Fix
Description:
The way I was checking for -lfoo flags wasn't rigorous enough.
Solution:
Use a "grep" instead of the "case" statement. Also check that the
full "-lfoo" flag is matched instead of just part of it.
Platforms tested:
Linux (small fix)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
A few groups were left open after they were used.
Solution:
Closed them. :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committested
Bug Fix
Description:
Some compilers aren't happy if you specify the same library multiple
times when linking. This caused HDF5 Lite to crash during tests on
Kelgia
Solution:
Modified the script so that the shared libraries are specified only
once for the commandline.
Platforms tested:
Kelgia (small fix).
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
When doing a "configure" using the h5cc script as the compiler, it
would fail to accept the "-E" flag as running the preprocessor. The
problem was that it was trying to link the file afterwards. Of
course, the file wouldn't be there, so it would fail.
Solution:
Changed it so that if the -E flag is used, then we don't try to link
(this is how it's done in mpicc...I must have copied it wrongly).
Platforms tested:
Linux & Kelgia (small change not needing full testing)
Misc. update:
changed algorythm
Description:
changed the array_diff function to increment the read buffer with a size selected
by an appropriate native data type.
previously it was assumed, e.g. int size = 4 bytes
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica, 64bit mode)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The tests would just segmentation fault in Tflops because the
compiled code were launched without using the $RUNSERIAL to launch
them. This may fail in some batch systems like Tflops.
Solution:
Used $RUNSERIAL to launch the compiled code.
Also fixed a typo of the script command line.
Platforms tested:
Only tested in Tflops since the modified code resided there.
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
datasets with different storage datatypes where not read to memory to same size types
Solution:
obtain the memory type and size, for the TWO datasets ,
with the "fixtype" function
"upgrade" the smaller size to the larger if they are different
added H5DIFF_DEBUG flag for print information
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica, 64bit mode)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
added new test files for h5diff
bug fix
Description:
the criteria for determining the correct switch case cast to void* to type* was the data size read from disk.
this was causing problems on Cray T3E, where all integer except char are 8 bytes long
Solution:
changed the criteria for using the memory size instead, which is determined by the same function
that reads the data into memory
the messages " using memory NATIVE_TYPE_X" were removed, because they might not coincid on different
platforms.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
New feature/enhancement
Description:
Chunked datasets are handled poorly in several circumstances involving
certain selections and chunks that are too large for the chunk cache and/or
chunks with filters, causing the chunk to be read from disk multiple times.
Solution:
Rearrange raw data I/O infrastructure to handle chunked datasets in a much
more friendly way by creating a selection in memory and on disk for each chunk
in a chunked dataset and performing all of the I/O on that chunk at one time.
There are still some scalability (the current code attempts to
create a selection for all the chunks in the dataset, instead of just the
chunks that are accessed, requiring portions of the istore.c and fillval.c
tests to be commented out) and performance issues, but checking this in will
allow the changes to be tested by a much wider audience while I address the
remaining issues.
Platforms tested:
h5committested, FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) serial & parallel, Linux 2.4 (eirene)
h5diff update
Description:
removed the -l , list, option
this feature will be part of a different tool
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
during the sequencial match list, by default the differences between matched datasets were printed.
added an -m option that allows to turn this off, just printing the file differences
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Fixed description. Should be 1-byte instead of 1-bytes
Platforms tested:
Linux (Small change, no need for full checking)
Misc. update:
Feature Add
Description:
It's now possible to print out characters as actual characters
instead of their decimal equivalent numbers. It's the same thing that
h5ls does. The flag to do this is "--string" or "-r".
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
"$@" was used to represent all argument provided. This has the
unfortunate effect as one argument of "" when actually no argument
was given. Some machines throw the "" away but some like Tflops
and Alpha Q, retains them as a single argument of "". This caused
the no filename given test to fail.
Solution:
Replaced "$@" with a plain $@.
Platforms tested:
h5committested
Misc. update:
added more tests, described in the test matrix
Description:
test -r
test -l
expanded -d, -p and -n tests
test different types to include links and named types
test for non supported classes, e.g bitfield, opaque , etc
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
update
Description:
Added h5fc to the h5tools list.
Added feature that it will udpate tools that are present.
(Would still abort if no tools found at all.)
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committest since it does not test this tool at all.
Did various test in eirene by hand.
Misc. update:
added some niceties and utilities, and more tests
Description:
some niceties: more error messages on cases of bad input
utilities: some functions to more human readable output
more tests: described in the test matrix
Platforms tested:
Linux/rockaway(C)
SunOS/arabica (C)
SGI/modi4 (C)
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: On HP11.00 and True64 systems strtoll function that is used
to read text to long integers is not available. Compilation
fails for h5import.c
Solution: Replace strtoll with HDstrtoll. HDstrtoll is a private HDF5 function
defined in H5private.h file, but this include file was already used
by h5import for some other reasons. It would be probably better
to choose strtol or strtoll functions at the configuration
time, but HDstrtoll provided really simple solution for now.
Platforms tested: arabica (to test that where it was working, it is still working),
kelgia (HP11.00) and PSC True64 machine.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: h5import tests will fail if srcdir option
is used with configure.
Solution: Modified h5importtest.c h5importtestutil.sh files
to search for input files in the proper directory and
to write output files to the proper directory.
Platforms tested: Tested on burrwhite, arabica, and modi4.
Unfortunately srcdir option was used only on
arabica, since I am having a weird 'timezone'
problem on all Linux machines when srcdir is used, and
on modi4 build has to be done in the same directory (at
least this is a message I am getting from configure;
should it work?)
Misc. update:
added more tests to automatic testing
Description:
added test for an invalid option letter
added test for -h option
added test for an invalid option -d
added test for an invalid option -d number
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux, solaris, sgi
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: There was an old h5import (h5import.c) tool in the misc directory.
The tool created 8-bit integer datasets , it was never tested and/or
supported.
Solution: We decided to rename old h5import.c to h5createU8.c. The new name reflects what
actually old tool does. New executable h5createU8 is built in the misc directory.
h5import.c file (old one) is still in the misc directory, but h5import executable
is not built. (Sorry if I confused you!)
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested
Misc. update:
Purpose: New tool
Description: Pankaj created h5import tool long time ago. I am finally checking
the source code in for the 1.6 release.
Known problems: h5import test will crash if srcdir option
is used; will be fixed before the release.
Solution:
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested. h5import tests passed
I also tested on arabica with srcdir option to make sure that
there is a problem when srcdir is used. After that I disabled
h5import tests. Daily tests will build h5import, but will not run
h5import tests.
Misc. update:
added test script for h5diff
code cleaning for alpha release
makefile now generates the h5difftst.c program that generates 2 .h5 files for testing
Description:
the .sh script runs several runs of h5diff and compares the output
with a predifined output located in /tools/testfiles (.txt files)
righ now it has only one test
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (other platforms later , ok !? )
Misc. update:
