Adding new platform support
Description:
Added support for the C++ API on hpux11.00 with the compiler aCC.
Because aCC doesn't use "std," a new macro H5_NO_STD is provided
and used where "std" is presented in the library.
In addition, changed several cout's when reporting errors to cerr's.
Platforms tested:
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Linux 2.2x (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica) - by Elena
Misc. update:

the compiler aCC.
Platforms tested:
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Linux 2.2x (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica) - by Elena
Misc. update:

bug Fix
Description:
MPI stuff was getting into the non-parallel headers.
Solution:
#ifdefed the headers out if H5_HAVE_FPHDF5 isn't defined...
Platforms tested:
Sol, Modi4
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
When doing an allocation, check to see, if it's an FPHDF5
driver, if only the captain should be performing the allocation
Platforms tested:
Linux, Modi4, Sol
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Have the FPHDF5 module initialized on startup. Have only the captain
process perform certain functions (like flushing during an F_close
call or allocating the superblock).
H5Fistore needed a few checks to see if it was working with an FPHDF5
driver. Done similarly to how MPI and MPIPOSIX drivers are checked..
Platforms tested:
Linux, Modi4, Sol
Misc. update:
Why not?
Description:
Lots of changes. This is basically a "commit because there are a lot
of changes" commit.
The server now acts more like a metadata caching server. The dumping
mechanism finally works (I think). At least in the test I did it
seemed to write things back. There's a new MPI TAG to use
(H5FP_TAG_DUMP) when dumping things. Changed a lot of the functions
from passing a structure around to just passing a pointer to that
structure. I have no clue why I did it the previous way...
Um...And more synchronization stuff between the client and server.
The protocol between the two was being broke in a couple of places.
We're getting closer!
Platforms tested:
Linux (probably Modi4 too)
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
The MPI datatypes we were committing weren't using the correct
structure.
Also, we needed to know the rank of the captain process inside of the
BARRIER COMM.
Solution:
Changed to use the correct structure.
Got the Captain process's rank and Bcast it to the "privates".
Platforms tested:
Linux
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
More changes to the FPHDF5 file driver. Too many to mention here.
Some highlights:
- Addition of lock/unlock methods to the driver, though they
aren't implemented fully just yet.
- Extra query functions to determine various things about the
file. (If this is the captain process, etc)
- Fixes to make things work...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Misc. update:
New Feature
Description:
Added support for the lock and unlock function calls for file
drivers. Only FPHDF5 uses this feature. All of these drivers don't
define lock or unlock methods.
Platforms tested:
Linux, Modi4, Sol
Misc. update:
Cleanup
Description:
The H5O_FPHDF5 object was left in this header file by mistake when
the H5Ofphdf5 module was removed
Solution:
Removed it.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Finish code cleanup
Description:
Wrap up the conversion of H5F_flush's multiple boolean flags into a single
bitfield of flags by pushing the flags down into the H5AC_flush and
H5F_istore_flush routines.
Also, changed the flags from H5_FLUSH_<foo> to H5F_FLUSH_<foo> to be more
consistent with rest of library.
And reverted the changes to H5FDflush and H5FD_flush routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
Solaris 5.8 (sol)
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel
Misc. update:
Refactoring of Flush Logic
Description:
The Flushing logic passed in multiple flags to indicate what type of
flush it was: closing, invalidate, alloc only. This made extending
the function of the flush logic to handle other flags annoying.
Solution:
I changed it to be just one bitmasked flag to indicate what type of
flushing to do. I also added the CLEAR_ONLY flag, which will be used
in the FPHDF5 stuff.
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
DreamWeaver (DW) adaptation of the HDF5 doc set, introducing the use of
stylesheets and DW libraries.
Stylesheets -- for consistent format management.
DW libraries -- for managing common elements across documents.
Platforms tested:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape
Purpose:
Adding stylesheets to the HDF5 doc set (via DW libraries).
Description:
These HTML stylesheets are for consistently managing formatting issues.

bug fix
Description:
some data not read correctly due to type_id used in read
Solution:
did a function that determines the optimal memory type
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris
bug fixes in h5diff
Description:
there was a incorrect reading of arguments when only 1 object name was supplied
reading of data was done using type_id got from disk, causing some values not read correctly into memory
Solution:
used native types to read into memory
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris57
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
* Added support for generic properties.
* Added support for time allocation properties.
* Added support for variable length datatypes (only datatypes based
on INTEGER, REAL and CHARACTER Fortran types are supported).
* added some missing functions
Solution:
I am checking in new Fortran APIs and their man pages to support
1.5 features listed above.
Not all APIs have tests yet. APIs were written in Fall 2002, and I am afraid
that I will loose the code or totally forget what I did if I wait longer. ;-)
Platforms tested:
arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran), modi4 (parallel, fortran)
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
Added support for variable length datatypes.
Solution:
I added support for Fortran VL types to 1.4 branch before the
hdf5-1.4.5 release. Now I am bringing changes back to the 1.5 branch
Platforms tested:
arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran), modi4 (parallel, fortran)
h5diff enhancements
Description:
changed -r to count the number of differences, but do not print them
changed the output format with some printf enginnering, to align columns
print the dimensions of dsets, in case they are different
test files added test for non supported data (class not integer or float)
fix print dimensions to 0 index
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris
new feature
Description:
Added a force mode (-force) which turns off prompting, just do it.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? no
[If no, why not?] It is just a shell script. Tested it in eirene.
Misc. update:
Will check in the updated RELEASE and document files.
Purpose:
bug fix
Description:
To avoid warning of defined macro FUNCTION at .NET, _MSC_VER should be used instead of MSC_VER.
Solution:
change MSC_VER to _MSC_VER,furthermore, to avoid future warning,
change MSC_VER == 1300 to _MSC_VER >=1300
Platforms tested:
windows 2000,windows xp(no need to test on other platforms).
Misc. update:
Purpose:
1.update windows release doc related to the addition of semi-automatic generated H5Tinit.c project and workspace files.
2. Make the doc more clear.
Description:
1. H5Tinit.c was manually maintained before and it might affect the users who wants to build and test from HDF5 snapshot release.
2. Make sure that we are supporting .Net only on XP and also emphasize to DLL users to the DLL critical section of the doc.
Solution:
1. Add a section for those users to semi-auto generate H5Tinit.c.
Platforms tested:
Doc files, no need to test.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
update project files, bug fix and new feature added on windows
Description:
1. bug fix
the maually-maintained H5Tinit.c on windows gave the wrong information of the size of
data type long double due to inconsistent description of the long double at MSDN. After testing with
a real case, find the long double is treated as double on windows. The size is 8 bytes. Previously it
was set to 12.
The alignment information of struct is missed in the old H5Tinit.c.
2. Project files updated
With the Quincey's new additions, Project files hdf5, hdf5dll,testhdf5,testhdf5dll are modified.
Add several test project files on windows, they are ntypes,ntypesdll,file_handle,file_handledll,
getname, getnamedll, set_extent and set_extentdll.
3. New features
H5Tinit.c can be automatically generated from H5detect.c. Adding a workspace and a project file
for users who may build and test HDF5 snapshotes.
Solution:
1. Use automatic-generated H5Tinit.c to replace the manually maintained H5Tinit.c
This automatic-generated H5Tinit.c has been confirmed the same on windows XP and windows 2000.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000,(since the files changed are windows specified *.zip files, it will not affect
non-windows platforms).
Only update projects all-withf90.zip without building and testing due to upcoming modification of fortran projects by
Elena.
