Description:
The Packet Table API used to have fixed-length and variable-length functions
(i.e., H5PTcreate_fl and H5PTcreate_vl), but in 2006, the vlen functions
were ifdef'ed out with VLPT_REMOVED, see HDFFV-442. The majority of this
revision includes removing unused vlen stuff, adding various vlen tests,
initial code cleanup, and first pass of commenting.
Details:
- Removed the VLPT_REMOVED ifdef, but keep H5PTis_varlen and the free
function because they are useful or even needed, but the free
function's name is changed to be more appropriate for both
read/write buffers, i.e., H5PTfree_vlen_buff.
- The new test file, test_packet_vlen.c, contains tests showing packet
tables, containing various types of vlen data, can be created with
the fixed-length function
- Two accessor functions were added per HDFFV-8623/patch 003.
/* Returns the ID of the dataset associated with the packet table */
hid_t H5PTget_dataset(hid_t table_id);
/* Returns the ID of the datatype the packet table uses */
hid_t H5PTget_type(hid_t table_id);
- Various cleanup: replacing 0/-1 with SUCCEED/FAIL and H5I_BADID with
H5I_INVALID_HID, and removing many warnings.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Linux/64 (platypus)
Darwin (osx1010test)
external dataset storage path behavior.
This check-in fixes a bug in the original check-in where the
external path stored in the file struct was not copied on reopen
causing subsequent dataset operations to fail.
Tested on: 64-bit Ubuntu 15.10 (Linux 4.2.0 x86_64) gcc 5.2.1
autotools serial w/ fortran and C++
autotools parallel (MPICH 3.1.4) w/ fortran
replace functions like h5_clean_files() that also do things like
reset the error handler and close fapls.
Existing tests have not yet been updated to use these new
functions.

autotools serial
--disable-symbols is specified and to ensure that production
mode (where symbol stripping is usually a part of the FLAGS)
doesn't conflict with --enable-symbols. This will allow better
(though still limited) debugging of production/optimized code.
The PGI, XLC, Intel, and Solaris files were not modified and
do not generate the symbol removal flag at this time. They'll
be updated in future check-ins. In the meantime, production
mode on those platforms still usually strips symbols.
This check-in also updates the Cygwin-specific files to use
the new autotools FLAGS and option scheme when uncommon
(non-gnu, etc.) Fortran compilers are used.
Tested on: 64-bit Ubuntu 15.10 (Linux 4.2.0 x86_64) gcc 5.2.1
autotools serial (prod/debug w/ and w/o symbols)
symbol presence/absence checked with objdump
platform-specific build information so the debug and production
flags are not clobbered.
Tested on: 64-bit Ubuntu 15.10 (Linux 4.2.0 x86_64) gcc 5.2.1
autotools serial (production & debug)
can be configured to generate extra debugging output in both
the autotools and CMake.
This can still be set by defining H5B_DEBUG manually or by
using a custom string in configure.
