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:
Code cleanup
Description:
Various code cleanups to allow the development branch to be compiled with
a C++ compiler (i.e. CC=g++ )
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) C++
Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered
vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit
platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned
int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and
unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to
16-bit architectures.
Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users
who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source
module (like Kent's h4toh5 library).
Solution:
Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
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
Bug fix (sort of)
Description:
The RCSID string in H5public.h was causing the C++ code problem as it
was included multiple times and C++ did not like multiple definitions
of the same static variable.
Solution:
Since we don't really make use of the RCSID strings as we have not
installed it in all source files, we decided to remove it.
Platforms tested:
eirene (linux), modi4 (IRIX64-64) both serial and parallel modes.
