Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Error messages were printed to the file and standard output regardless
of the parameters passed to the h5eprint_f function. h5eprintc function
did not close the file with the error output. Fixed.
Platforms tested:
arabica and eirene
Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
H5_SIZEOF_HSIZE_T was missing from among the definitions we provide for
the variables we declare.
Solution:
Added it.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Bug fix
Description:
A couple more compile problems from the recent elimination of IDs from
internal function calls.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
Bug fix.
Description:
Builds for parallel testing exposed some places that I forgot to get rid of
using IDs in internal APIs.
Solution:
Switch sections of code to use proper data structures instead of IDs.
Platforms tested:
Parallel compiles from daily tests.
Code cleanup
Description:
Got rid of IDs from internal API functions and also got rid of API calls
from internal functions.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code cleanup & bug fixes
Description:
Clean up memory leaks when shutting down H5P API.
Remove all IDs from internal API calls, except for H5P_isa_class, which
should be the only internal API call which accepts an ID besides the H5I*
functions.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Bug fix & code cleanup
Description:
Be much more careful when closing all the IDs in an ID group, re-flush
the ID cache after each ID closed, since the close callback for an ID could
get back into the ID API code and create havoc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code cleanup
Description:
Be more careful when starting up and shutting down APIs, only initialize
variables which are actually shut down already.
Get rid of IDs from internal function calls
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code cleanup
Description:
Get rid of IDs from internal function calls and some small cleanups from
the old-stype => generic property list conversion.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code cleanup
Description:
Put quotes around compiler flags when debugging is on, so they get
carried down into the Makefiles properly.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (baldric)
Purpose:
A new feature
Description:
While testing h4toh5 utility with real NASA files, we find an example that the data array(one SDS) is so big that it exceeds the physical memory of some machine(>128 MB) and the conversion failed. Before the smart hyperslab operation is out, I am dividing the whole SDS into smaller hyperslabs with each hyperslab propotational to the original SDS array dimensions. For example, a three dimension array with 1000*1000*1000 elements, I can divide them into eight 500*500*500 pieces. I can read and write each piece and remember their starting and ending points. In this way, the memory allocation failure can be avoided; however, it may not be the efficient way.
I've tested this feature using SDS without chunking. It works fine. However, when testing SDS with chunking, it is extremely slow. This happens to be a bug in HDF5 library now. Quincey may fix this later and give me a more efficient way to handle the problem. Currently all my testing files are with UNLIMITED dimensions, so in HDF5 the chunking feature will be required.
SO by default, this feature will not be turned on.
Solution:
see the above
Platforms tested:
linux 2.2.18
Purpose:
Adding new zip file for windows
Description:
Added C++ API library and tests to "all" in this new zip file.
The C++ API is disabled, however, and will need to be enabled
by the user.
Platforms tested:
Windows 98
Purpose:
bug Fix
Description:
Changed the code so that if parallel stuff isn't enabled, then we
don't compile the parallel code.
Solution:
Cleaned up the code and put #ifdef's around it checking for parallel
flags.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Add the overloaded member function Attribute::getName to return
the attribute name's length as in C API. This functionality was
missing. Note that the current getName that returns "string"
is not removed, for different way of using getName.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Windows 98
Purpose:
Fixing found bug
Description:
A data file cannot be removed because the corresponding H5File object
is still in existence, which means the data file is still opened.
Solution:
Moved h5_cleanup to outside of the try block so that the H5File object
will go out of scope and be destroyed before h5_cleanup attempts to
remove the corresponding data file.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Windows 98
Document bug fix.
Description:
The internal B-tree code was dumping core with an assertion failure when
flushing data to the file if too many objects were put into the same B-tree
(forcing the root node to split, I think).
Solution:
Fixed the B-tree copy routine to copy the correct number of raw keys.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind), Solaris 2.6 (baldric)

Bug patch
Description:
pio_xxx.c will fail compiling in serial mode.
I temporary disable the compile of the pio-perform code from
the Makefile. Will fix it after sunday.
Platforms tested:
eirene (serial).
Purpose:
Update H5pubconf.h and H5config.h on windows platform. Would like to be checked by c++ API and see whether the newly checking-in all.zip works.
Description:
H5config.h and H5pubconf.h are all rearranged. Comments have not been added to H5pubconf.h yet. Will be done later.
Solution:
Most auto-generated system specified constants have been manually tuned on windows platforms. Some of them are still unknown. Will wait later.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Purpose:
1. temporarily fixed mtime test when daylight saving changes on windows.
2. move H5_inline defination for win32 to windows H5pubconf.h at H5private.h.
Description:
1. the mtime test is not working when the daylight saving ends. Hard-coded back to the correct time. Need to find a universal solution later.
2. Move H5_inline defination for win32 at H5private.h into windows specificed H5pubconf.h so that windows maintenance can be more easy to handle.
Solution:
see above.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000, confirmed at Linux Red Hat 6.2.
New addition
Description:
Initial version of the Parallel I/O performance measurement program.
Not fully implemented yet but checking them in before I may destroy
them by accident.
Don't run this in small file system (like AFS or eirene) since it
generates gigabytes test files.
Platforms tested:
modi4 64bits. It compiled and ran but took a long time because
the current test parametes are too "wild".
Documentation
Description:
Mention improvements to I/O speed for non-regular hyperslabs.
Hold off mentioning new API calls until we've reached consensus on them.
Code speedups, etc.
Description:
Bring in new algorithms and data structures for dealing with hyperslabs.
This speeds up the hyperslab I/O for non-regular hyperslabs by a huge
amount.
Currently, the new API functions are ifdef'ed out, pending discussion
and consensus approval.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Switch from old property list to new generic property list.
Description:
Switch API function for the new generic property list.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5, FreeBSD, SunOS 5.7.
Purpose:
Switch from old property list to new generic property list.
Description:
Mainly changed H5Pcreat, H5Pclose, H5Pcopy.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5, FreeBSD, SunOS 5.7.
Purpose:
Switch from old property list to new generic property list.
Description:
Changed C++ according to the new generic property list.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD, SunOS 5.7.
New test feature
Description:
Added create_faccess_plist() that create just MPIO or split+MPIO
file-access property list. This in turn can run parallel tests
with just MPIO or with Split-file VFD too.
Added -s option for split-file Plus MPIO tests.
For testphdf5.c: removed a bunch of old debug code that got left
in by mistake.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 and eirene parallel.
But it has uncovered errors in the library. The test program
is correct though. Checking the test program in so that it won't
get lost and can be used for debugging. Also, the -s is not used
by default during test. At least it won't abort "make check".
