compression test.
Tested that the file is removed on juniper and heping.
Running reconfigure also regenerated the H5E* files (I think this means
somebody updated these files but didn't run reconfigure).
have an extra parameter that sets the deflate filter.
Added tests, made examples use the new APIs.
Cleaned up include files a little and removed some casts that I hope are
superfluous. If anybody encounters strange errors in the packet table
tests where the chunk size is set to some extremely large value, please
let me know, but I was unable to reproduce this error on any system.
Tested on mir, heping, sol, juniper, VS 6.0. Looked for the chunk size
error on several other systems a month or two ago.
Makefile feature
Description:
'make check-clean' now cleans *.h5 files created by tests as well as
.log and .chkexe files.
Solution:
check-clean is now a separate target in its own right, which cleans less
than mostlyclean (check-clean < mostlyclean < clean < distclean).
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, modi4 (serial and parallel)
Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
Added Packet Table to high-level APIs
Description:
The Packet Table is an API that allows the user to append records
("packets") to a table, and read the back again. It supports
fixed-length records with a defined datatype and variable-length
records. It also supports a "current record" index to track the
user's position in the table.
Solution:
The Packet Table code lives in hl/src, and its tests in hl/test.
Some code is shared between the H5TB table and the H5PT Packet Table
in the form of functions in H5HL_private.c.
Some documentation exists for a previous version of the API. Updated
documentation and C++ wrapper API coming soon.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, eirene, copper, modi4
Bug fix
Description:
Discovered two small bugs.
When MAKE is defined as the empty string, a test in configure incorrectly
identifies it as pmake. Skipped this test if $MAKE is the empty string.
Two .h5 files produced by a test in the hl directory were not cleaned.
Updated the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4 (very minor changes)
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Parallel builds were breaking in tools/lib
Solution:
talign didn't realize it depended on libh5tools.la because its
dependencies listed the full path (../../tools/lib/libh5tools.la).
Changed this, and made similar changes in a couple of other
directories.
This checkin should also add the --foreign flag to every Makefile.in
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (minor change)
