fseek64 was used to support large file access for the STDIO driver back in
version 1.2.2 in year 2000. Some how it was not included in version 1.4.0.
Now, fseeko64 is used to support large file. There is no more need for fseek64
which is not a standard call. Removed its presence from configure and related
files.
Tested: jam for configure only.
In some machine (Linux), when --disable-largefile is used, it claims it has
fseeko64 but off64_t is NOT supported. Moved the test of fseeko64 and ftello64
to where fseek64 is so that they are tested only if off64_t is supported.
Tested: h5committested.
Removed the recognition of parallel compilers of LAM (hcc) and ChMPIon (cmpicc)
since we have no access to these two MPI implementations and decided not to
support them any more.
Test: Jam using parallel tests:
1. use CC=mpicc and confirmed it is recognized as a parallel compiler;
2. use CC=hcc and confirmed it is NOT recognized as a parallel compiler
any more.
PHDF5 changed to use "mpiexec", instead of mpirun, as the default MPI
applications startup command as defined in the MPI-2 definition, section
4.1. Note that only mpich related (using mpicc command) definitions are
changed to mpiexec. Other favors like hcc, AIX, champion, are not changed
since I don't have a way to verify them yet.
Tested:
jam and amani, using both current and new mpich.
Did not h5committested since this affects PHDF5 configure only.
Improve configure's large-file support control.
Description:
Modified configure to now attempt to add defines necessary for
supporting largefiles on all systems, instead of solely on linux. This
is in response to user requests to enable largefile support on Solaris
by default, as well as to give extra control on AIX (instead of just
jamming the necessary flag into the config files).
The old --enable-linux-lfs flag has been removed in favor of the
--enable-largefile flag (enabled by default), which can be used on all
platforms.
On systems where large files cannot be supported in this manner,
configure will report as such.
Tested:
h5committest
AIX (NCSA's blue_print machine)
duty, liberty, and linew.
Description:
longjmp do not necessary restore signal that is blocked during the signal
handling. This caused the Alignment test to fail quietly, resulting in wrong
alignment information which will cause failures later.
Solution:
One can use sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to restore signal handling but not all systems
such as Cray XT or VMS supports sigsetjmp. Backup solution is to use
sigprocmask to reset the signal. Again, some systems may not support it either.
Added code to try the first and then the second solution. Also added tests
to verify if the signal_handler routines are working properly. Finally, added
code to print results of the verification (in form of comments) to H5Tinit.c
for inspection in case of failure.
(Note that many platforms do not have alignment limits at all and ALIGNMNET
code never raise the SIGBUS or SIGSEGV errors. In those cases, it does not
matter whether the signal handlers work or not. Again, this can be deduced
from the results comments near the end of the H5Tinit.c. If the sum of signal
handlers called equals the total of verify, it means ALIGNMENT does not raise
any signals.)
For configure.in and configure:
Added the test for setjmp, sigsetjmp, sigprocmask which are used by the
H5detec.c.
Tested:
htcommittested, jam(serial).
size of nested compound type are calculated by using H5T_cmp_offset. The old way had a bug
in it (see bug #1850).
Tested on jam. I tested the same change for 1.8 on amani, linew, and jam.
Re-run bin/reconfigure to catch up with recent rearrangements, remove some
unused srcdir headers and duplicated code in main test header.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.6.2 (amazon) w/debug & prod
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Clean up srcdir querying code more, extracting it into single header file,
to avoid compiler warnings.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.6.2 (amazon) w/debug & prod
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Unify srcdir handling for test executables and allow them to use the srcdir
setting from configure time without requiring the 'srcdir' environment variable
be set (although you still can, to override the built in setting). Attempted
to get this right for Windows builds also.
Also add dependency between src/H5Tinit.c and src/libhdf5.settings, so
that the test/testcheck_version.sh script works correctly.
Tested on:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Mac OS X/32 10.6.2 (amazon)
Handle external links from symlinked files by adding another check to

instead of from the location of the symlink.

Add detection for POSIX lstat() routine to configure script (mostly for
non-UNIX/Linux machines) and add macro wrapper for it.
Alphabetatize the system/library calls we test for, to make them easier

Configure Cleanup
Description:
Make all AM_CFLAGS visible in CFLAGS during configure so all checks
have full visibility of any set flags.
Tested:
h5committest
configure cleanup
Description
1. Removed check that disables shared libraries when pgcc is used. Apparently
they previously did not work with libtool 1.5.14 and on mir, neither of
which is in use anymore. Testing on jam and amani appear fine, so this
check is unnecessary.
2. Removed check that disables shared C++ libraries when -xarch is used to
enable 64 bit mode. We now use m64 flag to build 64 bit binaries, so
we shouldn't explicitly disable shared C++ libraries if -xarch is
discovered.
3. Removed old configure output summary section from configure.in, since
we now use the libhdf5.settings file.
4. Updated powerpc-ibm-aix5.x config file to once again put c99 flag into
H5_CFLAGS (and thus NOT get into h5cc), as decided in our dev meeting.
Tested:
h5committest
full build with pgcc on jam / amani
Platforms tested: jam (trivial change)
Note: Most of the Fortran compilers create module files with "mod" extension.
In the past, I believe, there were systems (Cray?) that used different
extensions. We should add those to the current fix when we find them.
Configure / Config File Fixes
Description:
1. Made AM_CPPFLAGS assignments in configure a bit safer. (i.e., check to
ensure include paths exist before adding them to AM_CPPFLAGS).
2. Change AIX config file to add -D_LARGE_FILES into AM_CXXFLAGS instead
of H5_CXXFLAGS (same with *_CFLAGS). This will propagate it into
h5c++, where it is needed to compile correctly.
3. Added missing line containing AM_CFLAGS to configure output summary.
Tested:
h5committest, and uP (AIX machine, via Albert).
Configure Fix
Description:
uP (AIX Machine) was failing because configure needs to see -k flag in
FCFLAGS for some checks to behave as intended. Since the config files
were switched to passing all flags into H5_FCCFLAGS, this broke this
behavior.
To allow configure to see this again, FCFLAGS and all other user flags
are saved before doing anything, and restored at the end of configure,
so if needed we can set these values in configure and/or the config/
files without (permanently) overriding or changing anything a user sets.
Also modified the powerpc-ibm-aix5.x config file to once again put -k
into FCFLAGS in addition to H5_FCFLAGS (the former of which will be
restored after configure completes the checks).
Tested:
h5committest (jam and amani finished, linew still running, though
I wanted to get this in for daily tests since it needs to be run on
uP for final verification).
