h5dump output change, new tests
Description:
the storage layout output format the storage layout output format had some changes
same for the user defined filter
add an option (-y) for not printing the array indices (default is print indices )
the option for escaping non printable characters covers all characters (default is not escape)
(this might be not very portable, the test files are tstring.ddl and tstringe.ddl )
add tests for the new options
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
h5dump new feature
Description:
add processing of tab characters (in the context of the new option process CR/LF)
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux

Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
a prototype for a new function used by h5tools_str.c was accidently left in that file
the c++ treats this as an error
Solution:
removed the prototype, and pointed to the correct one (in h5tools_ref.h )
Platforms tested:
Free BSD (c++)
linux
Misc. update:
Description:
added the code for print strings with new line and display the path of references (new source files h5tools_ref.c and .h )
added a test suite in testh5dump.sh.in for
( note : to create testh5dump.sh , one must redo ./configure; this detects the availability of filters
and generates testh5dump.sh accordingly)
1) storage layout
2) fill value
3) print reference with path
4) print strings with new lines
5) filters

Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up lots of warnings based on those reported from the SGI compilers
as well as gcc.
Platforms tested:
SGI O3900, IRIX64 6.5 (Cheryl's SGI machine)
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/ & w/o parallel
h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Variable length strings and sequences with NULL pointers were not handled
by library, causing problems access the data. This also affected fill values
for variable-length datatypes.
Solution:
Address the issues in the library by detecting NULL sequences/strings
and avoid trying to convert them.
Patched up dumper to display NULL sequences/strings.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Change field member count and indices for compound and enumerated types from
'int' to 'unsigned' to better reflect actual use.
Cleaned up a few other minor compiler warnings, etc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena)
too minor to require h5committest
Bug fixes and code cleanup
Description:
Corrected output of array separator when vlen separator was needed.
datatypes.
Parts of formatting cleanup to greatly reduce the amount of trailing
whitespace emitted in output.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug fix/new feature
Description:
Teach h5dump/h5ls to display variable-length datatypes correctly.
Change "raw byte" output of array elements from "0xde8141b1a818" to
"de:81:41:b1:a8:18" so that it's easier for users to read.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)

Misc. update:
Patch provided by Robb Matzke (matzke@llnl.gov)
Migrate from configure macros of XYZ_ABC to H5_XYZ_ABC
Description:
configure generates many macros definitions on the fly and
were stored in src/H5config.h which is included by H5public.h.
But other software that uses hdf5 may also run their own configure.
There can be a clash in macro name space. We decided awhile ago
to prepend all generated macros with "H5_" to avoid conflicts.
The process has started and this commit completes it (at least attempt
to).
Solution:
Many macros symbols (e.g. SIZEOF_xxx and HAVE_xxx were changed to
H5_SIZEOF_xxx and H5_HAVE_xxx). Then H5private.h no longer includes
H5config.h. This cuts H5config.h away from HDF5 source code.
Pending issues:
The module of fortran and pablo are to be resolved in a different
commit.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), arabica (solaris 7 --enable-fortran, --enable-cxx)
Bug Fix.
Description:
The H5Rget_object_type function could not get the object type for dataset
region references.
Solution:
Added a new function, H5Rget_obj_type, to replace H5Rget_object_type.
The new function requires the reference type as an additional parameter,
in order to allow queries on different reference types to be performed
correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4. (sleipnir)
Code cleanup
Description:
Windows is generating hundreds of warnings from some of the practices in
the library. Mostly, they are because size_t is 32-bit and hsize_t is
64-bit on Windows and we were carelessly casting the larger values down to
the smaller ones without checking for overflow.
Also, some other small code cleanups,etc.
Solution:
Re-worked some algorithms to eliminate the casts and also added more
overflow checking for assignments and function parameters which needed
casts.
Kent did most of the work, I just went over his changes and fit them into
the the library code a bit better.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Feature shift
Description:
Take out the v1.2.x compatibility stubs and put in the hooks for v1.4.x
compatibility when needed.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Code Movement
Description:
Moved some functions which worked only with the h5tools_str_t
structure from the h5tools module to the h5tools_str module.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
Some platforms (gondolin) don't necessarily have the vsnprintf
function.
Solution:
Changed it to HDvsnprintf and added a header for H5private to include
it...
Platforms tested:
Linux
