HDFFV-7514 - GMQS: h5dump - improve effectiveness of testing scripts for handling expected output files
Description:
Fist phase for h5dump test update. Next phase will be for h5ls.
This is prerequisite for 'HDFFV-7602 Tools - upgrade tools' test scripts to share test files among tools, providing framework for test file re-usability.'
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE), Cmake (jam)
#1585). I changed it to undefined and let the caller functions decide the location
of the datatype. For H5Tdecode, it should mark the datatype as in memory. For other
callers like H5Dopen or H5Aopen, they should makr it as on disk.
Tested it on jam, smirom, linew.
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)
