portable issue on windows
Description:
setvbuf on visual studio 2005 needs the size to be greater or equal to 2.
<description of setvbuf from msdn library>
Buffer size in bytes. Allowable range: 2 <= size <=
INT_MAX (2147483647). Internally, the value supplied
for size is rounded down to the nearest multiple of 2.
h5import used linebuffer option of setvbuf for stderr and stdout and the size is
0 by default. This causes core dump with visual 2005 on windows 64-bit.
Solution:
1. Use HDsetvbuf inside h5import.c,
2. Define HDsetvbuf inside windows H5pubconf.h for windows to work around
the core dump of h5import test. This is probably a bug inside visual studio 2005.
Platforms tested:
h5committest( shanti refuses to be connected)
windows 6.0 at XP
visual 2005 at XP-64bit
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Check in some of the code cleanups from working on the external link
support. (This doesn't include any of the external link features)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OSX.4 (amazon)
Linux 2.4
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches
difficult.
Solution:
Ran this script in each directory:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up lots of warnings based on those reported from the SGI compilers
as well as gcc.
Platforms tested:
SGI O3900, IRIX64 6.5 (Cheryl's SGI machine)
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/ & w/o parallel
h5committest
Code Improvement
Description:
Changed from passing a structure into a function by value into
passing it in by pointer. Noticed this while compiling with a highly
optimizing compiler which took >30 minutes to analyze the program
(granted, this is the compiler's fault, but in general, it's better
to pass large structures in by pointer and not by value).
Platforms tested:
Linux (specific to h5import, so only needed to test on one platform)
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Use H5E_BEGIN_TRY/H5E_END_TRY macros around code which shouldn't display
the error stack on failure, instead of setting and resetting the automatic
error printing routines.
Platforms tested:
h5committested
Minor corrections to match the man pages. Code provided by Pankaj.
Description:
* do not accept more than 30 file names
* corrected error messages.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Tested on verbena.
Already tested on several platforms before integration.
Misc. update:
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: 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.
