tested: kagiso, smirom
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).
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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)
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.
Several bug fixes
Description:
Added config file for Cray X1 (previous file was misnamed)
Simplified some code in hyperslab.c test that seemed to have been
confusing compiler on Cray X1.
Fixed typo in config/commence.am
Cleaned up hl/src/Makefile.am
Solution:
All four fixes should be straightforward. The failure on Cray was
very difficult to debug, but involved arithmetic errors.
This change seems to fix it.
Platforms tested:
heping, copper, sol, some Cray X1 (more testing when system comes back up)
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
AIX
solaris
with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Previous checkin did a bad thing; 'make clean' failed in example directories.
Solution:
Fixed commence.am so that examples no longer break, and fixed a mistake
in conclude.am.
Platforms tested:
heping (minor makefile change)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
make check-clean didn't clean results of example tests
Solution:
Fixed Makefiles so that check-clean recurses into example directories.
Also a little Makefile cleanup.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, heping, copper
Moved gif2h5 tool to hl directory
Description:
Added a tools directory under the hl directory and moved the gif2h5 tool
to that directory.
Solution:
The gif2h5 tool was originally built in the tools directory, but this
introduced dependency issues that required special checks in the
Makefiles.am and required the top-level build order to be changed
because it depended on the HL library.
For simplicity in the Makefiles now and in the future, the gif2h5 tool
was moved to be underneath the hl library.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper, modi4, shanti
bug fix
Description:
the linking order in Makefile.am of the gif2h5 tool was causing linking errors on some configurations (pgcc, --disable-shared)
Solution:
changed the order of the linking (hl before hdf5)
Platforms tested:
linux, several configurations
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the build order of the several folders was causing linking errors
Solution:
changed the "." to be the last to avoid it
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
bug fix , bugzilla bug #1
Description:
the gif2h5 was not writing HDF5 images correctly
Solution:
use the Image API to write the image, rewrote the writing functionY
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Configure feature
Description:
Added 'make trace' target.
Solution:
Added tracing to 1.7. This was done automatically in 1.6, but left out
of 1.7 until now (oops!).
Tracing in 1.7 only happens manually, when the user types 'make trace.'
Tracing automatically requires more framework than it's worth.
I also fixed a couple of tracing bugs and ran trace.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Before this checkin, 'gmake check-s' would fail if there was a file in
the current directory named 'check-s'.
This is fixed under gmake (not sure how to fix for other makes).
Solution:
check, progs, install, etc. are what gmake calls "phony" targets,
which means that no file should be created. These targets can be
specified by a line of the form
.PHONY: check progs install ...
Automake adds this line for targets it knows about, but HDF5 has a
lot of custom rules. This checkin adds a .PHONY line for those rules.
I believe that only gmake recognizes the .PHONY line (at least, pmake
doesn't seem to), but a partial solution is better than none.
This error should occur very rarely anyway (the user has to manually
create files with names like 'build-check-s' or '_test').
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Added support for -shlib in h5fc and h5c++.
Made check-install use -shlib when only shared libraries have been installed.
Solution:
h5fc and h5c++ didn't recognize -shlib. Stole code from h5cc to link against
shared libraries.
When static libraries are disabled, the examples Makefiles will automatically
use the -shlib option to link against shared libraries. Thus,
--disable-static and make check-install should work together.
Platforms tested:
heping(disable-static, enable-static, fortran, c++), modi4 (disable-static, fortran, c++, parallel, enable-static)
Bug fix
Description:
Changed configure.in to use an environment variable TR to set the path
to the tr utility.
Solution:
There are two kind of tr on Solaris with slightly different syntax.
HDF5's configure relies on the "standard" tr. Traditionally, HDF5ers
have needed to make sure that the "right" tr was found before the
wrong one in their path; now they can use an environment variable.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sol
Misc. update:
Forgot to update release notes. Off to do that now.
Makefile bug fix
Description:
Previously, automake didn't output rules to build perform/mpi-perf or
the test/gen_* programs.
Now these can be built by typing 'make mpi-perf' (or 'make foo') or by
configuring with --enable-build-all.
Solution:
Automake doesn't like having rules for programs it doesn't build. Tricked
it by having these programs built "sometimes"--whenever the user enables
--build-all. This should be used mostly for testing and to ensure that
these helper programs compile.
***IMPORTANT***
These programs do *not* currently compile. When --enable-build-all is used
(not the default), gen_new_fill fails because it uses an old API. This is
an existing "bug" that has simply been exposed by this checkin.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Added the time command to the make check target to report time usage
of the execute of each test and test scripts. This gives us some idea
how long each test takes and some vague idea it is compute bound or
not.
powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
Change $RUNPARALLEL default setting to allow it being invoked by the
time command.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Feature
Description:
Added H5_CFLAGS, etc. to 1.7 branch.
Now compilation flags can be put in H5_*FLAGS and they'll be used when
building hdf5 but not in h5cc.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
