Configure feature
Description:
Added 'make trace' target.
Solution:
Added tracing to 1.7. This was done automatically in 1.6, but left out
of 1.7 until now (oops!).
Tracing in 1.7 only happens manually, when the user types 'make trace.'
Tracing automatically requires more framework than it's worth.
I also fixed a couple of tracing bugs and ran trace.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Before this checkin, 'gmake check-s' would fail if there was a file in
the current directory named 'check-s'.
This is fixed under gmake (not sure how to fix for other makes).
Solution:
check, progs, install, etc. are what gmake calls "phony" targets,
which means that no file should be created. These targets can be
specified by a line of the form
.PHONY: check progs install ...
Automake adds this line for targets it knows about, but HDF5 has a
lot of custom rules. This checkin adds a .PHONY line for those rules.
I believe that only gmake recognizes the .PHONY line (at least, pmake
doesn't seem to), but a partial solution is better than none.
This error should occur very rarely anyway (the user has to manually
create files with names like 'build-check-s' or '_test').
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Added support for -shlib in h5fc and h5c++.
Made check-install use -shlib when only shared libraries have been installed.
Solution:
h5fc and h5c++ didn't recognize -shlib. Stole code from h5cc to link against
shared libraries.
When static libraries are disabled, the examples Makefiles will automatically
use the -shlib option to link against shared libraries. Thus,
--disable-static and make check-install should work together.
Platforms tested:
heping(disable-static, enable-static, fortran, c++), modi4 (disable-static, fortran, c++, parallel, enable-static)
Bug fix
Description:
Failed parallel tests now cause make to exit with an error.
Solution:
Edited config/conclude.am to throw an error if parallel test programs fail.
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4
Adding comments and code clean-up for code that tests collective irregular selection
Description:
For better maintenance in the future, Add comments to list the number for
(start,count,block,stride) for irregular selection for effective testing
collective chunk IO feature development in the future.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4(heping), mostly comments, no need to test on other platforms.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Changed configure.in to use an environment variable TR to set the path
to the tr utility.
Solution:
There are two kind of tr on Solaris with slightly different syntax.
HDF5's configure relies on the "standard" tr. Traditionally, HDF5ers
have needed to make sure that the "right" tr was found before the
wrong one in their path; now they can use an environment variable.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sol
Misc. update:
Forgot to update release notes. Off to do that now.
Code clean-up for collective regular chunk IO tests.
Description:
Add descriptions for each tests for future maintenance.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Mostly comments, No need to use h5committest.
heping(linux 2.4)
Misc. update:
Makefile bug fix
Description:
Previously, automake didn't output rules to build perform/mpi-perf or
the test/gen_* programs.
Now these can be built by typing 'make mpi-perf' (or 'make foo') or by
configuring with --enable-build-all.
Solution:
Automake doesn't like having rules for programs it doesn't build. Tricked
it by having these programs built "sometimes"--whenever the user enables
--build-all. This should be used mostly for testing and to ensure that
these helper programs compile.
***IMPORTANT***
These programs do *not* currently compile. When --enable-build-all is used
(not the default), gen_new_fill fails because it uses an old API. This is
an existing "bug" that has simply been exposed by this checkin.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
The complex derived datatype test assumed that the fill value would be 0. This is not
the case on all systems.
Solution:
Modified the test to check against a known value in the outbuf array, instead of the fill value.
Platforms tested:
heping and MCR.
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
Fixed typo in a comment. The word "file" was supposed to be "fill." The explanation of
how the complex derived datatype test works is much clearer now.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
minor change.
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
When a parallel test script test fails, make would continue because the
way it was setup inside a for loop. Fixed it by issuing an exit 1 inside
the loop.
There was also a typo error in the newer command comparision that it
must be $${chkname} in order to be valid. Also, the test script itself
was not checked in the newer lists. All fixed.
Platforms tested:
h5committested and also hand tested in heping pp mode.
Repair synchronization bug in the metadata cache in PHDF5
Also repair numerous other bugs that surfaced in testing the
bug fix.
Description:
While operations modifying metadata must be collective, we allow
independant reads. This allows metadata caches on different processes
to adjust to different sizes, and to place the entries on their dirty
lists in different orders. Since only process 0 actually writes
metadata to disk (all other processes thought they did, but the writes
were discarded on the theory that they had to be collective), this made
it possible for another process to modify metadata, flush it, and then
read it back in in its original form (pre-modification) form. The
possibilities for file corruption should be obvious.
Solution:
Make the policy that only process 0 can write to file explicit, and
visible to the metadata caches. Thus only process 0 may flush dirty
entries -- all other caches must retain dirty entries until they are
informed by process 0 that the entries are clean.
Synchronization is handled by counting the bytes of dirty cache entries
created, and then synching up between the caches whenever the sum
exceeds an (eventually user specified) limit. Dirty metadata creation
is consistent across all processes because all operations modifying
metadata must be collective.
This change uncovered may bugs which are repaired in this checkin.
It also required modification of H5HL and H5O to allocate file space
on insertion rather than on flush from cache.
Platforms tested:
H5committest, heping(parallel & serial)
Misc. update:
A bug fix
Description:
MPI_Status_IGNORE is treated as a NULL pointer for mpich 1.2.4 or similar MPI packages.
It caused segmentation fault for MPI derived datatype test.
Solution:
Define MPI_STATUS status,
and pass &status into MPI_File_read and MPI_File_write.
Platforms tested:
too trivial to test.
Misc. update:
Improvement.
Description:
The test may hang if there are system failures that some processors
are not working.
Solution:
Added the ALARM calls to limit all tests be done with the default
alarm time. So, even if a process is hanging, the ALARM signal
would terminate the process.
Platforms tested:
tg-login2 of NCSA.
Misc. update:

Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Added the time command to the make check target to report time usage
of the execute of each test and test scripts. This gives us some idea
how long each test takes and some vague idea it is compute bound or
not.
powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
Change $RUNPARALLEL default setting to allow it being invoked by the
time command.
Platforms tested:

Now compilation flags can be put in H5_*FLAGS and they'll be used when
building hdf5 but not in h5cc.

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Disabled C++ shared libraries for Sun Workshop compiler.
Solution:
This bug only seems to happen when using the -xarch=v9 flag to compile in
64-bit mode, but disabling shared libraries entirely for this compiler is
an easier fix (I don't know how to detect 64 bit mode from the command line).
The framework for disabling shared libraries for other C++ compilers is
in place.
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't
support them.
This allows other compilers to support shared Fortran libraries.
Solution:
Added a conditional, SHARED_FORTRAN_CONDITIONAL, which is true if
Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
Bug fix
Description:
Building with --disable-static seems to have been broken on several platforms.
Fixed this.
Configure will now disable shared libraries automatically when using pgf90
or when building on Cygwin.
Solution:
To avoid errors when using shared libraries with pgf90 (which I had not
realized were compiler-specific), I had manually set convenience libraries
to use the -static linking flag. Apparently, this is not necessary, and
caused these libraries to be created as empty archives when --disable-static
was used.
Also, some libraries were including other libraries, which was not
necessary.
I also fixed code in configure.in to correctly detect whether shared
or static libraries are enabled, and moved code that disables shared libraries
to before libtool is created (rather than editing libtool after the fact).
Despite repeated warnings that only one shared library can be linked at a
time, I have yet to have shared libraries break the linking of tests on
any system. We'll see if the Daily Tests turn up anything.
Platforms tested:
mir (fortran, C++), sleipnir (C++), modi4 (fortran, C++, parallel),
sol (fortran, C++), cygwin
Bug fix.
Description:
Some tests showed the filesize was not as expected. But the error was
intermittent. This was a racing condition as some processes finish
extend_chunked_dataset() sooner than others and return to the main
body which proceeds to call the next test which also uses the same
test data file and alters it. That messes up the "slower" processes
which then see unexpected filesize.
Also, the routine create_chunked_dataset() which creates test data file
actually was executed by all processes. That is wrong.
Solution:
Added a barrier at the end of extend_chunked_dataset to make sure all
processes are done with the test data file before returning.
Changed create_chunked_dataset such that only one process would create
the test data file. The rest does nothing but just wait for it to finish.
Platforms tested:
Tested in TG-NCSA in which the errors were detected.
Misc. update:
Bug fix#281
Description:
Committed a wrong copy in the previous checkin.
Solution:
Checked in the right one and did some code cleanup, rearrangment.
Platforms tested:
heping pp.
Misc. update:
tidy up.
Description:
MPE option created *.clog file whenever it is executed in MPI.
The cleanup of *.clog files were done in individual Makefile.in.
Often, it is forgotten.
Solution:
Moved the cleaning of *.clog files to CHECK_CLEANFILES in commence.am
so that it is applied whenever check-clean is called.
Platforms tested:
heping pp using MPE.
Bug fixes
Description:
This checkin fixes an occasional error on kelgia on sol during distclean.
It also causes test scripts to depend properly on the programs they're
supposed to be testing.
Solution:
The kelgia bug was due to some files being cleaned by automake and manually.
Removed the manual cleaning in src/Makefile.am.
Test script dependencies now need to be specified manually, since the
makefile can't guess what they test from their name. Currently all test
scripts in a given directory have a single list of dependencies--this was
easy and seems to be sufficient.
These dependencies are listed in the SCRIPT_DEPEND variable in the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
Bug #281
Description:
A dataset created in serial mode with H5D_ALLOC_TIME_INCR allocation setting
was not extendible, either explicitly by H5Dextend or implicitly by writing
to unallocated chunks. This was because parallel mode expects the allocation
mode be H5D_ALLOC_TIME_INCR only.
Solution:
Modified library to allocate more space when needed or directed if the
file is opened by parallel mode, independent of what the dataset allocation
mode is.
Platforms tested:
Heping pp.
minor tidy up.
Description:
Changed both test programs and test scripts to use the same suffixes
(.chkexe and .chklog). Changed from .log to .chklog to avoid running
into potential conflicts by other "things" (e.g., config.log).
Tested:
Heping.
bug fix
Description:
The previous version always tests with mpi-IO driver even when mpi-posix driver is set.
Solution:
Add the option to test mpi-posix driver for the first round collective chunk IO test.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64, AIX 5.1, Linux 2.4
Misc. update:
"bug fix"
Description:
The test_mpio_derived_dtype() often hangs when fails. So it was
not run by default to avoid hanging the daily tests or confusing
users. But then new system or new codes in collective chunk fails
while one can't tell for sure if it is because of the complicated
derived type failures or something else.
Solution:
Changed the logic so it is skipped only if it is known that
the complicated MPI derived type does not work. (This is
indicated by macro H5_MPI_COMPLEX_DERIVED_DATATYPE_WORKS NOT
defined.
Platforms tested:
heping pp (where it is tested by default).
Modi4 pp (where it is SKIPPED by default.)
I also forced modi4 to test it and modi4 said it actually
is working and should change the setting of
H5_MPI_COMPLEX_DERIVED_DATATYPE_WORKS to working?!!
Misc. update:
Code cleaning.
Description:
The block of code that is conditioned by the H5_MPI_COMPLEX_DERIVED_DATATYPE_WORKS
and manipulates the return code of test_mpio_derived_dtype, does not really
belong in main. If return code of test_mpio_derived_dtype needs to be
adjusted, it should be done in test_mpio_derived_dtype.
Solution:
Moved that block of code test_mpio_derived_dtype.
Platforms tested:
heping PP.
Misc. update:
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
Modified collective chunk Io test
Description:
One test(collective chunk IO test 4) is no longer needed. Comment out first.
The code should be cleaned up later.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Bug fix and improvement.
Description:
The test output were not displayed for parallel tests.
The serial tests output were always displayed whether the test was
actually ran this time or not.
Solution:
Moved the display of test output inside the target where the actual
tests are run.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping using pp and fortran.
Bug fix and code minor cleanup.
Description:
The attempt to redirect stderr together to the log files were
done in the wrong order such that stderr output goes to where
stdout WAS. Fixed that.
Code minor cleanup--use shell variables to hold the name of the
log file and the test instead of generating them repeatedly. This
makes easier code reading, less crowded and avoid typos.
Only conclude.in is changed. The Makefile.in changes are all
derived from automake.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Makefile feature
Description:
'make check-clean' now cleans *.h5 files created by tests as well as
.log and .chkexe files.
Solution:
check-clean is now a separate target in its own right, which cleans less
than mostlyclean (check-clean < mostlyclean < clean < distclean).
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, modi4 (serial and parallel)
Feature: check-clean target
Description:
'make check-clean' cleans up output files from tests.
Solution:
Tests create foo.chkexe and foo.log files. Scripts create foo.chksh and
foo.logsh files. 'make check-clean' will clean these files up so that
the tests can be re-run.
Also suppressed some not-very-useful output of Makefiles when it would
echo commands.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Configuration feature
Description:
Serial test output is now stored in log files and printed when all tests
in a directory complete, or when a test fails. This should make test output
more readable and useful.
Also made changes to clean up ii_files directories that are created by some
C++ compilers/linkers.
Also fixed a few minor Makefile bugs.
Solution:
When serial tests run, their output is saved in *.log or *.logsh. While
running, tests only print when they begin and when they complete; their
more specific output (from the log file) is printed if the test fails or
when all tests have completed.
Comments welcome.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4 (parallel and serial), copper, shanti
Purpose:
Make collective IO tests work with mpiposix
Description:
Although internally HDF5 is using independent IO for mpiposix driver,
it is still a good test to see whether HDF5 APIs can allow collective IO calls to pass
into mpiposix driver.
Previous tests ignore this test; now add it.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
AIX (copper), too minor to need to test with three platforms.
Misc. update:
Updating phase 2 work of collective IO
Description:
The current collective IO tests cannot test for number of processors bigger than
some values, this change will lift those restriction. However, the test may be slower.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 2.4, AIX 5.1, Linux 2.4 IA64 and IRIX 6.5
(I haven't tested big number of processors with the restriction of the machine)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The ".chksh" file for a test script was being created in the "source"
location rather than the build location. This can cause problems when
multiple builds are running because "slower" machines will see the ".cshsh"
file from faster machines and will not run the test script as they should.
Solution:
Use 'basename' command to strip off the path of the script and create
the ".chksh" file in the build location.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
bug fix.
Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.
Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2. Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".
Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bugs that caused tests to be unable to find testhdf5.sh during
daily tests, and another that broke sol and shanti.
Solution:
When tests are run, their path is ./$testname .
When scripts are run, their path has no leading "./". Fixed.
Sol and shanti don't recognize the -e option for test, but they do know
-f. Fixed.
Also modified release notes.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, heping
Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
bug fix
Description:
check-s and check-p were set as pre-requistics of test. They
would get executed in parallel if parallel make is used. This
could cause problems since serial tests are used to be executed
before parallel tests. It is not known if it is always okay to
run serial and parallel tests in simultantously.
Solution:
Change check-s and check-p as actions of the target test so
that they get executed sequnentially.
Platforms tested:
heping PP.
update.
Description:
TEST_SCRIPT_PARA is not corrected as Makefile.am has.
Ran reconfigure to update Makefile.in.
Platforms tested:
heping PP.
Misc. update:
Added check-s and check-p targets.
Description:
Added check-s and check-p targets to 1.7 branch to match changes to 1.6
branch. Now parallel and serial tests can be run separately.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper
Bug fix.
Description:
The irregular chunk IO tests do not work for processes sizes larger than 3.
Added a check of number of processes and skip the irregular chunk IO
tests if number of processes are larger than 3.
Revamped the tests of collective chunk IO tests too.
Platforms tested:
Tested in mir.
Misc. update:
Description: Removed support for SRB driver
Solution: Removed or modified appropriate files; ran reconfigure
to regenerate Makefile.in and configure files.
Platforms tested: heping and shanti
Misc. update: ran bin/chkmanifest on heping
Support collective IO for irregular selection.

Linux with ChaMPIO
Altix with intel
Misc. update:
Configuration feature
Description:
Different Fortran compilers mangle function names in different ways
(upper case, lower case, adding underscores). To link between
Fortran and C functions, we need to know what a given function's
name is under a given compiler.
Solution:
Use autoconf's FC_WRAPPERS check to determine the Fortran
naming scheme and define the FC_FUNC_ macro to name our
functions (in H5f90proto.h). Removed references to
our old FNAME macro, as well as flags that indicated whether
function names were upper or lower case.
Platforms tested:
mir, pommier, modi4, copper, more
Bug fix
Description:
On some machines, $RUNSERIAL variable needs to be used to run
tests. Set $RUNTESTS (which is used for non-parallel tests) to
be $RUNSERIAL in configure.am.
Also, since I was updating all Makefiles.in anyway, I updated
commence.am to point to autotools installs in AFS instead of
those on heping.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4, copper
Purpose:
"Bug fix"
Description:
Hardcoded Makefiles to use /bin/sh instead of letting configure
detect shell automatically. This is what v1.6 does, and avoids
problems on janus.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, mir
Improvement.
Description:
The derived datatype test often hangs when it fails. This blocks
daily test or automatic build. Run it only when hi verbose mode
is used.
Platforms tested:
Tested in eirene pp.
Misc. update:
Feature - conditional compilation
Description:
SRB file driver and tests are now compiled only when SRB is enabled
(using --with-srb during configure).
Solution:
Added an automake conditional in configure.in, altered Makefiles.am in
src and test directories to depend on that conditional.
This should make a nice example for posterity to add conditionally
compiled sources.
Platforms tested:
heping (only configure change)
Purpose:
Added C++ wrapper for Packet Table API.
Description:
Added macro for high-level C++ library (LIBH5CPP_HL), which changes every
Makefile.in.
Added directories for high-level C++ library (though currently only Packet
Table API is supported).
Added both C++ source and tests.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
Misc. update:
Add detailed comments for MPI derived data type test.
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
heping(Only comments and printf messages were added, no need to test
on all platforms.)
Misc. update:
Provide a way to warn users on the usage of collective IO because of
potential MPI-IO bugs for some platforms.
Also provide a way for users to give us feedback if the vendor has
already fixed the problem so that we can turn off the hard-code macro
in our configure description file.
Description:
See above.
Solution:
Use a simple MPI complicated derived datatype program to check
whether derived data type works for this MPI-IO package.
Print out some messages to warn users if not working as we had expected.
Platforms tested:
AIX 5.1(copper) and Linux 2.4(heping)
Misc. update:
Automake version upgrade
Description:
Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5.
Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5.
Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables
instead of FFLAGS and F9X.
Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work
supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will
be cleaned later).
Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is
processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since
automake no longer allows us to define unused variables.
Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not
used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and
will break otherwise.
Platforms tested:
Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
Feature--to provide a standalone mode for t_mpi.c so that it can
be built outside of PHDF5 environment.
Description:
Move definitions that are common to all parallel test programs
to a new header file called testpar.h.
Leave only Parallel HDF5 tests related definitions in testphdf5.h.
Platforms tested:
heping (pp) and modi4(PP). Copper was down.
Misc. update:
Removed GASS configuration and software packages associated with
it. The following software are no longer configurable.
checking for main in -lcrypto... yes
checking for SSL_get_version in -lssl... yes
checking globus_common.h usability... yes

Platforms tested:
h5committested (but copper was down.) tested in modi4 too.
typo fix and small improvement.
Description:
t_coll_chunk.c:
ccdataset_vrfy() was using a wrong routine name to identify itself.
testphdf5.c:
Add a definition of NFILENAME to be the common dimension size of
FILENAME[] and filenames[][] since they must have the same first

Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
modi4 dies during build with strange errors.
The root cause of these is a two-year-old hack in HDF5's libtool
script that only takes effect on IRIX.
Solution:
Edited the libtool hack (by editing ltmain.sh) to correct a bug in
the hack.
Also made sure that compiler-specific DEFAULT_LIBS are used
when linking.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, sol
Bug fix
Description:
Arabica exhibited strange errors when linker found wrong versions of
header files. This happened because include directories were
given to linker in the wrong order.
Solution:
Move include directories from AM_CFLAGS variable to INCLUDES
variable to put them before CPPFLAGS variable. Trust me, it works.
This bug may also have contributed to strange errors on other platforms
(kelgia?).
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, arabica.
(h5dump broke while building on arabica, but this happened in
a clean checkout, too).
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Parallel builds were breaking in tools/lib
Solution:
talign didn't realize it depended on libh5tools.la because its
dependencies listed the full path (../../tools/lib/libh5tools.la).
Changed this, and made similar changes in a couple of other
directories.
This checkin should also add the --foreign flag to every Makefile.in
Platforms tested:

Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem
Solution:
Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in.
Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in,
configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it
print any warnings.
Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script,
and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping
to regenerate these files correctly.
Platforms tested:
heping sleipnir copper
Bug fix
Description:
Configuration files' timestamps were incorrect.
Solution:
Update Makefiles.in. Also added correct paths to autotools on heping,
so heping build should be able to re-generate configuration files even
if they are still broken.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir
Bug fix
Description:
Dependencies between configure files (aclocal, configure.in, configure,
Makefiles.am and .in) are still causing Makefiles to try to run autotools
during build.
Solution:
Committed all Makefiles.in to update their timestamps.
As a temporary measure, forcibly prevented automake from running
autotools during build by redefining the variables it uses.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (No changes to Makefile content)
Bug fix
Description:
Different compilers use different flags to include Fortran module files
Solution:
Changed boilerplate to use configure variable rather than hardcoded -M flag.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, sol, copper
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
Remove feature
Description:
Retire threaded, balanced binary tree code from HDF5 use. Requiescat in
pace...
Also, regenerate dependencies files.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require full h5committesting (the code is already
disconnected from everything except its tests)
Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++

Misc. update:
Check in testing code for irregular hyperslab selection with multiple chunks.
Description:
For debugging only, will not be tested by h5committest.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (mpich 1.2.6)
Misc. update:
Adding routines to test irrgular hyperslab selection inside one chunk.
Description:
For debugging purpose, tests are turned off now.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
AIX 5.1 and Linux 2.4 with parallel enabled.
Misc. update:
Modifying testing code for derived datatype.
However, this test won't be run in the HDF5 parallel test.
The code is checked in only for debugging purpose.
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4(mpich 1.2.6)
Misc. update:
To test MPI derived datatype
Description:
A very simple irregular hyperslab selection in parallel.
Will not be tested when testing HDF5 library.
Check in only for debugging purpose.
This code will be tested in the future.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
AIX 5.1, Linux 2.4+mpich 1.2.6
Misc. update:
Adding general MPI derived datatype testing code.
Description:
The testing code will not be tested. The purpose of checking in is for
better debugging later. HDF5 routine or daily test should not be aware of this.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Copper(AIX 5.1),
Heping(Linux 2.4 + MPICH 1.2.6).
Misc. update:
Improvement.
Description:
Made all processes print hostname() by default so that it is easier
to spot problems.
Platforms tested:
Tested in copper only. It is a trivial small change.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Relax restrictions on parallel I/O to allow compressed, chunked datasets
to be read in parallel (collective access will be degraded to independent
access, but will retrieve the information still).
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
h5committest
Code clean up
Description:
The tests used to have their own test file names due to
the original program layout. Now that it is using the
common test interface, individual test can be invoked
at will (via -o). There is no need to have different
test filenames. Only requirement is that certain read
tests must follow immediately the corresponding write
test since they use the same file.
I have combined all test file names into just one common
file name. This reduces the printout of test file name,
very beneficial when the test is run by large number of processes.
It makes future code maintenance easier too.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Eirene(PP) only. No h5committest because this is
limited to the parallel tests and the changes are trivial.
Misc. update:
Cleanup
Description:
Remove old hack for H5Eget_auto() which is not needed any more.
Reverse H5E_set_auto_stack(H5EDEFAULT,...) back to previous
code of H5E_set_auto(...). Same for H5E_get_auto_stack.
Platforms tested:
Only tested in Eirene PP as the change is pretty straight
forward.
Misc. update:
Add test to verify the fix of the parallel I/O mode confusion bug.
Description:
While the parallel I/O mode confusion bug is fixed, an automated
regression test for this bug would be useful.
Solution:
Added a modified version of the original bug demonstration program
to testphdf5.
Platforms tested:
copper

Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Tweak recent "forward compatibility" changes to the H5E* API (which allowed
for the old H5E API functions to remain unchanged) by allowing for the error
stack callback function (H5E_auto_t) to also remain unchanged from the 1.6
branch. This required changing the H5E{get|set}_auto routines to have the
old style H5E_auto_t type (which didn't have a stack ID parameter) and the new
H5E{get|set}_auto_stack routines to have a newer "H5E_auto_stack_t" type (which
has a stack ID parameter). This should make the H5E API changes as forwardly
compatible as possible.
One side-affect of this change was that it was impossible to determine if
the current auto error callback was the old style (H5E_auto_t) or the new style
(H5E_auto_stack_t) of callback, so a new API function (H5Eauto_is_stack) was
adde to query this.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
h5committest
Purpose:
Shrink HDF5 parallel test
Description:
Previously the collective chunk IO tests created and opened four HDF5 files;
it turned out that all collective chunk IO tests can use one file for testing.
Solution:
To use one file for all collective chunk IO tests with trunc option to be set in H5Fcreate.
Platforms tested:
copper(no need to use h5committest)
Misc. update:
Description: Restore 6 old error API functions back to the library to be backward
compatible with v1.6. They are H5Epush, H5Eprint, H5Ewalk, H5Eclear, H5Eset_auto,
H5Eget_auto. These functions do not have error stack as parameter.
Solution: Internally, these functions use default error stack.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Text display change
Description:
Changed the test names to much shorter strings for easier
use.
Platforms tested:
No h5committed test. Only test parallel in eirene.
Misc. update:
Fix of bug/feature which caused testphdf5 to fail when run with more than
32 processes. This fix was originally applied to the 1.6 branch, and is
now ported to the 1.7 branch.
Description:
32 process limit was a hard coded constant.
Solution:
Modified most of the routines in t_mdset.c to adapt dynamically to
the current number of processes. In passing, I also tidied up a
few memory leaks.
Note that one new routine had been added to the 1.7 version of
t_mdset.c since the 1.6/1.7 split. I applied changes to this
routine as well.
Platforms tested:
h5committested
Tested on eirene with 4 and 8 processes. Couldn't go higher.
I would have like to repeat my 32 - 64 process tests on copper,
but was unable to do so as I don't have access to cu12t at
present. Perhaps I will be able to manage this in the next
few days. However, Albert wanted these changes checked in to
the 1.7 branch so he could work with them.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup.
Removed bunch of old options (r,w,v,i,b,e) that are no longer valid
or useful after adopting the general test interface. Moved the test
of sizeof MPI_Offset into the test routine itself.
Platforms tested:
Eirene and Sol using pp mode.
bug fix.
Description:
The test routines only print error messages but not all of them
return number of errors detected back to the main routine which
always exit with a 0 status. Thus make or shell commands could
not detect there were errors.
Solution:
Changed the test routines to return appropriate number of
errors to main routine which in turn exit with the appropriate
exit code if errors found.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Sol and eirene (pp).
