General shared library improvements for CYGWIN / AIX
Description:
Shared libraries are disabled on both CYGWIN and AIX due
to inability to build them correctly. Part of the problem
in both of these situations is the lack of the libtool
flag -no-undefined, which tells libtool that all needed
symbols are defined at link time (a requirement on these
systems) and that it's okay to build shared libraries.
Another problem are lack of dependencies between wrapper
libraries and core C HDF5 library.
This patch addresses both of these by fixing configure to
add in -no-undefined flag for libtool during linking and
adds automake dependencies in the Makefile.am files.
After testing, both CYGWIN and AIX now generate shared
libraries, but there are still some test failures in each.
(cache_api, dt_arith, and testerror.sh on CYGWIN, and
fortran tests on AIX).
Even though the shared libraries are not quite perfect,
this is a general improvement to what we had before, so
I'm applying the patch anyways. Note that default behavior
of shared libraries on these systems being disabled has
NOT been changed and requires the use of the
--enable-unsupported to attempt to build them.
We will need to address the test failures in each
architecture prior to formally supporting shared
libraries on each.
Tested:
h5committested & CYGWIN tested (on bangan)
(AIX tested by Albert on bp-login2)
Add "silent make" mode configure option.
Description:
Automake 1.11 has a new option available that allows for a
silent make mode. This functionality needs to be explicitly
enabled in configure.in via the use of the automake macro
AM_SILENT_RULES, which is what this commit is adding.
This introduces a new configure option:
--{en|dis}able-silent-rules
This option is on by default, and simplies compile and link
line outputs when building the library. Disabling this option
will print full "verbose" output (i.e., full compile and
linking lines for each target).
Tested:
This was tested on jam & h5committested
- Revise shared Fortran library disabling scenarios in configure
- Improve configure output summary
Description:
Shared Fortran libraries are not supported on Mac, but were being
disabled by configure in a way that also forced the C libraries
to be static-only. This has been fixed, so now only shared Fortran
is disabled while shared C can remain.
This prompted two additional changes:
1. While working on the check that addresses whether or not
shared Fortran libraries are allowed, removed old and no
longer needed check(s) that disable shared Fortran
libraries with HP, Intel 8, PGI, and Absoft compilers.
(Essentially, Mac is the only situation in which Fortran
shared are disabled by configure.)
2. Having two different states of libraries (i.e. shared C
library with static-only Fortran library) was not apparent
in the configure summary, which labeled all libraries as
either shared and/or static. I've added lines to both the
C++ and Fortran output sections to list shared/static-ness
of these libraries specifically.
Additionally, I've made sure that the new --enable-unsupported
configure option correctly overrides configure if it tries to
disable a shared library.
Tested:
jam, fred, & h5committest
h5ls is used to verify for the result, so change the two tests not to run
h5diff like others.
This is related to the previous checkin SVN r18398 for Bug#1733.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), cmake (jam)
Fix Bug 2120 - h5copy: improve to copy an object into same HDF file
Description:
Before the fix users can't copy an object (dataset or group) with
different name if input file (-i) and output file (-o) is same.
This feature would be useful to clone any object with different name and
reuse contents.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Cmake (jam)

Problem: some launching command like yod (and sometimes mpirun), do not pass
back the exit code of the executables back to the shell. It always returns 0
if it can launch the executable. This cause tests that expect non-zero exit
code to fail incorrectly.
Short term Solution:
Added the feature that if $RUNSERIAL_NOEXITCODE is defined, do not
test conditions that rely on non-zero exit code.
Tests:
dove-linux using RUNSERIAL=thgyod to see the failures and using
$RUNSERIAL_NOEXITCODE=yes to bypass the errors.
Also h5committested.
Enable tools lib to be built as a dll on windows. Added two get/set functions for progname and d_status.
Also add windows import/export declarations to functions.
Updated error_mesg() and warn_mesg() to remove progname argument and use get functions
Tested:
Windows, linux
Improve configure's large-file support control.
Description:
Modified configure to now attempt to add defines necessary for
supporting largefiles on all systems, instead of solely on linux. This
is in response to user requests to enable largefile support on Solaris
by default, as well as to give extra control on AIX (instead of just
jamming the necessary flag into the config files).
The old --enable-linux-lfs flag has been removed in favor of the
--enable-largefile flag (enabled by default), which can be used on all
platforms.
On systems where large files cannot be supported in this manner,
configure will report as such.
Tested:
h5committest
AIX (NCSA's blue_print machine)
duty, liberty, and linew.
Autotool Upgrade / Libtool Bug Fix
Description:
Updated autotools referenced in bin/reconfigure as follows:
Autoconf 2.64 --> Autoconf 2.65
Automake 1.11 --> Automake 1.11.1
Libtool 2.2.6a --> Libtool 2.2.6b-mcg
The referenced libtool version is a custom version of 2.2.6b. It
has been tweaked to fix a bug in libtool that occurs
when using PGI 10.0 compilers. A check incorrectly categorizes
the C++ compiler as version 1.0 instead of 10.0, and the link
line is subsequently set up incorrectly and fails to compile.
A patch has been made available and will be included in the next
release of libtool, but in the meantime I've applied the patch to a custom
installation as indicated above. This bin/reconfigure now references
the custom installation, and the resulting configure script will correctly
categorize the PGI 10.0 C++ compiler.
Ran bin/reconfigure to regenerate configure and makefiles.
Tested:
jam and amani with PGI 10.0 compilers.
