Purpose:
Removed file
Description:
all_lang.zip was intended to be a copy of all.zip including other
language APIs, such as Fortran and C++. Yet, we later decided to
add these APIs to all.zip directly and disable them by default; the
user will enable his/her choice. Thus, this file is no longer needed.
Platforms tested:
None
Purpose:
rearrange projects, erase more warnings, faster compiling
fix a small bug in fortran building
Description:
Previously every testing project includes h5test.c to deal with
test initialization and clean up etc. So h5test.c is compiled dozens of
times for each HDF5 building. It slows down the compiling time and
shows more warnings(dozens of times warnings that h5test.c generates).
Solution:
Make library called libtest.lib and libtestD.lib and connect this library
with testing projects. In this way compiling time is shorter and warnings are reduced.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Note: HDF5 fortran debug dll test failed most tests. From the observation,
I suspect it is due to visual fortran compiler. Since debug dll passed all
in VS compiler.
Purpose:
Removing unnecessary file from all.zip
Description:
The file H5config.h.in got into all.zip somehow at some point.
When all.zip is being unzipped, an attempt to replace a newer
H5config.h.in by this file was made. I confirmed this with
Kent and removed it.
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000
Purpose:
Adding C++ support on windows
Description:
Added both static and DLL versions of the C++ API library and tests
to all.zip. The C++ API is disabled, however, and will need to be
enabled by the user.
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000
Purpose:
check code warrior changes at HDF5 branch
Description:
1. add a maro at H5config.h and H5pubconf.h to maintain the correct printf
output in code warrior.
2. update code warrior project changes.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
tested by pedro on windows ?
Purpose:
a bug fix for release dll
Description:
change the project setting for release dll from single-threaded to
multithreaded DLL seems to make all tests pass.
For DLL testing, it should be set to multithreaded DLL anyway.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
[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:
Adding new zip file for windows
Description:
Added C++ API library and tests to "all" in this new zip file.
The C++ API is disabled, however, and will need to be enabled
by the user.
Platforms tested:
Windows 98
Purpose:
Update H5pubconf.h and H5config.h on windows platform. Would like to be checked by c++ API and see whether the newly checking-in all.zip works.
Description:
H5config.h and H5pubconf.h are all rearranged. Comments have not been added to H5pubconf.h yet. Will be done later.
Solution:
Most auto-generated system specified constants have been manually tuned on windows platforms. Some of them are still unknown. Will wait later.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Purpose:
bug fix
HDF5 debug dll test failed when using all_withf90.zip.
Description:
various tests failed when using all_withf90.zip
with the same project setting, all tests passed when using all.zip(C test).
Suspect Digital fortran compiler problem.
Solution:
Find one strange warning message:
LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "msvcrt.lib" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
Following the instruction, ignore msvcrt.lib when linking with hdf5dll.
All tests passed.
Don't know the exact reason since msvcrt.lib is kind of required for DLL.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Purpose:
Fixed bugs
Description:
1. tconfig.c finds size of long double and size of off_t are not correct on windows 2000.
Size of long double(8) at the manually hacked H5config.h on windows represents windows NT 4.0.
On windows 2000, it is set to 12. Now H5config.h is fixed to pass windows 2000, but will fail on NT4.0O. This problem needs to be addressed.
2. modify testhdf5 and testhdf5sll projects to fit in the new test.
3. find a release dll bug(cause tattr test failed), later the bug is gone after install VS 6.0 service pack 5. Highly suspect it is a compiler bug.
Solution:
See above.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Purpose:
1. rearrange project settings to be consistent with UNIX platforms
2. fix bugs on H5Tinit.c and h5pubconf.h windows version.
Description:
1. overhead, iopipe and chunk testings are moved to perform directory on UNIX platforms
rearrange windows project settings to reflect the changes
2. H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB_H is defined in h5pubconf.h, it is only used in the iopipe test.
In iopipe.c, H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB is used to get the current time before opening HDF5 file.
This constant is never defined at h5pubconf.h. So iopipe test failed on windows.
3. intn is still used in windows version H5Tinit.c.
4. redefine H5_inline at h5pubconf.h. That will generate warnings like:
..\..\src\H5private.h(150) : warning C4005: 'H5_inline' : macro redefinition ..\..\src\h5pubconf.h(8) : see previous definition of 'H5_inline'
Solution:
1. Rearrange chunk.c,iopipe.c and overhead.c files in project setting.
2. In order not to affect other platform(linux also defines H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB_H).
in windows version h5pubconf.h change H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB_H into H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB.
Now H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB is only used by windows platform, iopipe test runs okay.
3. change intn into int.
4. undefine H5_inline on windows version of h5pubconf.h
Platforms tested:
windows 2000(NT5.0) and windows 98.
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
Source directory has been rearranged. INSTALL*, HISTORY.txt and RELEASE.txt were moved to the release_docs directory. *.zip files were moved to the windows directory. README file was renamed to README.txt MANIFEST was updated to reflect those changes.
