Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches
difficult.
Solution:
Ran this script in each directory:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Refactor metadata cache to merge "dirtied" flag in with other flags for
H5AC_unprotect and H5C_unprotect.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)

Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag
into the cache code.
Description:
Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled
above the level of the metadata cache. This can no longer be allowed,
as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache
coherency bug in PHDF5.
Solution:
Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper.
Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call.

Misc. update:
Description: Restore 6 old error API functions back to the library to be backward
compatible with v1.6. They are H5Epush, H5Eprint, H5Ewalk, H5Eclear, H5Eset_auto,
H5Eget_auto. These functions do not have error stack as parameter.
Solution: Internally, these functions use default error stack.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up a bunch of warnings and bring new code better inline with current
library coding practice.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
If an HDF5 file grows larger than its address space, it dies and is unable to
write any data. This is more likely to happen since users are able to change
the number of bytes used to store addresses in the file.
Solution:
HDF5 now throws an error instead of dying. In addition, it "reserves" address
space for the local heap and for object headers (which do not allocate space
immediately). This ensures that after the error occurs, there is enough address
space left to flush the entire file to disk, so no data is lost.
A more complete explanation is at /doc/html/TechNotes/ReservedFileSpace.html
Platforms tested:

Description:
Clean up a few loose ends and warnings for the 1.6 compatibility changes
to the error API.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)

Update
Description:
Updated the Copyright statement
Platforms tested:
Linux (This change is only in the comments, so I just check that the
modules still compile)
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which
perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache
can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead
of collectively from all processes.
Solution:
Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which
could possibly trigger metadata I/O.
Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty
metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during
independent I/O.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel
Misc. update:
Updated release_docs/RELEASE
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
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)
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.)
----------------------
./src/H5T.c
Fixed a typo in the registration of the `unsigned char' to
`unsigned long long' type conversion that caused it to not be
registered, falling back to software whenever that conversion
path was taken.
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/testhdf5.c
./test/testhdf5.h
./test/theap.c [REMOVED]
./test/lheap.c [NEW]
./test/tohdr.c [REMOVED]
./test/ohdr.c [NEW]
./test/tstab.c [REMOVED]
./test/stab.c [NEW]
Removed the `t' from the front of these names and made each
test a stand-alone program following the format of most of the
other tests.
./test/big.c
Uses libh5test.a but always sets the low-level driver to 1GB
file family.
The `#if' near the top to set the data space to 8GB has been
simplified now that `long_long' is always defined and the
error message is improved when `long_long' isn't wide enough.
Cleanup code was added to the error handling.
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
Uses libh5test.a. Added error cleanup code.
./test/dtypes.c
./test/h5test.c
Added 68 new tests that check hardware and software
conversions between `long long' and `unsigned long long' and
the other integer types. The tests only run on machines where
sizeof(long_long)!=sizeof(long). We test a total of 180
different integer conversions, half in hardware and half in
software.
Cut down the number of times each test is run from 5 to 1 so
it doesn't take so long. If you want to run more times
there's a constant that can be changed at the top of the file.
./test/extend.c
Removed unused variable.
./test/h5test.c
./test/h5test.h
./test/external.c
./test/fillval.c
The h5_cleanup() returns true/false so it can be used in an `if'
statement to clean up additional files.
./doc/html/Environment.html
Indented. Added HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_DRIVER descriptions.
./src/H5P.c
Changed the trace type for the second argument from `Iu' to
`x' since it's an output parameter.
./INSTALL
Added a warning that the GNU zlib that comes with the latest
version of HDF4 is too old to use with HDF5 and must be
renamed so configure doesn't see it when `--enable-hdf4' is
used.
