New tool.
Description:
A new tool to build the HDF5 library. This was historically the
makeh5 command. Added here so that it can be used in machines outside
of the HDF Groups. Having it in the source allows version specific
customization.
Platforms tested:
Did run h5committest which failed due to other source code problems.
Tested it by hand by ../hdf5/bin/buildhdf5 and passed as far as its
own functionality.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
If the base directory (.../snapshot-...) does not exist yet,
the runtest and snapshot will continue on till it bumped into
a "wall".
Solution:
Added verification that the BASEDIR does exist.
bug fixes
Description:
The "fs flush" actually discards the local caches information,
NOT pushing the local file out to the servers. It does not
help the AFS problems we had but probably made it worse by
creating more demands on the servers.
Solution:
Removed the FLUSH_FILES code.
Platforms tested:
Can't be tested by h5committest and I am pretty sure the
change is safe.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
If there was a header file with a path like:
/some/path/mpich.optimized/...
The dependencies script would change that to
/some/path/mpich.loptimized/...
^--Note.
Solution:
Mike McKay offered the solution to replace the substitution script
from "s/\.o/\.lo/g" to "s/\.o(\b)/\.lo$1/g". It doesn't crash when
run on Linux, but we need to make sure that it's okay for his
machine.
Platforms tested:
Linux, since this script is only run on GNU platforms.
Misc. update:
feature.
Description:
Added the option of "setenv3" which sets the environment variable
that has three components like env AR="ar -X 64". It is another
kludge like setenv2. Got to code in a better 'setenv' option.
Platforms tested:
Copper (because its -64 compiling needs that AR set as above).
Eirene (where it usually launches).
Did not do h5committest which does not test bin/runtest.
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
It checked on the CVSROOT setting even when no cvs is needed.
Solution:
Moved the verification inside the checkout code so that the
CVS settings are checked when it is needed.
Platforms tested:
Eirene--this is invoked by bin/runtest. Platform tests do not
apply here.
Misc. update:
New Feature
Description:
Some machine has a different hostname from its official name (e.g., copper
is called Cu12) and some machine name are dynamic aliases (e.g., titan is
mapped user01 or user02). Some names are cryptic (who could remember
hn0? are platinum hosts while user0? are for titan). We had to hardcode
those names into the snaptest.cfg file. An ongoing maintenance PAIN.
Solution:
Added -configname <name> option where
"use <name> as hostname in the parsing of the snaptest configure file"
Changed RSH code to append the hostname used in the Allhostfile. Now, we
need not worry about machine name mapped to a different host and it is
much cleaner to match up entries between allhostfile and snaptest.cfg files.
Platforms tested:
Did not use h5committest which does not cover this code.
Tested in eirene, titan, platinum and copper.
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
Added a 5 seconds timeout to the PING command so that it can detect
host not online quicker.
Platforms tested:
The three platforms tests do not cover this command.
Test it in eirene where it is usually run.
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
n_test must be inited to 1 when it is for tests within one machine.
Undid my previous mistake.
Platforms tested:
Eirene.
Did not do the h5committest because this is a script and if it works
in one machine, it most like will work in all Unix platform.
Misc. update:
new feature and some bug fixes
Description:
Add a new feature to "skip" some tests.
Sometimes, a machine has problem (e.g. titan and sleipnir having AFS
problems). Sometimes some feature in a machine is temporary off (e.g.,
PGI compilers in eirene.) The tests will be reported being SKIPPED
which will be reminder to remove the skipping once the problem is fixed.
I installed the skipping control in snaptest.cfg rather than in
allhostsfile to have a finer control to skip just a subset of the
tests of a machine, rather than skipping the all tests of a machine.
Bug fixes: fixed the miscounting of number of tests ran. It was
reporting one too many.
Platforms tested:
Only tested in eirene since eirene is the one uses it directly.
Misc. update:
New feature
Description:
Added feature to print a summary of total number of tests and time spent
in each host.
Platforms tested:
Did not run h5committest because it does not test this script.
Did test it out in eirene and burrwhite.
Misc. update:
No document change.
Bug fix
Description:
SGI shell treats $0 as function name if used in a function.
Set the name here to avoid that ambiguity and better style too.
Platforms tested:
Just in modi4 and burrwhite since it is a shell script and the
change is machine independent.
Purpose:
New Feature; Optimization; Clean-up
(Merged from 1.4 branch)
Description:
There is no symbolic constant to pass to functions that take an
optional object ID for when the caller wants to indicate no object
ID. In the past the caller always passed a negative integer.
GPFS performs poorly.
The h5ls tool decides whether to list the file name in the output
based on a compile-time choice, which isn't always optimal at run
time.
Solution:
Added a symbolic constant H5I_INVALID_HID.
Added code to tell the mmfsd of GPFS to forego byte range token
prefetching.
h5ls decides whether to print the file name at runtime based on
the number of objects being listed.
Platforms tested:
SuSE Linux (arborea), gcc and mpich-1.2.4
SunOS (baldric), gcc
2002-08-09 11:58:59 Robb Matzke <matzke@arborea.spizella.com>
* rewrite_func: Add trace info after any kind of FUNC_ENTER* macro.
New feature
Description:
Added TIMESTAMP and event markers. Easier to tell the chronical events.
Turned of echo mode. Added an option to turn it on.
Platforms tested:
Only in eirene.
Bug fix
Description:
Teach the perl script about the new "_API" added to all API functions.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) w and w/o parallel
Linux 2.2.x (eirene) w/FORTRAN & C++
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/FORTRAN
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN & parallel
feature
Description:
Removed the search of HDF4 library specifically.
Replaced the locate_hdf4 with a more general locate_sw.
Added the search of zlib.
Platforms tested:
eirene and all hdf group machines.
New feature
Description:
This search for various software (hdf4, hdf5, zlib) among possible
locations. It is customized toward NCSA machines structure.
Platforms tested:
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 ltmain.sh with the newest version from the 1.4.2 libtool. The
one I updated with earlier still had a few bugs in it, for some
reason. I got rid of the RPM version on my machine and used the
compiled source instead.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
On some platforms, mktemp doesn't work. This would wipe out the
tmpdir variable's value.
Solution:
Reinitialize tmpdir in these cases.
Platforms tested:
HP-UX
Bug Fix
Description:
Ported the hack of hte ltmain.sh script from the v1.4 branch to the
1.5 branch, since it's sure to fail on systems with really long
-Wl... flags...
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
Platforms tested:
AIX (blue), and Linux
Feature/bug fix
Description:
The 'snapshot diff' command is run in all cases, even after the initial
"snapshot diff" and hosts are polled to run the test. It would not cause
any harm except wasting time repeating diff'ing. Also, the path is
quite right to invoke snapshot by merely "bin/snapshot diff" since it
has not "cd" to the right directory yet.
Solution:
Added a new option of "-nodiff" to skip the special diff request.
Then make "runtest" to call itself again with it to prevent
any further unnecessary diff'ing.
Platforms tested:
eirene
New feature
Description:
"snapshot diff" will just run the diff and exit 0 is no significant
differences found between current and previous versions.
Runtest will try a "snapshot diff" and will skip test if no significant
differences are found.
Platforms tested:
eirene
New feature
Description:
Replacing the hardcoding of default version for snapshot test
to a file, bin/snapshot_version. This way, runtest and snapshot
can be version neutral. Makes maintenance easier.
Platforms tested:
eirene.
Bug fix
Description:
check-install was on the same make line with install. They
got run in parallel.
Run check-install as a separate make action after make install is completed.
Platforms tested:
Eirene
Feature
Description:
The output of multiple tests of one host used to all go to the same
logfile. It is harder to find the beginning of each test.
Solution:
Added hour and minute (HHMM) into the logfile name. Different
tests should go to different files now. If a second test starts
within a minute of the previous test, their output will be all
in the same file. In the case, there are probably not that much
output to worry.
Platforms tested:
eirene
New feature
Description:
The examples have been changed to use the installed h5cc to do
the compiling. Added a step in the "test" part to
"cd examples; gmake check" which will test against the installed
software.
A more proper way is to create a "check-install" target to test
other installed software besides the C API, such as the Fortran
API.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Bug Fix
Description:
When doing an install of dynamic executables on some platforms, the
"mktemp" command may fail which causes the contents of "tmpdir" to go
away. If it's a failure, we still need the previous value of tmpdir.
Solution:
I replicated some code so that tmpdir's old value before the mktemp
call is regen'ed if the mktemp call failed.
Platforms tested:
HP-UX SysV
Bug Fix
Description:
For some reason, a wrong line was introduced into the ltconfig in my
"Major Hack(tm)" stuff.
Solution:
Removed this line, which isn't supposed to be there cause that's why
the Major Hack was there to begin with.
Platforms tested:
NERSC machine and Pacific Blue
Bug fix
Description:
A a build had occurred in the source tree ($CURRENT) and did not
do a distclean, the left over files would interfere with srcdir
build.
Solution:
Added a "make distclean" in the "checkout" option to clean up
the $CURRENT just in case. Not necessarily the most optimal
spot to do the cleaning but convenient.
Platforms tested:
Eirene.
Bug fix
Description:
Snapshot does "make check" directly, instead of building all
binary first. This means it does not cover code that are not
tested (e.g., example, perform). (That explained why the errors
in the PIO performance code were not reported in daily test but
blew up when people built the library the "normal" way.)
It is done this way so that the snaptest aborts as soon as
the first test failed rather than after all code are compiled.
Solution:
Add "make" (to build all binary) before "make check".
The allows snaptest to fail as soon as the first compiling failure.
If we wish the snaptest to abort on the first test failure, the two
can be swapped as "make check && make ...". (It would appear strange
to run tests then make binary.)
Platforms tested:
Would be tested in the daily test tonight. (I should have tested
it first but I started this commit process already. Sorry.)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
We needed to support C++ on SP3. Libtool was putting a "-bnso" flag
on the compile line. This was causing the C++ compiler to barf..
Solution:
Removed the line.
Platforms tested:
OSF5.1
