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
Refactor code
Description:
Refactor common code for determining the native type for using in the
tools into separate routine.
Also, reduce diffs between the two branches and bring back some fixes from
the development branch to the release branch.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
Description:
added the code for print strings with new line and display the path of references (new source files h5tools_ref.c and .h )
added a test suite in testh5dump.sh.in for
( note : to create testh5dump.sh , one must redo ./configure; this detects the availability of filters
and generates testh5dump.sh accordingly)
1) storage layout
2) fill value
3) print reference with path
4) print strings with new lines
5) filters
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
1) new function for tools library
2) new test script for h5repack
Description:
1) currently all the tools (h5dump, h5diff, etc) do not check if a filter is available
for reading some dataset that might have a filter not available on the current configuration (the behaviour
of the tools until now was to trigger a library error, saying that the dataset cannot be read
due to the lack of the filter)
Solution:
1) added a new function h5tools_canreadf that checks if a dataset can be read
depending on the availability of filters.
this function was added in calls for h5diff and h5repack.
instead of triggering the library error, a message is printed, saying that the dataset
cannot be read (the print is optional, it is on on verbose mode)
2) added a shell script that tests the commannd line tool behaviour of h5repack
the script does a series of runs of h5repack with several options on the same file (this file test4.h5
was added to the testfiles dir).
then, it runs the h5diff tool, with the input and output files , in each run.
the goal of the test is also to check item 1) . the binary file was saved with filters
that might not be available on other configurations
Platforms tested:
linux (all filters enabled)
linux (some filters disabled)
solaris (some filters disabled)
AIX (some filters disabled)
windows (all filters on and off )
Misc. update:
h5diff new feature
Description:
added compare for attributes
a new options flag (-a) was added to the options structure. it is 0 by default (no compare )
the output of the compare is the same that for datasets, and all the other flags also apply for attributes
(the memory compare is done in the same function diff_array)
all the other requirements for compare of datasets (type, space) are identical too
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.7
IRIX
Misc. update:
Updated the copyright notice--mostly by rearranging
some text to make them consistent.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
"h5committested"--sol is down, so, no SUn test.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
The SUBDIRS macro is now defined as "" in the config/commence.in
file. We shouldn't have definitions of this macro before the
inclusion of config/commence.in.
Solution:
Placed all definitions of SUBDIRS after config/commence.in inclusion.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (Small fix yet again).
Misc. update:
Bug Fix (Bug #806)
Description:
When compiling/installing with the command "make install" (without
performing a "make" beforehand) the tools weren't being made. This
was because the `install' command in the Makefiles only relied upon
public libraries, not private ones (which the one in the tools
directory is).
Solution:
Had the `install' command be dependent upon an "AUX_LIB" macro which
includes libraries which are needed but aren't distributed (that is,
they're staticly compiled).
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
We were trying to build the talign test program before the library
was actually built.
Solution:
Moved talign test to the lib directory since it belongs with the
library anyway.
Platforms tested:
Linux
