Adding tests to the C++ API
Description:
The C++ API has no formal testing yet.
Solution:
Added tests for file and dataset interfaces. I'm still working on
other tests.
Platforms tested:
Linux (gcc version egcs-2.91.66)
I temporarily modified the Makefile on my local Linux machine and these
tests work. I need Bill to help adding them permanently before I can
test on an NCSA machine. I checked the files in now so Bill can do 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.
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
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
Platforms tested:
Linux
