Address HDFFV-7942 - h5diff: incorrect result for comparing attribute data with different type size in same class
Description:
When comparing attribute data values with same type class but different size, the result was incorrect. It was due to the size difference and got truncated.
Fixed to match up the smaller type size to big type size like what dataset does.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), cmake (jam)
Purpose:
HDFFV-8003 - ph5diff (parallel h5diff): daily test failure on ember intermittently during non comparable test file comparison
HDFFV-7755 - parallel h5diff : hanging on koala intermittently during non comparable test file comparison
Description:
non-comparable test intermittently hung on koala and ember, but not on jam. it didn't occur until -np reaches 4 or bigger. it occurred once out of many repeated attempts of the same test.
There was a incorrectly (mistakenly?) duplicated code in MPI section which caused such hang in a certain condition. The test used more processes than other tests, which increased chance to trigger more undone processes, and such process could enter the incorrect code section and wait for wrong pair of send. it explains why it occurred intermittently according to machine condition and using a certain feature.
Removed incorrect code which blocked correct code.
Tested: some manually repeated test performed
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE)
Create setters for indexing options in h5trav.c to be set before the obj table is created.
Revert h5trav_print to remove now duplicated parameters.
Added test and testfiles.
Tested: local linux with cmake
Added static local variables in h5trav to hold the index_by and index_order values. Defaults are set.
H5dump only use of the trav_print function, added two parameters and passed in the sort_by and sort_order variables.
Tested: local linux
Fix for HDFFV-7998-h5diff: incorrect behavior and output for comparing symbolic dangling links without following-symlinks option
Description:
Fix not to check and display dangling link status without --follow-symlinks option.
Berfor the fix, when comparing symbolic link to symbolic link without follow-symlinks option, h5diff followed to check if those links are dangling or not. It caused to display output incorrectly (dangling link instead of symbolic link).
The fix also improved performance when comparing lots of symbolic links without the --follow-symlinks option.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
Clean up more FUNC_ENTER/FUNC_LEAVE macros and move H5D & H5T code toward
the final design (as exemplified by the H5EA & H5FA code).
Tested on:
Mac OSX/64 10.7.3 (amazon) w/debug & parallel
Fix for HDFFV-7644 GMQS: h5diff - incorrect behaviors when comparing HDF5 files with different type of objects (dataset, group, type) as common objects
Description:
Fixed failure for comparing same named object with different object types in comparing groups. (common object comparison)
Prior to the fix, h5diff resulted in error. After the fix, h5diff detects such case as non-comparable and display messages accordingly.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
Fix for HDFFV-7837 - h5diff: incorrect behavior with exclude-path option when unique object exist only in one file
Description:
If unique objects exists only in one file and try to exclude
the unique objects with --exclude-path option, h5diff missed
excluding some objects.
Fixed to exclude objects correctly in such case.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
by using an escape character. For example, for a dataset "/dset"
containing attribute "speed(m/h)", use "h5dump -a "/dset/speed(\/h)"
to show the content of the attribute. See details at HDFFV-7523
Fix for HDFFV-7835 h5diff: incorrect result for comparing the two same type symlinks as dangling links.
Description:
When two symbolic dangling links are compared with --follow-symlinks option,
the result should be same. It works for comparing two files, but didn't work
for comparing two objects.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
Task for HDFFV-7862 - Select data by chunk direction to improve performance in h5repack
Description:
h5repack sometimes became very slow when handling big chunked datasets in
certain cases. (when chunk boundary doesn't match with a hyperslab boundary.)
The main issue was from figuring out a hypeslab without considering chunk
boundary to read from and write to such datasets.
The update was made to figure out a better hyperslab unit with considering
chunk boundary to improve performance for such cases prior to the update.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows
