removed the function H5LTcreate_compound_type from the source directory.
this function was not being used. when it was written, it was meant to be an auxiliary function to be used on the table api, but it never had an usage
commented the H5LTrepack function with the
#ifdef NOT_YET
macro
it is also not being used
Clean up some compiler warnings and resolve some inconsistenceis between
hsize_t and size_t in the interface.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-1.6-compat
and quote its arguments. Also checks for the 'socket' library on
Solaris.
If this patch passes the Daily Tests and makes the user happy, I'll
port it back to the 1.6 branch.
Tested on mir and sol.
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.
Since these examples need to follow filesystem paths, the Makefiles need
to create directories in the examples directory; added this to the
Makefile.am.
Tested on Windows, mir, juniper
"make check-vfd" will now run all tests in the test directory with different
file drivers (at least, all of those tests that use the testing framework's
FAPL). Tests that fail will be skipped.
This is not a perfect fix, but is better than nothing.
Along with this change, check-vfd should be added to the Daily Tests.
Feature
Description:
Revised Link APIs.
Solution:
New link APIs use H5L*
H5*create_expand do not create links to the objects created; this must
be done manually with H5Llink.
Added APIs to link an object given its ID (H5Llink), to copy links (H5Lcopy),
and changed creation APIs (H5Lcreate_hard and H5Lcreate_soft) and query
API (H5Lget_linkinfo instead of H5Gget_objinfo).
All old APIs are still supported in H5Gdeprec.c .
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, copper
Misc. update:
Forgot to update MANIFEST and release docs. Will do after checkin.
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace in Makefile.am and C/C++ source files to make
diffing changes easier.
Platforms tested:
None necessary, whitespace only change
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
Bug fix - bugzilla #552
Description:
On Cray X1, trying to use : as an argument confused the system.
Solution:
Added a test in configure to see if : as an argument is bad.
If so, skipped the test.
Platforms tested:
mir, Cray X1 (change to configure only)
Description: Windows doesn't recognize "long long" but "long_long".
Solution: The library defined a more general type "long_long". Use
it instead.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Description: dtype_file.txt is a text file for testing complicated compound type
for H5LTtext_to_dtype(). dtype_file_readable.txt is just a human-readable version
of dtype_file.txt for debugging purpose.
Platforms tested: No test.
Description: The current code in Yacc parser doesn't handle big-endian
machine for enum type correctly.
Solution: Depending on the super type of enum, use appropriate integer
type to pass in enum value.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Bug fix.
Description:
The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed
because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'.
The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr
but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather
clumsy.
Solution:
Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range
by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to
use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the
definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when
autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code.
The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from
configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay
because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti
using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.)
Misc. update:
Updated both INSTALL and RELEASE files.

Misc. update:
Description: Yesterday, a definition of the macro YY_BUF_SIZE of 256KB
was committed in, but copper complained it can't be redefined.
Solution: Added #ifdef and #undef to make sure the macro is undefined
first. Also integrated a complicated compound type test. It reads
input from a text file. The datatype is unusually large, of 101 member
fields.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Description: The default size for input buffer of Lex is only 8K. Some
application has input string far bigger than it.
Solution: Increase the size by defining YY_BUFFER_SIZE to be 256K (262144)
in H5LTanalyze.l
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.

Code cleanup
Description:
Big clean up on high-level library code, including:
- Removing include of HDF5 private header file(!)
- Reduce number of compiler warnings
- Untangle header files, etc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & FORTRAN
Several bug fixes
Description:
Added config file for Cray X1 (previous file was misnamed)
Simplified some code in hyperslab.c test that seemed to have been
confusing compiler on Cray X1.
Fixed typo in config/commence.am
Cleaned up hl/src/Makefile.am
Solution:
All four fixes should be straightforward. The failure on Cray was
very difficult to debug, but involved arithmetic errors.
This change seems to fix it.
Platforms tested:
heping, copper, sol, some Cray X1 (more testing when system comes back up)
Bug fix
Description:
When variables were declared in for loops C++ compiler on Cray X1 scoped
them oddly, leading to compilation errors.
Solution:
Moved variable declarations out of for loops (where they probably shouldn't
have been anyway) to the beginning of the function.
Platforms tested:
mir, Cray X1 (minor change)
Anti-feature
Description:
Revert changes to H5G_stat_t struct, to make it compatible with the 1.6.x
branch again. The information that was added to the H5G_stat_t struct will
be reported through other API routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & Fortran
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
bug fixes
Description:
some function calls had integer constants in the argument list;
these caused size mismatches on some platforms (hsize_t expected)
Solution:
declared hsize_t variables or added casts
Platforms tested:
linux (heping)
solaris
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Previous checkin did a bad thing; 'make clean' failed in example directories.

Bug fix
Description:
Add the hl/fortran/examples & hl/tools directories to the list of
directories targeted by mostlyclean/clean/distclean.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Moved gif2h5 tool to hl directory
Description:
Added a tools directory under the hl directory and moved the gif2h5 tool
to that directory.
Solution:
The gif2h5 tool was originally built in the tools directory, but this
introduced dependency issues that required special checks in the
Makefiles.am and required the top-level build order to be changed
because it depended on the HL library.
For simplicity in the Makefiles now and in the future, the gif2h5 tool
was moved to be underneath the hl library.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper, modi4, shanti
Added HL examples
Description:
Examples existed for the HL lite, image, and table interfaces, but
were never included in the distro... until now!
Solution:
Added source files to CVS, updated Makefile and MANIFEST.
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, shanti

H5LTget_dataset_info did not allow for passing NULL in the arguments when that argument was not requested.:
Solution:
add conditions that allow to pass NULL in the return arguments, when one of them is not needed
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Change to release script
Description:
Silenced doxygen's output when bin/release doc is run. Now if doxygen
has an error the release script will exit.
Someone forgot to run reconfigure after a Makefile.am, so testing the
release script seems to have had the side effect of regenerating a
Makefile.in.

Description: Revise a few details of H5LTtext_to_dtype() and H5LTdtype_to_text(),
1. changed the DDL definition of string, opaque, and compound types.
2. added a new parameter of H5LT_lang_t type to these two functions.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Copyright fix
Description:
The packet table examples were breaking the copyright checking script.
Fixed them.
Also caught a one-line copyright problem in another file.
Platforms tested:
Only changed comments.
Description: Renamed lex.yy.c to H5LTanalyze.c, y.tab.c to H5LTparse.c, and
y.tab.h to H5LTparse.h in hl/src. Changed definition of opaque type to ommit the tag.
Changed the test for opaque type in hl/test, too.
Platforms tested: h5committest, fuss, and sleipnir.
Misc. update: MANIFEST
Description: The g++ compiler on sleipnir doesn't like variable name
"class". There're also some other warnings.
Solution: Changed "class" to another name and fixed the warnings.
Platforms tested: sleipnir - simple changes.
Description: This is the second step of conversion between data type and
text, H5LTdtype_to_text().
Solution: Similar to h5dump, this function print the DDL description of
a data type into a string.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Purpose:
Bug fix

Misc. update:
Added high-level example directories
Description:
Refactored common code out of examples Makefiles.am, added high-level
example directories, added packet table examples.
Solution:
Examples now draw from a common config/examples.am file, which
contains rules for installing, uninstalling, and cleaning examples.
High-level example directories are mostly empty, except for the
C and C++ packet table tests.
Platforms tested:

Cleanup
Description:
Changed comments in C++ packet table code to refer to entries as
"packets" instead of "records."
Solution:
The APIs were changed to correspond to the C API, but the documentation
wasn't. This is fixed.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sleipnir
Misc. update:
This corresponds to documentation update earlier this week.
Bug fix
Description:
Fortran type generation was broken in two ways. Fixed both.
Solution:
Firstly, there were a couple of path problems. Fixed a typo and
specified the full path of a file.
Secondly, the dependencies weren't right when building with HDF5-specific
commands (make lib, make check-s, etc.). Tweaked dependencies
to fix the problem.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, sleipnir
Configure feature
Description:
Added 'make trace' target.
Solution:
Added tracing to 1.7. This was done automatically in 1.6, but left out
of 1.7 until now (oops!).
Tracing in 1.7 only happens manually, when the user types 'make trace.'
Tracing automatically requires more framework than it's worth.
I also fixed a couple of tracing bugs and ran trace.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Before this checkin, 'gmake check-s' would fail if there was a file in
the current directory named 'check-s'.
This is fixed under gmake (not sure how to fix for other makes).
Solution:
check, progs, install, etc. are what gmake calls "phony" targets,
which means that no file should be created. These targets can be
specified by a line of the form
.PHONY: check progs install ...
Automake adds this line for targets it knows about, but HDF5 has a
lot of custom rules. This checkin adds a .PHONY line for those rules.
I believe that only gmake recognizes the .PHONY line (at least, pmake
doesn't seem to), but a partial solution is better than none.
This error should occur very rarely anyway (the user has to manually
create files with names like 'build-check-s' or '_test').
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bug in hl/src Makefile that was deleting y.tab.c.
Running bin/reconfigure changed a few other files as well (somebody
probably updated Makefiles.am but forgot to bin/reconfigure).
Solution:
Automake in its wisdom adds the line "rm *.tab.c" to every distclean
in every directory. I assume that it assumes that such files are
generated during the build. Supplied an empty distclean-compile
target to remove this line from the Makefiles.in.

Misc. update:
Description: lex.yy.c for H5LTtext_to_dtype() has been failing to compile
on 64-bit SunOS. It has malloc() call but doesn't include stdlib.h.
Solution: Include stdlib.h in H5LTanalyze.l.
Platforms tested: shanti - simple change.
Description: The g++ on sleipnir had troubles to compile the H5LTtext_to_dtype()
code.
Solution: Fixed problems at different places.
Platforms tested: h5committest and g++ on sleipnir.
Purpose: Minor bug fix
Description: Static function test_text_dtype() has static subroutines defined after itself. The gcc compiler on sleipnir complained.
Solution: put test_text_dtype() after subroutine's definition.
Platforms tested: sleipnir with gcc 4.0 where the complaints happened. Simple change.
Description: Adding the new function H5LTtext_to_dtype() for converting text description to data type.
The next step will be H5LTdtype_to_text().
Solution: Use Lex and Yacc to do parsing of the text. H5LTanalyze.l is the lexer for analyzing the
input; H5LTparse.y is the parser. They are not part of HL library, but are used to generate lex.yy.c
(from H5LTanalyze.l) as well as y.tab.c and y.tab.h (from H5LTparse.y). The tools used to create
these source files are GNU FLEX and YACC on a Linux machine (fuss). The commands are "lex H5LTanalyze.l"
and "yacc -d H5LTparse.y". Detailed document will be added later.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: MANIFEST
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Added support for -shlib in h5fc and h5c++.
Made check-install use -shlib when only shared libraries have been installed.
Solution:
h5fc and h5c++ didn't recognize -shlib. Stole code from h5cc to link against
shared libraries.
When static libraries are disabled, the examples Makefiles will automatically
use the -shlib option to link against shared libraries. Thus,
--disable-static and make check-install should work together.
Platforms tested:
heping(disable-static, enable-static, fortran, c++), modi4 (disable-static, fortran, c++, parallel, enable-static)
Bug fix
Description:
Failed parallel tests now cause make to exit with an error.

Edited config/conclude.am to throw an error if parallel test programs fail.
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4
Bug fix
Description:
Changed configure.in to use an environment variable TR to set the path
to the tr utility.
Solution:
There are two kind of tr on Solaris with slightly different syntax.
HDF5's configure relies on the "standard" tr. Traditionally, HDF5ers
have needed to make sure that the "right" tr was found before the
wrong one in their path; now they can use an environment variable.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sol
Misc. update:
Forgot to update release notes. Off to do that now.
Makefile bug fix
Description:
Previously, automake didn't output rules to build perform/mpi-perf or
the test/gen_* programs.
Now these can be built by typing 'make mpi-perf' (or 'make foo') or by
configuring with --enable-build-all.
Solution:
Automake doesn't like having rules for programs it doesn't build. Tricked
it by having these programs built "sometimes"--whenever the user enables
--build-all. This should be used mostly for testing and to ensure that
these helper programs compile.
***IMPORTANT***
These programs do *not* currently compile. When --enable-build-all is used
(not the default), gen_new_fill fails because it uses an old API. This is
an existing "bug" that has simply been exposed by this checkin.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
When a parallel test script test fails, make would continue because the
way it was setup inside a for loop. Fixed it by issuing an exit 1 inside
the loop.
There was also a typo error in the newer command comparision that it
must be $${chkname} in order to be valid. Also, the test script itself
was not checked in the newer lists. All fixed.
Platforms tested:
h5committested and also hand tested in heping pp mode.
New feature.
Description:
Added the time command to the make check target to report time usage
of the execute of each test and test scripts. This gives us some idea
how long each test takes and some vague idea it is compute bound or
not.
powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
Change $RUNPARALLEL default setting to allow it being invoked by the
time command.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Feature
Description:
Added H5_CFLAGS, etc. to 1.7 branch.
Now compilation flags can be put in H5_*FLAGS and they'll be used when
building hdf5 but not in h5cc.
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Disabled C++ shared libraries for Sun Workshop compiler.
Solution:
This bug only seems to happen when using the -xarch=v9 flag to compile in
64-bit mode, but disabling shared libraries entirely for this compiler is
an easier fix (I don't know how to detect 64 bit mode from the command line).
The framework for disabling shared libraries for other C++ compilers is
in place.
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't
support them.
This allows other compilers to support shared Fortran libraries.
Solution:
Added a conditional, SHARED_FORTRAN_CONDITIONAL, which is true if
Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
Bug fix
Description:
Building with --disable-static seems to have been broken on several platforms.
Fixed this.
Configure will now disable shared libraries automatically when using pgf90
or when building on Cygwin.
Solution:
To avoid errors when using shared libraries with pgf90 (which I had not
realized were compiler-specific), I had manually set convenience libraries
to use the -static linking flag. Apparently, this is not necessary, and
caused these libraries to be created as empty archives when --disable-static
was used.
Also, some libraries were including other libraries, which was not
necessary.
I also fixed code in configure.in to correctly detect whether shared
or static libraries are enabled, and moved code that disables shared libraries
to before libtool is created (rather than editing libtool after the fact).
Despite repeated warnings that only one shared library can be linked at a
time, I have yet to have shared libraries break the linking of tests on
any system. We'll see if the Daily Tests turn up anything.
Platforms tested:
mir (fortran, C++), sleipnir (C++), modi4 (fortran, C++, parallel),
sol (fortran, C++), cygwin
tidy up.
Description:
MPE option created *.clog file whenever it is executed in MPI.
The cleanup of *.clog files were done in individual Makefile.in.
Often, it is forgotten.
Solution:
Moved the cleaning of *.clog files to CHECK_CLEANFILES in commence.am
so that it is applied whenever check-clean is called.
Platforms tested:
heping pp using MPE.
Bug fixes
Description:
This checkin fixes an occasional error on kelgia on sol during distclean.
It also causes test scripts to depend properly on the programs they're
supposed to be testing.
Solution:
The kelgia bug was due to some files being cleaned by automake and manually.
Removed the manual cleaning in src/Makefile.am.
Test script dependencies now need to be specified manually, since the
makefile can't guess what they test from their name. Currently all test
scripts in a given directory have a single list of dependencies--this was
easy and seems to be sufficient.
These dependencies are listed in the SCRIPT_DEPEND variable in the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:

minor tidy up.
Description:
Changed both test programs and test scripts to use the same suffixes
(.chkexe and .chklog). Changed from .log to .chklog to avoid running
into potential conflicts by other "things" (e.g., config.log).
Tested:
Heping.
Code cleanup
Description:

Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix and improvement.
Description:
The test output were not displayed for parallel tests.
The serial tests output were always displayed whether the test was
actually ran this time or not.
Solution:
Moved the display of test output inside the target where the actual
tests are run.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping using pp and fortran.
Bug fix and code minor cleanup.
Description:
The attempt to redirect stderr together to the log files were
done in the wrong order such that stderr output goes to where
stdout WAS. Fixed that.
Code minor cleanup--use shell variables to hold the name of the
log file and the test instead of generating them repeatedly. This
makes easier code reading, less crowded and avoid typos.
Only conclude.in is changed. The Makefile.in changes are all
derived from automake.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
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: check-clean target
Description:
'make check-clean' cleans up output files from tests.
Solution:
Tests create foo.chkexe and foo.log files. Scripts create foo.chksh and
foo.logsh files. 'make check-clean' will clean these files up so that
the tests can be re-run.
Also suppressed some not-very-useful output of Makefiles when it would
echo commands.

Configuration feature
Description:
Serial test output is now stored in log files and printed when all tests
in a directory complete, or when a test fails. This should make test output
more readable and useful.
Also made changes to clean up ii_files directories that are created by some
C++ compilers/linkers.
Also fixed a few minor Makefile bugs.
Solution:
When serial tests run, their output is saved in *.log or *.logsh. While
running, tests only print when they begin and when they complete; their
more specific output (from the log file) is printed if the test fails or
when all tests have completed.
Comments welcome.

Bug fix
Description:
The ".chksh" file for a test script was being created in the "source"
location rather than the build location. This can cause problems when
multiple builds are running because "slower" machines will see the ".cshsh"
file from faster machines and will not run the test script as they should.
Solution:
Use 'basename' command to strip off the path of the script and create
the ".chksh" file in the build location.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
bug fix.
Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.
Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2. Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".
Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bugs that caused tests to be unable to find testhdf5.sh during
daily tests, and another that broke sol and shanti.
Solution:
When tests are run, their path is ./$testname .
When scripts are run, their path has no leading "./". Fixed.
Sol and shanti don't recognize the -e option for test, but they do know
-f. Fixed.
Also modified release notes.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, heping
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.)
Description: "long long" type caused compilation problems on Windows
Solution: Use long_long definition
Platforms tested: heping, Windows will follow
Misc. update:
Description: Finally moved Fortran related function H5IM_get_palette to the
fortran part of the hl source (to the H5IMcc.c file)
Solution:
Platforms tested: sleipnir, mir with g95
Misc. update:
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: mismatched "static" declaration for notorious H5IM_find_palette function
caused compilation to fail on sleipnir.
Solution: Remove it for now. Function should go back to Fortran part of HL library.
Platforms tested: sleipnir
Misc. update:
Description:
1.7 daily tests failed in HL library when Fortran was not
enabled; also long long instead of long_long declarations
were used and caused failures on Windows
Solution:
Removed Fortran related functions (except H5IM_find_palette) from
H5IM.c file and put it into fortran/src/H5IMcc.c
Modified appropriate Makefile.am files, regenerated Makefile.in files, updated header files, MANIFEST, etc.
Note: H5IM_find_palette should be also in H5IMcc.c, but
for some unknown to me reason, linking fails if the function is
included in H5IMcc.c. I will really appreciate if some C guru
will look into the code and figure out what is wrong :-) Thanks!
Platforms tested: mir with g95, heping with and without Fortran enabled
Misc. update:
Description:
When compiler flag was used to set the size of Fortran integer
to 8 bytes, library would fail.
Solution:

and appropriately defined int_f type for C-stubs routines.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.8 32 and 64-bit, AIX 5.1 64-bit parallel
PGI Fortran with -i8 flag on heping
Absoft Fortran with -i8 flag on heping
g95 on mir (Fortran integer is 8 bytes by default that cannot be
changed - compiler bug ;-)
AIX Fortran with -qintsize=8 32 and 64-bit modes on copper
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
check-s and check-p were set as pre-requistics of test. They
would get executed in parallel if parallel make is used. This
could cause problems since serial tests are used to be executed
before parallel tests. It is not known if it is always okay to
run serial and parallel tests in simultantously.
Solution:
Change check-s and check-p as actions of the target test so
that they get executed sequnentially.
Platforms tested:
heping PP.
Added check-s and check-p targets.
Description:
Added check-s and check-p targets to 1.7 branch to match changes to 1.6
branch. Now parallel and serial tests can be run separately.

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Made High-Level Fortran code use automatically generated headers
rather than a separate hardcoded header.
Solution:
Set hdf5/hl/fortran/src to include hdf5/fortran/src, so that it
will find the copy of H5f90i.h in that directory.
Took #include "H5private.h" out of H5f90i.h (and moved it to files
that included H5f90i.h.
Platforms tested:

Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up various warnings reported by the Windows team.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Minor feature
Description:
If a user configures without C++ or Fortran, 'make' will not recurse into
c++ or fortran directories. However, if the user cd's into these
directories and 'makes,' the Makefiles will attempt to build interfaces
that have not been configured, usually failing.
In an unrelated but minor change, src/H5detect should be compiled with
the -g flag to disable compiler optimizations since it is only
executed once.
Solution:
Make it harder for users to try to compile interfaces that have not been
configured by making c++, fortran, and hl directories not recurse into
their subdirectories unless they have been configured.
Thus, 'make' in /fortran/src will break if Fortran has not been configured,
but 'make' in /fortran will not break.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
Changed headers in Fortran directories to use H5_FC_FUNC macro
from H5pubconf.h rather than FC_FUNC macro from H5config.h.
This is better practice and works better with the Windows projects.
Platforms tested:
heping, Windows
Description: Removed support for SRB driver
Solution: Removed or modified appropriate files; ran reconfigure
to regenerate Makefile.in and configure files.
Platforms tested: heping and shanti
Misc. update: ran bin/chkmanifest on heping
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
FAIL was being doubly defined in high-level fortran directory.
Removed inclusion of H5private.h from H5f90i.h in hl/fortran/src.
Platforms tested:
copper
Configuration feature
Description:
Different Fortran compilers mangle function names in different ways
(upper case, lower case, adding underscores). To link between
Fortran and C functions, we need to know what a given function's
name is under a given compiler.
Solution:
Use autoconf's FC_WRAPPERS check to determine the Fortran
naming scheme and define the FC_FUNC_ macro to name our
functions (in H5f90proto.h). Removed references to
our old FNAME macro, as well as flags that indicated whether
function names were upper or lower case.
Platforms tested:
mir, pommier, modi4, copper, more
Bug fix
Description:
On some machines, $RUNSERIAL variable needs to be used to run
tests. Set $RUNTESTS (which is used for non-parallel tests) to
be $RUNSERIAL in configure.am.
Also, since I was updating all Makefiles.in anyway, I updated
commence.am to point to autotools installs in AFS instead of
those on heping.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4, copper
Purpose:

Feature - conditional compilation
Description:
SRB file driver and tests are now compiled only when SRB is enabled
(using --with-srb during configure).
Solution:
Added an automake conditional in configure.in, altered Makefiles.am in
src and test directories to depend on that conditional.
This should make a nice example for posterity to add conditionally
compiled sources.
Platforms tested:

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
Automake version upgrade
Description:
Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5.
Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5.
Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables
instead of FFLAGS and F9X.
Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work
supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will
be cleaned later).
Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is
processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since
automake no longer allows us to define unused variables.
Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not
used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and
will break otherwise.
Platforms tested:
Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
Bug fix
Description:
The GASS VFL driver header file was bringing in the <string.h> header file,

Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++ as CC

Bug fix
Description:
Some machines and compilers were having trouble creating fortran libraries

Description:
modi4 dies during build with strange errors.
The root cause of these is a two-year-old hack in HDF5's libtool
script that only takes effect on IRIX.

Edited the libtool hack (by editing ltmain.sh) to correct a bug in
the hack.
Also made sure that compiler-specific DEFAULT_LIBS are used
when linking.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, sol
Bug fix
Description:
Arabica exhibited strange errors when linker found wrong versions of
header files. This happened because include directories were
given to linker in the wrong order.
Solution:
Move include directories from AM_CFLAGS variable to INCLUDES
variable to put them before CPPFLAGS variable. Trust me, it works.
This bug may also have contributed to strange errors on other platforms
(kelgia?).
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, arabica.
(h5dump broke while building on arabica, but this happened in
a clean checkout, too).
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).

Code cleanup
Description:
Windows is generating hundreds of warnings from some of the practices in

64-bit on Windows and we were carelessly casting the larger values down to
the smaller ones without checking for overflow.
Also, some other small code cleanups,etc.
Solution:
Re-worked some algorithms to eliminate the casts and also added more
overflow checking for assignments and function parameters which needed
casts.

the the library code a bit better.

Code cleanups, mostly..
Description:
Work on pacifying the SGI compiler to get the generic properties working
correctly with --enable-parallel and --enable-fortran. It's not quite
fixed yet, but I need to head home and these patches help... :-/
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
Purpose:
Reformatting
Description:
Reformatted the code so that it's much clearer and conforms to the
HDF5 coding standards. Changed the function headers to use the ANSI
style instead of the KnR style. Kept the use of typedef's such as
"unsigned char" being "BYTE" and so on since of of this code is
copied from some other place and that's the style they use...I didn't
want to break things.
Platforms tested:
It compiles fine on Linux, but there aren't any tests for this
package, so...
Purpose:
Bug fix (by Bob McGrath)
Description:
On Solaris platforms palette was not written to the HDF5 file
Solution:
'\0' character was written outside the GroupName array. Apparently on Solaris it destroyed the condition value that determined if the palette should be written to the file.
Platforms tested:
Not tested yet.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
One of the function calls (H5Sget_simple_extent_dims) used parameter with
the wrong type. That caused compilation errors on T3E.
Solution:
Used NULL since that argument is optional and was never used.
Platforms tested:
T3E(mcurie) and IRIX64 (modi4)
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Rushabh added new directory tools/gifconv to CVS. He also modified
MANIFEST, but bin/chkmanifest complains this file.
Solution:
I will try to delete gif.h and then to add it once more.
Purpose:
Adding new feature
Description:
Added gif2h5 and h52gif conversion utilities
Solution:
The utilites follow the framework built for the gif2hdf and hdf2gif
utilities for hdf4. The main files modified were those that read the
H5 file and those that write H5 file. In the future, if you wish to
continue with the framework and extend it to .png or some other fileformat
the main files to edit will be the gif reader and writer.
One point to note with h52gif. You have to specify the exact location of
the image and the palette that it links to. You can choose not to specify
a palette (uniform grayscale chosen in this case) but you must specify
image location. In the future, someone could edit the readhdf.c source
to enable the reader to parse the hdf file and select all images with
corresponding palettes.
