Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code cleanup for better compatibility with C++ compilers
Description:
C++ compilers are choking on our C code, for various reasons:
we used our UNUSED macro incorrectly when referring to pointer types
we used various C++ keywords as variables, etc.
we incremented enum's with the ++ operator.
Solution:
Changed variables, etc.to avoid C++ keywords (new, class, typename, typeid,
template)
Fixed usage of UNUSED macro from this:
char UNUSED *c
to this:
char * UNUSED c
Switched the enums from x++ to x=x+1
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New Features!
Description:
Start migrating the internal use of property lists in the library from the
older implementation to the new generic property lists.
Currently, only the dataset transfer property lists are migrated to the
new architecture, all the rest of the property list types are still using
the older architecture.
Also, the backward compatibility features are not implemented yet, so
applications which use dataset transfer properties may need to make the
following changes:
H5Pcreate(H5P_DATASET_XFER) -> H5Pcreate_list(H5P_DATASET_XFER_NEW)
and
H5Pclose(<a dataset transfer property list>) -> H5Pclose_list(id)
This still may have some bugs in it, especially with Fortran, but I should
be wrapping up those later today.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Bug Fix, Code Cleanup, Code Optimization, etc.
Description:
Fold in the hyperslab speedups, clean up compile warnings and change a
few things from using 'unsigned' or 'hsize_t' to use 'size_t' instead.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind), Solaris 2.7 (arabica), Irix64 6.5 (modi4)
Update
Description:
Changed includes of the form:
#include <hdf5_file.h>
to
#include "hdf5_file.h"
so that gcc can pick them up easier without including the system
header files since we don't care about them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Code tweak
Description:
Large data arrays were being created on the stack.
Solution:
Hoisted the data variables out of the function(s) and make into static
variables.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Clean up warnings
Description:
The "FAILED" macro is defined by Windows and is causing warnings and
potential errors when compiled on that platform.
Solution:
Change our macro from FAILED to H5_FAILED.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Bug fix
Description:
Datasets were allowed to be created with chunks larger than the maximum
dimension for each dimension.
Solution:
Wrote test to verify new error checking is working correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Code cleanup.
Description:
Fixed _lots_ (I mean _tons_) of warnings spit out by the gcc with the
extra warnings. Including a few show-stoppers for compression on IRIX
machines.
Solution:
Changed lots of variables' types to more sensible and consistent types,
more range-checking, more variable typecasts, etc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind), IRIX64-64 (modi4)
Bug fix.
Description:
Properly detect whether the library has compression support and skip
tests (with messages) if there is no compression.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Backward compatibility code
Description:
Add in code to allow the library to emulate the v1.2 API and behavior.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
The "FILENAME" declared extern in h5test.h is not always used.
It was used in h5_cleanup to remove temporary files created
during tests. Not all tests codes have used this routine.
Indeed, quite a few of test programs do "#define FILENAME ".
Also, h5_cleanup needs to work in tandem with h5_fixname.
h5_fixname accepts an explicite base_name argument instead
of using the global variable FILENAME. That is cleaner.
Solution:
Added char *base_name[] as a new argument to h5_cleanup, in
the same style as h5_fixname. Removed "extern char *FILENAME..."
from use. Also, undo some unnecessary declaration of "char *FILENAME"
from some tests which don't use it at all (yet).
Platforms tested:
modi4-64(irix64), arabica(solari2.7), eirene(linux)
(arabica could not launch tests automatically. I had to hack
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make them run.)

The split driver was reimplemented as a more general "multi"
driver which is capable of splitting data into multiple files
like the family driver except the partioning is done by memory
usage type instead of address. The H5Pset_fapl_split()
function just calls H5Pset_fapl_multi() with arguments which
prepare to split the address space into two files: meta and
raw data.
This is the first version. I plan to allow the open() call to
relax a bit which would allow one to open an hdf5 file when
only the meta-data file is present. This would allow a very
large file to be split and stored on tape and the relatively
small meta file to be mirrored on disk to allow limited
browsing of the file (any request for raw data would fail).

Added the ability for a file driver to store information in
the superblock which would be needed if the file were opened
again later for reading. The format is driver-defined which
allows users to extend it however they like.

The default file sizeof(offset) was changed to be a function
of haddr_t instead of hsize_t.
THE H5RPUBLIC.H DEFINITIONS WILL HAVE PROBLEMS IF THE USER

./src/H5F.c
Fixed an uninitialized memory access bug in file closing
related to the VFL.
./src/H5T.c

./test/big.c
Plugged a memory leak.
./test/h5test.c
Added support for the `multi' driver.
Removed #warning about not having the stdio driver. Plans are
to not implement it since the sec2 driver serves the same
purpose and testing didn't show any difference in execution
times between the two.
----------------------
This extensive change is the virtual file layer implementation. I've
ported and tested the sec2, family, and core drivers and only ported
the mpio driver (Albert will test it). So if you need MPIO I would
recommend sticking with the previous version for a while.
You will get a few compile warnings about split and stdio drivers not
being implemented and possibly tracing information not inserted in
some of the drivers. You can safely ignore them but I plan to fix
them.
I'm still working on the split driver because I just realized that it
needs a part of the VFL that isn't written yet.
Documentation is being updated also because there were some minor
changes (mostly just name changes). It should be available on my web
site later this week.

Modified to work with the virtual file layer by calling H5FD_*
functions instead of H5F_low_* functions and by passing file
access and data transfer properties by object ID instead of
pointer.
Changed H5D_transfer_t to H5FD_mpio_xfer_t since the
COLLECTIVE vs. INDEPENDENT transfer mode is specific to the
MPIO file driver.
Moved MPIO-specific stuff into the MPIO driver.
./src/H5B.c

Added major error number H5E_VFL for virtual file layer
related errors.
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
Changed the logic that controls whether the boot block is
written. Instead of assuming that the first call to write the
boot block is only to allocate space, I've added a function
argument which makes this explicit.
Changed the way files are compared so that a driver-defined
comparison function can be called. Files which belong to
different drivers are always considered different.
Removed H5F_driver_t since file drivers are now identified by
object ID instead of a special non-user-extendible datatype.
Removed all the hard-coded low-level file properties which
have been replaced by the various file drivers.
./src/H5I.c
./src/H5Iprivate.h
Added the H5I_inc_ref() which was removed a few months ago

./src/H5Ipublic.h
Added the H5I_VFL object ID type to identify file drivers in
the virtual file layer.
./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
Moved all the allocation/deallocation code into the virtual

required for compression.

Most of these changes are because the `interface_initialize_g'
variable change from hbool_t to int. It's a one line change.
Changed the way the library is closed so we have more control
over the order the interfaces are shut down. Instead of
registering an atexit() function for every interface in some
haphazard order we just register one: H5_term_library() which
then calls the H5*_term_interface() functions in a
well-defined order.
If the library is closed and then reopened repeatedly by
calling H5close() and H5open() in a loop we only add one copy
of the library termination functions with atexit().
Termination is a two-step process in order to help detect
programming errors that would cause an infinite loop caused by
the termination of one interface waking up some other
previously terminated interface. The first step terminates
the interface and *marks it as unusable*. After all
interfaces are terminated then we mark them all as usable
again. The FUNC_ENTER() macro has been modified to return
failure or to dump core (depending on whether NDEBUG is
defined) if we try to call an interface while it's shutting
down.
./src/H5.c
The H5dont_atexit() function returns failure if it's called
more than once or if it's called too late. However, the error
stack is not automatically printed on failure because the

Support library for test files. This isn't done yet but
Katie's contractions are ~10 minutes apart so I figured I
better back this stuff up just in case I'm not here next
week...
Eventually all test files will understand HDF5_DRIVER to name
the low level file driver and parameters so we can easily test
various drivers. They will also understand HDF5_PREFIX to
prepend to the beginning of file names which is necessary for
testing ROMIO with various drivers. Also, the cleanup function
will know how to use the file name prefix and will understand
different file driver naming schemes like file families. I'm
not sure they'll understand the `gsf:' type prefixes yet.
Note, the external test is completely commented out because
I'm in the middle of modifying it. It will still compile and
run but it doesn't test anything at the moment.

Added more configuration stuff for the Win32 environment. Removed all
the #ifdef WIN32 from the source and replaced them with OS-independent
stuff. Specifics follow:
Check for non-Posix.1 `st_blocks' field in `struct stat' which is used
by the big file test to decide if the file system supports holes. If
the st_blocks field isn't present then we just skip the test.
Configure checks for <io.h> <sys/resource.h> <sys/time.h> and
<winsock.h> and defines HAVE_IO_H, HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H,
HAVE_SYS_TIME_H and HAVE_WINSOCK_H when they're found.
Configure checks whether both <sys/time.h> and <time.h> can be
included and defines SYS_TIME_WITH_TIME if so. Otherwise include only
<sys/time.h> or <time.h> even if both exist.
Configure checks sizeof(__int64) and defines SIZEOF___INT64 to the
result or to zero if __int64 isn't defined. The source uses `long
long' in preference to `__int64'.
Removed null WIN32 definition for `inline' since such a definition
already exists in H5config.h
Protected gettimeofday() calls in debugging code with
HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY instead of WIN32.

./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5private.h
Removed #include of system files from library source files and
consolodated them into H5private.h where they're protected by various
configuration macros (most of them were duplicated there already
anyway).
./test/big.c
./test/chunk.c

./test/links.c
./test/mount.c
./test/mtime.c
./test/overhead.c
./test/ragged.c
./test/shtype.c
./test/unlink.c
Protected system #include's with #ifdef's from H5config.h.
Undefined NDEBUG since some of the tests rely on assert() to check
return values.
Removed WIN32 definitions for __unused__ since this can be controlled
by the definition of HAVE_ATTRIBUTE in H5config.h
./test/testhdf5.h
Removed the CLEAN_CMD definition because we no longer use it.
Albert's cleanup() functions replaced it.
./test/fillval.c
Initialized auto hid_t variables to fix warnings in error recovery
code when data flow analysis is turned on in compilers.
./test/h5tools.c
Initialized an auto variable to fix a compiler warning.
./test/chunk.c
./test/ragged.c
The WIN32 had some unsigned variables changed to signed because the
compiler generates warnings when coercing unsigned to double(?). I
changed them back to unsigned because they really are unsigned
quantities. If this the change was just to shut up extraneous warnings
then perhaps a compiler flag can do the same; otherwise if the
compiler generates bad code then we should supply a patch file instead
messing up source code with bug work-arounds.
./src/H5detect.c
Protected system #include's with #ifdef's from H5config.h thereby
removing a WIN32.
If getpwuid() doesn't exist (HAVE_GETPWUID) then we assume that
`struct passwd' doesn't exist either (we don't really need it in that
case).
The H5T_NATIVE_LLONG and H5T_NATIVE_ULLONG are defined in terms of
`long long' or else `__int64' or else `long' depending on what's
available.
./src/H5Flow.c
./src/H5Ofill.c
Added __unused__ to some function arguments that aren't used when
assertions are turned off.
./src/H5V.c
Changed an auto variable name in some hand-inlined code to get rid of
a warning about the variable shadowing a previous auto.
----------------------
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
./test/chunk.c
./test/dsets.c
The number of slots in the raw data cache can be queried or
set with H5Pget/set_cache(), which now take an extra argument.
The default number of slots is 521 and the default maximum
size is 1MB.
./src/H5Fistore.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
Finished optimizations. The cache is now a hash and a linked
list instead of an array. The cpu time on my machine for
H5F_istore_lock() has been cut by 60% and H5F_istore_unlock() by
35%.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
Removed duplicate Ragged.html
./doc/src/Glossary.html
Changed 1.0 to 1.2 since 1.0 is the current development
branch, 1.1 will be development after beta release, and 1.2
will be the first complete release (see Version.html).
./test/dsets.c
./test/tstab.c
Added more tests.
----------------------
./src/H5.c
Fixed an argument promotion bug in HDfprintf()
./src/H5Fistore.c
Fixed a array bounds read error.
./src/H5HG.c
Fixed uninitialized (but unused) data appearing in the hdf5
file, a potential security problem.
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpublic.h
Added new data types for hdf5 types: H5T_NATIVE_HSIZE,
H5T_NATIVE_HSSIZE, H5T_NATIVE_HERR, and H5T_NATIVE_HBOOL. I
did not add H5T_NATIVE_HID since I couldn't think of a reason
that it would be stored in a file anyway.
----------------------
./src/H5Fistore.c
Fixed a bug that caused the wrong number of chunk offsets to
be read or written from the file.
./src/H5Z.c
Fixed a memory bug.
./test/dtypes.c
Removed redundant tests.
./bin/snapshot
Removed Perl code from a shell script. Oops :-)
./src/H5D.c
Removed cvs merge conflicts.
./src/H5Omtime.c
Fixed a typo in the Irix5.3 code.
./src/H5S.c
Fixed a memory leak.
./src/H5Shyper.c
Fixed a bad call to malloc() that didn't allocate enough
memory. Reordered a comparison to eliminate an array bounds
read error.
----------------------
./bin/release
Added ./Makefile to the distribution again -- it got lost in
the changes last week although it isn't all that important a
file since it gets clobbered by configure anyway.

./tools/h5ls.c
Added the data filter pipeline, a generalization of the
compression stuff which allows things like checksums,
encryption, compression, performance monitoring, etc. See
./doc/html/Filters.html for details -- it replaces the
Compression.html doc.
./src/H5T.c
Cleaned up debugging output.
./config/linux
Added checks for egcs and pgcc and changed optimization flags
for the compilers.
./src/H5G.c
./tools/h5dump.c
Fixed compiler warnings in these files and others.
./configure.in
./src/H5private.h

Added a check for difftime() and defined HDdifftime() to do
something else on systems that don't have difftime().
----------------------
./src/H5Gpublic.h
./src/H5Gprivate.h
./src/H5G.c
./test/dsets.c

Added the H5Gset_comment() and H5Gget_comment() functions
described in an earlier e-mail.
./src/H5.c
Fixed a bug in the tracing code that caused certain data space
enum types to not be printed. Nested case statements can get
confusing to the eyes!
./tools/h5ls.c
Prints the first 50 bytes or so of object comments.

./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
./test/external.c
./test/tattr.c
./test/th5s.c
Organized the predefined data types.
./html/H5.intro.html
NO MODIFICATIONS! This file is a mess (obviously generated
from something else) so I skipped updating it!
./src/h5ls.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/tattr.c
./test/th5s.c
Added extra argument to H5Sget_dims() calls per Albert's last
update.
----------------------
./html/tracing.html NEW
This entire update is to make it possible for the library to
print the name, arguments, and return value of every API call
without requiring any extra work from developers or app
programmers. This file describes how this all works.
./configure.in
Added the `--enable-tracing' switch. If you use it then the
library will include code to print API function names,
argument names and values, and function return values.
However, you must then turn on the tracing by setting the
HDF5_TRACE environment variable to a file descriptor number.
The default is `--disable-tracing' since enabling it causes a
slight increase in library size and a slowdown resulting from
an extra function call for each API function call (I couldn't
even measure the slowdown :-)
./bin/trace NEW
A perl script that synchronizes the H5TRACE() macro calls in
the *.c files with the function return type and formal
argument names and types. If you use GNU make and gcc then
this will be done automatically, otherwise just invoke this
script with the names of one or more .c files. You could do
it by hand to, but encoding argument types is a little tricky
at first.
./config/commence.in
Added the $(TRACE) macro, which defaults to the no-op.
Added -D_POSIX_SOURCE to the compiler command line.
./src/Makefile.in
Override the default for $(TRACE).
./config/depend.in
Automatically calls $(TRACE) to synchronize the H5TRACE()
macros in any source file that changed. As with makefile
dependencies, one way to force synchronization of all files is
to remove the `.depend' file.
./MANIFEST
Added new files.
./src/H5Eprivate.h
Modified HRETURN_ERROR() and HRETURN() for tracing.
./src/H5.c
./src/H5private.h
This is where the real tracing work really happens, in
H5_trace().
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5S.c
./src/H5Z.c
Added H5TRACE() calls to all API functions. You don't really
need these changes if you don't want to merge your stuff
because they can be generated automatically by going to the
hdf5/src directory and saying ../bin/trace *.c
./src/H5T.c
Added H5TRACE() calls. Other stuff below.
./src/H5E.c
./src/H5Epublic.h
Added H5TRACE() calls. Created a type H5E_auto_t for the
`func' argument of H5Eset_auto() and H5Eget_auto() to make
those arguments easier to parse for tracing. It should also
make it clearer for users that don't know how to read
complicated ANSI data types.
./src/H5F.c
Added H5TRACE() calls. Changed a couple `uintn' argument
types in API functions to `unsigned int' since `uintn' part of
the API. Changed a few "can't" and "cant" error messages to
"unable to".
./src/H5Ipublic.h
Removed H5_DIRECTORY from the H5I_group_t enum. It wasn't
used anywhere.
./src/H5Tconv.c
Removed an unused label.
./src/H5Fistore.c
./src/H5Oattr.c
./src/H5Odtype.c
./src/H5T.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
Fixed a warning about a variable possibly used before it's
initialized. Added __unused__ to turn off some unused
argument warnings that pop up when debugging is turned off and
optimizations are turned on.
./src/H5F.c
./src/HFcore.c
./src/H5Ffamily.c
./src/H5Flow.c
./src/H5Fmpio.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5Fsec2.c
./src/H5Fsplit.c
./src/H5Fstdio.c
./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
Added H5Pset_alignment() so that it is now possible to align
file allocation requests on application-specified
boundaries. Any request >= the specified threshold will begin
on an address which is a multiple of the specified
alignment. Defaults are one for threshold and alignment. The
alignment is done on relative addresses, so the size of the
user block can affect the location of the data in the file.
./src/H5D.c
./src/dsets.c
Added a test for, and fixed the data space caching bug in
datasets. Extending a dataset through one handle will cause
all other handles to the same dataset to get the new dataset
size.
./src/H5S.c
./src/H5Sprivate.h
Removed an unused argument from H5S_read() which duplicated
information from the other argument.
./config/linux
Made `--enable-parallel' the default on my system. It used to
be that way before but then I accidently turned it off and
forgot about it.
./src/H5Fmpio.c
Qualified some function arguments with __unused__. Changed a
couple places where NULL was returned on error for herr_t
functions.
./src/H5P.c
Removed unused autos from H5Pset_mpi().
----------------------
./src/H5A.c
Named data types can have attributes.
Fixed bugs where the API functions didn't check the return
values of their internal counterparts and thus the automatic
error reporting didn't work.
Fixed some places where the error stack wasn't cleared after a
function returned failure.
Data types returned by H5Aget_type() are always read-only.
If the `attr_num' argument of H5Aiterate() is null then it
acts like H5Giterate() instead of failing -- it begins
processing attributes with the first one.
./src/H5D.c
We check for allocation overruns when scalar datasets are
stored in external files.
./src/H5O.c
H5O_modify() will fail if the message is >=16kB.
./src/H5Oattr.c
Split some long lines
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Added H5T_entof() to support attributes on named types.
./src/h5ls.c
Prints the names of attributes and their sizes.
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
./test/links.c
./test/shtype.c
If the environment variable HDF5_NOCLEANUP is defined then the
temporary files are not removed. The testhdf5 program still
has the bug that it removes *.h5, clobbering test files from
other programs... oh well.
./test/dtypes.c
Added attribute tests.
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Osdspace.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5Z.c
./test/big.c
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/extend.c
./test/istore.c
Now that I have a home-grown version of Purify I fixed all the
leaks in all the test files.
----------------------
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5T.c
Fixed memory leaks. More to come later but PureAtria doesn't
make a Linux version of purify and the free version doesn't
compile with the new SMP Linux kernels so I had to debug over
the internet on a day that Sprint seemed to be having routing
problems... oh well. I got rid of most of the leaks.
./src/H5Apublic.h
Includes H5Ipublic.h for types in the header file.
./src/H5O.c
Comments improved for H5O_read()
./test/tattr.c
Removed a non-ANSI empty initializer.
./test/dsets.c
Include <string.h>
./test/istore.c
Fixed a non-ANSI pointer conversion.
----------------------
./bin/release
./src/H5.c
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5public.h
./src/H5Fpublic.h
Changed the version number constants to names that begin with
H5_VERS_ and added macros that check that the version numbers
in the include files match the version number of the library.
./MANIFEST
./html/H5.user.html
./html/Version.html [NEW]
./html/version.obj [NEW]
./html/version.gif [NEW]
Documented version numbers and the macros, constants, and
functions associated with them.
./bin/versinc
A perl script that increments the minor version number and
sets the patch level back to zero. This is intended to be
invoked from the top of the source tree by a cvs commit
anywhere in the source tree. Quincey?
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
Added H5O_count() to count the number of object header
messages of a particular type. Quincey needs this for the
attribute package.
./test/dsets.c
Fixed warnings. Enabled the small strip-mine buffer test.
./config/linux
Added optimizations for the Pentium-Pro for production mode.
----------------------
This checkin completes the compression stuff almost two weeks ahead of
schedule. It should now all be working and documented.
./Makefile.in
./config/commence.in
A distclean causes the distribution makefile to be copied to
Makefile again.
./src/H5D.c
Opening a compressed dataset now works properly.
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
The H5Pset_compression() and H5Pget_compression() now work as
documented.
./src/H5T.c
Fixed a bug that causes the library to crash sometimes if
debugging is turned on for the `t' package.
./src/H5Z.c
Fixed a bug where the number of bytes attributed to
compression overruns was too low in the debugging output.
./test/dsets.c
More compression tests: reading of uninitialized data, opening
an existing dataset and reading it, partial I/O which isn't
aligned on chunk boundaries, and use of application-defined
compression methods.
./MANIFEST
Removed ./test/dspace.c.
----------------------
./html/Compression.html [NEW]
./html/Datasets.html
./html/H5.format.html
./html/H5.user.html
Documented compression. A couple of the H5P functions aren't
quite implemented yet but they're coming soon...

./src/Makefile.in
./src/hdf5.h
./test/dsets.c
./test/istore.c
Compression is now mostly working. Don't try to open a
compressed dataset though because the compression message
won't be read.
./html/Datatypes.html
./html/H5.api.html
./src/H5.c
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tprivate.h
./src/H5Tpublic.h
Added timing support. When compiled with H5T_DEBUG defined
the library will print conversion bandwidths when the library
closes. The H5Tregister functions take a string as the first
argument so the statistics output is meaningful.
./MANIFEST
Added new files.
./configure.in
./src/H5config.h.in
Check for getrusage(). Check for compress2() in libz.a and
the zlib.h header file. Added `z' to the debug list.
./src/H5B.c
./src/H5Bprivate.h
./src/H5Gnode.c
./src/debug.c
Cleaned up some indentation and added support to print istore
B-trees. From the debugger, give the B-tree address and the
dimensionality from the layout message of the object header.
./src/h5ls.c
The oid is printed as w❌y:z where w and x are the file ID
and y and z are the OID within the file. You can give z or
y*2^32+z as an argument to the debugger to print the object
header for the object.
./src/H5AC.c
Cleaned up statistics and made them match those reported by
H5T and H5Z.
./src/H5MM.c
./src/H5MMprivate.h
./src/H5Fistore.c
Finally got rid of a couple of long-standing const cast
warnings.

./test/th5s.c
Anything having to do with the size of a dataset now uses the
types `hsize_t' and `hssize_t' which must be the same size and
at least as large as `size_t'. This isn't fully tested yet,
so hsize_t and hssize_t are defined as size_t and ssize_t in
H5public.h. Setting them to larger values will trip up gcc
versions less than 2.8.1 on x86 platforms.
Documented unused function formals with `__unused__' before
the formal name. This also has the effect of supressing
warning messages for gcc since it's defined to be
`__attribute__((unused))' in the H5private.h file.
./src/debug.c
./src/h5ls.c
If the file name contains a `%' then the file is opened as a
file family with H5P_DEFAULT for the file member access
property list.
./src/h5ls.c
The group name is optional, defaulting to `/'.
./src/hdf5.h
Added some missing public header files.
----------------------
./configure.in
Moved setting of compiler warning switches earlier in the file.
Turned on more warning switches to gcc.
./config/linux
Prints a warning if the gcc version is less than 2.8.1 since
that version has problems with register allocation for `long
long'.
./html/Datatypes.html
Documented sharing of data types between datasets.
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gpublic.h
Implemented H5Gmove(), H5Glink() and H5Gunlink() for hard
links. Still have soft links to do.

Fixed comparisons between signed and unsigned values. Fixed
warnings about unused function arguments.
----------------------
./configure.in
./configure
./test/iopipe.c
Added check for system(3)
./config/freebsd2.2.1
./config/linux
Added -DH5D_DEBUG to the debug flags.
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Dprivate.h
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
./src/H5Sprivate.h
./src/H5Ssimp.c
./html/Datasets.html
Finally implemented strip mining in the I/O pipeline, placing
a user-defined upper bound on the amount of temporary memory
used by the pipeline. The default is 1MB type conversion and
background buffers allocated/freed on demand. However, the
size can be changed and/or application-allocated buffers
supplied with H5Pset_buffers() called on the data transfer
property list passed to H5Dread() and H5Dwrite().
Minor optimizations to H5Dread() and H5Dwrite(). More coming
later...
./test/dsets.c
Added calls to H5Pset_buffer() to test application-defined
temporary buffers in the I/O pipeline.
./test/Makefile.in
Removed `iopipe' from the list of confidence tests. Saying
`make timings' in the test directory runs timing tests. I did
this because (1) they don't really test anything new, and (2)
they can take a long time to run.
----------------------
./src/H5D.c
./test/external.c
A contiguous dataset can now be stored in external files in
such a way that the slowest varying dimension can be increased
after the dataset is created and even written. The user must
have reserved enough space in the external file and the data
space must allow an increase the the slowest varying dimension.
See test_3() of ./test/external.c
./src/H5Oefl.c
./configure.in
./src/H5Fprivate.h
Fixed an overflow bug with unlimited external storage.
./src/H5V.c
Fixed a cast warning.
./test/dsets.c
Make better use of automatic error reporting.

./html/Files.html
./html/H5.api.html
./html/review1.html
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5public.h
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
Removed all the types like `int32' and `intn' into private
headers since they violate the naming scheme and pollute
application name space. Besides, our test files only use them
in a handful of places and it's probably useless to export
them to the app. The app is always written in terms of
standard numeric types or its own numeric types and probably
never in terms of HDF5 numeric types. If it were, then the
user would have to copy from their type to hdf5 type for
almost every hdf5 API function call! Same goes for return
values. I also removed SUCCEED/FAIL from the API since apps
should be checking against zero anyway.
if (FAIL==(space=H5Screate_simple(...))) /*wrong*/
if ((space=H5Fcreate_simple(...)<0)) /*right*/
./src/H5.c
Changed arguments of H5version() from `uintn' to `unsigned'.
./src/H5Tpublic.h
./src/H5T.c
Changed return type of H5Tget_nmembers() from `intn' to `int'
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5Aprivate.h
./src/H5Apublic.h
Changed `H5Asearch_func_t' to `H5A_search_func_t' and moved
its definition from the public to the private header file.
./html/H5.format.html
Documented changes made to the external file list (H5O_EFL)
message.
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Dprivate.h
./src/H5E.c
./src/H5Epublic.h
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
Added partial support for external raw data files. HDF5 can
now describe external raw data files by listing the file
names, offsets, and size for a dataset. However, we will
restrict a dataset to be stored "contiguously" when the
external file list is viewed as a single address space. The
current implementation is unable to read/write to external
files--that will come later this week as will documentation.
For now, take a look at ./test/external.c, particularly the
calls to H5Pset_external().
./test/Makefile.in
./test/external.c [NEW]
./MANIFEST
Added tests for external storage. Note: the read test is
supposed to fail at this point since reading external datasets
is not implemented yet. There is no write test.
./src/H5S.c
./src/H5Sprivate.h
./src/H5Ssimp.c
Added H5S_get_npoints_max() to return the maximum possible
number of data points in a data space.
Added an extra argument to H5S_get_dims() which returns the
maximum dims.
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5Fpublic.h
./src/H5M.c [DEPRICATED]
./src/H5Mpublic.h [DEPRICATED]
Changed `template' to `property list' in lots of places.
./src/H5Osdspace.c
Removed an extra `\n' from a print statement.
./src/H5S_public.h
Changed H5S_UNLIMITED to the maximum size_t value.
./test/extend.c
"Extendable" is spelled "extendible".
./src/H5Farray.c
./src/H5V.c
./src/H5Vprivate.h
./test/hyperslab.c
Strides are now type ssize_t instead of int. These have
nothing to do with the sample granularity arguments for
hyperslabs, which are also called "strides" in the code.
./test/tstab.c
Changed assumptions about default address and length sizes.
