Keeping up with the Jones's
Description:
Updated to latest version of the config.guess and config.sub scripts from
the GNU ftp site, even though the copies in this branch of the library
are OK with the new compiler on the Linux box.
Platforms tested:
Linux (eirene) & FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
* 2000-11-10 Robb Matzke <matzke@llnl.gov> (H5FD_close)
Removed code that resets the H5FD_t
file structure to zero because that struct has already been
freed. This fixes a core dump on some platforms.
Updated for new array datatypes.
Description:
I missed these tools earlier when I wasn't compiling with HDF4...
Solution:
Updated them (correctly, I hope) to use the new array datatype instead of
compound datatype array fields.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Added new function.
Description:
It's often convenient to query the class of a compound datatype's member
to determine if it's an array and the previous way required you to open
the member type to query it's class.
Solution:
Added new H5Tget_member_class function to directly ask for the member type's
class.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
New Feature
Description:
Added array datatype tests to the regression tests. These datatype
combinations are tested currently:
1-D array of atomic datatypes
3-D array of atomic datatypes
array of array of atomic datatypes
array of compound of atomic datatypes
array of compound of array datatypes
array of VL of atomic datatypes
array of VL of array datatypes
Also added a test to verify that the older style compound datatype with
array fields works correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
New Feature
Description:
Added array datatype to library. See documentation at:
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/planning/DP/ArrayType.html
for complete details on the impact to the library.
Solution:
Changes to the base library include removing the ability of compound
datatype fields to be an array (they can use an array type for the field,
to duplicate the functionality) and adding in the new array datatype
everywhere appropriate. (I hope :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Recoding of VL dumping.
Description:
I'm using hyperslabs to select the variable length data. I don't
have any tests which I've checked in just yet. I'll create those
later.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
add testfiles for h4toh5 converter
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
Purpose:
check in beta release h4toh5 converter
Description:
1. add copy right and other comments to all .h and .c files
2. fix bugs on sds unlimited dimension, hdf5 dimensional scale attribute and vdata translating
from h4 to h5.
Solution:
2.
1) for sds with unlimited dimension to be converted into extensible hdf5 dataset,
on hdf5 side, has to set a default chunk size even though the corresponding hdf4 file is not
chunked.
2) in this version, if sds object doesn't have dimensional scale data, we will not show
the default hdf4 dimensional name ("fakedim0", etc.) in the new hdf5 dimensional scale
name attribute.
3) fix a bug transferring vdata of which the field includes a character array. Make it correctly transfer into the corresponding hdf5 compound data type.
Platforms tested:
eirene,arabica,baldric,hawkwind,paz,gondolin on new set of hdf4 test files.
Purpose:
Adding more expected files for testing h4toh5 converter
These test files include hdf5 files that are expected converted from hdf4 files for various vdata
and vgroup cases.
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
eirene,arabica,hawkwind,paz
Purpose:
Add testing files for h4toh5 converter
Two more files for testing native float data type sds objects

Solution:
Platforms tested:
arabica,eirene,hawkwind,paz
Purpose:
Bugfix
Description:
The stream_test program reported an error under Linux SMP
for testing the Stream VFD although everything seemed to be fine.
Solution:
The sender and receiver process which are forked by main()
called return(retcode) at exit which implies closing open file descriptors.
Since these are shared this caused a SEGFAULT in either the sender
or the receiver when exiting.
Replacing return() by _exit() is the right way to terminate the forked
processes in this case.
Platforms tested:
Linux SMP (eirene)
Purpose:
Bugfix
Description:
Rename the [H5_]HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKLEN_T into [H5_]HAVE_SOCKLEN_T.
Solution:
As pointed out by Bill the socklen_t type isn't a structure if
is it defined by the system headers.
So we should better take out the _STRUCT_ from the defines.
Platforms tested:
Purpose:
Adding expected files for h4toh5 converter
two test files for annotation

Purpose:
Add a h4toh5 converter in the INSTALL file
Description:
Add a h4toh5 converter in the INSTALL file
Solution:
add h4toh5 parallel with h5toh4 in the specification of including hdf4 lib in the configure.
Platforms tested:
Purpose:
Bugfix
Description:
The socklen_t was hardcoded to be defined as int on architectures
other than Linux and SUN (Solaris).
Now it turned out that Solaris isn't consistent in this manner.
Versions earlier than 2.7 do not define this type.
Solution:
Check at configure time whether the socklen_t type is defined
by the system header includes. If not than this type is defined
to be 'int'.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7
Linux
IRIX64
Windows NT (command line configure with both cl abd gcc)
Purpose:
Bugfix
Description:
Added defines for HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H, HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H, and HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKLENT_T.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7
IRIX64
Linux
Windows NT (command line configure with gcc and cl)
Purpose:
Bugfix
Description:
Detect whether the 'struct socklen_t' type is defined in the
system include header files.
Solution:
Added an AC_TRY_COMPILE test for 'struct socklen_t' to the configure
script. This test is only executed if the Stream VFD is configured.
Also added detection of <sys/types.h> and <sys/socket.h> system
header files.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7
IRIX64
Linux
Windows NT (command line configure with gcc and cl)
Buglet
Description:
Wasn't picking up specified directories for the run-time linking
stuff that libtools does.
Solution:
There was some confusion about how the regex stuff works with
scripts. It's not `.*' for any character by `*'...Fixed.
Platforms tested:
Arabica
Purpose:
Bug fix.
Description:
The names of some entries did not correspond with the names in the
FUNC_ENTER macro. This would cause inaccuracies during Pablo tracing.
Solution:
The names were changed in FUNC_ENTER to agree with the entry names.
Platforms tested:
Solaris, Irix, AIX, HP Vclass
Purpose:
This fixes a bug.
Description:
With the previous version, the Pablo version of the library would not
build.
Solution:
A listing of all of the files in the src directory was inserted and
the library depends on their object files as well as the other .c and
.f files in the pablo directory.
Platforms tested:
Irix, Solaris, HP Vclass, AIX
Purpose:
New feature
Description:
Added F90 flags to support h5glink_f subroutine
H5G_LINK_ERROR_F
H5G_LINK_HARD_F
H5G_LINK_SOFT_F
Platforms tested:
Linux (eirene)
Purpose:
Fix typos in these files.
Description:
In the functions H5Pset_apl_xxx in these files, the parameters of
FUNC_ENTER do not match the function names. So changed them back
to function names.
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:
No test has been done because these are all typos, no effect on
program.
