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)
Description: Improved external link traversal of h5dump. h5dump will now
properly avoid all cycles, even those spanning multiple files. Improvement
to the output of committed datatypes. Committed datatypes are now checked
for uniqueness (like other objects). Tests added for these cases.
Tested: kagiso, linew, smirom (h5committest)
current behavior is
if DCPL has creation order tracked for attributes then sort the attributes by creation order otherwise by name
regarding sort order (ascending or descending) it is done in whatever is requested
tested: linux
Bug fixes
Avoid passing iteration flags on the dump_group function parameters but instead inspect the groups's property list just before calling H5Literate and H5Aiterate, in this later case checking the creation order flags with H5Pget_attr_creation_order
Tested: windows, linux
Added support for displaying several iteration orders on dataset attributes, 4 new tests in test script (name ascending, name descending, creation_order ascending, creation_order descending)
New h5 file is made on the generator program
Tested: windows, linux
