Misc. update:
Misc. update: Document some errors in test/dt_arith.c when converting data from
long double to (unsigned) long long and from (unsigned) long long to long double.
Description: Updated VMS installation instructions to reflect support
for the deflate filter; documented scale+offset test failures
when G_FLOAT is used (not IEEE double)
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Description: There was some logical confusion about the value of the macro
H5_HW_FP_TO_LLONG_NOT_WORKS. It's supposed to be true for Windows, but false
for Unix machines.
Solution: Corrected.
Platforms tested: fuss(Linux) and amazon(MacOS 10.4) - simple change.
Description: dsets and objcopy tests were missing from the command files
Solution: Added appropriate commands to compile and run tests
Platforms tested: VMS server with native float
Misc. update:
Description: Windows doesn't recognize "long long" but "long_long".
Solution: The library defined a more general type "long_long". Use
it instead.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Added Exress Test mode.
Description:
The test takes a long time to run. It tempted developers to skip the
h5committest.
Solution:
Added Express Test mode to allow tester an option to run it in express
mode (shorter time.) There are already encoded QAK macro which skips
many tests. Follow that pattern to skip tests when HDF5TestExpress is
set.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping, both serial and parallel.
feature.
Description:
Added the option of -64 which is similar to -n32. This is needed by
Atlantia which has the ABI as -n32.
Platforms tested:
Pretty straight forward but not testable by h5committest.
Will be tested when daily tests run.
Feature
(Code and tests are done by Christian. I just committed the code.)
Description:
Rewrote the purpose of this test. Now it tests these three cases,
/*
* Test following possible scenarios,
* Case 1:
* Sequential create a file and dataset with H5D_ALLOC_TIME_EARLY and large
* size, no write, close, reopen in parallel, read to verify all return
* the fill value.
* Case 2:
* Sequential create a file and dataset with H5D_ALLOC_TIME_EARLY but small
* size, no write, close, reopen in parallel, extend to large size, then close,
* then reopen in parallel and read to verify all return the fill value.
* Case 3:
* Sequential create a file and dataset with H5D_ALLOC_TIME_EARLY and large
* size, write just a small part of the dataset (second to the last), close,
* then reopen in parallel, read to verify all return the fill value except
* those small portion that has been written. Without closing it, writes
* all parts of the dataset in a interleave pattern, close it, and reopen
* it, read to verify all data are as written.

Platforms tested:
Tested in copper, tg-ncsa and heping, all in parallel mode.
Bug fix
Description:
tg-login was having an error about H5match_types.Tpo being missing.
Solution:
tg-login was trying to build H5_match_types twice at the same time and
becoming confused as a result.
Massaged the dependencies in the Makefile.am to prevent this.
Platforms tested:
mir, sol, tg-login
1) Check in potential fix to unreproduceable bug in t_cache observed on
Cobalt
2) Check in code supporting added pinned entry features in the metadata
cache.
Description:
1) Elena encountered a bug in t_cache when running on Cobalt. On
investigation I found a potential race condition in t_cache that
could explain her observation.
2) Quincey requested additions to the metadata cache allowing renaming
of pinned entryies, and marking of pinned or protected entries as
dirty.
Solution:
1) Modified t_cache.c to prevent the potential race condition. Elena
was unable to reproduce the bug on Cobalt, so we don't know if my
fix actually addressed the problem.
2) Added code supporting the requested functions. The changes were
relatively trivial, but required substantial new test code.
Platforms tested:
h5committest, serial test on heping, parallel test on phoenix.
Misc. update:
Description: dtype_file.txt is a text file for testing complicated compound type
for H5LTtext_to_dtype(). dtype_file_readable.txt is just a human-readable version
of dtype_file.txt for debugging purpose.
Platforms tested: No test.
Description: The current code in Yacc parser doesn't handle big-endian
machine for enum type correctly.
Solution: Depending on the super type of enum, use appropriate integer
type to pass in enum value.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Description:
Shanti compiler destroy unnamed objects later than others, which caused
some reference counting test fail. Revised the test so that destructors
are called at the same time, regardless the differences of compiler
implementation.
Revised some constructors, close, operator=, and destructors to make
sure that all the object ids are handled properly.
Platforms tested:

More machines stop supporting "rsh machine command".
Worse yet, it hangs the "rsh machine command" process.
Solution:
Switch the order of testing remote execution to use
ssh first, then rsh.
Platforms tested:
no h5committest since it does not test this command.
Change is trivial and will monitor Daily test tonight.

Document error.
Description:
The fix of the TR was put in the wrong session (new configure feature).
It is moved to the proper session (bug fix on configure.)
Bug fix.
Description:
The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed
because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'.
The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr
but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather
clumsy.
Solution:
Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range
by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to
use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the
definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when
autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code.
The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from
configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay
because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti
using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.)
Misc. update:
Updated both INSTALL and RELEASE files.
Updating project file
Description:

Misc. update:
Description: Yesterday, a definition of the macro YY_BUF_SIZE of 256KB
was committed in, but copper complained it can't be redefined.
Solution: Added #ifdef and #undef to make sure the macro is undefined
first. Also integrated a complicated compound type test. It reads
input from a text file. The datatype is unusually large, of 101 member
fields.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Description: The default size for input buffer of Lex is only 8K. Some
application has input string far bigger than it.
Solution: Increase the size by defining YY_BUFFER_SIZE to be 256K (262144)
in H5LTanalyze.l
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Code checkpoint
Description:
Checkpoint fractal heap improvements, as well as move the free space
manager code that it's using into a separate package.
Platforms tested:

Linux 2.4/32 (heping)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
AIX 5.? (copper) w/FORTRAN & parallel
Bug fix.
Description:
Some machines (e.g., HPUX) will have off64_t defined but no support
for stat64 unless certain LargeFile macro is turned on. This caused
the last fix on H5private not quite right which caused compiling failures.
Solution:
Added stat64 and fstat64 tests and then will use them only if they
are supported.
Platforms tested:
Tested on kelgia, copper and heping (pll).
(Compiling alright but tests for kelgia and heping are not done.
expect no problems.)
Description: When --enable-group-revision flag was used, h5fget_filesize_f
function returned different value from expected one. Test failed
with false negative result.
Solution: Added Fortran function h5_group_revision_f and its
C stub to check if macro H5_GROUP_REVISION is defined.
Expected value from h5fget_filesize_f is set up accordingly.
Platforms tested: copper, shanti and heping with and without
--enable-group-revision configuration flag
Misc. update:
Description: Added support for Zlib compression on VMS
Solution: Modified command files to add compilation and linking with
the ZLIB library.
Platforms tested: VMS servere with the VAX floating datatype;
will test IEEE option later
Misc. update:
Description: Function prototype H5E_walk_t and structure H5E_error_t wasn't backward
compatible.
Solution: Make them compatible with v1.6 and provide new definitions of H5E_walk_stack_t
and H5E_error_stack_t.
Platforms tested: fuss and h5committest.
Bug fix.
Description:
C++ testhdf5 failed when it tried to inspect the size of a file
via the HDstat call. The reason was that the CFLAGS has -D_LARGE_FILES
hardset in it while the CXXFLAGS does not. So, C is using an off_t
that is 8 bytes while C++ is using off_t as 4 bytes. C is using
a version of 64bits stat/off_t/etc while C++ uses the 32 bits version.
Thus a failure.
Solution:
Added -D_LARGE_FILES to $CXXFLAGES so that both C and C++ are using
the same version of stat/off_t/etc.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Copper only, both 32 and 64 bits since the changes affected
the AIX platform only.
Bug fix for collective chunk IO
Description:
Several options have been provided inside HDF5 library for
obtaining chunk addresses when doing collective chunk IO.
One option is to obtain chunk addresses for one process and broadcast
to other processes. This option needs all processes to participate.
If using link-chunked IO without any optimizations,
sometimes this is not true due to the random initialization for one variable at mpich 1.2.7.
This is a bug inside the collective chunk IO code.
Solution:
1.Initalize all the variables to some safe numbers,
2. Avoid using MPI broadcast to obtain the chunk address if possible
until more performance studies have been done.
3. Seems okay to obtain chunk addresses individually for each processor.
This option may cover most cases.
Platforms tested:
h5committest(copper is not usable)
NCSA teragrid (mpich 1.2.5)
mir 64-bit linux (mpich 1.2.6)
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
Previous H5private.h would attempt to use the off64_t/stat64/etc
by checking just sizeof __INT64 being 8. This caused errors in
some machines like alpha cluster which is a 64bit machine. Its
compiler supports the type __int64 but it does not support
off64_t since its off_t is already 64bits big. The above code
casued the compiler to complain about the unknown off64_t and
such.
Solution:
H5private.h:
Changed the code to use the pseudo standard of off64_t/stat64/etc
only if sizeof(off_t) is not 64 bits AND sizeof(off64_t) exists
and is 64 bits. This assumes if off64_t is defined, all those
stat64, fstat64, etc are supported too.
configure.in:
configure:
Added the testing of sizeof(off64_t) to support the above solution.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. Also tested at LANL QSC.
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: dtypes.c compilation failed with gcc 4.1 due to the
missing prototype of the opaque_funcs function.
Failure was reported by a user who tried to build
hdf5-1.8.0-alpha2.
I reproduced the failure on sleipnir with gcc41
compiler.
Solution: Added prototype definition.
