Purpose:
source code to generate hdf files for h4toh5 converter
Description:
Solution:
see the comments of the code. this file is handled similar with h5dumptst.c
Platforms tested:
eirene, arabica
Purpose:
bug fix
Description:
two bugs: 1. different order of conventions of sds and image in hdf4 is
considered at h4toh5image.c file.
add palette colormodel attribute and correct names of
a few attributes. see detail at:
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/H5Image/ImageDetails.htm
2. convert hdf internal vdata structure(chunking table)
into a new hdf5 dataset.
Solution:
1. change h5 data space order for image.
h5dims[0] = edge[1]-edge[0];
h5dims[1] = start[1]-start[0];
2. at h4toh5main.c, check the vdata class name and if the
first few characters match with HDF_CHK_TBL; ignore converting
this vdata.
3. add a few attributes at h4toh5pal.c
platforms:
linux and sun 5.7(arabica)
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
Update
Description:
Updated the code so that error messages are sent to stdout instead of
to /dev/null. Albert says that it was supposed to be doing this
anyway, so...
Also did some formatting changes.
Solution:
Changed the "2>/dev/null" to "2>&1"
Platforms tested:
Linux
Code cleanup
Description:
Cleaned the code up a bit getting rid of some warnings about "const"
being lost from passing a const char * to a function, etc.
Also force the error messages to stderr instead of simply printing
them to stdout. The same behaviour can be achieved by running h5dump
like:
h5dump ... 2>&1
however, the error reporting before this change wasn't consistent in
its use. I also made some of the error messages clearer (giving names
of the failed types and, when there's an "internal error", reporting
the line number the error occurred on so that we can debug).
Solution:
Converted to "fflush(stdout); fprintf(stderr,...);" for all error
reportings.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Fixlet
Description:
FIxed the hack for the INSTALL macro. It was checking the "whole"
path to the install-sh script instead of if it was just a relative
path with install-sh at the end.
Solution:
Changed the test to match any relative path with install-sh at the
end. This assumes that the install-sh is the one we supply to them
(an assumption it was making before, really).
Platforms tested:
Gondolin, Linux
Fix
Description:
On machines which use the bin/install-sh script, it wasn't picking up
the install-sh script unless it was one directory depth away from it
(ie, it thought that it was in ../bin/install-sh, which isn't good
if, like with the documentation, it's in a deeper directory).
Solution:
Hacked it up so that, if it does use the broken relative-path schema,
then it will change it to use the $(top_srcdir) macro instead.
Platforms tested:
Linux
[is this a bug fix? feature? ...]
Description:
Changed the default settings for enable-production and enable-debug
to no and yes respective, for this development branch.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 parallel and eirene.
Code cleaning
Description:
Moved all gcc compiler flags into the config/gnu-flags file and re-added
the warning flags removed during the beta testing.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
present a problem of h5toh4 release dll problem on windows NT and 2000
Description:
see the text for h5toh4 problem
Solution:
document in the release file
Platforms tested:
[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:
bug fix for h5toh4 converter test batch file and add install example batch file
Description:
The previous h5toh4 test batch file is complicated and easy to make mistakes for
testers, rewrite h5toh4 test batch file
Solution:
copy hdp into the directory where h4toh5 converter exe file is located.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000,NT and 98
Purpose:
windows install documents updated
Description:
fix some text bugs as well as descriptions of h5toh4 converter testing batch file
Solution:
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Purpose:
Contains code examples from doc/H5.intro.html (Intro to HDF5).
These were moved so that examples can be displayed in a separate
browser window and viewed in parallel with reading the document.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
[is this a bug fix? feature? ...]
Description:
[describe the bug, or describe the new feature, etc]
Solution:
[details about the changes, algorithm, etc...]
[Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is
better than others guessing it from the code.]
Platforms tested:

Bug Fix
Description:
The 'carry' variable in the general floating point-to-floating point
conversion routine wasn't getting initialized correctly and was causing
problems while converting certain sequences of floating point numbers
on the Cray SV1.
Solution:
Added 'else carry=0;' line to always reset the carry variable to a known
value.
Platforms tested:
Cray SV1 (killeen)
Purpose:
Extracted code examples from document file so that examples
can be displayed in separate window and viewed in parallel
with reading the doument.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
"Bug fix"
Description:
It could not create the stream file in modi4 because port 5678 is used by
a recently installed application in modi4. But the reading side just
waited there and the two test processes have to be killed by hand.
Solution:
Changed to use port 10007 instead, hoping less chance of conflict
with other applications. Just a short-term solution.
Platforms tested:
modi4.
Purpose:
Update.
Description:
NERSC T3e OS version number has been changed. Refelected this update
in the appropriate section of the file.
Added a sentence about fixed conversion bug to the "Bugs fixed since ...-beta2" section.
Bug fix
Description:
The /bin/csh shell was causing problems if you were using a different
shell than csh (like bash). It couldn't find the compiler.
Solution:
Changed to the more standard /bin/sh
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
I somehow overlooked dataset_p1.obj which was listed as a file to
install.
Solution:
Removed dataset_p1.obj from the list.
Platforms tested:

While running a snapshot, I noticed that MANIFEST has _DO_NO_DISTRIBUTE_ typo.
Solution:
Fixed.
Platforms tested:

Description:
C examples directory did not have a script to run examples.
Solution:
Added. Needs more work to catch failures.
Platforms tested:
O2k (modi4)
Bug fix, feature, cleaning code
Description:
It could not find bin/locate_hdf5.
Solution:
Explicitedly use the bin/locate_hdf5 in the snapshots/current area.
Also, added Usage page to be printed when -h(elp) is asked or when
there is error in command option.
Cleaned some old code no longer used.
Platforms tested:
