Fix for Bug1975 h5diff - support recursive comparison on group when specified as an object
Description:
Compare member objects and groups recursively when two files or groups are specified to be compared. Support parallel diff and handling symbolic links accordingly.
Tested:
jam, amani, heiwa
Corrected use/name of source folder aliases.
Duplicated FindMPI.cmake so that non-c++ compiler is found first (recommemded commands did not work).
Tested: local linux with mpich
Problem: some launching command like yod (and sometimes mpirun), do not pass
back the exit code of the executables back to the shell. It always returns 0
if it can launch the executable. This cause tests that expect non-zero exit
code to fail incorrectly.
Short term Solution:
Added the feature that if $RUNSERIAL_NOEXITCODE is defined, do not
test conditions that rely on non-zero exit code.
Tests:
dove-linux using RUNSERIAL=thgyod to see the failures and using
$RUNSERIAL_NOEXITCODE=yes to bypass the errors.
Also h5committested.
Rename '--follow-links' to '--follow-symlinks'
Description:
The '--follow-links' option is to follow symbolic links (soft and external).
Make the name more intuitive and specific to the feature.
Tested:
jam, amani and linew
Enable tools lib to be built as a dll on windows. Added two get/set functions for progname and d_status.
Also add windows import/export declarations to functions.
Updated error_mesg() and warn_mesg() to remove progname argument and use get functions
Tested:
Windows, linux
Improve configure's large-file support control.
Description:
Modified configure to now attempt to add defines necessary for
supporting largefiles on all systems, instead of solely on linux. This
is in response to user requests to enable largefile support on Solaris
by default, as well as to give extra control on AIX (instead of just
jamming the necessary flag into the config files).
The old --enable-linux-lfs flag has been removed in favor of the
--enable-largefile flag (enabled by default), which can be used on all
platforms.
On systems where large files cannot be supported in this manner,
configure will report as such.
Tested:
h5committest
AIX (NCSA's blue_print machine)
duty, liberty, and linew.
Autotool Upgrade / Libtool Bug Fix
Description:
Updated autotools referenced in bin/reconfigure as follows:
Autoconf 2.64 --> Autoconf 2.65
Automake 1.11 --> Automake 1.11.1
Libtool 2.2.6a --> Libtool 2.2.6b-mcg
The referenced libtool version is a custom version of 2.2.6b. It
has been tweaked to fix a bug in libtool that occurs
when using PGI 10.0 compilers. A check incorrectly categorizes
the C++ compiler as version 1.0 instead of 10.0, and the link
line is subsequently set up incorrectly and fails to compile.
A patch has been made available and will be included in the next
release of libtool, but in the meantime I've applied the patch to a custom
installation as indicated above. This bin/reconfigure now references
the custom installation, and the resulting configure script will correctly
categorize the PGI 10.0 C++ compiler.
Ran bin/reconfigure to regenerate configure and makefiles.
Tested:
jam and amani with PGI 10.0 compilers.

bugzilla 1754: h5diff: support comparing through links.
Description:
Fix incorrect (or hanging) behavior in parallel mode when specifying
invalid combination of command options.
(ex: -v and -q , --no-dangling-links without --follow-links)
Add relate test case
Update h5diffgentest.c due to add test files this and previous time
Note:

bugzilla 1754: h5diff: support comparing through links.
(original check-in svn revision #18164)
Description:
fix the hang issue in parallel mode when compare external-link.
add --no-dangling-links option.
add test cases (#450-#459) relate to the new option.
improve test script to check exit code.
update --help relate to the new options.
correct some indentations.
Tested:
h5committest (jam, amani and linew)
They are external-link test cases with following link option.
The related code was checked in as svn #18164 and #18165 to support follwing
links for h5diff.
The test cases will be added back when find solution for parallel mode.
Tested on Jam
Take care of test case fail for h5repack from checkin (r18164)
Description:
Previous checkin didn't allow h5diff to return succeed when a link's
target object doesn't exist. Changed it to succeed with warning.
(Need to discuss related feature)
Tested on Jam
Add test cases for h5diff check-in (svn revision #18164).
Description:
This test cases are for testing comparing through various link combinations
relate to bugzilla report 1754.
Also improved the test script to handle external link cases and
simplified to use single line instead of double for each test cases.
Tested on Jam
Add a feature to compare through links. Relate to bugzilla report 1754.
Description:
Currently, h5diff command only compares the name(path) of target object
not the actual data. With this feature, h5diff will go through the link(s)
and figure out the actual object at the end of the link and compare data
if exist. Internally we have hard-link, soft-link, external-link (as part
of user_defined-link). This feature will provide a user transparent
experience when comparing link objects as the user can specify any of
those 3 type of links to be compared in any combination.
Tested on Jam.
Additional fix relted to the fix of bug1672.
Description:
The fix of bug1672 caused some changes of output which required modifying
some test cases. After some discussion, restoring the changes of the test
cases was decided. After many experiments for the solution, this fix was
made so the code which improved performance can stay.
Tested on Jam.
The mixed use of RUNTEST (original) and RUNTESTS (new) caused
confusion. E.g., the timings in test/ was still using the old
$RUNTEST. It made more sense to use $RUNTEST which is used
by the dejagnu feature of automake. So, I changed all
$RUNTEST or $RUNTESTS to $RUNEXEC.
config/commence.am & config/conclude.am are the two files
that got changes. Also fixed an error in test/Makefile.am.
The rest are changed by bin/reconfigure.
Tested: h5committested.
Fix Bug1672 - Display garbage value on LE machine for BE data.
Description:
Casuing by calling diff_dataset twice when -r or no option was given.
Change to call it once which fix the problem.
It also improves the performance. (diffing time in half)
According further test, it also occurred on BE machine as well and it
seems occruing only with the BE data attached to Bugzilla.
Don't know how the file was created. Anyway this fix will prevent
from diffing with garbage values in similiar potential case.
Tested on:
linux32 (jam) , linux64 (almani), solaris (linew)
CFLAGS overhaul
Description:
Modified the way configure handles CFLAGS.
(note: all changes also apply to FCFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS).
1. The configure process will now always preserve a user's CFLAGS
environment variable setup. Any additional flags necessary for compilation
added at configure time will be passed into the Makefiles as AM_CFLAGS,
which is an automake construct to be used in addition to CFLAGS.
This will allow a user to have the final say, as CFLAGS will always appear
later in the compile line than AM_CFLAGS. Additionally, setting CFLAGS
during make will no longer completely erase all flags set by configure,
since they're maintained in AM_CFLAGS.
2. Additionally, where possible, flags previously being assigned directly
into CFLAGS (and thus propagating into h5cc) have now been redirected into
H5_CFLAGS, so they're used ONLY for compiling hdf5, and not embedded into
the h5cc wrapper script as well.
*Note that H5_CFLAGS ultimately is assigned into AM_CFLAGS for use in the
Makefiles. Complete description of changes and build process will be
included in a Configure Document that Elena and I are working on.
3. Removed unsupported config files. This includes:
config/dec-osf*
config/hpux11.00
config/irix5.x
config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x
config/rs6000-ibm-aix5.x
config/unicos*
4. Modified configure summary to display additional values. Specifically,
appropriate AM_* variables are being shown, as well as H5_FCFLAGS and
H5_CXXFLAGS, which were for some reason not already present.
Tested:
- H5committest
- Tested on all THG / NCSA machines, using several combinations of the more
prominent configure options (c++, fortran, szip, threadsafe, parallel,
et cetera). (Thanks to Quincey for rysnc testing setup!)
- With regards to new automated testing, anything *necessary* for
compilation will be caught by the daily tests as it stands now. (i.e.,
if LDFLAGS is not properly set when szip is used, linking will fail).
Additionally, with regards to which flags get into h5cc, if any
*necessary* flags have been improperly removed, then daily tests should
fail during make installcheck. Additional machine-specific desired
behaviors and/or checks may have to be set up separately within the
daily tests, so this is something to work on.
The ph5diff tests printout incorrectly reporting they are running
h5diff when it actually is running ph5diff.
Fixed.
Tested: Jam (parallel), linew (serial)
No H5committest since it is a shell script and Jam tests both
serial and parallel h5diff for Linux while Linew tests Big
endian platform.
" Use "--use-system-epsilon" for system EPSILON
" Use "-p" or "-d" for whatever user's choice of epsilon
" Use "-p 0" or "-d 0" for strict equality (same as default)
Updating autotools
Description:
Installed new autotools and used them to reconfigure HDF5.
- Automake upgraded to 1.11
- Autoconf upgraded to 2.64
- bin/reconfigure script edited to use new versions (on jam), and
run to generate new configure script and Makefile.in's.
- configure.in script edited to add "_cv_" to all AC_CACHE_VAL strings
(in order to comply with new autoconf standard).
Tested:
Tested on machines jam, smirom, liberty, linew.
Tested w/ features c++, fortran, parallel.
Tested w/ compilers gcc, pgcc, icc.
Further testing via Daily Tests should catch any other outliers. Upon
passing DT's, I'll propogate the new tools into 1.8, hdf4, et cetera.
Fix BZ #1583
Description:
The --enable-static-exec flag was broken. Configure was adding the
-all-static linker flag to an environment variable which was subsequently
never used. (looks like it was used in 1.6 Makefile.ins, but never
moved to 1.8's Makefile.ams when we added automake support).
To fix, I've added this environment varibale to the link lines of all the
tools. Now, when --enable-static-exec is invoked, it will correctly
generate statically linked executables in the installed bin directory.
Tested:
I've tested manually to ensure that the generated execs are static when
the flag is used and dynamic when not. I've also tested when szip is
used, as this was a use case mentioned in the bug report.
Also: ran full tests with make check on jam and smirom for good measure.
this error
home/hdftest/snapshots-hdf5/current/tools/lib/h5tools_ref.c:126: undefined reference to `d_status'
happens because the original developer of h5tools_ref.c declared these 2 variables in that source file
extern char *progname;
extern int d_status;
this means that all programs that use this source file (typically all tools) will have to define these 2 variables, even if they are *not* used.
examples
const char *progname = "h5jam";
int d_status = EXIT_SUCCESS;
"progname" is usually used to print the program name in the usage, and "d_status" is just a return value of the tool, usually.
I was wondering about removing these 2 declarations from h5tools_ref.c
extern char *progname;
extern int d_status;
and define those variables on each tool if they are only needed (it seems to me that only h5ls and h5dump actually "need" them)
tested: smirom parallel
The file used for input is located in the common source tools for testfiles, in tools/testfiles
Modified the h5repack shell script to read files from this location (h5repack reads its input files from a dedicated testfiles location in h5repack/testfiles)
Changed the h5diff open file call to use h5tools_fopen, so that it can open all file drivers
Tested: windows, linux, solaris
- Updated bin/reconfigure to use latest version of automake (1.10.2).
Re-generated Makefile.in's by running bin/reconfigure.
- Added libtool version numbers to c++, fortran, hl, hl c++, and hl fortran
libraries.
Tested:
jam, liberty, smirom
ISSUE : the tools use the following formula to read by hyperslabs: hyperslab_size[i] = MIN( dim_size[i], H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE / datum_size) where H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE is a constant defined of 1024K. This is OK as long as the datum_size does not exceed 1024K, otherwise we have a hyperslab size of 0 (since 1024K/(greater than 1024K) = 0). This affects h5dump. h5repack, h5diff
SOLUTION: add a check for a 0 size and define as 1 if so.
TEST FOR H5DUMP: Defined a case in the h5dump test generator program of such a type (an array type of doubles with a large array dimension, that was the case the user reported). Since the written file commited in svn would be around 1024K, opted for not writing the data (the part of the code where the hyperslab is defined is executed, since h5dump always reads the files). Defined a macro WRITE_ARRAY to enable such writing if needed. Added a run on the h5dump shell script. Added 2 new files to svn: tools/testfiles/tarray8.ddl, tools/testfiles/tarray8.h5. NOTE: while doing this I thought of adding this dataset case to an existing file, but that would add the large array output to those files (the ddls). The issue is that the file list is increasing.
TEST FOR H5DIFF: for h5diff the check for reading by hyperslabs is H5TOOLS_MALLOCSIZE (128 * H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE) or 128 Mb. This makes it not possible to add such a file to svn, so used the same method as h5dump (only write the dataset if WRITE_ARRAY is defined). As opposed to h5dump, the hyperslab code is NOT executed when the dataset is empty (dataset is not read). Added the new dataset to existing files and shell run (tools/h5diff/testfiles/h5diff_dset1.h5 and tools/h5diff/testfiles/h5diff_dset2.h5 and output in tools/h5diff/testfiles/h5diff_80.txt).
TEST FOR H5REPACK: similar issue as h5diff with the difference that the hyperslab code is run. Added a run to the shell script (with a filter, otherwise the code uses H5Ocopy).
tested: linux (h5commitest failed , apparently it did not detect the code changes in /tools/lib that fix the bug: the error in an assertion in the hyperslab of 0. I am sure that making h5ccomitest --distclean will detect the new code , but don't want to wait more 3 hours :-) )
Bug Fix
Description:
Fixing BZ #1381. The --includedir=DIR configure option, which is used
to specify the installation location of C header files, did not work
correctly as the path was hard-coded in config/commence.am. I'm presuming
this is because an older version of automake didn't know where to put
c header files. In any case, removing this line now defaults the includedir
to the same directory that it is currently hard-coded to, and also fixes
the configure flag to allow customization of this value.
Tested:
jam, liberty
Remove another call to H5E_clear_stack() from within the library.
Clean up lots of compiler warnings.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.5.6 (amazon)
(followup on other platforms forthcoming)
the way h5ls prints types, it starts searching for NATIVE types first. One solution would be h5ls not to detect these native types, using for example the same print datatype function that h5dump does, that would make the output look the same on all platforms ("32-bit little-endian integer" would be printed instead). Drawback, this "native" information would not be available. Other solution is to have not one but 2 expected outputs and make the shell script detect the endianess and compare with one output or other
tested: h5committest
