Bug fix/optimization
Description:
Address slowdown in MPI-I/O file metadata operations that was introduced
mid-stream. We now _require_ a POSIX compliant parallel file system for the
MPI-I/O file driver (as well as for the MPI-POSIX file driver).
Also optimized file open operation when the file is being created by
reducing the number of collective & syncronizing calls.
Additionally, refactor the MPI routines into a common place, eliminating
duplicated code.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
h5committest
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: Fortran APIs MAC OS X port for IBM XL Fortran compiler
Solution: Brought back changes from 1.6 branch
Platforms tested: pommier, h5comittested; this time h5committest
complained about copperpp directory and didn't run;
tests on verbena and sol passed.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Refactor library testing framework (used for the testhdf5 & ttsafe tests)
to remove almost all of the duplicated code, moving the common code into a
new 'testframe.c' source file.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w & w/o thread-safety
h5committest
h5diff new feature
Description:
added compare for attributes
a new options flag (-a) was added to the options structure. it is 0 by default (no compare )
the output of the compare is the same that for datasets, and all the other flags also apply for attributes
(the memory compare is done in the same function diff_array)
all the other requirements for compare of datasets (type, space) are identical too
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.7
IRIX
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Removed "H5Git" routines, now that there are library routines which perform
the same functionality.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena) w/FORTRAN
too minor for h5committest
Description: The standard output from Error API test has some non-standard
message like path name or line number.
Solution: use sed to remove any non-standard information in testerror.sh
Platforms tested: h5committest
to avoid printing error messages.
Description: If enable-hdf5v1_6 is configured in, make some functions
compatible with v1.6. Error test program print out some error messages as
it succeeds.
Solution: Use #ifdef H5_WANT_H5_V1_6_COMPAT statements. Use shell script
to compare error test output with the standard one.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
pablo build failed.
Solution:
Fixed the makefile so that the needed header files are again created on the
fly.
Platforms tested:
modi4, copper, verbena, arabica
Misc. update:
Purpose: Bug fix.
Description: Parallel make fails because Pablo IDs are not assigned.
Solution: Extracted the Pablo IDs into header files and added them to the
pablo subdirectory instead of creating them on the fly.
Platforms tested: h5committested by Albert
Misc. update: Have updated MANIFEXT
This is an omibus update to the h5dump program.
1. Fixes bug 888
2. updates XML output to 1.6
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
verbena, arabica, copper (64)
Misc. update:
MANIFEST updated
Need to do release notes.
Update
Description:
Revamped the configuration system. The configurations for the Fortran
and C++ libraries are no longer separate from the "main"
configuration system. This involved removing the "configure*" and
"aclocal.m4" files from the fortran/ and c++/ subdirectories. Also
merging settings in the config/ subdirectories into the main config/
subdirectory.
Fortran header files had to be modified a little for Linux. It was
checking if it was a Linux machine by some #defines, however with the
-std=c99 switch, these defines weren't there. I added a check for
some other ones which should be there whether the -std=c99 switch is
used or not.
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Sol (Fortran & C++)
Copper (Fortran & C++)
Modi4 (Parallel, Fortran, & C++)
Misc. update:
New tool.
Description:
A new tool to build the HDF5 library. This was historically the
makeh5 command. Added here so that it can be used in machines outside
of the HDF Groups. Having it in the source allows version specific
customization.
Platforms tested:
Did run h5committest which failed due to other source code problems.
Tested it by hand by ../hdf5/bin/buildhdf5 and passed as far as its
own functionality.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: I added three new configuration files in c++/config
directory for Cray SV1, T3E and T90IEEE
Solution: Modified MANIFEST to add new files.
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance for 1.6 release
Description: I added INSTALL_Windows_withf90.txt file that was lost
in 1.5 branch.
Solution: Modified MANIFEST to include new file.
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Limit the scope on more function prototypes/macros/typedefs.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest not necessary.
