Bug fix
Description:
It uses the value of $ARCH as a gcc option but the linux clusters
at NCSA define $ARCH as environment variable with values that are
not a valid compiler option. That caused the configure to fail
because it was not able to compile at all.
Solution:
Change ARCH to lower case $arch (convention dictates environment
variables are upper cases.) Also preset $arch to null and do not
honor any pass it values.
Platforms tested:
Attempted to run h5committest but sol was failing due to /tmp
filled. Copper and verbena passed. Also passed in TG-NCSA.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Reduce compiler warnings on SGI IRIX
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
SGI IRIX6 (Cheryl's machine)
Too minor to require full h5committest
Code cleanup & addition
Description:
Add new warnings for gcc 3.4.x
Re-work production mode compile flags to work better.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Slight improvement.
Description:
Show directory name at the beginning and ending of running
make check in a directory. Together with the time stamp,
it will be easier to see how much time it takes to run all
the tests in one directory.
Platforms tested:
Eirene only.
Misc. update:
Bug fix (sorta)
Description:
The SGI machines have problems accurately (and consistently) converting
unsigned long values to float and double values, so put in a bit of a hack in
the datatype conversion test code to allow them to get "close enough". This
hack is enabled at configure time by a flag which should only be set on machines
with this problem.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Fix build on sparc64 platform for FreeBSD by modifying the config/gnu-flags
to not insert '-march=i686' on non-Intel platforms. (This change allows HDF5
to run correctly on all five of the main FreeBSD platforms... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest not run since it's a FreeBSD-specific fix.
Bug fix
Description:
Update threadsafe flags for FreeBSD and allow C++ to be built with
threadsafe enabled.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/C++ & thread-safe
Code cleanup/bug fix
Description:
Fix configuration files to allow 64-bit compilation of the library with
a 64-bit version of zlib.
Solution:
Moved important compiler flags settings from CC macro to CFLAGS macro.
Instead of setting CC (F9X, CXX) environment variable for compiling for 64-bit
code, users should just set the CFLAGS (FFLAGS, CXXFLAGS) to -q64.
Updated INSTALL file to reflect this change.
Platforms tested:
IBM p690 (copper) w/parallel, FORTRAN, C++, srcdir.
Platforms specific - h5committest does not apply.
Test cleanup
Description:
Move the perl postprocessing step on the .depend file out of the loop over
all the files, which should get rid of redundant rescanning of the .depend file.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 IA64 (titan)
too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Update debugging and profiling flags to include more information.
Platforms tested:
IBM p690 (copper)
too obscure for h5committest
improvement.
Description:
Created an entry for 2.96 and added -Wno-long-long to the CFLAGS
to suppress the thousands of 'long long' warnings because we are
using it and we know it is not in the C89 standard.
Platforms tested:
Only in verbena.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Update gcc 3.4 flags to reduce optimization level to the same settings
as for gcc 3.0-3.3 due to code generation bugs at higher optimization levels.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Description: After titan updated ecc compiler, int64_t cannot be found.
Solution: Added -D__GNUC__ to CFLAGS to enable int64_t in /usr/include/stdint.h
Platforms tested: titan(titan specific)
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: Fortran APIs MAC OS X port for IBM XL Fortran compiler
Solution: Brought back changes from 1.6 branch
Platforms tested: pommier, h5comittested; this time h5committest
complained about copperpp directory and didn't run;
tests on verbena and sol passed.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Add special-case handling to floating-point conversion tests to avoid
problems with denormalized values on Cray T3E & T90 platforms. (Still not
working on Cray SV1, but at least it's closer).
Solution:
Detect denormalized values and don't try to operate on them on the Crays.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Cray T3E (hubble.cray.com)
Cray T90 (gypsy.cray.com)
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.
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:
If using g++ on HP-UX, the flags for aCC would be placed on the
command line. This was causing g++ to fail the configuration test.
Solution:
CHanged the test so that it's a case statement. If it's the aCC
compiler, then use those flags. Otherwise, don't specify flags. This
case statement can be modified to provide compiler-specific flags in
a similar way to other config/* files.
Platforms tested:
Hp-UX (Hp-UX specific change.)
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
The FFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and CPPFLAGS variables weren't carrying
user-defined values into the Makefiles.
Solution:
Changed the flags from FOO="..." to FOO="$FOO ..."
Platforms tested:
Copper
Verbena
Arabica
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
If the library is built in parallel mode, then name the "h5cc" and
"h5fc" programs "h5pcc" and "h5pfc" resp. This saves the user from
worrying about mixing serial and parallel builds of the library and
having to specify the pathnames and so-forth.
Platforms tested:
Linux (w/ parallel & Fortran)
Modi4 (w/ parallel & Fortran)
Sol (Serial & Fortran & C++)
Misc. update:
Updated release/docs/RELEASE
"bug fix", sort of.
Description:
now that stream-vfd is on by default, it does not work for Tflops.
Set it to no by default.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Tflops.
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Changed the line saying something like:
Testing FOO
to
Fortran API: Testing FOO
and
C++ API: Testing FOO
when appropriate.
Platforms tested:
Verbena, Arabica, Modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Reduce optimization level from -O3 to -O for gcc 3.*, since it seems to
be generating bad code for the atomic type conversions now...
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (eirene, verbena)
h5committest not necessary, this is a GNU-only change.
Bug fix
Description:
The MPI_File_set_size() routine on ASCI Red is not able to extend files
so that they are larger than 2GB.
Solution:
Add an extra macro which controls whether MPI_File_set_size() can handle
>2GB offsets or if our "older" way of reading a byte, then writing a byte at
the appropriate offset should be used.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Purpose: Bug fix (by Bill Wendling)
Description: When efc compiler was used, FFLAGS were not set up
to deal with !DEC amd !MS dirctive and to use
-Vaxlib flag for exit call.
Solution: Modify the file to set up the flag.
Platforms tested: titan
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
In a fit of what can only be described as brain-damagedness, on blue,
frost, etc. (AIX, really), when you include the zlib.h header file
and are specifying that the compiler accept ANSI C, zlib.h undefines
the "const" keyword if you don't have the variable STDC
defined...*boggle*.
Solution:
Included a -DSTDC as a commandline flag for the compiler.
Platforms tested:
Snow (AIX 5.0)
Only affects AIX machines, so no h5committest needed.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
C++ on Irix 6.5 needs some special libraries (libCio or some such
thing). These were defined using the DEFAULT_LIBS macro. However,
they weren't being placed into the Makefiles since it wasn't
AC_SUBST'ed in configure.in and wasn't declared in commence.in.
Solution:
Added to configure.in and also added and commence.in
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (C++, small change and only Irix specific)
Misc. update:
Update/Fix
Description:
The Dependencies files weren't begin generated properly for C++.
Solution:
Modified the "dependencies" script to use "top_srcdir" only instead
of "srcdir", which tended to confuse matters. Regenerated the
Dependencies files.
Platforms tested:
Arabica (Small changes)
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Revamped the configuration system. The configurations for the Fortran
and C++ libraries are no longer separate from the "main"
configuration system. This involved removing the "configure*" and
"aclocal.m4" files from the fortran/ and c++/ subdirectories. Also
merging settings in the config/ subdirectories into the main config/
subdirectory.
Fortran header files had to be modified a little for Linux. It was
checking if it was a Linux machine by some #defines, however with the
-std=c99 switch, these defines weren't there. I added a check for
some other ones which should be there whether the -std=c99 switch is
used or not.
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Sol (Fortran & C++)
Copper (Fortran & C++)
Modi4 (Parallel, Fortran, & C++)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The "prefix?=..." is not recognized by all make commands. Even some
older gmake do not recognize it. The result is that "make install"
failed for many platforms (AIX, Solaris 2.7, HPUX 11, ...) because
when they tried to install at $(prefix)/lib, it becomes /lib since
$(prefix) is not defined.
Solution:
Restore it back to the previous
prefix=...
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Also ran in-place build using vendor make in kelgia, arabica
and copper.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
"prefix" variable was always being set, instead of only being set if the
user hadn't set it yet.
Solution:
Changed "prefix=<foo>" to "prefix?=<foo>".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
Checked in gmake manual to make certain syntax is the same (it is).
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Changes needed to make "pmake" work on Modi4.
Solution:
Needed to add some null macro defines in the commence.in files.
Needed to remove a dependence on LIBH5TEST in the fortran make
since LIBH5TEST isn't used in the fortran stuff.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (small change)
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
RUNPARALLEL is setup with default value when --enable-parallel but only if
CC is not set.
Solution:
set RUNPARALLEL to default value of using poe when --enable-parallel
or when an MPI compiler (e.g. mpcc_r) is used.
Platforms tested:
Copper for both 32 and 64 bit, serial and parallel.
(32bit parallel had a hang problem in configure which is a different but
known problem.)
Note that one still need to setenv AR "ar -X64" for 64bit configure.
Misc. update:
Speed up
Description:
Cache the settings of all number types to save configure time.
Reduced configure time by a whopping 40% (11m to 7m :-)
Platforms tested:
Sasn100 only (janus frontend.)
Replaced the individual setting of gcc flags with the combined
gnu-flags file.
Platforms tested:
Tested in modi4 with different combinations of gcc. No needed to
run three platforms tests since this is for irix machines only.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Remove special optimization and debugging flags for obsolete versions of
gcc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest not needed.
Feature
Description:
Sometimes the total build process take a long time, especially in
parallel systems. Need some idea if some times are taking way
too long to process.
Solution:
Added timestamps marking the beginning and ending of tests in
one directory. This gives a rough idea of how much time the
tests use.
Platforms tested:
Tested only in Eirene since this is just a makefile thing and only
involve a simple command like echo and date.
Misc. update:
Code Cleanup
Description:
Warning messages were being produced by the "make" program because
the "docdir" was being specified twice as a target in the generated
Makefiles. This is because the "EXAMPLESDIR" was also defined as
"docdir".
Solution:
Made "EXAMPLESDIR" unique for C, Fortran, and C++ in the commence.in
file and removed EXAMPLESDIR from the Makefile.ins
Platforms tested:
Dangermouse (only affects make system, not code).
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
Added an explanation of using $HDF5_PARAPREFIX for Parallel tests.
Platforms tested:
h5committested (using sol instead of arabica) plus eirene(pp).
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance for T3E
Description: Cray updated T3E to run unicosmk2.0.6.X
Configuration failed.
Solution: Created new unicosmk2.0.6.X files in the config and fortran/config
directories and added them to MANIFEST
Platforms tested: Cray T3E
Misc. update:
Initial pass for gcc3.3 support
Description:
Added section for gcc 3.3+ and cleaned up the gcc 3.2+ section a little.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/gcc 3.3 snapshot
Triple check unneeded.
Bug Fix
Description:
The compression stuff includes the "zlib.h" header file. This
file on the SP machine was including another file which would
#define const as nothing if the compiler wasn't a Standard C
compiler.
Solution:
Included a flag to make the compiler into an ANSI compiler.
Platforms tested:
Blue (Only affects powerPC computers)
Misc. update:
