Description: Added support for Absoft Fortran compiler
Solution: Modified configuration file to check which Fortran compiler is used
and set appropriate flags.
Platforms tested: verbena with pgf90 and Absoft f95 compilers
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Allow I/O on extendible chunked datasets with (currently) zero-sized
dimensions to proceed harmlessly instead of dumping core on an assertion.
Solution:
Removed assertion and added checks to avoid problem situation in H5TB_end
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/ & w/o parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Always write fill values to chunks when initializing entire B-tree and
any filters are defined.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Too minor to require h5committest
Purpose: Maintenance for MAC OSX
Description: Added support for Absoft Fortran compiler f95;
Ddefault compiler is set to IBM xlf.
Solution:
Platforms tested: pommier with xlf and Absoft f95 compilers
Misc. update:
Code cleanup, sorta
Description:
Added ifdef sections for "H5_USING_PURIFY" in various places in the code,
which are designed to reduce the spurious "uninitialized memory read" warnings
from purify which are actually OK. Note that this macro will have to be
turned on by adding it to the CFLAGS for the build - I didn't think it was
important enough to add a configure flag for.
Also, the changes in H5HG.c optimize the walks through the objects in a
heap to only look at the 'used' entries instead of all the 'allocated' entries.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/purify
Not tested by h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Fixed reserved.c test to use h5_fileaccess/h5_fixname/h5_cleanup.
Updated RELEASE.txt for previous bug fix
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, verbena
Description: This is the second step of checkin for encoding and decoding objects.
H5Tencode and H5Tdecode have been committed in the previous step. H5Sencode
and H5Sdecode are checked in this time.
Solution: Given object ID, these functions encode and decode object information
into and from binary buffer and return new object ID. They take advantage of the
existing codes of object header message and encode in the same format.
Platforms tested: fuss and h5committest.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Bug fix
Description:
Allow buffer parameter to H5Dread & H5Dwrite to be NULL if there are no
elements to transfer.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Trying to create the root group or the working group ("/" or ".") fakes out
HDF5 so that it neither creates a group nor returns an error.
Solution:
H5G_namei now throws an error if it was supposed to insert but didn't.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, Visual Studio 7 (very minor change)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Correct problems with "resurrecting" a dataset in a file. (This occurs
when a dataset which is open gets unlinked from the group hierarchy (making it
"dead" and marked for deletion in the file) and then is re-linked to the group
hierarchy). Note that the current solution applies only to datasets, further
work will fix this for groups and named datatypes also.
Also, fix the "debug" routines to be a little more helpful in certain
situations.
Additionally, fix a locking bug in the symbol table node splitting routine
which could be [one of] the cause[s] of the file corruption in flexible
parallel operation.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
h5committested
Bug fix
Description:
Fix error in chunked dataset I/O where data written out wasn't read
correctly from a chunked, extendible dataset after the dataset was extended.
Also, fix parallel I/O tests to gather error results from all processes,
in order to detect errors that only occur on one process.
Solution:
Bypass chunk cache for reads as well as writes, if parallel I/O driver is
used and file is opened for writing.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: Added h5fget_name_f and h5fget_filesize_f subroutines and tests.
Solution: N/A
Platforms tested: arabica (32-bit), sol (64-bit)
parallle build on copper failed for the C library with the the
following error:
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .H5FD_stdio_term
Since this change doesn't affect the C library, I am cheking it in
and will retest the fresh CVS copy after this check-in.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
HDF5 now supports SZIP with no encoder.
Description:
SZIP can be configured to have both encoder and decoder or just to have the decoder. HDF5 can now query the configuration of any filter, and will throw errors if users try to write using a filter with encoding disabled.
Solution:
Added H5Zget_filter_info function, changed API for H5Pget_filter and H5P_get_filter_by_id. See SZIP RFC.
Platforms tested:
Copper (fortran, C++, parallel), Sleipnir (C++), Arabica (fortran, C++), Verbena (fortran, C++)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Updated H5MPprivate.h for the new API function H5Itype_exists.
Description:
This is the last commit for these changes... I swear...
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Description: Added new API H5Fget_name and new test program called filename.c. This function
returns the name of the file by object ID(file, group, dataset, named datatype, and attribute)
which belongs to the file.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: MANIFEST and RELEASE.txt
Description: If compound datatype has variable-length string as field, after it's committed to
the file, when it's reopened, the size of the datatype is miscalculated. It makes the data
unreadable. Dumper also fails to read data because of this problem.
Solution: Change the size of datatype when it's committed to file. Then modify the size again
for memory type when it's reopened.
Platforms tested: h5committest and RH 8.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: h5dwrite/read_f and h5awrite_read_f functions were overloaded
with dims argument being of type INTEGER and INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
We promised to remove overloading in 1.4 release. It was
removed from documentation but not from the source code.
Solution: Finish code cleanup.
Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 32 and 64 bit, and copper with --enable-
parallel. Windows are broken, so Kent and Xuan
will test it with their changes later.
Misc. update:
Description: a new dataspace, null dataspace.
Solution: it's a dataspace without any element. This is a staged check-in.
After daily test succeeds, will add a test.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Description: integer-float software conversion. There are some
print commands left in the source code. Will clean them up once
no problem is found in test.
Platforms tested: h5committest.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
bug fix
Description:
the fletcher filter used a temporary 2 byte word buffer to compute the checksum.
this is non portable between big-endian/little endian.
Solution:
replaced with a buffer of 1 byte type
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
solaris 64 bit
AIX
windows
Misc. update:
Code cleanup/bug fix
Description:
Fix configuration files to allow 64-bit compilation of the library with
a 64-bit version of zlib.
Solution:
Moved important compiler flags settings from CC macro to CFLAGS macro.
Instead of setting CC (F9X, CXX) environment variable for compiling for 64-bit
code, users should just set the CFLAGS (FFLAGS, CXXFLAGS) to -q64.
Updated INSTALL file to reflect this change.
Platforms tested:
IBM p690 (copper) w/parallel, FORTRAN, C++, srcdir.
Platforms specific - h5committest does not apply.
