Bug fix
Description:
Rewrite code for mounting files to clean up layers of kludges and implement
a much cleaner and more maintainable design.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Bug fix
Description:
The ".chksh" file for a test script was being created in the "source"
location rather than the build location. This can cause problems when
multiple builds are running because "slower" machines will see the ".cshsh"
file from faster machines and will not run the test script as they should.
Solution:
Use 'basename' command to strip off the path of the script and create
the ".chksh" file in the build location.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
bug fix.
Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.
Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2. Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".
Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bugs that caused tests to be unable to find testhdf5.sh during
daily tests, and another that broke sol and shanti.
Solution:
When tests are run, their path is ./$testname .
When scripts are run, their path has no leading "./". Fixed.
Sol and shanti don't recognize the -e option for test, but they do know
-f. Fixed.
Also modified release notes.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, heping
Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
Renamed file_handle.c as vfd.c since its tests have evloved from
merely file handles tests to other basic features of VFD's.
Did some minor cosmetic changes in vfd.c.
Updated Makefile.am with the new name.
Makefile.in is regenerated.
Platforms tested:
In heping only since the changes are trivial.
Misc. update:
Description: Renamed test/dt_atomic.c to test/dt_arith.c(an abbreviation
of "arithmetic data types") to better describe the program. This checkin
broke down into three sections when the floating-point numbers are the
source, normalized, denormalized, and special values. If there's any
difference of destination values, only normalized value test reports
failure. The other 2 report only as warning.
Platforms tested: h5commitest and fuss
Misc. update: MANIFEST
bug fix
Description:
check-s and check-p were set as pre-requistics of test. They
would get executed in parallel if parallel make is used. This
could cause problems since serial tests are used to be executed
before parallel tests. It is not known if it is always okay to
run serial and parallel tests in simultantously.
Solution:
Change check-s and check-p as actions of the target test so
that they get executed sequnentially.
Platforms tested:
heping PP.
Added check-s and check-p targets.
Description:
Added check-s and check-p targets to 1.7 branch to match changes to 1.6
branch. Now parallel and serial tests can be run separately.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper
Feature
Description:
Added "support" for UTF-8 character encoding.
Solution:
Wrote tests to check that UTF-8 can be used in a number of places in
HDF5 (object names, data, etc.). These tests live in test/tunicode.c.
Added a new UTF-8 character encoding for datatypes.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, heping
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Add "memory pool" internal data structure. This set of routines is
designed to add a way to allocate small pieces of information for a particular
purpose and then free all the pieces at once (i.e. without having to free each
piece individually). Memory pools are also good for localizing lots of small
allocations that logically belong together.
For example, if you were constructing a temporary linked list, you could
create a new memory pool, allocate all the nodes for the list from the memory
pool and when you were done with the list, just destroy the pool instead of
tracking through the list and freeing each block independently.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Description: Removed support for SRB driver
Solution: Removed or modified appropriate files; ran reconfigure
to regenerate Makefile.in and configure files.
Platforms tested: heping and shanti
Misc. update: ran bin/chkmanifest on heping
Description: Split test/dtypes.c because it's so big. Moved all integer-integer,
floating-floating, integer-floating, floating-integer, derived integer, derived
floating conversion tests to a new test program, dt_atomic.c. The test remains
the same basically.
Platforms tested: fuss and h5committest
Misc. update: MANIFEST
Configuration feature
Description:
Different Fortran compilers mangle function names in different ways
(upper case, lower case, adding underscores). To link between
Fortran and C functions, we need to know what a given function's
name is under a given compiler.
Solution:
Use autoconf's FC_WRAPPERS check to determine the Fortran
naming scheme and define the FC_FUNC_ macro to name our
functions (in H5f90proto.h). Removed references to
our old FNAME macro, as well as flags that indicated whether
function names were upper or lower case.
Platforms tested:
mir, pommier, modi4, copper, more
Bug fix
Description:
On some machines, $RUNSERIAL variable needs to be used to run
tests. Set $RUNTESTS (which is used for non-parallel tests) to
be $RUNSERIAL in configure.am.
Also, since I was updating all Makefiles.in anyway, I updated
commence.am to point to autotools installs in AFS instead of
those on heping.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4, copper
Purpose:
"Bug fix"
Description:
Hardcoded Makefiles to use /bin/sh instead of letting configure
detect shell automatically. This is what v1.6 does, and avoids
problems on janus.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, mir
New feature
Description:
Add first iteration of "segmented heap" code, which will be used to store
links in groups in a more flexible way than the previous "local heap" mechanism.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Feature - conditional compilation
Description:
SRB file driver and tests are now compiled only when SRB is enabled
(using --with-srb during configure).
Solution:
Added an automake conditional in configure.in, altered Makefiles.am in
src and test directories to depend on that conditional.
This should make a nice example for posterity to add conditionally
compiled sources.
Platforms tested:
heping (only configure change)
Purpose:
Added C++ wrapper for Packet Table API.
Description:
Added macro for high-level C++ library (LIBH5CPP_HL), which changes every
Makefile.in.
Added directories for high-level C++ library (though currently only Packet
Table API is supported).
Added both C++ source and tests.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
Misc. update:
New feature
Description:
Add new "block tracker" data structure to library, for tracking blocks of
bytes in a file. Block trackers will be used to keep track of the blocks
belonging to the soon-to-be-implemented "segmented heap" which is designed to
replace the current local & global heaps (starting with the local heap).
Block trackers will also keep track of the free space in the segmented heap
and someday could be used to track the free space in the entire HDF5 file.
They are implemented as a small header of information to cache the state
of the blocks (max & min sizes of blocks tracked, etc.) and the records of
the blocks themselves are stored in a v2 B-tree.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
h5committest
Automake version upgrade
Description:
Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5.
Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5.
Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables
instead of FFLAGS and F9X.
Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work
supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will
be cleaned later).
Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is
processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since
automake no longer allows us to define unused variables.
Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not
used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and
will break otherwise.
Platforms tested:
Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
Removed GASS configuration and software packages associated with
it. The following software are no longer configurable.
checking for main in -lcrypto... yes

Platforms tested:
h5committested (but copper was down.) tested in modi4 too.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
modi4 dies during build with strange errors.
The root cause of these is a two-year-old hack in HDF5's libtool
script that only takes effect on IRIX.
Solution:
Edited the libtool hack (by editing ltmain.sh) to correct a bug in
the hack.
Also made sure that compiler-specific DEFAULT_LIBS are used
when linking.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, sol
Bug fix
Description:
Arabica exhibited strange errors when linker found wrong versions of
header files. This happened because include directories were
given to linker in the wrong order.
Solution:
Move include directories from AM_CFLAGS variable to INCLUDES
variable to put them before CPPFLAGS variable. Trust me, it works.
This bug may also have contributed to strange errors on other platforms
(kelgia?).
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, arabica.
(h5dump broke while building on arabica, but this happened in
a clean checkout, too).
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
Bug fix (sorta)
Description:
Disable btree2 testing until Monday, when I can look into the failures
without a toddler on my lap. :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Parallel builds were breaking in tools/lib
Solution:
talign didn't realize it depended on libh5tools.la because its
dependencies listed the full path (../../tools/lib/libh5tools.la).
Changed this, and made similar changes in a couple of other
directories.
This checkin should also add the --foreign flag to every Makefile.in
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (minor change)
New feature
Description:
Add basic code for new B-tree implementation. They don't do much yet,
aren't hooked up to anything yet and the format may change, but I'd like to
start getting them into the daily tests.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem
Solution:
Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in.
Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in,
configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it
print any warnings.
Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script,
and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping
to regenerate these files correctly.
Platforms tested:
heping sleipnir copper
Bug fix
Description:
Configuration files' timestamps were incorrect.
Solution:
Update Makefiles.in. Also added correct paths to autotools on heping,
so heping build should be able to re-generate configuration files even
if they are still broken.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir
Bug fix
Description:
Dependencies between configure files (aclocal, configure.in, configure,
Makefiles.am and .in) are still causing Makefiles to try to run autotools
during build.
Solution:
Committed all Makefiles.in to update their timestamps.
As a temporary measure, forcibly prevented automake from running
autotools during build by redefining the variables it uses.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (No changes to Makefile content)
Bug fix
Description:
Different compilers use different flags to include Fortran module files
Solution:
Changed boilerplate to use configure variable rather than hardcoded -M flag.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, sol, copper
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.

Remove feature
Description:
Retire threaded, balanced binary tree code from HDF5 use. Requiescat in
pace...
Also, regenerate dependencies files.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require full h5committesting (the code is already
disconnected from everything except its tests)
Add new internal data structure
Description:
Add an implementation of skip lists to the library (see comment in
src/H5SL.c for references to the papers describing them) as a potential
replacement for our current threaded, balanced binary tree container.
Skip lists are much simpler to implement and should be faster to use.
Also, added new error codes to release branch, so bump the minor version
number to indicate that the library is no longer perfectly compatible with
the 1.6.3 release.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Too minor to require further testing (the skip lists aren't actually
used by any library code yet)
Cleanup & add test
Description:
Clean up test makefile a bit and add metadata cache test to 1.6 branch.
Platforms tested:

IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
If an HDF5 file grows larger than its address space, it dies and is unable to
write any data. This is more likely to happen since users are able to change
the number of bytes used to store addresses in the file.
Solution:
HDF5 now throws an error instead of dying. In addition, it "reserves" address
space for the local heap and for object headers (which do not allocate space
immediately). This ensures that after the error occurs, there is enough address
space left to flush the entire file to disk, so no data is lost.
A more complete explanation is at /doc/html/TechNotes/ReservedFileSpace.html
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper (parallel), verbena, arabica, Windows (Visual Studio 7)
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Description:
Replaced the old metadata cache with a cache with a modified LRU
replacement policy. This should improve the hit rate.
Solution:
Since we want to flush cache entries in increasing address order, I
used the threaded binary B-tree code to store the cache entries.
There is a fair bit of overhead here, so we may want to consider
other options.
While the code is designed to allow the support of other replacement
algorithms, at present, only a modified version of LRU is supported.
The modified LRU algorithm requires that a user selectable portion
of the cache entries be clean. The clean entries are evicted first
when writes are not permitted. If the pool of clean entries is used
up, the cache grows beyond its user specified maximum size. The
cache can also exceed its maximum size if the combined size of the
protected (or locked) entries exceeds the maximum size of the cache.
Platforms tested:
eirene (serial, parallel, fp), h5committested
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.

New Feature
Description:
Add the data transform function, H5Pset_transform().
Platforms tested:
"h5committested".
Copper was down. Ran parallel tests in sol instead.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup.
Description:
The routines residing in testframe.c was defined in testhdf5.h due to
historical reason. It really belongs to h5test.h because those routines
reside in libh55test.a.
Solution:
Moved them to the right place. Also removed the duplicated occurance
of testframe.c in the TEST_SRC.
Platforms tested:
Tested in o2 (SGI) parallel.
Bug fix
Description:
Correct two problems with variable-length datatypes in datasets:
- When overwriting an entire dataset, writing the fill value to the
file would be skipped, causing problems for VL datatypes when
objects in the file had been unlinked (and thus the space in the
file was not all zeros)
- When an application has set a fill-value for a dataset and the
dataset's datatype contained a VL datatype, the library was filling
space on disk with the memory form of the VL information, instead
of the disk form.
Platforms tested:

Description:
Move further in the testing framework cleanup, eliminating all the

too minor to require h5committest
Description: The error test script compares the error messages to the standard
output. The file names and line numbers in the messages can be different
for users.
Solution: Temporarily disable the test until find a good solution.
Platforms tested: None. Disabling a test.
Bug fix
Description:
When datasets are deleted from a file, they are removed from the sieve
buffer, but instead of invalidating only the part of the sieve buffer affected,
the sieve buffer code would throw away the entire sieve buffer, potentially
including other raw data in the buffer that hadn't been written to disk yet.
Solution:
Improve the sieve buffer clearing code to handle partial invalidations.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)

writing a validly-sized userblock to a new file and then appending another
HDF5 file to the new file).

Description:
Added test to check for dangling objects being handled correctly by the
library.

New test feature
Description:
Added the VFD_LIST definition to support the "make check-vfd" tests.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Since check-vfd is not invoked by default, I went to each machine
to invoke them by hand. The target worked fine but there were
errors reported from those driver tests. (Those errors were beyond
the scope of this make target test.)
Misc. update:
New internal feature
Description:
Add internal API for building and working with heaps (H5HP). This will be
used for the LRU algorithm in the new metadata cache code.
Platforms tested:

FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
Bug Fix
Description:
When calling H5Fopen with the core VFL driver, but without the
H5F_ACC_CREAT flag goes ahead and creates a memory file.
Solution:
Check for the H5F_ACC_CREAT flag before allowing the memory file to be
created.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
Lots of performance improvements & a couple new internal API interfaces.
Description:
Performance Improvements:
- Cached file offset & length sizes in shared file struct, to avoid
constantly looking them up in the FCPL.
- Generic property improvements:
- Added "revision" number to generic property classes to speed
up comparisons.
- Changed method of storing properties from using a hash-table
to the TBBT routines in the library.
- Share the propery names between classes and the lists derived
from them.
- Removed redundant 'def_value' buffer from each property.
- Switching code to use a "copy on write" strategy for
properties in each list, where the properties in each list
are shared with the properties in the class, until a
property's value is changed in a list.
- Fixed error in layout code which was allocating too many buffers.
- Redefined public macros of the form (H5open()/H5check, <variable>)
internally to only be (<variable>), avoiding innumerable useless
calls to H5open() and H5check_version().
- Reuse already zeroed buffers in H5F_contig_fill instead of
constantly re-zeroing them.
- Don't write fill values if writing entire dataset.
- Use gettimeofday() system call instead of time() system when
checking the modification time of a dataset.
- Added reference counted string API and use it for tracking the
names of objects opening in a file (for the ID->name code).
- Removed redundant H5P_get() calls in B-tree routines.
- Redefine H5T datatype macros internally to the library, to avoid
calling H5check redundantly.
- Keep dataspace information for dataset locally instead of reading
from disk each time. Added new module to track open objects
in a file, to allow this (which will be useful eventually for
some FPH5 metadata caching issues).
- Remove H5AC_find macro which was inlining metadata cache lookups,
and call function instead.
- Remove redundant memset() calls from H5G_namei() routine.
- Remove redundant checking of object type when locating objects
in metadata cache and rely on the address only.
- Create default dataset object to use when default dataset creation
property list is used to create datasets, bypassing querying
for all the property list values.
- Use default I/O vector size when performing raw data with the
default dataset transfer property list, instead of querying for
I/O vector size.
- Remove H5P_DEFAULT internally to the library, replacing it with
more specific default property list based on the type of
property list needed.
- Remove redundant memset() calls in object header message (H5O*)
routines.
- Remove redunant memset() calls in data I/O routines.
- Split free-list allocation routines into malloc() and calloc()-
like routines, instead of one combined routine.
- Remove lots of indirection in H5O*() routines.
- Simplify metadata cache entry comparison routine (used when
flushing entire cache out).
- Only enable metadata cache statistics when H5AC_DEBUG is turned
on, instead of always tracking them.
- Simplify address comparison macro (H5F_addr_eq).
- Remove redundant metadata cache entry protections during dataset
creation by protecting the object header once and making all
the modifications necessary for the dataset creation before
unprotecting it.
- Reduce # of "number of element in extent" computations performed
by computing and storing the value during dataspace creation.
- Simplify checking for group location's file information, when file
has not been involving in file-mounting operations.
- Use binary encoding for modification time, instead of ASCII.
- Hoist H5HL_peek calls (to get information in a local heap)
out of loops in many group routine.
- Use static variable for iterators of selections, instead of
dynamically allocation them each time.
- Lookup & insert new entries in one step, avoiding traversing
group's B-tree twice.
- Fixed memory leak in H5Gget_objname_idx() routine (tangential to
performance improvements, but fixed along the way).
- Use free-list for reference counted strings.
- Don't bother copying object names into cached group entries,
since they are re-created when an object is opened.
The benchmark I used to measure these results created several thousand
small (2K) datasets in a file and wrote out the data for them. This is
Elena's "regular.c" benchmark.
These changes resulted in approximately ~4.3x speedup of the
development branch when compared to the previous code in the
development branch and ~1.4x speedup compared to the release
branch.
Additionally, these changes reduce the total memory used (code and
data) by the development branch by ~800KB, bringing the development
branch back into the same ballpark as the release branch.
I'll send out a more detailed description of the benchmark results
as a followup note.
New internal API routines:
Added "reference counted strings" API for tracking strings that get
used by multiple owners without duplicating the strings.
Added "ternary search tree" API for text->object mappings.

Bug Fix
Description:
H5Dcreate and H5Tcommit allow "empty" compound and enumerated types (i.e.

Check the datatype "makes sense" before using it for H5Dcreate and
H5Tcommit.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Test Bug Fix
Description:
Under certain [obscure] circumstances, an object header would get paged out
of the metadata cache, and when it was accessed again and brought back into
the cache, and immediately had additional metadata added to it (an
attribute, usually, or perhaps adding an object to a group), and needed to
be extended with a continuation message, but there was no room in any
existing object header chunks for the continuation message and an existing
object header message needed to be moved to the new object header chunk (I
told you it was obscure :-), the object header message moved to the new
chunk (not the new metadata being added) would get corrupted. *whew* :-)
Solution:
Actually copy the "raw" object header message information of the object
header message being moved to the new chunk, instead of relying on the
"native" object header message information being re-encoded when the object
header is flushed. This is because when an object header is paged out of
the metadata cache and subsequently brought back in, the "native"
information pointer in memory is reset to NULL and only the "raw"
information exists.
[Actually, this additional testing doesn't trigger the bug, which needs
_lots_ of objects to be created and accessed, but it does execise the
object header continuation code more than other tests in the library.]
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) & FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Bug fix
Description:
$(LT_RUN) was used to execute ./H5detect in src/Makefile.in.
$RUNTEST was set to $(LT_RUN) which was used to execute sequential
executable. $(LT_RUN) is "../libtool --mode=execute". But libtool
invokes some commands that are not supported in the Tflops machine.
That caused failures during the build and check processes.
Solution:
Upon investigation, there does not seem to be need to use $(LT_RUN)
any more. The "libtool --mode=link" now generates a "fake" executable
that is actually a command-script file that can regenerate the real
executable with dynamic libraries hooks setup properly.
Undo all those $LT_RUN substitute and let $RUNSERIAL execute those
sequential executables.
Platforms tested:
Eirene(serial), modi4(parallel)
Bug fix
Description:
When several level deep nested compound & VL datatypes are used, the data
in the nested compound datatypes is incorrectly sharing the same "background
buffer", causing data corruption when the data is written to the file.
Solution:
Allocate a separate background buffer for each level of the nested types
to convert. (Also allocate temporary background buffers for array
datatypes, where this sort of problem could occur also)
Added more regression tests to check for these errors.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) & Solaris 2.6 (baldric)
Bug Fix
Description:
Regression test for following bug:
The H5Gget_objinfo() function was not setting the 'fileno' field in the
H5G_stat_t struct passed in.
Solution:
Added a "file serial number" to each file currently open in the library
and put that in the 'fileno' field. If a file is opened twice (with
H5Fopen) and the VFL driver detects that it is the same file (i.e. the
two file structures have the same "shared file info" in the library's
memory structures), they will have the same serial number.
This serial number has two drawbacks:
- If a VFL driver doesn't/can't detect that two calls to H5Fopen with
the same file actually _are_ the same file, each will get a
different serial number
- If the same file is closed and re-opened, the serial number will be
different.
It is be possible to fix the second drawback for many VFL drivers, but it
would be a lot of effort and probably isn't worth it until we've got a
good reason to do it. Dunno if we'll ever be able to fix the first
drawback...
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
VS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cleanup
Description:
Added set_extend.h5 file to the CLEANUP macro in the Makefile so that
it'll be removed when the other temp files are removed.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
When file space was returned to the file space free-list for reuse,
occasionally raw data allocations which used space from the free-list
would overlap with the metadata accumulator and get over-written with
the cached information in the accumulator, corrupting the data.
Solution:
Check if the space about to be recycled on the free-list is going to be
used for raw data and also overlaps with the metadata accumulator cache,
avoiding using space that fits those criteria.
This fixes bug #701
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
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).
New feature.
Description:
Added a test to verify the correctness of information provided by
configure in H5config.h. Some information, such as SIZEOF some
types can be hardcoded by config/<machine>. This test verified
the information is indeed correct.
Currenly, only size of C language types are verified.
Platforms tested:
Eirene, regular, arabica.
New Feature
Description:
Added array datatype tests to the regression tests. These datatype
combinations are tested currently:
1-D array of atomic datatypes
3-D array of atomic datatypes
array of array of atomic datatypes
array of compound of atomic datatypes
array of compound of array datatypes
array of VL of atomic datatypes
array of VL of array datatypes
Also added a test to verify that the older style compound datatype with
array fields works correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Bug fix
Description:
"Time" datatypes (H5T_UNIX_D*) were not being stored and retrieved in
the datatype object header message correctly.
Solution:
Store endian-ness and precision in the datatype object header message and
added test to continue to track them working correctly.
This fixes bug #512.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
zlib, and zlib isn't in our LD_LIBRARY_PATH or in a standard system
library place (/usr/lib or /lib), then the tests can't run. This fixes it
if the person configures the source with the flag:
--with-zlib=/usr/fnord/include,/usr/fnord/lib
This only works if you're pointing to the shared library version in the
above flag...
that all HDF5 API functions are protected by a mutex lock. Basically,
serialized all API calls. To use it, use
configure --enable-threadsafe --with-pthread

Minor changes done to test/gass_xxx.c so that they print the
test skip message when GASS driver is not available.
This change is the implementation of GASS within HDF5-1.3 (HDF5 with Virtual
File Layer). The GASS driver gives the facility of accessing HDF files on
remote ftp servers. To use the GASS driver, the option --with-gass=<GASS path>
shoud be specified with configure. An example of the command line used to
test the distribution was:
./configure --disable-shared --without-hdf4
--with-gass=/afs/ncsa/projects/hdf/v5/bagchi/globus/GLB/development/sparc-sun-solaris2.6_nothreads_standard_debug/include,/afs/ncsa/projects/hdf/v5/bagchi/globus/GLB/development/sparc-sun-solaris2.6_nothreads_standard_debug/lib
--disable-parallel
The user should change the path to point to his local GASS installation.
Documentation about the features of GASS and the HDF-GASS design is available
separately and till it is put up on the official web site, anyone interested
may contact me.
Test programs to read, write or append remote files have been provided in the
test directory as "gass_read.c", "gass_write.c", "gass_append.c". The test
programs have the ftp site to access #define-d at the top of the file which
the user can change accordingly.

./src/hdf5.h
The split driver was reimplemented as a more general "multi"
driver which is capable of splitting data into multiple files
like the family driver except the partioning is done by memory
usage type instead of address. The H5Pset_fapl_split()
function just calls H5Pset_fapl_multi() with arguments which
prepare to split the address space into two files: meta and
raw data.
This is the first version. I plan to allow the open() call to
relax a bit which would allow one to open an hdf5 file when
only the meta-data file is present. This would allow a very
large file to be split and stored on tape and the relatively
small meta file to be mirrored on disk to allow limited
browsing of the file (any request for raw data would fail).

again later for reading. The format is driver-defined which
allows users to extend it however they like.

Added a `.PATH' target for Irix pmake which is identical to
the VPATH used by most other `make' programs. Irix 6.5 (or
6.4?) and later `make' ignores VPATH.
Started all beginning-of-line comments with `##' instead of
just `#' because Irix `pmake' barfs on things like the
following because it sees the `# if' as a directive:
# make will barf on the following line
# if running Irix pmake
./config/commence.in [1.3]

Changes that allow hdf5 to be configured and compiled in a

useful if you want to concurrently compile with different

read-only media like a CDROM. The changes were surprisingly
easy ;-) Here's what you can do now...

Paul, you'll have to change the testh5toh4 script similar to
the way I changed testh5dump.sh. I started working on it but
then gave up because of a number of problems: (1) I had to
comment out all the tests that let h5toh4 choose the output
file name because it always tried to put the output file in
the same directory as the input file, (2) if path names are
used during the h4 dump then they interfere with the
diff. The test works fine when run in the source directory,
but try this instead:
$ gunzip <hdf5-1.1.67.tar.gz |tar xf -
$ chmod -R ugo-w hdf5-1.1.67
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../hdf5-1.1.67/configure
$ make check
Dan, I didn't modify the pablo/Makefile.in because I have no
way to test it. I think all you need to do is add a couple
lines before the @COMMENCE@ line and add a couple search
directories for header files. Anyway, it seems like almost an
exact duplicate of the src/Makefile.in, so it shouldn't be a
problem...

./src/H5private.h
Temporarily commented out the code that tries to link a simple
MPI-IO application because I'm not sure how to pass $LDFLAGS
and $LIBS to the compiler.
Removed the `--enable-parallel=ibm' switch because the library
we link with is either -lmpcc or -lmpcc_r but not both. The
only way to tell is to see what compiler was specified (mpcc
or mpcc_r) but if that compiler is specified then we don't
need any libraries (the compiler script supplies them). That
leaves just two choices: the user must use a compiler script:
CC=mpcc ./configure
or the user must state which library is desired:
LDFLAGS='-lmpcc' ./configure --enable-parallel
Checks for <setjmp.h>, longjmp(), and signal(). We don't check
for setjmp() because it could be a macro (in fact, Posix
requires it to be a macro) and if longjmp() is present then
setjmp() is probably present too ;-)
./src/H5detect.c
The alignment detection loop uses SIGBUS and setjmp/longjmp
instead of fork/wait in order to get around bugs with forking
in conjunction with mpich. This hasn't been tested on the
SP-2 yet but it does work on the DEC Alpha.

Improvements for parallel library. If you have a properly
working mpicc you should be able to just say:
$ CC=mpicc ./configure
and you will see
checking for mpirun... /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun
checking for parallel support files... skipped
checking how to run on one processor...
/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1
checking how to run in parallel...
/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np $$NPROCS
To quote from the INSTALL file....
*** Parallel vs. serial library
The HDF5 library can be configured to use MPI and MPI-IO for
parallelizm on a distributed multi-processor system. The easy
way to do this is to have a properly installed parallel
compiler (e.g., MPICH's mpicc or IBM's mpcc) and supply that
executable as the value of the CC environment variable:
[NOTE: mpcc is not tested yet]
$ CC=mpcc ./configure
$ CC=/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpicc ./configure
If no such wrapper script is available then you must specify
your normal C compiler along with the distribution of
MPI/MPI-IO which is to be used (values other than `mpich' will
be added at a later date):
$ ./configure --enable-parallel=mpich
If the MPI/MPI-IO include files and/or libraries cannot be
found by the compiler then their directories must be given as
arguments to CPPFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS:
$ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/mpi/include \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/mpi/lib/LINUX/ch_p4 \
./configure --enable-parallel=mpich
If a parallel library is being built then configure attempts
to determine how to run a parallel application on one
processor and on many processors. If the compiler is mpicc
and the user hasn't specified values for RUNSERIAL and
RUNPARALLEL then configure chooses `mpirun' from the same
directory as `mpicc':
RUNSERIAL: /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1
RUNPARALLEL: /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np $${NPROCS:=2}
The `$${NPROCS:=2}' will be substituted with the value of the
NPROCS environment variable at the time `make check' is run
(or the value 2).
./testpar/Makefile.in
Saying `make check' (or `make test') will run the tests on two
processors by default. If you define NPROCS then that many
processors are used instead:
$ NPROCS=4 make check
./configure.in
Fixed (hopefully) bugs with detecting whether __attribute__
and __FUNCTION__ are special keywords for the compiler.

instructions for using shared libraries.
./config/commence.in
./src/Makefile.in
./test/Makefile.in
./testpar/Makefile.in

Moved the @top_srcdir@ into the makefiles because it was

gnulibc1, and gnulibc2 versions. The alpha-dec file was
removed (I think it was unused) and the alpha-dec-osf4.0 was
changed to dec-osf4.x. The irix5.3 file renamed to irix5.x and
the irix64 file was renamed to irix6.x. The freebsd file was
changed to point to linux-gnulibc1. These changes were tested
on:
Linux 2.0
Linux 2.1
FreeBSD 3.2
Irix 5.3
Irix64 6.2
Irix64 6.4
HP/UX 10.20
OSF1 4.0
./config/alphaev56-dec-osf4.x
./config/irix64
Added warnings similar to linux/freebsd about using compilers
with known bugs.
./config/commence.in
./config/conclude.in
./src/Makefile.in
./test/Makefile.in
./testpar/Makefile.in
./tools/Makefile.in
Added definitions for shared libraries. This has been tested
on the following systems:
Linux 2.0
Linux 2.1
FreeBSD 3.2
Irix 5.3
Irix64 6.2
Irix64 6.4
HP/UX 10.20 static only
OSF1 4.0
If you want to disable use of shared libraries (you probably
do for development purposes since it takes a lot longer to
compile and because you have to run dynamically linked
programs in a special way if the library hasn't been
installed) then add `--disable-shared' to the configure
command line. This is all documented in the INSTALL file.
./bin/release
Temprarily commented out the MANIFEST checking when running
under svf since svf is about to be replaced by a newer
version. This change only affects error checking during the
release process.
./Makefile.dist
./Makefile.in
Added `make check' which does the same thing as `make _test'
since the former is endorsed by the GNU coding style and
people are used to it. The old `make _test' still works too
(and so does `make test' if you use GNU make).
----------------------
./test/dtypes.c
./test/enum.c [NEW]
Added support for enumeration data types.
./test/fillval.c
./test/istore.c
Fixed memory leaks during error handling.
----------------------
./src/H5T.c
Fixed a typo in the registration of the `unsigned char' to
`unsigned long long' type conversion that caused it to not be
registered, falling back to software whenever that conversion
path was taken.
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/testhdf5.c

./test/lheap.c [NEW]
./test/tohdr.c [REMOVED]
./test/ohdr.c [NEW]
./test/tstab.c [REMOVED]
./test/stab.c [NEW]
Removed the `t' from the front of these names and made each
test a stand-alone program following the format of most of the
other tests.
./test/big.c
Uses libh5test.a but always sets the low-level driver to 1GB
file family.
The `#if' near the top to set the data space to 8GB has been
simplified now that `long_long' is always defined and the
error message is improved when `long_long' isn't wide enough.
Cleanup code was added to the error handling.
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
Uses libh5test.a. Added error cleanup code.
./test/dtypes.c
./test/h5test.c
Added 68 new tests that check hardware and software
conversions between `long long' and `unsigned long long' and
the other integer types. The tests only run on machines where
sizeof(long_long)!=sizeof(long). We test a total of 180
different integer conversions, half in hardware and half in
software.
Cut down the number of times each test is run from 5 to 1 so
it doesn't take so long. If you want to run more times
there's a constant that can be changed at the top of the file.
./test/extend.c
Removed unused variable.
./test/h5test.c
./test/h5test.h
./test/external.c
./test/fillval.c
The h5_cleanup() returns true/false so it can be used in an `if'
statement to clean up additional files.
./doc/html/Environment.html
Indented. Added HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_DRIVER descriptions.
./src/H5P.c
Changed the trace type for the second argument from `Iu' to
`x' since it's an output parameter.
./INSTALL
Added a warning that the GNU zlib that comes with the latest
version of HDF4 is too old to use with HDF5 and must be
renamed so configure doesn't see it when `--enable-hdf4' is
used.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/shtype.c [REMOVED]
Removed shtype.c because it was all commented out. Besides,
these tests are done in dtypes.c now anyway.
./test/external.c
./test/fillval.c
./test/flush1.c
./test/flush2.c
./test/links.c
./test/mount.c
./test/mtime.c
./test/unlink.c
The tests that check the HDF5 API use the h5test support
functions. For one thing, that means that you can specify the
file driver that thay use by the HDF5_DRIVER environment
variable. Possible values are:
HDF5_DRIVER='sec2' Use read() and write()
HDF5_DRIVER='stdio' Use fread() and fwrite()
HDF5_DRIVER='core' Use malloc() and free()
HDF5_DRIVER='split' Split meta and raw data
HDF5_DRIVER='family N' Use file families with each
member being N megabytes (N
can be fractional, defaults to
one).
Some tests might fail for certain drivers: for instance, the
mount and link tests fail for the `core' driver because
they must be able to close and then reopen a file.

Most of these changes are because the `interface_initialize_g'
variable change from hbool_t to int. It's a one line change.
Changed the way the library is closed so we have more control
over the order the interfaces are shut down. Instead of
registering an atexit() function for every interface in some
haphazard order we just register one: H5_term_library() which
then calls the H5*_term_interface() functions in a
well-defined order.
If the library is closed and then reopened repeatedly by
calling H5close() and H5open() in a loop we only add one copy
of the library termination functions with atexit().
Termination is a two-step process in order to help detect
programming errors that would cause an infinite loop caused by
the termination of one interface waking up some other
previously terminated interface. The first step terminates
the interface and *marks it as unusable*. After all
interfaces are terminated then we mark them all as usable
again. The FUNC_ENTER() macro has been modified to return
failure or to dump core (depending on whether NDEBUG is
defined) if we try to call an interface while it's shutting
down.
./src/H5.c
The H5dont_atexit() function returns failure if it's called
more than once or if it's called too late. However, the error
stack is not automatically printed on failure because the
library might not be initialized yet
./test/chunk.c
./test/flush1.c
./test/flush2.c
./test/iopipe.c
./test/overhead.c
./test/ragged.c
Changed the extra cast for Win32 so we do floating point
division again -- it was just confusion about precedence and
associativity of casting and the C coercion rules. Removed
extra carriage returns inserted by broken operating system.
./src/H5Ffamily.c
Fixed an bug where H5F_fam_write() lowered the EOF marker for
one of the family members causing H5F_fam_read() to read
zeros.
./test/h5test.h [NEW]
./test/h5test.c [NEW]
./test/Makefile.in
./test/bittests.c
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
Support library for test files. This isn't done yet but
Katie's contractions are ~10 minutes apart so I figured I
better back this stuff up just in case I'm not here next
week...
Eventually all test files will understand HDF5_DRIVER to name
the low level file driver and parameters so we can easily test
various drivers. They will also understand HDF5_PREFIX to
prepend to the beginning of file names which is necessary for
testing ROMIO with various drivers. Also, the cleanup function
will know how to use the file name prefix and will understand
different file driver naming schemes like file families. I'm
not sure they'll understand the `gsf:' type prefixes yet.
Note, the external test is completely commented out because
I'm in the middle of modifying it. It will still compile and
run but it doesn't test anything at the moment.
----------------------
./config/conclude.in
./test/Makefile.in
./tools/Makefile.in
The Makefile $TESTS variable has finally been split into
$TEST_PROGS and $TEST_SCRIPTS with the latter being the names
of shell scripts that need to be run with `/bin/sh'. Now we
don't have to copy each shell script before we run it. NOTE:
THIS CHANGE DOES NOT AFFECT THE PABLO MAKEFILE SINCE THAT FILE
IS A COPY OF A PREVIOUSLY GENERATED MAKEFILE.
./src/Makefile.in
Added H5Snone.c to the source list.
./src/H5G.c
Plugged a memory leak by emptying the object type "isa" table
when the library is closed.
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
Added 48 new type functions to take advantage of hardware for
integer type conversions. These functions are not registered
in the conversion table yet because I haven't fully tested
them.
./src/H5Tpkg.h
Removed __unused__ qualifiers from prototypes.
----------------------
./INSTALL
Added instructions about specifying a path for GNU zlib and
HDF4 headers and library.
Added comments for each of the tool names. Added h5toh4 as a
tool name.
./configure.in
./conigure [REGENERATED]
./src/H5config.h.in [REGENERATED]
The config/* scripts get invoked with $CC_BASENAME set the
base name of the compiler in order to make it easier to handle
setting compiler flags for different compilers in a big case
statement. For instance, if $CC has the value
/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpicc -ansi -64
then $CC_BASENAME will be `mpicc'. The $CC_BASENAME is not
set if $CC is not set.
Fixed alignment in `configure --help'.
An include and/or library path can be specified for GNU zlib
if configure can't find it in normal places. The "normal"
means wherever your compiler normally searches, including
search paths you've added through environment variables like
CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. The INSTALL file has instructions.
The `-ljpeg' library is detected.
If `ssize_t' is not found then a #define is added to
H5config.h similar to what we already do for `size_t'.
We detect the hdf5 header file `mfhdf.h' and libraries
`-lmfhdf' and `-ldf' and if found define the H5TOH4 and
TESTH5TOH4 Makefile variables. The user can specify an
include and/or library path. The INSTALL file has
instructions.
The `RUNTEST' variable has been split into `RUNSERIAL' and
`RUNPARALLEL' because these are different commands. The
makefile still uses `RUNTEST', which defaults to the RUNSERIAL
value. The new testpar/Makefile.in sets RUNTEST to the
RUNPARALLEL value. The default RUNSERIAL value is empty and
the default RUNPARALLEL value is `mpirun -np 2'. These can
both be overridden in the config/* files. To make the value
the empty string set it like `RUNPARALLEL=none' in the
config/* file.
The new testpar/Makefile is generated from testpar/Makefile.in
./config/commence.in
Added the RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL makefile definitions.
./src/Makefile.in
The `H5detect' program is run with RUNSERIAL, which is empty
on all platforms except intel-osf1 (ASCI/Red)
./config/conclude.in
Removed the `.c.a:' implicit rule -- we don't use it any more.
./config/BlankForm
./config/alpha-dec

./config/irix64
./config/linux
./config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0
./config/rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.4.0
./config/solaris2.5
All of these files have been updated to hande multiple
compilers. Most of them assume `cc' if CC is not set. The
documentation in `BlankForm' has been updated and
documentation in the other files refer to `BlankForm'.
The intel-osf1 uses LDFLAGS instead of LIBS to specify the extra
library search paths.
./examples/Makefile.in
./test/Makefile.in
./tools/Makefile.in
Simplified by grouping some dependency information together
more succinctly.
The tools Makefile.in has been modified to work with the
`h5toh4' and `testh5toh4' programs. Until Paul checks these
in you may have problems compiling. If so, just create files
h5toh4.c and testh5toh4.c that contain:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s: not implemented\n", argv[0]);
return 1;
}
./src/H5public.h
Removed definition for `ssize_t' since this is now handled by
configure in H5config.h with a #define.
./MANIFEST
./testpar/Makefile.in [NEW]
Added a makefile for parallel tests. As soon as we get this
working properly we can remove the other four makefiles in
that directory and maintain just one.

Added tracing macros.
----------------------
./src/H5.c
Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison.
./src/H5D.c
Setting a fill value of all zeros will cause the fill value to
be written to the dataset instead of relying on the low-level

./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/mount.c [NEW]
Mounting tests.
./src/H5R.c
Fixed a couple (herr_t)NULL casts.
----------------------
./src/H5D.c
Fill values are working for contiguous datasets now except
there are two things that need more support from the data
space layer, specifically the ability to form a selection from
the difference of two selections. They are (1) extending an
external contiguous dataset, (2) optimization by delaying the
fill until after the first H5Dwrite().
Renamed H5D_allocate() to H5D_init_storage() since allocation
is only part of the story. Added a data space argument so it
doesn't have to query the space from the object header -- the
space is always available in the caller anyway.
Removed `#ifdef HAVE_PARALLEL' from a few places where it
wasn't necessary. We don't need it around code that doesn't
compile anything from mpi.h or mpio.h.
./src/H5Fistore.c
Uncommented H5F_istore_alloc() for non-parallel and moved the
`#ifdef HAVE_PARALLEL' just around Kim's barrier.
./src/H5Fmpio.c
Wrapped a couple long lines.
Got rid of two signed vs. unsigned comparison warnings.
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/fillval.c [NEW]
Added tests for fill values. The contiguous dataset extend
test is disabled until H5S_SELECT_DIFF is implemented.
./tools/Makefile.in
Fixed a bug where `make test' didn't build the executables
first. This should cause the snapshots to start up again.
./Makefile.in
Changed to build in `test' directory before `tools'
directory. We want the library tests to pass before we even
start considering the tools. You can still build and/or test
the tools independent of the library tests passing.
----------------------
./MANIFEST

./src/H5Sprivate.h
Added more type checking for the data transfer property list
passed to these functions.
./src/H5D.c
Added a dataset transfer property list as an argument to
H5D_allocate() for the parallel version in order to pass split
ratios down to H5F_istore_lock(). Eventually we won't need
the split ratios for H5D_allocate() because we'll build a
completely full B-tree from the leaves up, but it might be
useful to have other transfer properties at that level
anyway. I always caled H5D_allocate() with &H5D_dflt_xfer.

./src/H5Fsplit.c
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Z.c

./tools/h5tools.c
Increased temp buffer sizes and added a check for buffer
overflow so we fail an assertion (hopefully). This really
needs to be fixed sometime.
Added support for printing H5T_STRING data types.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
./bin/release
./bin/snapshot
The format of the MANIFEST file has been relaxed -- comments
and blank lines should no longer confuse the tools that use
it.
As before, this file should contain a list of *all* files that
are part of HDF5, which means all files which are managed by
CVS/SVF. However, files can be marked so they're not part of
a release by adding _DO_NOT_DISTRIBUTE_ after the file name.
I've removed all the *.obj files from the distribution by
adding _DO_NOT_DISTRIBUTE_ after their names. I also removed
the old white-papers that might not apply to the current
version of the library and documentation about chunking
performance since it's wrong now that chunk caching is
implemented. Everyone please check the files you're
responsible for to make sure that they should really be part
of a release.
To get a list of all files use
grep '^\.' MANIFEST | cut -f1
To get a list of files for distribution use:
grep '^\.' MANIFEST | grep -v _DO_NOT_DISTRIBUTE_
(These commands assume tabs in the MANIFEST file. If the file
might contain spaces then run it through `unexpand' or `tr'
first).
./configure.in
./configure

./RELEASE
Updated with important changes I made since the second beta.
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Dprivate.h
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
./src/H5R.c
./src/H5Rprivate.h
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Any API function that used to take an `hid_t loc_id' followed
by a `const char *name' can now take any type of object for
the loc_id as long as the object is somehow associated with a
file. Internally, H5G_loc() was modified to return an
H5G_entry_t* instead of an H5G_t* so it's more general.
Among other things, this allows one to retrieve information
about an object like a named type or dataset without knowing
the name of the type or dataset:
int
get_nlinks (hid_t obj)
{
H5G_stat_t sb;
if (H5Gstat(obj, ".", TRUE, &sb)<0) return -1;
return sb.nlink;
}
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
These files needed a couple of changes because they call some
of the internal functions whose H5G_t arguments changed to
H5G_entry_t.
./src/H5A.c
Got rid of all the switch statements for getting symbol table
entries for varous objects and replaced them with a call to
H5G_loc() allowing attributes to automatically apply to any
type of object that belongs to a file.
./test/Makefile.in
Moved the ragged array tests from the normal list of tests to
the `make timings' target.
./test/ragged.c
Added rewrite tests -- rewrite the rows of a dataset changing
the number of rows and the length of each row.
./test/mtime.c
Added a test that checks that H5Gstat() can be called with a
dataset as the first argument.
./src/H5S.c
Added #ifdef HAVE_PARALLEL around code to check for the
HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES environment variable because the global
variable that gets set is #ifdef'd.
./bin/release
bzip2 uses .bz2 as the file extension.
----------------------
./src/H5G.c
Fixed a link count on groups. Groups were always created with
a link count of zero instead of one.
./src/H5Gpublic.h
Added H5G_NTYPES so applications can easily declare arrays
which are indexed by object type.
./src/H5O.c
Calling `H5O_link(&ent,0)' will succeed when the file is open
for read only because it's the only way to get the object's
current link count.
./tools/h5ls.c
Can take non-group object names on the command line (and
multiple objects). Reorganized to be more extendible. The
link count is displayed for `-v'.
./src/H5F.c
Dumping of cache statistics is controlled by only the
HDF5_DEBUG environment variable and not the H5F_ACC_DEBUG flag
for H5Fopen() and H5Fcreate() since this makes it similar to
the other debugging options.
./src/H5R.c
./test/ragged.c
./test/Makefile.in
Tests pass but still a little work left to be done.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/mtime.c [NEW]
Test for the modification time message.
./src/H5AC.c
./src/H5Fistore.c
Turned off printing of statistics on H5close() if H5AC_DEBUG
isn't defined.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
./doc/html/H5.format.html
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
./src/H5Omtime.c [NEW]
./src/H5private.h
./src/Makefile.in
Added the modification time message. If an object header has
this message then it's value is updated with the current time
whenever anything changes in the object header.
./acconfig.h
./configure.in
Alas, there seems to be no standard way to convert a string
time like 19980727122800 in UTC to a time_t since mktime()
only converts local times to time_t. So I've modified the
configuration to check for various ways of getting the time
zone information:
* Added checks for the `tm_gmtoff' field of `struct tm'.
* Added a check for the `timezone' global variable.
* Added a check for `struct timezone'.
* Added a check for BSDgettimeofday().
* Added a check for gettimeofday() although it doesn't
actually set the timezone argument on some systems.
* Added a check to see if `tm_zone' is a member of `struct tm'.
* Added a check to see if `tzname' is a global variable.
* Added a check to see if `struct tm' is defined in time.h
or sys/time.h.
It's not difficult to get the right UTC modification message
into the object header, but some systems might have problems
getting the right time back out (Irix64 is one) and those
systems will report zero for the H5G_stat_t.mtime from an
H5Gstat() call as if the mtime message isn't even present. It
will, however, continue to be updated as normal.
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gpublic.h
The H5G_stat_t struct now contains an `mtime' field which will
hold the object modification time. If the object has no
object modification time then the `mtime' will be initialized
to zero.
Fixed a bug in H5G_stat() that caused the `objno' field of the
H5G_stat_t to be set incorrectly on some machines.
./src/H5D.c
Writing to external datasets fail if the hdf5 file is not open
for writing.
A modification time message is added to the dataset object
header when it's created and H5O_touch() is called from
H5D_write() to update that message.
./src/H5T.c
Fixed a bug in H5Tget_member_dims() that caused a segmentation
fault if one of the output array arguments was the null
pointer.
Relaxed the member dimension checking in H5Tinsert_array() so
it can also be used for scalar members.
./test/Makefile.in
Added additional file names to the `mostlyclean' target.
./tools/h5dump.c
./tools/h5tools.h
Increased the temporary buffer size to 1MB.
Added support for printing compound data types with array
members.
When printing H5T_NATIVE_CHAR and H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR we escape
double quote characters.
./tools/h5ls.c
Changed the output format a little because we were starting to
get too much info to fit on a line. Without `--verbose' each
object occupies one line of output. Otherwise, additional
information is printed below the object name: object file
address, comment, and modification time. If `--dump' is given
then the data is printed after the other information.
./test/cmpd_dset.c
Changed the way the dataset is initialized to be more uniform.
----------------------
./src/H5Flow.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5Fsplit.c
Changed the allocation size request from `size_t' to `hsize_t'
because it was overflowing for the `big' test.
./src/H5detect.c
If `long double' and `double' are the same size then we define
H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE to be the same as H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE.
Similarly for `long' vs. `long long' and `unsigned long' vs.
`unsigned long long'.
./test/Makefile.in
Added `big' to the list of tests to normally run.
./test/big.c
Added a check to see if the file system supports holes and if
it doesn't then the test is skipped.
----------------------
./Makefile.in
./config/commence.in
./config/conclude.in
./config/depend.in
./src/Makefile.in
./test/Makefile.in
Tests are no longer installed for `make install'. Added a new
target `make tests' that builds the tests but doesn't run them.
./configure.in
./configure [REGENERATED]
./src/H5config.h.in [REGENERATED]
Added detection of fork() and waitpid(). If present the
contants HAVE_FORK and HAVE_WAITPID will be defined in
H5config.h.
./test/dtypes.c
Minor tweaks for systems that don't have fork() or waitpid().
./MANIFEST
./tools [NEW]
./tools/Makefile.in [NEW]
./tools/h5debug.c [NEW]
./tools/h5import.c [NEW]

Added a tools directory and moved tools from the src directory
to here.
----------------------
./src/H5Tbit.c
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/bittests.c NEW
Finished the bit vector operations and added test cases.
./src/H5Tconv.c
./test/dtypes.c
Finished integer->integer general conversion and added test
cases. Overflows and underflows are handled by substituting
the closest possible value. Examples:
(unsigned)0xffff -> (unsigned) 0xff
( signed)0xffff -> (unsigned)0x0000
(unsigned)0xffff -> ( signed)0x7fff
( signed)0x7fff -> ( signed) 0x7f
( signed)0xbfff -> ( signed) 0xbf
( signed)0x8000 -> ( signed) 0x80
./src/H5private.h
Added definitions for MIN and MAX that take 3 or 4 arguments:
MIN3(), MIN4(), MAX3(), MAX4(). Also added MIN2() and MAX2()
as aliases for MIN() and MAX().
./test/tattr.c
Removed some redundant `&' operators.
./configure.in
./src/H5config.h.in [regenerated]
./src/H5.c
Fixed warnings on DEC where long double is the same as
double.
----------------------
./html/Datasets.html
Fixed a couple of typos.
./src/H5.c
Added the `Z' modifier to HDfprintf() for `size_t' sizes. Use
it like this:
HDfprintf(stderr,"size is %Zd\n", (size_t)x);
./src/H5AC.c
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
The maximum number of meta data objects that can be cached can
be set from the application (but the library might not honor
it every time; it's a hint).
./src/H5D.c
Changed a warning message so it's not so alarming.
./src/H5Fistore.c
Chunks can be cached.
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
Added H5O_copy() and H5O_free() to copy and free messages.
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
Added H5Pset_cache() and H5Pget_cache() and changed lots of
"template" to "property list".
./src/H5Z.c
./src/H5Zpublic.h
Miscellaneous little things to clean up. Mostly just removed
H5Z_MAXVAL and added H5Z_USERDEF_MIN and H5Z_USERDEF_MAX.
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/chunk.c [NEW]
Added a performance test for chunk caching. It looks at the
amount of I/O instead of timing because timing is partly
dependent on the chunk size and I wanted a measurement that
was a function of only the cache size. Run `chunk' with no
arguments and then say `gnuplot x-gnuplot' to see the plots
(press return between plots). Postscript files are created for
each plot.
./test/big.c
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
./test/gheap.c
Added H5F_ACC_DEBUG so we can see cache performance
statistics.

./test/Makefile.in
Symbolic links are now supported. The ./test/links program
will create a `links.h5' file that demonstrates hard links,
soft links, dangling links, and recursive links. A symbolic
link is a symbol table entity and doesn't have an object
header. It's format is described in H5.format.hml.
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gpublic.h
./src/h5ls.c
Implemented H5Gstat() and H5Gget_linkval() as documented by
Quincey. The `H5G_type_t type' field of `H5G_stat_t' was
changed to `int type' because H5G_type_t was already used and
the `type' data type should be open-ended.
./src/H5Ffamily.c
Removed an incorrect diagnostic message.
./test/big.c
Added read/write calls to test partial I/O to big contiguous
datasets. With no arguments it writes to a dataset and prints
the list of points written which should be redirected to a
file. With an argument (the name of a file containing the
stdout of a run with no arguments) values are read from the
dataset. One would typically say `big >x && big x'.
----------------------
./src/H5Osdspace.c
./html/H5.format.html
In the past we were allowed to have >2GB files on a 32-bit
machine as long as no dataset within the file was larger than
4GB (or whatever sizeof(size_t) is). That's been fixed now.
All dataset size calculations are done with `hsize_t' which is
normally defined as `unsigned long long'.
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Ffamily.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
The file family member size can now be set/queried. The
default is still 64MB, but it can be set to 1GB by saying:
H5Pset_family (plist, 30, H5P_DEFAULT);
When opening an existing file family the specified
bits-per-member is ignored and the first member of the family
determines the bits-per-member, which can be retrieved with
H5Pget_family().
./acconfig.h
./configure.in
./src/H5config.h
./src/H5public.h
Added `--disable-hsizet' so that those with old GCC compilers
(<2.8.1) can still compile the code.
./src/H5.c
./src/H5private.h
Added HDfprintf() which works just like fprintf() except you
can give `H' as a size modifier for the integer conversions
and supply an `hsize_t' or `hssize_t' argument without casting
it. For instance:
hsize_t npoints = H5Sget_npoints(space);
HDfprintf(stdout,"Dataset has %Hd (%#018Hx) points\n",
npoints, npoints);
You can now give `%a' as a format to print an address, but all
formating flags are ignored and it causes the return value of
HDfprintf() to not include the characters in the address (but
who uses the return value anyway :-). Example:
H5G_t *grp;
HDfprintf(stdout, "Group object header at %a\n",
&(grp->ent.header));
Added HDstrtoll() which works exactly like [HD]strtol() except
the result is an int64.
./src/debug.c
Large addresses can now be entered from the command-line. Use
either decimal, octal (leading `0') or hexadecimal (leading
`0x') when giving the address.
./src/h5ls.c
The printf format for dataset dimensions was changed to `%Hu'
to support large datasets.
./test/big.c [NEW]
A test for big datasets on 32-bit machines. This test is not
run by default. Don't try to run it on an nfs-mounted file
system or other file system that doesn't support holes because
it creates two 32GB datasets of all zero.
