Cleaning up warnings
Description:
Many exception constructors have warnings about reference to temporary
location because of the parameter initialization, for example,
"const string& var = 0."
Solution:
Changed "string&" parameters to pass by value for these constructors.
Consequently, passing string by value also takes care of char pointers
so the overloaded constructors for char pointers are then removed.
Also, instead of setting Exception::detailMessage to null string, I
set it to DEFAULT_MSG ("No detailed information provided") by default.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IA-64 (titan)
Description: The algorithm of H5T_bit_neg wasn't general enough.
Solution: Changed it to handle arbitory starting position and size
in a bit sequence.
Platforms tested: h5committest.
Description: The H5T_bit_dec algorithm wasn't general enough.
Solution: Changed it to handle bit sequence starting at any position
and of any length.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Description: unsigned long or unsigned long long failed to be converted to
float or double during software conversion on some systems. It's believed
there are bugs on those systems(modi4, premium, o2, arabica).
Solution: temporarily disable these tests.
Platforms tested: Simply comment out. No need to do test.
bug fix
Description:
the test that reads a pre-saved file with filters must only be run
when that filter is available on the current configuration,
otherwise the library trigers a read error
Solution:
added a #ifdef for the filter, that prints -SKIP- in case we do not have the filter
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Description: integer-float software conversion. There are some
print commands left in the source code. Will clean them up once
no problem is found in test.
Platforms tested: h5committest.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt

new test
Description:
the fletcher filter used a temporary 2 byte word buffer to compute the checksum.
this is non portable between big-endian/little endian.

Bugfix: Bugzilla #66
Solution:
H5Pset_szip -- Corrected the plist parameter description.
Since this property can be set only in the dataset
creation property list, changed the parameter description
from
Dataset creation or dataset transfer property list identifier.
to
Dataset creation property list identifier.
Fixes Bugzilla bug #66.

Bug fix
Description:
Fix build on sparc64 platform for FreeBSD by modifying the config/gnu-flags
to not insert '-march=i686' on non-Intel platforms. (This change allows HDF5
to run correctly on all five of the main FreeBSD platforms... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest not run since it's a FreeBSD-specific fix.
Bug fix/code update
Description:
Upgrade to latest version of config.guess & config.sub, which work
correctly on Cray X1 (and may help on NEC SX-6).
NOTE: This upgrade has _nothing_ to do with autoconf or libtool, these
shell scripts are _not_ tied to any particular version of those tools.

new feature
Description:
added a check for the return value of the tools h5repack and h5diff
in the run script.
the return value is used to print PASSED (tool returns 0) or FAILED
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
1) new function for tools library
2) new test script for h5repack
Description:
1) currently all the tools (h5dump, h5diff, etc) do not check if a filter is available
for reading some dataset that might have a filter not available on the current configuration (the behaviour
of the tools until now was to trigger a library error, saying that the dataset cannot be read
due to the lack of the filter)
Solution:
1) added a new function h5tools_canreadf that checks if a dataset can be read
depending on the availability of filters.
this function was added in calls for h5diff and h5repack.
instead of triggering the library error, a message is printed, saying that the dataset
cannot be read (the print is optional, it is on on verbose mode)
2) added a shell script that tests the commannd line tool behaviour of h5repack
the script does a series of runs of h5repack with several options on the same file (this file test4.h5
was added to the testfiles dir).
then, it runs the h5diff tool, with the input and output files , in each run.
the goal of the test is also to check item 1) . the binary file was saved with filters
that might not be available on other configurations
Platforms tested:
linux (all filters enabled)
linux (some filters disabled)
solaris (some filters disabled)
AIX (some filters disabled)
windows (all filters on and off )
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
I introduced some #ifdef <have_filter> on the check in yesterday on the places
that generated datasets, that had no corresponding on the read part.
this caused failures in the configurations where a filter was not defined
Solution:
just removed the #ifdefs
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
generating a dataset in linux 2.4 (verbena) with the pgcc compiler gave an error with the following
sequence
1) make a space id1 and a dcpl
2) make a space id2, create and write a dataset with space id2, close
3) attempt to create a dataset with space id1 fails and calling a set_filter function with the dcpl in 1) fails
Solution:
just changed the order 2) to 1)
Platforms tested:
linux 2.4 (verbena) with pgcc compiler

bug fix in H5Zshuffle.c
add more tests to h5repack that exposed the bug
Description:
when creating a dataset with the shuffle filter and duplicating it in a new dataset (file)
the call to H5Z_set_local_shuffle failed. this is because the value of cd_nelmts of the filter
structure is set to 1 (H5Z_SHUFFLE_TOTAL_NPARMS) when the original dataset is created, but when
the new dataset is created there is a checking instruction that fails if the value of
cd_nelmts is not 0 (its original value, H5Z_SHUFFLE_USER_NPARMS)
Solution:
just remove that check condition, since the value of cd_nelmts is not used anyway.
if we decide that the value of cd_nelmts is necessary, then the H5O_pline_copy function
must be changed to update this value (a different update for each filter)
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Update threadsafe flags for FreeBSD and allow C++ to be built with
threadsafe enabled.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/C++ & thread-safe
Bug fix.
Description:
The -g in H5detect somehow does not work with 64bit mpicc in arabica.
Remove it for now for better solution.
Platforms tested:
no test as the change is trivia.
Misc. update:
Bug fix, sort of.
Description:
Some compilers, e.g., intel compiler, would take a long time
to compiler H5detect.c if optimization is on.
Solution:
Setup special make rules for H5detect to be compiled always with
optimization off by using -g. Since H5detect is run once to generate H5Tinit.c,
it does not matter that much if it is optimized or not.
Platforms tested:
"h5committested".
Tested in Titan too.
Code cleanup/bug fix
Description:
Fix configuration files to allow 64-bit compilation of the library with
a 64-bit version of zlib.
Solution:
Moved important compiler flags settings from CC macro to CFLAGS macro.
Instead of setting CC (F9X, CXX) environment variable for compiling for 64-bit
code, users should just set the CFLAGS (FFLAGS, CXXFLAGS) to -q64.
Updated INSTALL file to reflect this change.
Platforms tested:
IBM p690 (copper) w/parallel, FORTRAN, C++, srcdir.
Platforms specific - h5committest does not apply.
small bug fix
Description:
a dataset creation property list was not closed
Solution:
closed it, calling H5Pclose(dcpl);
Platforms tested:
linux (small fix)

Bug fix
Description:
Added directory where actual source code is located to allow broken Intel
C 7.1 compiler to generate dependencies correctly.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (titan)
too minor to need h5committest
removed some harcoded zlib and szip library paths from the h5repack project
settings that were accidently left there
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:

"make check" failed because the macro "$<" is not known to those
makes.
Solution:
Replace that macro with a string name in the form of a more basic
macro of "$@".
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
new feature, bug fix, changed function
Description:
1) implemented the option that says if the dataset is too small , do not compress it
2) bug fix in the SZIP checking . only apply szip to atomic datatypes
3) made the apply_filters function more compact
