Bug Fix for bug #789
Description:
Creating a 1-D dataset region reference caused the library to hang (go into
an infinite loop).
Solution:
Corrected algorithm for serializing hyperslab regions.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Purpose:
Bug fix (#699), fix provided by a user, approved by Quincey
Description:
When a scalar dataspace was written to the file and then
subsequently queried with the H5Sget_simple_extent_type function,
type was reported H5S_SIMPLE instead of H5S_SCALAR.
Solution:
Applied a fix (see bug report 699) and modified out test program
to exercise the case.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 and Linux 2.2.18
Test Bug Fix
Description:
Under certain [obscure] circumstances, an object header would get paged out
of the metadata cache, and when it was accessed again and brought back into
the cache, and immediately had additional metadata added to it (an
attribute, usually, or perhaps adding an object to a group), and needed to
be extended with a continuation message, but there was no room in any
existing object header chunks for the continuation message and an existing
object header message needed to be moved to the new object header chunk (I
told you it was obscure :-), the object header message moved to the new
chunk (not the new metadata being added) would get corrupted. *whew* :-)
Solution:
Actually copy the "raw" object header message information of the object
header message being moved to the new chunk, instead of relying on the
"native" object header message information being re-encoded when the object
header is flushed. This is because when an object header is paged out of
the metadata cache and subsequently brought back in, the "native"
information pointer in memory is reset to NULL and only the "raw"
information exists.
[Actually, this additional testing doesn't trigger the bug, which needs
_lots_ of objects to be created and accessed, but it does execise the
object header continuation code more than other tests in the library.]
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) & FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Feature Enhancement
Description:
We can now set the MPI_Info object to more than one key/value
pairing. By setting the HDF5_MPI_INFO environment variable to a
semicolon separated list of "key=value" pairs, we can set the
MPI_Info variable to them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Feature
Description:
moved the routines of setting up and dumping MPI-info object to
test library so that it is avaiable for all tests too.
Platforms tested:
modi4(pp), eirene (serial)
Purpose:
added more tests to the H5set_extent function
Description:
there was a bug in the H5S_select_fill call when the fill value was not defined
added 2 more set of tests that call H5set_extent without the fill value being defined
there are now 4 sets of tests:
Test H5Dset_extent with chunks on the raw data cache, with and without fill value
Test H5Dset_extent with chunks written to file (b-tree routines), with and without fill value
Platforms tested:
w2000
linux
Bug Fix
Description:
Corrected int vs. unsigned short error that only showed up on big-endian
machines.
Also, add more testing to verify that the coordinates reported for each
element iterated through with H5Diterate are correct.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Bug Fix
Description:
Selection offsets were not being used correctly when iterating through
all hyperslabs selections and point selections.
Solution:
Use the selection offset appropriately.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Migrate from configure macros of XYZ_ABC to H5_XYZ_ABC
Description:
configure generates many macros definitions on the fly and
were stored in src/H5config.h which is included by H5public.h.
But other software that uses hdf5 may also run their own configure.
There can be a clash in macro name space. We decided awhile ago
to prepend all generated macros with "H5_" to avoid conflicts.
The process has started and this commit completes it (at least attempt
to).
Solution:
Many macros symbols (e.g. SIZEOF_xxx and HAVE_xxx were changed to
H5_SIZEOF_xxx and H5_HAVE_xxx). Then H5private.h no longer includes
H5config.h. This cuts H5config.h away from HDF5 source code.
Pending issues:
The module of fortran and pablo are to be resolved in a different
commit.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), arabica (solaris 7 --enable-fortran, --enable-cxx)
Purpose:
New feature
Description:
Allow H5Glink and H5Gmove to handle links across different locations.
Solution:
Added H5Glink2 and H5Gmove2 functions with new parameter of destination
location.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2(eirene)
Bug Fix.
Description:
When the fill value for a dataset is not set, the size is set to zero,
causing problems with filling unused areas in previously defined chunks
(i.e. when the dataset shrinks in size)
Solution:
Use the size of the elements in the dataset directly, instead of relying on
the size of the fill value (which must be the same size).
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Code cleanup
Description:
Previously, the I/O pipeline (pline), external file list (efl) and fill-
value (fill) structs were passed down the raw data function call chain,
even into and/or through functions which didn't use them. Since all three
of these pieces of information are available from the dataset creation
property list, just pass the dataset creation property list down the
function call chain and query for the information needed in a particular
function.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Bug fix
Description:
$(LT_RUN) was used to execute ./H5detect in src/Makefile.in.
$RUNTEST was set to $(LT_RUN) which was used to execute sequential
executable. $(LT_RUN) is "../libtool --mode=execute". But libtool
invokes some commands that are not supported in the Tflops machine.
That caused failures during the build and check processes.
Solution:
Upon investigation, there does not seem to be need to use $(LT_RUN)
any more. The "libtool --mode=link" now generates a "fake" executable
that is actually a command-script file that can regenerate the real
executable with dynamic libraries hooks setup properly.
Undo all those $LT_RUN substitute and let $RUNSERIAL execute those
sequential executables.
Platforms tested:
Eirene(serial), modi4(parallel)
Purpose:
windows support of socket function
Description:
gethostname is treated as socket function in windows and
it is defined at winsock.h.
for every windows socket function to be called, it must start
with WSAStartup and end with WSACleanup
Solution:
Add WSAstartup and WSACleanup with WIN32 macro.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000, confirmed at linux 2.2.18
New feature
Description:
Added h5_show_hostname to display the hostname of the host in
which the process runs. It can help identify location of process
in multiple processes or batch launching environments.
Platforms tested:
Eirene (pp)
Feature
Description:
Added option -c to allow skipping file system Checking. This allows
users to run the test even if the program thinks it may fill up the
file system.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Code cleanup
Description:
Platform dependent code related to the struct stat and fstat
calls polluted source codes. Hard to maintain.
Solution:
Platform dependent code are moved to H5private.h and then internal
code can #include H5private.h. Repeat those macro definition for
the stdio and multi drivers since they area examples for writing
a virtual file driver. They must not use any internal code.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), modi4 (serial including gass driver.)
Bug fix
Description:
When several level deep nested compound & VL datatypes are used, the data
in the nested compound datatypes is incorrectly sharing the same "background
buffer", causing data corruption when the data is written to the file.
Solution:
Allocate a separate background buffer for each level of the nested types
to convert. (Also allocate temporary background buffers for array
datatypes, where this sort of problem could occur also)
Added more regression tests to check for these errors.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) & Solaris 2.6 (baldric)
Purpose:
added a new file
Description:
new file that contains the framework for a new test, regarding a new ID to name
function. for the moment the program does nothing

Purpose:
New feature
Description:
Fill-value's behaviors for contiguous dataset have been redefined.
Basicly, dataset won't allocate space until it's necessary. Full details
are available at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/Fill_Value, at this moment.
These two file test backward compatibility with 1.4.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2.
Purpose:
test for the H5Dset_extent API function
Description:
there are 2 types of tests:
Test H5Dset_extent with chunks on the raw data cache
Test H5Dset_extent with chunks written to file
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000
SUN( arabica)
LINUX (eirene)
IRIX64 (modi4)
New Feature
Description:
Added new H5Dfill() routine to fill the elements in a selection for a
memory buffer with a fill value. This is a user API wrapper around some
internal routines which were needed for the fill-value modifications
from Raymond as well as Pedro's code for reducing the size of a chunked
dataset.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) [and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) in parallel, in a few
minutes]
Purpose:
New feature
Description:
Added a query function H5Tget_member_index for compound and enumeration
data types, to retrieve member's index by its name.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2
Bug Fix & Feature
Description:
The selection offset was being ignored for optimized hyperslab selection
I/O operations.
Additionally, I've found that the restrictions on optimized selection
I/O operations were too strict and found a way to allow more hyperslabs
to use the optimized I/O routines.
Solution:
Incorporate the selection offset into the selection location when performing
optimized I/O operations.
Allow optimized I/O on any single hyperslab selection and also allow
hyperslab operations on chunked datasets.

feature
Description:
Added -fsize <fsize> option which controls the family file size
used. This can be used to test the file size limits of a machine
or file system.
Platforms tested:
modi4 (passed even 20GB file size).
Eirene (started to fail when 2GB is used. Expected since linux 2.2
does not support large than 2GB file size.)
burrwhite (passed up to 4GB. Expected since Linux 2.4 supports larger
than 2GB file size.) Then it failed at 4GB and beyond. This is
probably a bug in the family file driver.
Bug Fix
Description:
Regression test for following bug:
The H5Gget_objinfo() function was not setting the 'fileno' field in the
H5G_stat_t struct passed in.
Solution:
Added a "file serial number" to each file currently open in the library
and put that in the 'fileno' field. If a file is opened twice (with
H5Fopen) and the VFL driver detects that it is the same file (i.e. the
two file structures have the same "shared file info" in the library's
memory structures), they will have the same serial number.
This serial number has two drawbacks:
- If a VFL driver doesn't/can't detect that two calls to H5Fopen with
the same file actually _are_ the same file, each will get a
different serial number
- If the same file is closed and re-opened, the serial number will be
different.
It is be possible to fix the second drawback for many VFL drivers, but it
would be a lot of effort and probably isn't worth it until we've got a
good reason to do it. Dunno if we'll ever be able to fix the first
drawback...

Bug Fix
Description:
Regression test for following bug:
When reading a contiguous hyperslab that spanned the entire dataset and
was larger that the type conversion buffer, the hyperslab routines need
to fill the type conversion buffer and then return to the I/O routines.
When the I/O routines resume the hyperslab operation, it was possible to
have a combination of coordinates which caused the hyperslab iterator
to incorrectly advance in the file, causing some data to be re-read or
re-written.
Platforms tested:
Linux (eirene)
Bug Fix
Description:
If a non-zero fill-value is used for a chunked dataset, any non-existent
chunked read with an "all" selection (or a contiguous hyperslab selection)
will return zero for those instead of the user's fill-value.
Solution:
Fixed I/O code to pass down fill-value to "optimized" I/O routines, so it
will be available to fill the user's buffer with.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Purpose:
fixed a bug that made a failure on H5Screate_simple, a 1D dimemsion array was declared instead of a 2D array
