Code optimization
Description:
Use Duff's Device to unroll shuffling loop a bit, for ~30% speedup.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Purpose:
Add h5tget_member_index_f and h5tget_member_class_f.
Reformat links index at top of page to balance Fortran lists
and cleanup the C listing.
Platforms tested:
Firefox
Improvement
Description:
Changed headers in Fortran directories to use H5_FC_FUNC macro
from H5pubconf.h rather than FC_FUNC macro from H5config.h.
This is better practice and works better with the Windows projects.
Platforms tested:
heping, Windows
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
New feature.
Description:
The N-Bit filter needs a test case for no-op datatypes.
Solution:
A test case was added to test a compound datatype with
N-Bit fields and no-op fields.
Platforms tested:
heping, shanti
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
The current HDF5 library call H5Tget_size when called by the filter
does not give the correct disk size for varible-length and variable-length
string. The filter needs to have another way, if possible, to get their
sizes.
Solution:
The filter can only solve this problem if varible-length and variable-length
string is a member of compound datatype. The filter does not support the
situation where an array datatype has variable-length or variable-length
string as its base datatype.
Platforms tested:
heping, shanti
Misc. update:
FOrtran is using macro FC_FUNC or H5_FC_FUNC
Has to update windows H5pubconf.h to be consistent with the
change.

Bug fix for windows project files
Description:
Environmental variable HDF5_SZIP_DLL should be replaced by
HDF5_SZIP,
HDF5_ZLIB_DLL should be replaced by HDF5_ZLIB.

update work space file on windows
Description:
work space file should be updated to incoroprate the new check-in project files btree2, blocketc....
Solution:

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
HDF5_EXT_SZIP_DLL system environment variable is depleted, should be removed from the project file.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
MSVS 6.0 on XP
Misc. update:
Description: Added missing h5get_member_class_f function
Solution:
Platforms tested: heping; it is a simple change. I will
watch daily tests and take care of failures.
Misc. update:
Feature: make install now installs h5perf
Description:
h5perf is now installed in hdf5/bin during 'make install.'
Same change as in the 1.6 branch.
Platforms tested:
mir
Change maximum test number from 30 to 40 since more collective IO tests were
added into parallel HDF5 test.
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
heping, copper, tungsten, cobalt, SDSC TG.
Misc. update:
Feature
Description:
Added new function, getenv_all (only for parallel builds)
Solution:
getenv_all is a collective version of getenv. It is used to the return the value of
an environment variable in another task and can be used to synchronize all of the
environment variables used by all of the tasks. This helps to fix problems that commonly crop up
(like with HDF5_PARAPREFIX) when an environment variable does not propogate to other tasks.
This commit only includes the function. Future commits will replace the various getenv calls with getenv_all calls.
Platforms tested:
heping, sol, copper
Misc. update:
Description: Yesterday, dtypes.c was split into two programs, dtypes.c and dt_atomic.c.
After dt_atomic.c was added, dtypes.c remained the same as before waiting for the
daily test to pass. While dt_atomic.c turned out fine today, the test in dt_atomic.c
was taken out from dtypes.c. There's also some minor change in dt_atomic.c.
Platforms tested: h5committest

Misc. update:
Support collective IO for irregular selection.
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux with MPICH
AIX with mpcc_r
Linux with ChaMPIO
Altix with intel
Misc. update:
Activating collective IO supports for irregular selction inside HDF5 dataset.
This support doesn't include to build the final complicated MPI derived datatype support for chunking storage.
Description:
Support collective chunk IO for both contiguous and chunking storage for irregular selection( using H5S_SELECT_OR for multiple hyperslab selection)
Solution:
Using MPI derived datatype to realize this feature.
Problems still need to be investigated:
Big size irregular hyperslab selection test may cause MPI hang or abnormalexit with MPICH family on various platforms. This is really hard to debug since sometimes it can work and sometimes it cannot work. We will continue investigating those cases. This may not be parallel HDF5 bugs since with the recent version of poe at IBM platforms, all tests passed.
Platforms tested:
1. Linux heping 2.4.21-27.0.1 with mpich
2. AIX 5.1 copper with mpcc_r
3. Altix cobalt SGI linux 2.4.21-sgi304rp05031014_10149 with icc -lmpi
4. Linux Cluster SDSC TG, intel 8-r2 with mpich 1.2.5
5. NCSA Linux Cluster Tungsten, MPICH-TCP-1.2.5.2, Intel 8.0 under lustre
6. NCSA Linux Cluster Tungsten, MPICH-LAM-INTEL711, sometimes not working
7. NCSA Linux CLuster Tungsten, champion-pro-1.2.0-3, not working for other collective IO tests, but work for irregular selection collective IO test.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
FAIL was being doubly defined in high-level fortran directory.
Removed inclusion of H5private.h from H5f90i.h in hl/fortran/src.
Platforms tested:
copper
Bug fix
Description:
When chkmanifest failed, output is not dumped to failed detail section
and people tend to ignore it.
Solution:
Buffer the output of chkmanifest in a file and dump it to failed detail
section if it fails. Else, just output to standout.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand in heping.
Improvement
Description:
Dumping the beginning 10 lines of log files does not give much
useful information and they sort of mix up with the last 30 lines.
Solution:
Do not dump the beginning 10 lines any more.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Automake relies on the helper script depcomp to handle dependency tracking.
This script was from an older version of automake, and was generating
warnings on copper and sol.
Solution:
Updated bin/depcomp and bin/missing scripts.
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, modi4
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
Feature
Description:
Added support for conditional compilation of parallel Fortran
examples. No such examples exist currently, but it should be
possible to add them to the Makefile.am with no fuss and have
them compile only when parallel is enabled.
Platforms tested:
eirene, copper, modi4
Misc. update:
Description: In the last checkin, the fix wasn't quite correct. This round simply corrects the mistake
from last round, especially the endianess was left out.
Platforms tested: shanti, modi4, fuss - these machines cover both little and big endians.

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.
