Anti-feature
Description:
Revert changes to H5G_stat_t struct, to make it compatible with the 1.6.x
branch again. The information that was added to the H5G_stat_t struct will
be reported through other API routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & Fortran
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
bug fixes
Description:
some function calls had integer constants in the argument list;
these caused size mismatches on some platforms (hsize_t expected)
Solution:
declared hsize_t variables or added casts
Platforms tested:
linux (heping)
solaris
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
AIX
solaris
with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Previous checkin did a bad thing; 'make clean' failed in example directories.
Solution:
Fixed commence.am so that examples no longer break, and fixed a mistake
in conclude.am.
Platforms tested:
heping (minor makefile change)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
make check-clean didn't clean results of example tests
Solution:
Fixed Makefiles so that check-clean recurses into example directories.
Also a little Makefile cleanup.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, heping, copper
Bug fix
Description:
Add the hl/fortran/examples & hl/tools directories to the list of
directories targeted by mostlyclean/clean/distclean.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Moved gif2h5 tool to hl directory
Description:
Added a tools directory under the hl directory and moved the gif2h5 tool
to that directory.
Solution:
The gif2h5 tool was originally built in the tools directory, but this
introduced dependency issues that required special checks in the
Makefiles.am and required the top-level build order to be changed
because it depended on the HL library.
For simplicity in the Makefiles now and in the future, the gif2h5 tool
was moved to be underneath the hl library.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper, modi4, shanti
Added HL examples
Description:
Examples existed for the HL lite, image, and table interfaces, but
were never included in the distro... until now!
Solution:
Added source files to CVS, updated Makefile and MANIFEST.
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, shanti
new feature
Description
H5LTget_dataset_info did not allow for passing NULL in the arguments when that argument was not requested.:
Solution:
add conditions that allow to pass NULL in the return arguments, when one of them is not needed
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Change to release script
Description:
Silenced doxygen's output when bin/release doc is run. Now if doxygen
has an error the release script will exit.
Someone forgot to run reconfigure after a Makefile.am, so testing the
release script seems to have had the side effect of regenerating a
Makefile.in.
Platforms tested:
mir
bug fix
Description:
the --disable-hl switch was causing linking errors on gif2h5 that uses image api (bugzilla #1)
Solution:
used the condional macro for hl to build gif2h5
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the linking order in Makefile.am of the gif2h5 tool was causing linking errors on some configurations (pgcc, --disable-shared)
Solution:
changed the order of the linking (hl before hdf5)
Platforms tested:
linux, several configurations
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix , bugzilla bug #1
Description:
the gif2h5 was not writing HDF5 images correctly
Solution:
use the Image API to write the image, rewrote the writing functionY
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Check in some of the code cleanups from working on the external link
support. (This doesn't include any of the external link features)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OSX.4 (amazon)
Linux 2.4
Description: Revise a few details of H5LTtext_to_dtype() and H5LTdtype_to_text(),
1. changed the DDL definition of string, opaque, and compound types.
2. added a new parameter of H5LT_lang_t type to these two functions.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Copyright fix
Description:
The packet table examples were breaking the copyright checking script.
Fixed them.
Also caught a one-line copyright problem in another file.
Platforms tested:
Only changed comments.
Description: Renamed lex.yy.c to H5LTanalyze.c, y.tab.c to H5LTparse.c, and
y.tab.h to H5LTparse.h in hl/src. Changed definition of opaque type to ommit the tag.
Changed the test for opaque type in hl/test, too.
Platforms tested: h5committest, fuss, and sleipnir.
Misc. update: MANIFEST
Description: The g++ compiler on sleipnir doesn't like variable name
"class". There're also some other warnings.
Solution: Changed "class" to another name and fixed the warnings.
Platforms tested: sleipnir - simple changes.
Description: This is the second step of conversion between data type and
text, H5LTdtype_to_text().
Solution: Similar to h5dump, this function print the DDL description of
a data type into a string.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Libraries were listed in the wrong order in tools/gifconv Makefile.am, confusing
the linker.
Solution:
Put HDF5 library after tools library in Makefile.am and ran reconfigure.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir
h52gif bug fix (494)
Description:
the reading routines were using file datatype sizes for memory allocation
Changed the HDF5 read routines to use memory types and sizes,
for both the image and pallete datasets
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Added high-level example directories
Description:
Refactored common code out of examples Makefiles.am, added high-level
example directories, added packet table examples.
Solution:
Examples now draw from a common config/examples.am file, which
contains rules for installing, uninstalling, and cleaning examples.
High-level example directories are mostly empty, except for the
C and C++ packet table tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, copper, shanti
Code cleanup
Description:
Fix a bunch of warnings flagged by Windows compilers.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Cleanup
Description:
Changed comments in C++ packet table code to refer to entries as
"packets" instead of "records."
Solution:
The APIs were changed to correspond to the C API, but the documentation
wasn't. This is fixed.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sleipnir
Misc. update:
This corresponds to documentation update earlier this week.
Bug fix
Description:
Fortran type generation was broken in two ways. Fixed both.
Solution:
Firstly, there were a couple of path problems. Fixed a typo and
specified the full path of a file.
Secondly, the dependencies weren't right when building with HDF5-specific
commands (make lib, make check-s, etc.). Tweaked dependencies
to fix the problem.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, sleipnir
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
Description:
Fixed bug in hl/src Makefile that was deleting y.tab.c.
Running bin/reconfigure changed a few other files as well (somebody
probably updated Makefiles.am but forgot to bin/reconfigure).
Solution:
Automake in its wisdom adds the line "rm *.tab.c" to every distclean
in every directory. I assume that it assumes that such files are
generated during the build. Supplied an empty distclean-compile
target to remove this line from the Makefiles.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, shanti
Maintenance on Windows
Description:
Add macro H5_HLDLL before newly checked in function hid_t H5LTtext_to_dtype(const char *text);
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Windows XP with VS 6.0
Misc. update:
Description: The last checkin to add #ifdef H5_HAVE_UNISTD_H before #include<unistd.h>
didn't work because no hdf5 library header file have been included in that stage.
Solution: Changed it to #ifndef WIN32.
Platforms tested: sleipnir g++ where the complaint happened.
documentation improve
Description:
added a more complete description for each function in the comments
that matches the online documentation
Solution:
Platforms tested:
solaris
Misc. update:
Description: lex.yy.c for H5LTtext_to_dtype() has been failing to compile
on 64-bit SunOS. It has malloc() call but doesn't include stdlib.h.
Solution: Include stdlib.h in H5LTanalyze.l.
Platforms tested: shanti - simple change.
Description: The g++ on sleipnir had troubles to compile the H5LTtext_to_dtype()
code.
Solution: Fixed problems at different places.
Platforms tested: h5committest and g++ on sleipnir.
Purpose: Minor bug fix
Description: Static function test_text_dtype() has static subroutines defined after itself. The gcc compiler on sleipnir complained.
Solution: put test_text_dtype() after subroutine's definition.
Platforms tested: sleipnir with gcc 4.0 where the complaints happened. Simple change.
Description: Adding the new function H5LTtext_to_dtype() for converting text description to data type.
The next step will be H5LTdtype_to_text().
Solution: Use Lex and Yacc to do parsing of the text. H5LTanalyze.l is the lexer for analyzing the
input; H5LTparse.y is the parser. They are not part of HL library, but are used to generate lex.yy.c
(from H5LTanalyze.l) as well as y.tab.c and y.tab.h (from H5LTparse.y). The tools used to create
these source files are GNU FLEX and YACC on a Linux machine (fuss). The commands are "lex H5LTanalyze.l"
and "yacc -d H5LTparse.y". Detailed document will be added later.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: MANIFEST
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
