Update
Description:
Changed so that the Fortran and C++ configures are named "HDF5
Fortran" and "HDF5 C++" resp. instead of just "HDF5.
Solution:
Add an extra parameter to the subroutine which generates the new
configure.in files.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
Changed code to use H5_HAVE_MPI_MULTI_LANG_* definitions and
H5pubconf_fortran.h include file.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Let's daily tests do this work. I have to leave now.
Update
Description:
Added a conversion of the H5config_fortran.h file to
H5pubconf_fortran.h so as to keep with the HDF5 format of using H5_
as a prefix for HAVE_* macros.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Update
Description:
Updated the h5vers script to automatically update the configure.in
files so that they reflect the correct version in the AC_INIT line.

Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
For some unknown to myself reason I used 32-bit integer for INTEGER(HSIZE_T)
on Solaris platforms when 64-bit integers are available for both C and Fortran.
Solution:
Use long long type to describe h(s)size_t_f types
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 ans 2.6

Bug fix
Description:
For some unknown to myself reason I used 32-bit integer for INTEGER(HSIZE_T)
on Solaris platforms when 64-bit integers are available for both C and Fortran.
Solution:
Use the proper KIND argument to define INTEGER(HSIZE_T)
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 ans 2.6
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Different MPI implementations use different ways to
pass MPI objects between C and Fortran layers. MPI-2 defines
a standard set of MPI_*_c2f(f2c) functions for this purpose.
Unfortunately it is not implemented everywhere and makes
code non-portable between different parallel platforms.
Solution:
Always use MPI_*c2f(f2c) functions in our code. Configure
finds out if those functions are available. If not, then we define
macros to immulate those functions.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64-6.5 (modi4) and SP3 (seaborg.nersc.gov). On those platforms
functions do not exist and we use macros. Bill will test on
HPUX System V (SDSC machine) to check if this works when functions
are defined. Preliminary testing showed that it worked.
Fix
Description:
When doing a TRY_LINK, the compiler complained about lack of
parameters being passed to the function.
Solution:
Added the parameter it wants...
Update
Description:
Updated the way we used the AC_INIT macros so that it's current to
the new standard way and not deprecated anymore.
Also, added a test for some functions during parallel Fortran
configure. This required the creation of an H5config_fortran.h file
so that we can test for these...
Platforms tested:
Elena is going to test the changes to the fortran after she checks in
her other code. I will test on SDSC machines after getting her code.
The other changes were tested on Linux.
Feature Update
Description:
Modified the AC_OUTPUT macro to coincide with the now-standard way of
doing things. I.e., you put all of the files you want to generate
into the AC_CONFIG_FILES macro and invode AC_OUTPUT with no
parameters.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Autotools Update
Description:
I've updated autoconf, automake, and libtool to the latest/greatest
versions; 2.53, 1.6, and 1.4.2 resp.
Many changes come with the new versions:
- ltconfig is no longer used
- acconfig.h is no longer used (#define values are declared with
the macro)
- regeneration of all of the aclocal.m4, configure, and
H5config.h.in files.
- new config.{guess,sub} files
- new ltmain.sh file
Platforms tested:
AIX (blue), and Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Parallel Fortran wasn't working on Modi4. The tests for parallel
MPI Fortran were failing to find MPI files.
Solution:
Changed the AC_TRY_FLINK() macro so that libraries are included
at the end of the link line so that unresolved symbols can be
found...
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Hrm...When I was restoring the LDFLAGS variable after a failure, I
fergot to put a $ on the saved_LDFLAGS variable during the
assignment.
DOH!
Solution:
Added the $.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Bug Fix
Description:
I wasn't testing if the Fortran compiler could actually do the MPI
compilation tests.
Solution:
Changed the configure script so that it uses Fortran 90 to test the
MPI compilation stuff instead of the MPI C compiler...
Platforms tested:
AIX and Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The new way of detecting LibZ (just specifying the directory where
include/ and lib/ are) wasn't propagated down to the Fortran
directory.
Solution:
Added that code...
Platforms tested:
AIX and Linux
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
I borrowed function HDpackFstring from the HDF4 Library and
left name unchanged. It causes linking problems for Fortran users
that use both HDF4 and HDF5 Libraries in their applications.
Solution:
Changed the name to be HD5packFstring
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7
Bug Fix
Description:
The make uninstall-examples wasn't working if fortran or C++ was
built.
Solution:
Added uninstall-examples to the Makefile.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
Several compiler's warnings caused Hitachi SR8000
F90 and C compilers to fail.
Solution:
Fixed the code to eliminate warnings.
Platforms tested:
O2K (modi4) and Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Removing the DPSS (gridstorage) driver source code.
Description:
The DPSS (using Grid-Storage) driver is retired.
Removed the configure option with-gridstorage from configure.in.
Cvs remove the following files
./src/H5FDdpss.c
./src/H5FDdpss.h
./test/dpss_read.c
./test/dpss_write.c
Regenerated Dependencies files (some had to be hand-edited since
'make depend' did not cover them.)
Removed reference to DPSS Virtual file driver from H5F.c.
Platforms tested:
modi4 (Parallel; -with-gass=...), eirene, arabica (fortran, cxx).
Bug fix.
Description:
Fix fortran stub for H5P[gs]et_hyper_cache.
Solution:
Made the fortran subs not execute any function calls into the library,
unless v1.4 compatibility is turned on.
Elena will be following this up with a real fix.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Somehow I forgot to add DEC compiler directives to the H5Eff.f90
file. Linking failed on OSF 5.1
Solution:
Added necessary compiler directives for name translations.
Platforms tested:
Not tested yet but without this change it would fail.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Error messages were printed to the file and standard output regardless
of the parameters passed to the h5eprint_f function. h5eprintc function
did not close the file with the error output. Fixed.
Platforms tested:
arabica and eirene
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
On NERSC SP3 configure failed while trying to figure out
how to print long long.
Solution:
Added the following line
hdf5_cv_printf_ll=${hdf5_cv_printf_ll='ll'}
Platforms tested:
Not tested yet.
Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.
Platforms tested:
Linux
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)
More code cleanups
Description:
Wrap up the code cleanups for changing the dataset transfer property lists
over to using the generic property list code.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
Code cleanups, mostly..
Description:
Work on pacifying the SGI compiler to get the generic properties working
correctly with --enable-parallel and --enable-fortran. It's not quite
fixed yet, but I need to head home and these patches help... :-/
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
Bug fix.
Description:
Left an extra '}' in when I removed the v1.2.x compat stuff.
Solution:
Took the '}' out... :-)
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
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)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match
anything and cause problems since it would then overwrite the
beginning of the header file's path.
Solution:
Wrote a Perl script which can handle this type of weirdness better.
It's only used when the environment is a GNU one with a GCC
compiler...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug fix (bug#625)
Description:
Character buffers were not copied and freed properly. That caused segmentation fault on Linux (Debian 2.2, a glibc2.1.3-based distro and gcc 2.95.2 and NAGWare Fortran 95 compiler Release 4.0a(392). Also many compilers screamed about this piece of code.
Solution:
Asked Quincey to fix the code.
Platforms tested:
Linux (eirene)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
the ptesthdf5_fortran.f90 program was dependent upon the THDF5
module. But before the ptesthdf5_fortran.lo file is build, the THDF5
module needs to be built.
Solution:
Put that dependency into the Makefile.
