that all HDF5 API functions are protected by a mutex lock. Basically,
serialized all API calls. To use it, use
configure --enable-threadsafe --with-pthread
** src/H5Tconv.c
** src/H5Tpkg.h
** src/H5Tpublic.h
The H5T_conv_struct_opt() function had a design flaw -- it
didn't keep information about the stride to use to step
through the temporary/background-value buffer and thus nested
invocations would clobber each other's temp buffers. This was
fixed by splitting the `stride' argument into `buf_stride' and
`bkg_stride' arguments for all the conversion functions. THIS
IS AN API CHANGE, but users will get a compiler warning when
they pass their conversion function pointer to H5Tregister().
** src/H5T.c
** src/H5Tprivate.h
Added a bkg_stride argument to the H5T_convert() definition in
order to fix a bug related to the optimized compound datatype
conversion function.
** src/H5T.c
** src/H5A.c
** src/H5D.c
** src/H5Ofill.c
** src/H5P.c
Added bkg_stride=0 argument to the H5T_convert() calls.
** test/dtypes.c
Added a test for the H5T_conv_struct_opt() bug fixed above.
** src/H5FL.c
The H5FL_term() function should return non-zero even when it
couldn't free all the free lists do to their being used by
some other package. When that other package terminates it
will return non-zero, causing H5FL_term() to be called
again. This fixes some of the `infinite loop closing library'
messages.
** tools/pdb2hdf
Uses print_version() instead of doing that itself.
** src/H5Ppublic.h
Renamed H5Pget_gc_reference() declaration to make it match the
definition.
** src/H5FDlog.c
Added API tracing macros.
Removed `const' qualifier from a `char*' member of a struct
which was allocated on the heap.
** src/H5TB.c
Added curly braces to a couple deeply-nested `if' statements
to make them clearer and to shut up the increadibly stupid and
just plain incorrect gcc warning about ambiguous `else'.
** test/titerate.c
Removed incomplete initialization in favor of memset() for one
auto variable to stop compiler warnings.
** tools/Depencencies
Regenerated to remove references to h5dumputil.c
was also a subtle bug in the previous code. A valid size of 16K would
have been rejected since it was checking for an invalid number. The
scheme that replaces it relies on the fact that powers of two and only
powers of two have 1 bit set in binary.
conditional compile statements in the code to compile for the release.
defined a VERSION12 and VERSION13 macro. all changes were surrounded by these statements
command form (e.g., cc, gcc) and put that in the libhdf5.settings
file. This would help show exactly which compiler was used during
the configure stage. It may not be 100% "correct" in some cases
such as "configure done in one machine but compiling done in another."
