Autotools Update
Description:
I've updated autoconf, automake, and libtool to the latest/greatest
versions; 2.53, 1.6, and 1.4.2 resp.
Many changes come with the new versions:
- ltconfig is no longer used
- acconfig.h is no longer used (#define values are declared with
the macro)
- regeneration of all of the aclocal.m4, configure, and
H5config.h.in files.
- new config.{guess,sub} files
- new ltmain.sh file
Platforms tested:
AIX (blue), and Linux
----------------------
./COPYING
Reformatted as text instead of C. Removed zlib crew from the
list of contributors since no zlib code is actually in the
hdf5 library.
./INSTALL
./INSTALL.ascired
./MANIFEST
Minor updates for Beta release including version number
change.
./INSTALL_MAINT
Added information about making a release.
./RELEASE
Updated function list based on public header files.
./bin/checkposix
Got rid of complaints about some obvious things.
./doc/html/H5.api.html
./doc/html/RM_H5F.html
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fpublic.h
./test/tfile.c
Changed H5Fget_create_template() and H5Fget_access_template()
to H5Fget_create_plist() and H5Fget_access_plist() since that
conforms better to lots of other names.
./doc/html/Datatypes.html
./doc/html/ExternalFiles.html
./doc/html/Files.html
./doc/html/H5.api.html
./doc/html/H5.sample_code.html

Changed `template' to `property list', etc.
./doc/html/Ragged.html [NEW]
Documentation for ragged arrays.
./src/H5Iprivate.h
./src/H5Ipublic.h
./src/H5I.c
Changed the scope of some symbols to be more local.

./src/H5V.c
./src/H5Z.c
./src/H5private.h
Fixed some violations of our naming scheme by adding HD to the
beginning of all Posix functions.
----------------------
./src/H5Flow.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5Fsplit.c
Changed the allocation size request from `size_t' to `hsize_t'
because it was overflowing for the `big' test.
./src/H5detect.c
If `long double' and `double' are the same size then we define
H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE to be the same as H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE.
Similarly for `long' vs. `long long' and `unsigned long' vs.
`unsigned long long'.
./test/Makefile.in
Added `big' to the list of tests to normally run.
./test/big.c
Added a check to see if the file system supports holes and if
it doesn't then the test is skipped.
./RELEASE
Added a couple minor details details about API tracing and
symbolic links.
./src/H5public.h
Added comments about the use of hbool_t. Fixed a comment
spelling error.
./test/testhdf5.h
Changed the way the version number is printed. The old method
was `hdf5-1.2.3d' and the new method is `hdf5 version 1.2
release 3'
./tools/h5ls.c
Only prints the max dimension if it differs from the current
dimension or if verbose mode is enabled. Added switches `-?',
`-h', and `--help' to print a usage message. Added switches
`-v' and `--verbose' to generate more verbose output. Added
switches `-V' and `--version' to print the version number and
exit. The version number is printed like: This is h5ls
version 1.0 release 24'
./bin/h5vers [NEW]
This script prints, sets, and/or increments the hdf5 version
number. It can be run from the top directory or any of the
child directories like src, tools, test, etc. Some examples:
$ h5vers # Display current version
1.0.24
$ h5vers -v
version 1.0 release 24 # Display current version.
$ h5vers -s 5.2.8 # Set version and display
5.2.8
$ h5vers -s 2.1
2.1.0
$ h5vers -s hdf5-1.0.24a.tar.bz2
1.0.24
$ h5vers -s 'version 2.0 release 8'
2.0.8
$ h5vers -s 'junk 22 junk 33 more junk 66 and 99 junk'
33.66.99
$ h5vers -i major # Increment from 1.0.24
2.0.0
$ h5vers -i minor # Increment from 1.0.24
1.1.0
$ h5vers -i release # Increment from 1.0.24
1.0.25
$ h5vers ~/hdf5/src/H5public.h # Use an alternate file
1.0.24
./bin/checkapi [NEW]
Run from the src directory with arguments H5[A-Z]*.c and it
will print the locations of each place where an API function
was called from within the library. Use it as the compile or
grep command under Emacs and you can C-x ` through the list.
./bin/debug-ohdr [NEW]
Keeps track of H5O_open() and H5O_close() debugging messages
and lists the file addresses of the object headers that are
opened but never closed. You must enable the `o' debugging at
configuration time and pipe stderr into this script.
./bin/errors
Added a note to indicate that this script no longer works
because of changes in the HRETURN_ERROR() and HGOTO_ERROR()
macros.
./bin/iostats [NEW]
Watches output from the Linux strace program and accumulates
statistics about low-level access to an hdf5 file. The output
is a list of 2d data points which can be plotted by gnuplot to
show file seeking behavior.
./MANIFEST
Added new files.
----------------------
./RELEASE
Added Library functions that I missed the first time.
./html/Datasets.html
Added an example for Elena's question about how to read a
single member of a compound data type so it becomes an array
of that member in memory.
./src/H5Pprivate.h
Fixed the prototype for H5P_get_hyperslab() to match the
definition.
./src/H5Psimp.c
Oops, added the kludge back in for the offset argument, which
is still an `intn' instead of a `size_t'.
./src/H5.c
./src/H5public.h
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpublic.h
Changed H5init() to H5open() and added an H5close() to fit our
create/open/close paradigm. The H5open() happens
automatically on the first call to the HDF5 library. The
H5close() happens automatically on exit() (unless the app
turns off that feature). H5close() closes all datasets and
files and releases all resources used by the library.
./test/dsets.c
Added calls to H5open() and H5close() to test them.
./test/dtypes.c
Removed call to H5init() since we no longer need it there.
./src/H5Fstdio.c
Changed the PABLO_MASK to the right value. Thanks Kim.
Perl script that looks for Posix functions that haven't been
protected by adding `HD' to the beginning of the name. It
takes a list of .c file names as arguments.
./bin/errors NEW
A filter that takes a function prologue and function body as
standard input and updates the error list in the prologue
based on the function body. You must add the `ERRORS' or
`Errors:' field to the prologue before you pass it through
this filter or else the errors come out as a separate
comment. The errors field must be terminated with a blank
line in the prologue so we know where the end is.
I may enhance this in the future to take an entire file as
standard input instead of individual functions.
