Ran bin/reconfigure to update the Makefile.in in directories not part of the fortran directory check=in. Updates Makefile.in due to changes made in configure.in for the Fortran 2003 additions.
Tested on all platforms run under daily tests.
General shared library improvements for CYGWIN / AIX
Description:
Shared libraries are disabled on both CYGWIN and AIX due
to inability to build them correctly. Part of the problem
in both of these situations is the lack of the libtool
flag -no-undefined, which tells libtool that all needed
symbols are defined at link time (a requirement on these
systems) and that it's okay to build shared libraries.
Another problem are lack of dependencies between wrapper
libraries and core C HDF5 library.
This patch addresses both of these by fixing configure to
add in -no-undefined flag for libtool during linking and
adds automake dependencies in the Makefile.am files.
After testing, both CYGWIN and AIX now generate shared
libraries, but there are still some test failures in each.
(cache_api, dt_arith, and testerror.sh on CYGWIN, and
fortran tests on AIX).
Even though the shared libraries are not quite perfect,
this is a general improvement to what we had before, so
I'm applying the patch anyways. Note that default behavior
of shared libraries on these systems being disabled has
NOT been changed and requires the use of the
--enable-unsupported to attempt to build them.
We will need to address the test failures in each
architecture prior to formally supporting shared
libraries on each.
Tested:
h5committested & CYGWIN tested (on bangan)
(AIX tested by Albert on bp-login2)
Add "silent make" mode configure option.
Description:
Automake 1.11 has a new option available that allows for a
silent make mode. This functionality needs to be explicitly
enabled in configure.in via the use of the automake macro
AM_SILENT_RULES, which is what this commit is adding.
This introduces a new configure option:
--{en|dis}able-silent-rules
This option is on by default, and simplies compile and link
line outputs when building the library. Disabling this option
will print full "verbose" output (i.e., full compile and
linking lines for each target).
Tested:
This was tested on jam & h5committested
- Revise shared Fortran library disabling scenarios in configure
- Improve configure output summary
Description:
Shared Fortran libraries are not supported on Mac, but were being
disabled by configure in a way that also forced the C libraries
to be static-only. This has been fixed, so now only shared Fortran
is disabled while shared C can remain.
This prompted two additional changes:
1. While working on the check that addresses whether or not
shared Fortran libraries are allowed, removed old and no
longer needed check(s) that disable shared Fortran
libraries with HP, Intel 8, PGI, and Absoft compilers.
(Essentially, Mac is the only situation in which Fortran
shared are disabled by configure.)
2. Having two different states of libraries (i.e. shared C
library with static-only Fortran library) was not apparent
in the configure summary, which labeled all libraries as
either shared and/or static. I've added lines to both the
C++ and Fortran output sections to list shared/static-ness
of these libraries specifically.
Additionally, I've made sure that the new --enable-unsupported
configure option correctly overrides configure if it tries to
disable a shared library.
Tested:
jam, fred, & h5committest
Corrected use/name of source folder aliases.
Duplicated FindMPI.cmake so that non-c++ compiler is found first (recommemded commands did not work).
Tested: local linux with mpich
Clean up misc. compiler warnings.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.3 (duty) in debug mode
Mac OS X/32 10.6.4 (amazon) w/C++ & FORTRAN, w/threadsafe,
in production mode
Mac OS X/32 10.6.4 (amazon) w/parallel, in debug mode
Improve configure's large-file support control.
Description:
Modified configure to now attempt to add defines necessary for
supporting largefiles on all systems, instead of solely on linux. This
is in response to user requests to enable largefile support on Solaris
by default, as well as to give extra control on AIX (instead of just
jamming the necessary flag into the config files).
The old --enable-linux-lfs flag has been removed in favor of the
--enable-largefile flag (enabled by default), which can be used on all
platforms.
On systems where large files cannot be supported in this manner,
configure will report as such.
Tested:
h5committest
AIX (NCSA's blue_print machine)
duty, liberty, and linew.
Autotool Upgrade / Libtool Bug Fix
Description:
Updated autotools referenced in bin/reconfigure as follows:
Autoconf 2.64 --> Autoconf 2.65
Automake 1.11 --> Automake 1.11.1
Libtool 2.2.6a --> Libtool 2.2.6b-mcg
The referenced libtool version is a custom version of 2.2.6b. It
has been tweaked to fix a bug in libtool that occurs
when using PGI 10.0 compilers. A check incorrectly categorizes
the C++ compiler as version 1.0 instead of 10.0, and the link
line is subsequently set up incorrectly and fails to compile.
A patch has been made available and will be included in the next
release of libtool, but in the meantime I've applied the patch to a custom
installation as indicated above. This bin/reconfigure now references
the custom installation, and the resulting configure script will correctly
categorize the PGI 10.0 C++ compiler.
Ran bin/reconfigure to regenerate configure and makefiles.
Tested:
jam and amani with PGI 10.0 compilers.
h5committest
The mixed use of RUNTEST (original) and RUNTESTS (new) caused
confusion. E.g., the timings in test/ was still using the old
$RUNTEST. It made more sense to use $RUNTEST which is used
by the dejagnu feature of automake. So, I changed all
$RUNTEST or $RUNTESTS to $RUNEXEC.
config/commence.am & config/conclude.am are the two files
that got changes. Also fixed an error in test/Makefile.am.
The rest are changed by bin/reconfigure.
Tested: h5committested.
CFLAGS overhaul
Description:
Modified the way configure handles CFLAGS.
(note: all changes also apply to FCFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS).
1. The configure process will now always preserve a user's CFLAGS
environment variable setup. Any additional flags necessary for compilation
added at configure time will be passed into the Makefiles as AM_CFLAGS,
which is an automake construct to be used in addition to CFLAGS.
This will allow a user to have the final say, as CFLAGS will always appear
later in the compile line than AM_CFLAGS. Additionally, setting CFLAGS
during make will no longer completely erase all flags set by configure,
since they're maintained in AM_CFLAGS.
2. Additionally, where possible, flags previously being assigned directly
into CFLAGS (and thus propagating into h5cc) have now been redirected into
H5_CFLAGS, so they're used ONLY for compiling hdf5, and not embedded into
the h5cc wrapper script as well.
*Note that H5_CFLAGS ultimately is assigned into AM_CFLAGS for use in the
Makefiles. Complete description of changes and build process will be
included in a Configure Document that Elena and I are working on.
3. Removed unsupported config files. This includes:
config/dec-osf*
config/hpux11.00
config/irix5.x
config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x
config/rs6000-ibm-aix5.x
config/unicos*
4. Modified configure summary to display additional values. Specifically,
appropriate AM_* variables are being shown, as well as H5_FCFLAGS and
H5_CXXFLAGS, which were for some reason not already present.
Tested:
- H5committest
- Tested on all THG / NCSA machines, using several combinations of the more
prominent configure options (c++, fortran, szip, threadsafe, parallel,
et cetera). (Thanks to Quincey for rysnc testing setup!)
- With regards to new automated testing, anything *necessary* for
compilation will be caught by the daily tests as it stands now. (i.e.,
if LDFLAGS is not properly set when szip is used, linking will fail).
Additionally, with regards to which flags get into h5cc, if any
*necessary* flags have been improperly removed, then daily tests should
fail during make installcheck. Additional machine-specific desired
behaviors and/or checks may have to be set up separately within the
daily tests, so this is something to work on.
Updating autotools
Description:
Installed new autotools and used them to reconfigure HDF5.
- Automake upgraded to 1.11
- Autoconf upgraded to 2.64
- bin/reconfigure script edited to use new versions (on jam), and
run to generate new configure script and Makefile.in's.
- configure.in script edited to add "_cv_" to all AC_CACHE_VAL strings
(in order to comply with new autoconf standard).
Tested:
Tested on machines jam, smirom, liberty, linew.
Tested w/ features c++, fortran, parallel.
Tested w/ compilers gcc, pgcc, icc.
Further testing via Daily Tests should catch any other outliers. Upon
passing DT's, I'll propogate the new tools into 1.8, hdf4, et cetera.
Fix BZ #1583
Description:
The --enable-static-exec flag was broken. Configure was adding the
-all-static linker flag to an environment variable which was subsequently
never used. (looks like it was used in 1.6 Makefile.ins, but never
moved to 1.8's Makefile.ams when we added automake support).
To fix, I've added this environment varibale to the link lines of all the
tools. Now, when --enable-static-exec is invoked, it will correctly
generate statically linked executables in the installed bin directory.
Tested:
I've tested manually to ensure that the generated execs are static when
the flag is used and dynamic when not. I've also tested when szip is
used, as this was a use case mentioned in the bug report.
Also: ran full tests with make check on jam and smirom for good measure.
- Updated bin/reconfigure to use latest version of automake (1.10.2).
Re-generated Makefile.in's by running bin/reconfigure.
- Added libtool version numbers to c++, fortran, hl, hl c++, and hl fortran
libraries.
Tested:
jam, liberty, smirom
Bug Fix
Description:
Fixing BZ #1381. The --includedir=DIR configure option, which is used
to specify the installation location of C header files, did not work
correctly as the path was hard-coded in config/commence.am. I'm presuming
this is because an older version of automake didn't know where to put
c header files. In any case, removing this line now defaults the includedir
to the same directory that it is currently hard-coded to, and also fixes
the configure flag to allow customization of this value.
Tested:
jam, liberty
the way h5ls prints types, it starts searching for NATIVE types first. One solution would be h5ls not to detect these native types, using for example the same print datatype function that h5dump does, that would make the output look the same on all platforms ("32-bit little-endian integer" would be printed instead). Drawback, this "native" information would not be available. Other solution is to have not one but 2 expected outputs and make the shell script detect the endianess and compare with one output or other
tested: h5committest
Description:
- Remove need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using shared szip library.
- Libtool 2.2.6a is now used to generate libraries.
- 'make check install' dependency bug is fixed, and should no longer
break the build.
- removed hard coding of shell in config/commence.am, as this causes
problems on Solaris with the new version of libtool.
- RELEASE.txt with appropriate changes.
Tested:
- kagiso, smirom, linew (merged from 1.8, pretty quick tests)
Remove trailing whitespace from C/C++ source files, with the following
script:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.5.5 (amazon)
No need for h5committest, just whitespace changes...
