Description: H5Iis_valid function added. This function checks if the id is
valid (i.e. it is currently registered and visible to the application), and
returns TRUE if it is valid, or FALSE otherwise. It should never return an
error.
Tested: kagiso, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
Bug fix
Description:
Retrieving an object's name could fail (in various ways) under certain
circumstances (mostly having to do with mounted files).
Solution:
Re-write & simplify "get object name" code to fix error in a better way
than adding yet another hack to the previous pile of hacks... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up
to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created
with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not
be able to read your old files!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
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
Bug fix
Description:
tid.c is a test for user-defined hid_t's. It should be part of the
testhdf5 tests, but was not being run.
It also had a couple of minor bugs.
Solution:
Added id test to testhdf5 and fixed bugs.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix
Description:
Fix a typo in my last checkin. Should make some compilers happier
about "operand types."
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, heping, kelgia
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Calling H5Iobject_verify on an invalid type of ID (e.g., H5I_BADID) triggers
an assert.
Solution:
Test for this condition and return an error instead of an assert.
Added tests for this case.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (minor change)
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up a bunch of warnings and bring new code better inline with current
library coding practice.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The "shared" raw B-tree node can get freed before all the B-tree nodes
had been flushed out to disk and released by the cache.
Solution:
Implement a simple reference counting wrapper for objects in the library
and use it to hold the shared raw B-tree nodes so they aren't freed before all
references to them in memory are released.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
IRIX64 6.5 (modei4)
Purpose:
Needed to change the type of a variable in tid.c from int to hsize_t to
accomodate the change in H5Inmembers.
Description:
I lied... this is the last commit. Really, it is.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Small H5I API changes.
Description:
Changed public version of H5Inmembers to return the number of IDs in a
type by reference. This allows the user to differentiate between the
case when H5Inmembers has an error and when the ID type is just empty.
Added a new API function, H5Itype_exists, which allows the user to
find out whether an ID type exists or not, without throwing an error.

Copper
