h5repack new features
Description:
added debugging functions and a hard link generated dataset for the test suite
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.7
IRIX
Misc. update:
cvs checkout often included empty directories the contents of which
are no longer needed.
Added -P to cvs command to prune them.
Platforms tested:
no h5committest which does not test snaptest.
Bug fix
Description:
Attributes which were created with scalar dataspaces were reporting their
dataspace as a simple dataspace when queried later.
Solution:
Fix the dataspace handling code when reading in the attribute message from
the file to set the extent type correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Fix problems building on Debian Linux when Intel's "ecc" compiler is
not available.
Platforms tested:
Eyeballed - very trivial patch from user.
Bug fix.
Description:
Using a selection offset with hyperslab selections in chunked datasets
was getting into an infinite loop and hanging the application.
Solution:
Apply the selection offset to the hyperslab selection properly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w & w/o parallel
h5committest
cleanup.
Description:
Removed the old command that parses setenv2 and setenv3 which are
replaced by setenvN.
Platforms tested:
No h5committest since it does not test this script.
Pretty sure it works.
Bug fix/code cleanup
Description:
Make H5Pclose_class() decrement the ID's reference count to close a generic
property class ID, which allows the new H5I routines to work correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Fix H5MM_malloc() and H5MM_calloc() routines to use new FUNC_ENTER macros.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Clean up a few allocations of zero-sized blocks that were detected with
the new free-list assertions.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w & w/o parallel
too minor to require h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Add more assertions to detect attempted allocations of zero-sized blocks.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w & w/o parallel
too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Clean up a couple more 1.6 compat bugs that showed up when the library
was compiled with parallel support.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel & 1.6 compat
config not tested with h5committest
Bug fix/code cleanup
Description:
When an error occurs, assume that it will be in the "real" output file and
use that to display the diff against.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up compiler warnings, especially the 'FUNC' variable not used which
comes out in production mode.
Solution:
Had to add a new FUNC_ENTER_NOAPI_NOINIT_NOFUNC macro for those non-API
functions which don't need the 'FUNC' variable defined. (This will be _so_
much easier when C99 is standard on all our supposed platforms, since it has a
__FUNC__ macro... )
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
too minor for h5committest (although there were lots of files changed, the
change was minor in each one)
Bug fix
Description:
Make a copy of the index value for H5Giterate and use that instead of
dereferencing the index pointer.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
too minor to need h5committest
code clean, bug fix
Description:
the attributes of the root group were not being compared
removed compiler warnings on IRIX and solaris
Solution:
added a special function to compare the attributes of the root group
Platforms tested:
linux
IRIX 6.5
solaris 2.7
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
sleipnir was complaining about a missing header declaration
Solution:
added the include
Platforms tested:
linux (small)
Misc. update:
h5diff new features
Description:
added comparison for attributes
adeded comparison for all dataset datatypes
added tests for the new features
changed the output format
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 5.7
IRIX 6.5 (64)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Handle denormalized floating-point values in a more general way that
uses a different 'epsilon' for determining if two values are "close enough"
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Pittsburgh Alpha Cluster (lemieux.psc.edu)
Update DEC compiler support
Description:
Updated DEC/Compaq compiler detection to handle DEC->Compaq switchover
in compiler version string.
Also, copied v5.x compiler flags to V6.x compiler flags and included the
-ieee and -misalign flags necessary for correct floating-point support.
Platforms tested:
Pittsburgh Alpha Cluster (lemieux.psc.edu)
Bug fix
Description:
C++ compiler was choking on passing a (hsize_t *) to a function which wants
a (uint8_t *).
Solution:
Cast the (hsize_t *) to a (uint8_t *)... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Configuration untested by h5committest
Omnibus floating-point bug fix changes
Description:
There are a number of problems in the floating-point conversion code that
were exposed by Ray's recent int<->float checkin:
- The 'my_isnan' code in test/dtypes.c was broken and would always return
true. The meant that the actual values in the float<->float conversion
tests were _never_ checked, hiding the other bugs included in this
checkin.
- A recent change I made to the type conversion code used "FLT_MIN" instead
of "-FLT_MAX" for the most negative 'float' value for the double->float
conversion, which meant that any the negative number that was converted
from a double to a float would have been mapped to zero, essentially.
- A change that Robb appeared to have made ~2.5 years ago to the "generic"
float->float conversion routine appears to be incorrect and I've backed
it out.
- Floating-point conversions on SGI's which converted denormalized values
would be mapped to zero instead of being propertly preserved in the new
type. This was addressed by an SGI-specific system call to prevent the
behavior.
Solution:
Described above, generally.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Misc. update:
release_docs/RELEASE update forthcoming...
