Platforms tested:
h5committested (but copper was down.) tested in modi4 too.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
modi4 dies during build with strange errors.
The root cause of these is a two-year-old hack in HDF5's libtool
script that only takes effect on IRIX.
Solution:
Edited the libtool hack (by editing ltmain.sh) to correct a bug in
the hack.
Also made sure that compiler-specific DEFAULT_LIBS are used
when linking.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, sol
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Parallel builds were breaking in tools/lib
Solution:
talign didn't realize it depended on libh5tools.la because its
dependencies listed the full path (../../tools/lib/libh5tools.la).
Changed this, and made similar changes in a couple of other
directories.
This checkin should also add the --foreign flag to every Makefile.in
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (minor change)
New feature
Description:
Add basic code for new B-tree implementation. They don't do much yet,
aren't hooked up to anything yet and the format may change, but I'd like to
start getting them into the daily tests.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem
Solution:
Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in.
Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in,
configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it
print any warnings.
Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script,
and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping
to regenerate these files correctly.
Platforms tested:
heping sleipnir copper
Bug fix
Description:
Configuration files' timestamps were incorrect.
Solution:
Update Makefiles.in. Also added correct paths to autotools on heping,
so heping build should be able to re-generate configuration files even
if they are still broken.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir
Bug fix
Description:
Dependencies between configure files (aclocal, configure.in, configure,
Makefiles.am and .in) are still causing Makefiles to try to run autotools
during build.
Solution:
Committed all Makefiles.in to update their timestamps.
As a temporary measure, forcibly prevented automake from running
autotools during build by redefining the variables it uses.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (No changes to Makefile content)
Bug fix
Description:
Different compilers use different flags to include Fortran module files
Solution:
Changed boilerplate to use configure variable rather than hardcoded -M flag.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, sol, copper
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
If an HDF5 file grows larger than its address space, it dies and is unable to
write any data. This is more likely to happen since users are able to change
the number of bytes used to store addresses in the file.
Solution:
HDF5 now throws an error instead of dying. In addition, it "reserves" address
space for the local heap and for object headers (which do not allocate space
immediately). This ensures that after the error occurs, there is enough address
space left to flush the entire file to disk, so no data is lost.
A more complete explanation is at /doc/html/TechNotes/ReservedFileSpace.html

Fix
Description:
Fixed the install-doc command...
Solution:
Mostly just fixed in the config/conclude.in file, but updated the doc
directories with Makefile.ins and Dependencies so that they'd work.
Platforms tested:
Linux, Solaris
New doc and update
Description:
The original openmp-hdf5.html contains a bunch of C source code.
HTML does not like source code, especially C-code that contained
<...>. It gobbled it badly.
Solution:
Moved the source code to a new file, openmp-hdf5.c and make a
reference to it from openmp-hdf5.html.
Platforms tested:
Viewed via IE on an NT box.
"New" document
Description:
Raymond has prepared and added a new document reporting his
experience of using HDF5 with OpenMP. It was checked in as
a .txt file but browsers could not display it properly, at least
not for the MS-IE.
Solution:
I renamed the file from openmp-test.txt to openmp-hdf5.html,
added in simple mind html control statement (<pre>), added
an entry to the TechNote.html so that it can be found with
other technical notes.
Platforms tested:
Viewed by MS-IE.
Documentation of TS Library
Description:
This is the document Chee Wai wrote up about the thread safe
version of the HDF5 library. I just put it in HTML format and
checked it in...
Platforms tested:
Netscrape
Purpose:
This file describes the experiencing of OpenMP with hdf5.
Description:
All detailed description is in the file.
Solution:
[details about the changes, algorithm, etc...]
[Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is
better than others guessing it from the code.]
Platforms tested:
Everything was done on modi4.
Feature symmetry
Description:
A while ago I needed to get the 'type' of data being accessed during writes
to the VFL driver, so I put in code to get the information down there.
Albert asked for the same information during reads, so I've added that in.
Tested:
Netscape
Adding new document
Description:
Adding VFL.html (Virtual File Layer) to HDF5 Technical Notes.
August 1999 version. Will be updated for R1.4 by developer.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Update
Description:
Added the description of the environment variable HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES
which controls the use of optimized MPIO routines.
Platforms tested:
Viewed via IE.
Feature
Description:
Added a new document of all the controls (compiler macros,
environment variables, ...) that affect the functionality of
the libraries and tools.
Platforms tested:
