Platforms tested:
linux 2.2.18smp, IRIX64, solaris 2.7, windows 2000
Update, Bug Fix, and Feature Add
Description:
- Updated how AC_{ENABLE,WITH} help messages were being generated.
Autoconf now gives you an AC_HELP_STRING macro to use to create
them.
- Fixed the problem with Linux LFS on RedHat 7.3 machines. It wasn't
finding getdents64(), so we can't rely on that being present
anymore...
- Added GPFS detection and setting.
- Updated how compression is specified. It's no longer necessary to
test for HAVE_ZLIB_H, HAVE_LIBZ, and HAVE_COMPRESS2. The one macro
{H5_}HAVE_COMPRESSION takes care of all of these.
Solution:
Changed the check for Linux LFS from looking for getdents() to
looking at the version number of the kernel (using the uname -r
command). You can still override with the --enable-linux-lfs switch
if you really believe that your <2.4 kernel has LFS support.
Platforms tested:
Linux (2.2 and 2.4)
Bug Fix
Description:
C++ uses the "off_t" type for external files as well. I'm assuming
that there's going to be a problem with 4 byte off_ts and 8 byte
off_ts in the C++ code as well. I compiled everything on Linux and it
worked, but I don't think we have a check for this bug in the library
yet...

Bug fix
Description:
H5Ewalk_cb was being called from a C++ API, when it really is an
internal routine to the H5E interface.
Solution:
Removed C++ API wrapper for it.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Purpose:
New Feature - per library change
Description:
Added the new member function getMemberIndex to classes EnumType and
CompType to match the new C API H5Tget_member_index. Given the name
of a member of an enumeration or compound datatype, this new function
queries the index of the member.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 6.2 (eirene)
New Feature - per library change
Description:
Added new member function DataSet::fillMemBuf for the new
C API H5Dfill. Quincey's description of H5Dfill is as followed:
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.

Linux 6.2 (eirene)
Update
Description:
Changed so that the Fortran and C++ configures are named "HDF5
Fortran" and "HDF5 C++" resp. instead of just "HDF5.
Solution:
Add an extra parameter to the subroutine which generates the new
configure.in files.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Update
Description:
Updated the h5vers script to automatically update the configure.in
files so that they reflect the correct version in the AC_INIT line.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Update
Description:
Updated the way we used the AC_INIT macros so that it's current to
the new standard way and not deprecated anymore.
Also, added a test for some functions during parallel Fortran
configure. This required the creation of an H5config_fortran.h file
so that we can test for these...
Platforms tested:
Elena is going to test the changes to the fortran after she checks in
her other code. I will test on SDSC machines after getting her code.
The other changes were tested on Linux.
Feature Update
Description:
Modified the AC_OUTPUT macro to coincide with the now-standard
way of doing things. I.e., you put all of the files you want to
generate into the AC_CONFIG_FILES macro and invode AC_OUTPUT with
no parameters.
Platforms tested:

Autotools Update
Description:
I've updated autoconf, automake, and libtool to the latest/greatest
versions; 2.53, 1.6, and 1.4.2 resp.
Many changes come with the new versions:
- ltconfig is no longer used
- acconfig.h is no longer used (#define values are declared with
the macro)
- regeneration of all of the aclocal.m4, configure, and
H5config.h.in files.
- new config.{guess,sub} files
- new ltmain.sh file

DLL accommodation
Description:
In the inline constructor below:
DSetCreatPropList() : PropList( H5P_DATASET_CREATE) {}
H5P_DATASET_CREATE causes the famous "unresolved symbol" error
when building the Release version of dsets_cpp with DLL.
H5P_DATASET_CREATE uses H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_g, which is
imported from hdf5dll. The inline constructor used in dsets.cpp
causes the use of H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_g, which is then
considered undefined because dsets_cppdll is not using hdf5dll.
This only occurs in the Release version because the Debug build
disables inline.
Solution:
Made the affected constructor not inlined, i.e., its implementation
went in the cpp file.
Note that this problem does not occur in 1.4 branch because
H5P_DATASET_CREATE was defined differently, i.e., did not involve
external storage.

Purpose:
Adding support for dll
Description:
Added __DLLCPP__ to all public classes and templates.
Added #include "H5Include.h" to H5RefCounter.cpp because of the
use of DLLCPP in .h file and it needs the following chain:
H5Include.h/hdf5.h/H5public.h/H5api_adpt.h
Added #pragma warning(disable: 4251) to H5Exception.h to eliminate
this warning on private data members of type 'string.' This
occurs because 'string' is not yet instantiated at compilation
time; however, since the class is exported, the warning is
harmless.
Changed this member function's parameter to be passed as reference.

Description:
Shared C++ libraries aren't working on all platforms (read: Arabica).
We need to switch to the old method until we can sort this out.
Solution:
Re-add the "-static" flag to the library creation lines.
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
There were weird "throw()"s which were being placed into the
configure script. Some C++ compilers were barfing on this syntax
(which was akin to "extern int exit(int) throw ();" wonder why?).
Solution:
Ran a different autoconf on the configure file which I'd downloaded
from ftp.gnu.org. It doesn't have those "throw()"s anymore
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Shared libraries weren't being built for C++.
Solution:
Removed the -static flag from the libtool compile line. This allows
both shared and static libraries to be built instead of just static
ones. After talking with Quincey and Binh-Minh, there shouldn't be
any reason for C++ to be built static only.

Description:
Property that H5P(g|s)et_hyper_cache uses is no longer in use inside the

Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)

Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include

make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.

Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered
vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit
platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned
int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and
unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to
16-bit architectures.
Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users
who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source
module (like Kent's h4toh5 library).
Solution:
Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New Features!
Description:
Start migrating the internal use of property lists in the library from the
older implementation to the new generic property lists.
Currently, only the dataset transfer property lists are migrated to the
new architecture, all the rest of the property list types are still using
the older architecture.
Also, the backward compatibility features are not implemented yet, so
applications which use dataset transfer properties may need to make the
following changes:
H5Pcreate(H5P_DATASET_XFER) -> H5Pcreate_list(H5P_DATASET_XFER_NEW)
and
H5Pclose(<a dataset transfer property list>) -> H5Pclose_list(id)
This still may have some bugs in it, especially with Fortran, but I should
be wrapping up those later today.

Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match

If we need to specify a -R flag for dynamic libraries (like, in the
case when we specify --with-hdf4), then this flag needs to be added
to the linking line so that it will show up in the generated library

Bug Fix
Description:
If the user specifies where to look for a library (like the zlib) on

Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Description and Solution:
- Predefined type objects become outdated when the application calls
H5close and then H5open to use the library again.
Solution:
+ Reimplemented PredType using enum type to obtain up-to-date
values for predefined types, i.e. H5T_xxx_yyy's, when they
are used.
+ Added to PredType its own version of getId() to return the
appropriate predefined type id according to the enum value.
+ Made IdComponent::getId() a virtual function
- Since Albert already fixed the "multiply defined RcsId" problem,
removed the now become unnessary "#undef RCSID" from H5Include.h
- Added a check for func_name != NULL in one of the Exception
constructors because seg. fault. might occur in some situations.
- It is more convenient to make a copy of a datatype, dataspace,
or property list by using assignment operator
Solution:
+ Added assignment operator to DataType, DataSpace, and
PropList so that they will invoke H5Tcopy, H5Scopy,
and H5Pcopy, respectively, instead of just simply
copying the data members as for other classes. So,
now a type, space, or property list can be copied by
either :
mytype = original_type, or
mytype.copy(original_type)
Note that copy constructors are still just copying the
data members.
+ Added an assignment operator to DataType that takes a
predefined type.
+ Made IdComponent::operator= a virtual function

Feasibility improvement
Description:
- Some member functions in class Exception can be called without
an Exception instance exits, but because they are not static, they
cannot.
- Many exception throwings don't provide any information to callers.
Solution:
- Add 'static' to several member functions in class Exception.
- Added <class name::function name> to some exceptions thrown
in H5File.cpp and H5FcreatProp.cpp. I'm trying this for users'
comments. More information may be added later and to all
exceptions.
- Changed the comment line for emacs editor to:

Changed returned value from -1 to 0
Platforms tested:
Solaris (arabica)
Fixup
Description:
We were specifying a config file for the C++ stuff and it didn't need
one. This would cause problems with compiling the C++ stuff since it
wouldn't get the correct H5config.h file.
Solution:
Removed support for it.
Platforms tested:
Eirene
Purpose: bug fix
Description:
I found a couple of places where virtual destructors were missing
and could cause small memory leaks. Also, some destructors were
not virtual when they should be.
Solution:
- added virtual destructors, which also free dynamically allocated
memory
- added virtual to several destructors
- also, fixed several typos
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Fix and improve
Description:
- Put functions that are common to H5File and Group into a
prototype class, CommonFG. I didn't do that before because
of the fear of the consequences of multiple inheritance, since
H5File and Group already inherit from different super classes.
I recently read a C++ book and learned to use MI more safely.
This change reduced some more of code redundancy.
- Added missing const to some function parameters

Doh!
Description:
When adding the examples directory to the testing, forgot to
remove it from the other scripts in the makefile since it would
then be run twice.
Solution:
Removed it (saved the old code)
Platforms tested:
Hey! Trust me :)
Description:
Dec CC compiler doesn't support some new c++ features.
Some typos caused compilation erros on Dec Alpha.
Solution:
- Added macro BOOL_NOTDEFINED to define bool type on Dec
Alpha (gondolin) since its compiler doesn't support bool.
- Added macro NO_STATIC_CAST to prevent the use of the new
c++ feature static_cast since Dec CC compiler doesn't support.
- Added const to parameters of some functions to match the
functions' declaration and definition. Typos errors and
Dec CC complained.
Platform:
Solaris (arabica). Also tried to build on Dec Alpha but still
not linked due to some missing compiler flags; its compilation
went fine though.
Fix
Description:
When not building in the same directory, we needed to tell the
checker wherre to look for files.
Solution:
Put $(srcdir) before things which needed it.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Add
Description:
Adding a small amount of testing to the C++ library until "real"
testing can be created. (We use the examples).
Platforms tested:
Linux
Fix
Description:
Needed to change the extention to the file configure expects to
be in the source directory when Binh-Minh changed the extensions
for all the files.
Solution:
Did just that.
Fix
Description:
Windows couldn't handle the .C extension. The filenames had to be
changed to *.cpp instead.
Solution:
Changed in the Makefiles to accomodate said change.
Platforms tested:
Eyeballed.
Purpose:
Support portability
Description:
I forgot that source file extension .C will not work on Windows.
Solution:
Changed all source file from *.C to *.cpp for portability.
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Description:
The prototype of two C API functions, H5Tget_offset and
H5Sget_simple_extent_npoints was changed to fix bug #446,
resulting in the need for updating the two corresponding
C++ API functions.
Solution:
- Changed the return type of AtomType::getOffset from size_t
to int, and the error return value from 0 to -1.
- Changed the return type of DataSpace::getSimpleExtentNpoints
from hsize_t to hssize_t, and the error value from 0 to -1.
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Improvement
Description:
Made the Makefiles better.
Solution:
Added standard macros concerning where things are place. Like
libraries and so forth.
Platforms tested:
Linux
YABF
Description:
Needed to add the source directory for the built HDF5 library.
Solution:
Added -I../../src to the compile flags.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
When building in a different directory, we weren't picking up the
header files correctly. The -I flag wasn't pointing to the
correct place.
Solution:
Changed the -I flag to point to the C++ source directory.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Reversal of Patch
Description:
I thought that the solaris boxen could handle the -Wc,<flag> flag
(or, rather, that libtool would do the correct thing with their
compilers). However, this isn't the case, apparently.
Solution:
Removed the ``-Wc,-LANG:std'' flag and put it in the CPPFLAGS
macro instead. This should cause it to be passed to the compiler
only...one hopes...
Bug-ish fix
Description:
Spurious warnings would show up if libtool was trying to pass the
-LANG:std flag to the compile line.
Also, if the library is compiled with -all-static, then it would
complain about not finding dlopen and friends.
Solution:
Used the libtool -Wc,<flag> option to pass the -LANG:std flag to
the compile line.
Used ``-dlopen self'' when compiling.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug
Description:
Compiler needed both the -instances=global and the -LANG:std flag
to function.
libtools spits out a warning about not being able to find the
ANG:std library directory, but that's okay...it passes it to the
linker anyway.

Solution:
It was trying to remove the .f90 extension, of which there wasn't
one.
Platforms tested:

Buglet fix...
Description:
When configuring, configure would complain about there not being
a confdefs.h file.
Solution:
Added a src/H5config.h file which configure can generate. This
can be used for configure stuff later, but is empty now.

Bug fix
Description:
Namespace wasn't being detected properly.
Solution:
Changed it to do it properly (not putting the main() function in
the namespace);
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
libtool complained that the library name didn't have a ``lib''
prefix. Also, the $(top_srcdir) macro points to the top of the
c++/ directory, which was messing up the -I$(top_srcdir)/src
stuff. It needed to be changed to the correct value.
Solution:
Made it so

Bug fix
Description:
Configure wasn't picking up the LT_STATIC_EXEC stuff from the
top-level configure.

C++ API for 1.3.x branch
Description:
The *.C files are the sample code that perform some common
operations to an HDF5 file and its components.
The *.h5 files are the HDF5 files that are generated/used
by the sample programs.
Platforms tested:
Solaris (arabica) and Linux
C++ API for 1.3.x branch
Description:
The *.C and *.h files named different than those in 1.2.x.
They are in the form: 'H5' + classname, or just classname if
the classname is already prefixed with 'H5' to avoid ambiguity
in documentation context. This version has several hidden bugs
fixed and an improvement on the reference counting approach.
The classes and their inheritance structure are listed below:
---------------------------------------
H5Library
Exception
RefCounter
IdComponent
H5File
DataSpace
H5Object
Group
AbstractDs
DataSet
Attribute
DataType
PredType
EnumType
CompType
AtomType
StrType
IntType
FloatType
PropList
FileCreatPropList
FileAccPropList
DSetCreatPropList
DSetMemXferPropList
---------------------------------------
IdComponent uses RefCounter to keep track of opened objects
so proper termination of HDF5 objects can be maintained.
Each class has a .h file containing the class declaration and
a .C file containing its definition. In addition to the classes
files, the following files do not have class information:
- H5Cpp.h: header file to be included in user's application
- H5Idtemplates.h: contains a template function used by several classes
- H5Classes.h: contains forward class declarations
- H5CommonFG.*: contains common code used by classes H5File and Group
- H5Include.h: contains the hdf5.h header file and the #undef RCSID
to work around the problem: multiple defined RcsId
- H5Alltypes.h: simply serves as a container to hold the header
files of all datatypes to simplify the header file inclusion
Platforms:
Solaris (arabica) and Linux
