Code optimization
Description:
Eliminate more dataspace copying, etc.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
too minor to require h5committest
bug fix, new tests
Description:
added a couple of #ifdefs to check if a specific filter is available for read
added more tests
the h5tools check filters had a mismatched filter variable
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux, with several filter configurations (all, some , none )
Misc. update:
Code optimization
Description:
Reduce the number of dataspace copies made when performing I/O on chunked
datasets.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
too minor to require h5committest
new tests for h5repack
Description:
added more tests both to the test program and shell script that test
a variation of different filter converssions
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
new tests for h5repack
Description:
added tests that do layout type to layout type conversion in a matrix of 9 between compact, contiguous and chunking
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
afs has problems; I could not telnet to sol and copper, arabica is really slow (meaning
waiting 1 minute for a typed character) and the writing of a file gave an error
arabica 181% afs: failed to store file (145)
afs: failed to store file (145)
Misc. update:
Description: NULL dataspace. This step is mainly for dataspace header
message and a test.
Solution: The test mainly checks NULL dataspace features. Backward compatibility
is tested in the fill value test.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Code optimization
Description:
Eliminate unnecessary allocation and point at existing data structure
instead.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
too minor to require h5committest
Code optimization
Description:
Fix H5S_select_hyperslab to use arrays on the stack instead of dynamically
allocating them each time.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
too small to require h5committest
Code optimization
Description:
Fix H5S_select_copy so it doesn't call calloc() for allocating memory that
will be immediately overwritten.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
too small to require h5committest
Code optimization
Description:
Minor tweaks on the optimized offset/length sequence generator to improve
performance by reducing the number of 64-bit multiplies and calls to memcpy().
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
too minor to require h5committest
Code optimization
Description:
Compute the size of a chunk once, when the layout information is set,
instead of each time I/O is performed on the chunk.
Platforms tested:
h5committest
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Code optimization
Description:
Move handling for free list arrays that have no maximum size to separate
set of routines and optimize computations for free list arrays with maximum
size to avoid re-computing sizes all the time.
Platforms tested:
h5committest
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
bug fix
Description:
the synntax of the input of h5repack conatined double quotes and spaces, which
were causing problems on the parsing in AIX paralell
Solution:
replaced the spaces by =
that is, instead of -f "GZIP 6"
we have now
-f GZIP=6
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX paralell
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
nerror was not updated when errors were detected.
Added the nerror update and print a message at
the end if all is well.
Platforms tested:
Tested in copper, both parallel and serial.
feature
Description:
Change testphdf5 to use the common test program syntax.
Needed to change the protocols of all test programs to
fit the requirement of the common test syntax.
Platforms tested:
"h5committested".
Also tested in sol with PP mode.
Feature
Description:
Added to AddTest() a generic parameters pointer argument to
allow some extra parameters for some tests. E.g., test file
names can be customized during runtime and passed into the
test routines.
Platforms tested:
"h5committested".
Also run compat test in eirene.
Bug fix/code cleanup
Description:
Copy Robb's feature in SSlib that checks that the name of the function
used in the FUNC_ENTER macro is actually the name of function.
Fixed a bunch of typos & copy-n-pasto's for functions with incorrect names.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
too minor to require h5committest
bug fix continuation
Description:
the atof return value on a hexadecimal input is different
on some systems; before checking for the atof return value
do a character check for the first 2 characters of the string input
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
add a "generator" program for the test files that are used in the "test_filter_endianess"
of the dsets test
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
windows
Misc. update:
bug fix (sort of)
Description:
apparently linux and other systems (solaris) return a different value from atof if the
argument is in hexadecimal .
this return value was used to test if the argument to -p and -d was a valid floating point
number
for now , commented the calls in the script with -p <hexa> until we find a portable solution
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
windows
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the -p option was not parsing correctly if the input was in the exponential format
Solution:
add a new parse test for floating point numbers
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
code clean, change test script
Description:
removed soem debugging messages
changed the chunking command line call to a non square dimensionality
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
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
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:
H5FD_mpio_init was calling the public API version of H5Iget_type()
which would clear the error stack, thus cleared away error messages
prematurely.
Solution:
Changed it to call the private version of H5I_get_type() which
does not clear the error stack.
Platforms tested:
o2 (SGI) parallel.
Cleaning up warnings
Description:
Many exception constructors have warnings about reference to temporary
location because of the parameter initialization, for example,
"const string& var = 0."
Solution:
Changed "string&" parameters to pass by value for these constructors.
Consequently, passing string by value also takes care of char pointers
so the overloaded constructors for char pointers are then removed.
Also, instead of setting Exception::detailMessage to null string, I
set it to DEFAULT_MSG ("No detailed information provided") by default.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IA-64 (titan)
Description: The algorithm of H5T_bit_neg wasn't general enough.
Solution: Changed it to handle arbitory starting position and size
in a bit sequence.
Platforms tested: h5committest.
Description: The H5T_bit_dec algorithm wasn't general enough.
Solution: Changed it to handle bit sequence starting at any position
and of any length.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Description: unsigned long or unsigned long long failed to be converted to
float or double during software conversion on some systems. It's believed
there are bugs on those systems(modi4, premium, o2, arabica).
Solution: temporarily disable these tests.
Platforms tested: Simply comment out. No need to do test.
bug fix
Description:
the test that reads a pre-saved file with filters must only be run
when that filter is available on the current configuration,
otherwise the library trigers a read error
Solution:
added a #ifdef for the filter, that prints -SKIP- in case we do not have the filter
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
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 added binary files to read did not have the construction of the "srcdir" path
Solution:
add it
Platforms tested:
linux
