Description:
Added several tests for packet table that were missing from the
previous update.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Linux/64 (platypus)
Darwin (osx1010test)
Description:
The Packet Table API used to have fixed-length and variable-length functions
(i.e., H5PTcreate_fl and H5PTcreate_vl), but in 2006, the vlen functions
were ifdef'ed out with VLPT_REMOVED, see HDFFV-442. The majority of this
revision includes removing unused vlen stuff, adding various vlen tests,
initial code cleanup, and first pass of commenting.
Details:
- Removed the VLPT_REMOVED ifdef, but keep H5PTis_varlen and the free
function because they are useful or even needed, but the free
function's name is changed to be more appropriate for both
read/write buffers, i.e., H5PTfree_vlen_buff.
- The new test file, test_packet_vlen.c, contains tests showing packet
tables, containing various types of vlen data, can be created with
the fixed-length function
- Two accessor functions were added per HDFFV-8623/patch 003.
/* Returns the ID of the dataset associated with the packet table */
hid_t H5PTget_dataset(hid_t table_id);
/* Returns the ID of the datatype the packet table uses */
hid_t H5PTget_type(hid_t table_id);
- Various cleanup: replacing 0/-1 with SUCCEED/FAIL and H5I_BADID with
H5I_INVALID_HID, and removing many warnings.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Linux/64 (platypus)
Darwin (osx1010test)
Tested w/ h5committest
NOTES: - The manifest may still be messed up.
- Cmake fails since the dual binary work needs to be merged with
this repo's CMake externals.
- Adds 'F' suffixes for most float constants.
- A few constants MUST be of type double. These now receive the long
double L suffix and are then cast to double. I do this via a new
H5_DOUBLE() macro which was added to H5private.h.
Fixes: HDFFV-9148
Tested on: h5committest
branch.
Removed the configure option that allows selective disabling of individual
internal filters (fletcher32, shuffle, etc.).
This feature mucked up the code with a lot of #ifdefs, saved very little space,
and was not scalable to a general scheme for library size reduction. We've
decided to remove the feature while we investigate a more general scheme for
decreasing the library size.
Part of: HDFFV-9086
