Description:
Many warnings about duplicate symbols for various members in the std.
Solution:
Temporarily added -qweaksymbol to suppress linker messages warning
of duplicate symbols since these warnings are harmless.
Note from pSeries and AIX Information Center:
When compiling C++ programs containing extern inline functions,
you can use the -qweaksymbol compiler option to suppress linker
messages warning of duplicate symbols.
Hoping that a better solution is suggested or the problem will be
handled by the compiler in the future.
Platforms tested:
AIX 5.1 (copper)
Feature - libtool shared library versioning
Description:
Libtool provides a mechanism for different versions of the same shared
library to be distinguished. Now this is applied to HDF5 when it is
built as a shared library.
Solution:
The version number is stored in config/lt_vers.am, and included in
src/Makefile.am.
This number will be automatically updated by bin/h5vers; developers
only need to update it when they change the API.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Any time the API changes, the version number in config/lt_vers.am must
be updated!
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, verbena, modi4
Misc. update:
Turning off collective irregular selection feature for this platform
because the MPI package doesn't support MPI complicated derived data
type.
Description:
Solution:
Add the macro hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works=${hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works='no'}
at the end of config file.
Platforms tested:
Won't affect other platform and too minor to go to PSC cluster for testing.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Fix the daily test failure of collective irregular test in modi4.
Description:
The original test passed with new SGI compiler. Albert verified this from
the SGI machine at DOE. The compiler version number at modi4 is 7.3.1.3m, the compiler version number at DOE is 7.4.2m. compiler at modi4 is old and SGI may fix some bugs during the updating of their compiler.
Solution:
At configuration file IRIX.6.x, set the macro MPI_COMPLEX_DERIVED_DATATYPE to no. In that way, HDF5 library won't call derived datatype routine in the test.
Platforms tested:
modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
On some machines, $RUNSERIAL variable needs to be used to run
tests. Set $RUNTESTS (which is used for non-parallel tests) to
be $RUNSERIAL in configure.am.
Also, since I was updating all Makefiles.in anyway, I updated
commence.am to point to autotools installs in AFS instead of
those on heping.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4, copper
Purpose:
"Bug fix"
Description:
Hardcoded Makefiles to use /bin/sh instead of letting configure
detect shell automatically. This is what v1.6 does, and avoids
problems on janus.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, mir
Purpose:
Added C++ wrapper for Packet Table API.
Description:
Added macro for high-level C++ library (LIBH5CPP_HL), which changes every
Makefile.in.
Added directories for high-level C++ library (though currently only Packet
Table API is supported).
Added both C++ source and tests.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
Misc. update:
Description: This commit is actually revision 1.155, which is the 3rd step of
changing conversion test. It's for conversion from floating-point to integer.
In this step, the source buffer is filled in with normalized and denormalized
floating-point values. For the normalized values, it starts from FLT(DBL, or
LDBL)_MIN, multiplied by 10(10000 for double, 100000000 for long double) for
the next value, until reaches to FLT_MAX. For denormalized values, the
exponent part is always 0. Mantissa part starts with 000...001, 000...011,
000...111, until reaches to 111...111. The same is with negative values.
There're also fixes in config/hpux11.00 for kelgia where default macro table
size wasn't big enough to handle the big macro in dtypes.c.
Platforms tested: h5committest and kelgia.
Hard code IBM platform so that the irregular collective IO won't call

Misc. update:
Automake version upgrade
Description:
Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5.
Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5.
Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables
instead of FFLAGS and F9X.
Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work
supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will
be cleaned later).
Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is
processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since
automake no longer allows us to define unused variables.
Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not
used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and
will break otherwise.
Platforms tested:
Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
Bug fix
Description:
This checkin addresses two bugs.
Firstly, I used the wrong semantics when detecting if $MAKE is defined to
the empty string or undefined.
Secondly, pmake on IRIX does not work well with automake's dependency tracking
if the build is not an in-place build.
Solution:
Fixed semantics in configure.in.
Disabled automatic dependency tracking automatically on IRIX. This is not
the optimal fix, but it should work fine as long as no one is doing HDF5
development on IRIX, and it is much easier than trying to detect the exact
situations in which dependency tracking fails (or than trying to fix dependency
tracking!).
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4 (pmake and gmake)
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
Update port
Description:
Allow FreeBSD builds to use Intel C & F90 compilers (C++ is not working
yet on FreeBSD, so that'll come along later)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/Intel C & F90 compilers
Does not affect other platforms...
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem
Solution:
Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in.
Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in,
configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it
print any warnings.
Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script,
and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping
to regenerate these files correctly.
Platforms tested:
heping sleipnir copper
Bug fix
Description:
Configuration files' timestamps were incorrect.
Solution:
Update Makefiles.in. Also added correct paths to autotools on heping,
so heping build should be able to re-generate configuration files even
if they are still broken.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir
Bug fix
Description:
Dependencies between configure files (aclocal, configure.in, configure,
Makefiles.am and .in) are still causing Makefiles to try to run autotools
during build.
Solution:
Committed all Makefiles.in to update their timestamps.
As a temporary measure, forcibly prevented automake from running
autotools during build by redefining the variables it uses.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (No changes to Makefile content)
Bug fix
Description:
Different compilers use different flags to include Fortran module files
Solution:
Changed boilerplate to use configure variable rather than hardcoded -M flag.

Does not require h5committest
Description: The fix of the loss problem of the last 2 bytes of mantissa on sleipnir has
not been successful. It happens when converting from unsigned long long to long double.
The failure has been on and off.
Solution: Hard set a macro to disable unsigned long long->long double for FreeBSD until
a good solution is found to solve this elusive problem.
Platforms tested: sleipnir and fuss. Only sleipnir is concerned.
Misc. update:
Description: For HP-UX11.00, compiler's casting from 'long double' to most of
integers. A macro was hard set in config/hpux11.00 before.
Solution: Let configure detect this case and set the macro.
Platforms tested: kelgia, fuss, modi4. These systems are mainly concerned.
Description: For HP-UX 11.00, the compiler generates 'floating exception'
when converting 'long double' to most of integer types.
Solution: Define a macro for all other systems except HP-UX 11.00. Hard set
this macro to 'no' in config/hpux11.00 to skip this test for HP-UX 11.00.
Platforms tested: modi4, kelgia, fuss
Description: Start to support software conversion between long double and
all integers.
Solution: No major changes to the algorithm. Changes to configure is to
exclude SGI for long double to integers test because there're too many problems
in their compiler.
Platforms tested: h5committest, modi4, fuss, Teragrid, arabica

Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

Description:
Initial work for supporting GNU FORTRAN/F95 on FreeBSD. I think I've
got things mostly set up correctly, but I'm getting an internal compiler

Not tested in h5committest
Bug fix.
Description:
MIPSpro Compiler 7.4.x starts to support C99 features
but stdint.h has a "guard" in it that will #error if
cc is invoked without asking for C99 standard. But it
does not result with a non-zero compiler exit code, thus
configure thought it is okay to use header file stdint.h.
This causes problems later.
Solution:
Default to use the C99 compiler if available.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Sandia tesla machine which is a new SGI machine.

Too minor to require h5committest
Improvement.
Description:
Change the default CC, F9X and CXX compilers from ecc/efc/ecc
to icc/ifort/icc because Intel keeps changing their compiler
names. This eliminated the warning messages that a wrong
compiler name is used.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Tg-login NCSA only since that is the only
IA64 platform on site.
Description: For Intel 8.1 compiler, C99 standard has to be enabled to define macro ULLONG_MAX in its own header file limits.h.
Solution: Add flag -std=c99 to Intel compiler if the version is 8.1.
Platforms tested: Tested v1.6 because this is a very simple change.

Code cleanup/bug fix
Description:
Remove the undocumented "$NOFP" shell variable which would allow production
builds without removing the stack frame. This was cascading between C and
FORTRAN builds and causing problems.
Solution:
Hard-code removing the stack frame for now. Users would have needed to
read the configure scripts anyway, so there's not really much benefit to the
extra knob. Users who need this functionality (production builds with stack
frames) are debugging probably, so they will need to modify the script and
build their own version of the library now.

Bug fix.
Description:
$CXX_BASENAME was not set yet if $CXX was pre-set to g++. In turn,
CXX_flags are not picking up the g++ values.
Solution:
The correct solution should be done in configure which should have
setup CXX_BASENAME if $CC is set before sourcing this file.
Put a special patch here for g++ for now.
(Also added the recognization of icc as another name for Intel
compilers.)

Description:
The previous patch of -D__GNUC__ was causing failure in the
newer compiler. The previous failure could not be repeated
any more. So, removed it.
Platforms tested:
Tested only in TG-NCSA since the change affects only the ia64 platform.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
It uses the value of $ARCH as a gcc option but the linux clusters
at NCSA define $ARCH as environment variable with values that are
not a valid compiler option. That caused the configure to fail
because it was not able to compile at all.
Solution:
Change ARCH to lower case $arch (convention dictates environment
variables are upper cases.) Also preset $arch to null and do not
honor any pass it values.
Platforms tested:
Attempted to run h5committest but sol was failing due to /tmp
filled. Copper and verbena passed. Also passed in TG-NCSA.

Bug fix (sorta)
Description:
The SGI machines have problems accurately (and consistently) converting
unsigned long values to float and double values, so put in a bit of a hack in
the datatype conversion test code to allow them to get "close enough". This
hack is enabled at configure time by a flag which should only be set on machines
with this problem.

Description:
Fix configuration files to allow 64-bit compilation of the library with
a 64-bit version of zlib.
Solution:
Moved important compiler flags settings from CC macro to CFLAGS macro.
Instead of setting CC (F9X, CXX) environment variable for compiling for 64-bit
code, users should just set the CFLAGS (FFLAGS, CXXFLAGS) to -q64.

Bug fix
Description:
If using g++ on HP-UX, the flags for aCC would be placed on the

Description:
Revamped the configuration system. The configurations for the Fortran

configuration system. This involved removing the "configure*" and
"aclocal.m4" files from the fortran/ and c++/ subdirectories. Also
merging settings in the config/ subdirectories into the main config/
subdirectory.
Fortran header files had to be modified a little for Linux. It was
checking if it was a Linux machine by some #defines, however with the
-std=c99 switch, these defines weren't there. I added a check for
some other ones which should be there whether the -std=c99 switch is
used or not.

failed for many platforms (AIX, Solaris 2.7, HPUX 11, ...) because
when they tried to install at $(prefix)/lib, it becomes /lib since
$(prefix) is not defined.
Solution:
Restore it back to the previous
prefix=...
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Also ran in-place build using vendor make in kelgia, arabica
and copper.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
"prefix" variable was always being set, instead of only being set if the
user hadn't set it yet.
Solution:
Changed "prefix=<foo>" to "prefix?=<foo>".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
Checked in gmake manual to make certain syntax is the same (it is).
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Changes needed to make "pmake" work on Modi4.
Solution:
Needed to add some null macro defines in the commence.in files.
Needed to remove a dependence on LIBH5TEST in the fortran make
since LIBH5TEST isn't used in the fortran stuff.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (small change)
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
RUNPARALLEL is setup with default value when --enable-parallel but only if
CC is not set.
Solution:
set RUNPARALLEL to default value of using poe when --enable-parallel
or when an MPI compiler (e.g. mpcc_r) is used.
Platforms tested:
Copper for both 32 and 64 bit, serial and parallel.
(32bit parallel had a hang problem in configure which is a different but
known problem.)
Note that one still need to setenv AR "ar -X64" for 64bit configure.
Misc. update:
Speed up
Description:
Cache the settings of all number types to save configure time.
Reduced configure time by a whopping 40% (11m to 7m :-)
Platforms tested:
Sasn100 only (janus frontend.)
Replaced the individual setting of gcc flags with the combined
gnu-flags file.
Platforms tested:
Tested in modi4 with different combinations of gcc. No needed to
run three platforms tests since this is for irix machines only.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Remove special optimization and debugging flags for obsolete versions of
gcc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest not needed.
Feature
Description:
Sometimes the total build process take a long time, especially in
parallel systems. Need some idea if some times are taking way
too long to process.
Solution:
Added timestamps marking the beginning and ending of tests in
one directory. This gives a rough idea of how much time the
tests use.
Platforms tested:
Tested only in Eirene since this is just a makefile thing and only
involve a simple command like echo and date.
Misc. update:
Code Cleanup
Description:
Warning messages were being produced by the "make" program because
the "docdir" was being specified twice as a target in the generated
Makefiles. This is because the "EXAMPLESDIR" was also defined as
"docdir".
Solution:
Made "EXAMPLESDIR" unique for C, Fortran, and C++ in the commence.in
file and removed EXAMPLESDIR from the Makefile.ins
Platforms tested:
Dangermouse (only affects make system, not code).
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
Added an explanation of using $HDF5_PARAPREFIX for Parallel tests.
Platforms tested:
h5committested (using sol instead of arabica) plus eirene(pp).
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance for T3E
Description: Cray updated T3E to run unicosmk2.0.6.X
Configuration failed.
Solution: Created new unicosmk2.0.6.X files in the config and fortran/config
directories and added them to MANIFEST
Platforms tested: Cray T3E
Misc. update:
Initial pass for gcc3.3 support
Description:
Added section for gcc 3.3+ and cleaned up the gcc 3.2+ section a little.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/gcc 3.3 snapshot
Triple check unneeded.
Bug Fix
Description:
The compression stuff includes the "zlib.h" header file. This
file on the SP machine was including another file which would
#define const as nothing if the compiler wasn't a Standard C
compiler.
Solution:
Included a flag to make the compiler into an ANSI compiler.
Platforms tested:
Blue (Only affects powerPC computers)
Misc. update:
Purpose: Catching up with 1.4 branch
Description: 1.5 didn't have unicos10.0.X configuration files
for both C and fortran.
Solution: Added the files
Platforms tested: CRAY T90IEEE
Misc. update:
Feature (bug fix)
Description:
Added a new configure file specifically for the IA64 platform
in which ecc and efc are the default compilers.
Also added all the Fortran special setup in the fortran version
Platforms tested:
no h5committest since this is a IA64 platform stuff.
Tested in Titan.
Misc. update:
MANIFEST Updated.
Bug fix
Description:
test/dtypes failed badly when -O is used. Trying to recompile test/*
code without -O did not eliminate the errors. So, the failure is
deep in the hdf5 library.
Solution:
For now, removed '-O' from $PROD_CFLAGS so that enable-production will use
no optimization. Need to find out what exactly trigger the errors.
Platforms tested:
Did not do h5committest because this is an AIX configure change only.
Tested it in Copper. Need to test it on other offsite machines.
Misc. update:
Updated release_docs/RELEASE.
New test feature
Description:
The various virtual file drivers (multi, family, core, ...)
are not tested automatically. One would have to do it by hand
by setenv HDF5_DRIVER <driver> and then do gmake check in test/.
Solution:
Added a new target, check-vfd, which will take the list from
$VFD_LIST and run 'make check' with each of its members.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Since check-vfd is not invoked by default, I went to each machine
to invoke them by hand. The target worked fine but there were
errors reported from those driver tests. (Those errors were beyond
the scope of this make target test.)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The $RUNPARALLEL is set even when parallel mode is not used.
Then it is used to launch some parallel natured test (e.g. example/ph5example)
which is not compiled to be so. That created some unnecessary problem
in some situation (e.g., Copper cannot "poe a.out" from an AFS space
because of the missing AFS token system bug.
Solution:
Setup RUNPARALLEL only when parallel mode is enabled.
Platforms tested:
Only tested in Copper since the change applies to IBM machines only.
(note that v1.4 will fail by default due to a problem when the default
production mode is used. But that is an error not related to this config file)
Misc. update:
Purpose: Catching up with C library
Description: Fortran Library would not configure correctly with PGI compilers
because configure couldn't find any appropriate filesin the config
directories.
Solution: Added new files for PGI compilers support on Linux 2.4
Platforms tested: arabica(C and F90), burrwhite (pgcc and pgf90), modi4 (F90 and parallel)
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
-O2 -finline-functions still causes production builds on eirene to fail.
Solution:
Downgrade optimization on gcc 2.95.x (x<3) to -O -finline-functions
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2 (eirene)
Bug fix w/gcc 2.95.x where x<3
Description:
-O3 optimization level causes problems for gcc 2.95.2 on eirene
Solution:
Only enable -O3 if using gcc 2.95.x (where x>=3) or gcc 3
Otherwise, use older setting of -O2 -finline-functions
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.2 (eirene)
bug fix, features.
Description:
removed the cache of sizeof_long since it varies between 32 and 64 bits.
Set xlc and mpcc_r as the default compiler for serial and parallel modes.
Added -D_LARGE_FILES by default to support large file size.
Added gcc gnu-flags when gcc compiler is used (not working yet.)
Platforms tested:
Tested in Copper only since that is the only AIX machine on site.
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up miscellaneous warnings which have crept into the code.
Fix "_POSIX_C_SOURCE not defined" warning on FreeBSD.
Adjust gcc compiler flags to be more concise for production mode.
Refactor the H5O code so that there is a stronger boundary between code
in the H5O package and code in the library which just calls H5O routines.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and gcc 2.95.4 & gcc 3.2.2
Misc. update:
Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file.
Bug Fix (Bug #806)
Description:
When compiling/installing with the command "make install" (without
performing a "make" beforehand) the tools weren't being made. This
was because the `install' command in the Makefiles only relied upon
public libraries, not private ones (which the one in the tools
directory is).
Solution:
Had the `install' command be dependent upon an "AUX_LIB" macro which
includes libraries which are needed but aren't distributed (that is,
they're staticly compiled).
Platforms tested:
Linux
Cleanup
Description:
Cleanup gcc cases to be more general about gcc 3.x, now that gcc 3.2 has
been released.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) - not a significant enough change to worry about
multi-platform testing.
Porting to AIX 5.x
Description:
These have been tested out in v1.4. Folding them in here.
aclocal.m4:
Snow's names were not included in the special hack.
Added its names in.
Removed the trailing * in pacific.llnl.gov too.
configure.in:
fortran/configure.in:
Added a case to group all AIX 5.* versions as aix5.x. This allows
them to share one common config/*aix5.x file.
configure:
fortran/configure:
Derived from configure.in (done in eirene).
config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x:
Added a comment explaining why not to cache sizeof size_t and off_t
fortran/config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x:
Turned of cache of sizeof size_t and off_t because they are depedent
on compiler options.
config/powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
fortran/config/powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
New config file for AIX 5.X
Platforms tests:
LLNL Blue, Frost, Snow, both serial and parallel.
Bug Fix
Description:
Placed quotes around strings which could be empty so that the shell
script doesn't complain to us about "too many arguments for test"
problems.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Configure cleanup
Description:
Neaten up file a bit more...
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2 (eirene) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris 2.6 (baldric) with gcc 2.8.1
Configure cleanup
Description:
Fine-tune the gcc version checks a bit more...
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) with gcc 2.95.3 and gcc 3.1 (prerelease) and
Solaris 2.6 (baldric) with gcc 2.8.1
Configuration improvements
Description:
Added more warning flags to gcc builds, especially with gcc 3+. Also, added
the -Wno-long-long flag to gcc builds to turn off the annoying "long long"
warnings.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) with gcc 2.95.3 and gcc 3.1 (prerelease)
Bug fix
Description:
Old config assume compiler is the SGI compiler if it is not gcc.
It would apply all SGI cc options to the $CFLAGS. This would cause
problem if a non-cc non-gcc compiler is used.
Solution:
Verify the compiler is indeed the SGI compiler before applying all those
cc specific options to the $CFLAGS.
Platforms tested:
modi4, both parallel serial, gcc or cc, -64 or n32.
Bug Fix
Description:
``make uninstall-doc'' wasn't working properly. Some files would be
left behind in the installed source tree. The fix I put in was too
heavy-handed as it wiped out the entire doc tree that was installed
and would remove any other files which were installed there.
Solution:
Executed the ``make uninstall-examples'' command if uninstalling the
docs. Fixed how the java Tutorial examples were being removed (they
weren't). Essentially used the PUB_SUBDOCS macro to help remove them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
The -lnoop library was specified in $LDFLAS when it should have
been in $LIBS. In the past, human just put it in the back and
repeated it enough times in the link statement till it worked.
The tool h5cc exposed this error since the $LDFLAGS is put in
front of all libraries, including libhdf5.a. That won't work.
Solution:
Moved the specification of -lnoop to $LIBS.
Platforms tested:
Tflops
Bug fix.
Description:
__int64 is not a legal type in Tflops.
Set its sizeof to 0 in the cached values.
This is a temporary fix since the real problem is
in configure which hardset __int64 to 8 for cross-compiling cases.
Platforms tested:
Tflops
Bug fix.
Description:
FreeBSD would fail the threadsafe feature if static-exec is not on.
Solution:
Force enable-static-exec on if enable-threadsafe is on.
Also moved the chunk of FreeBSD specific code for Pthread setup
from configure.in to config/freebsd.
Also changed enable-threadsafe to check on linking pthread program.
That takes care of platforms (e.g. freebsd) that has pthread
support builtin the default C library. Now one can just use
"enable-threadsafe" if the compiler has pthread support by default.
Platforms tested:
eirene, Sleipnir
Code cleanup
Description:
Put quotes around compiler flags when debugging is on, so they get
carried down into the Makefiles properly.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (baldric)
Bug fix
Description:
When compiled with the -g flag (for debugging), the incremental linker
causes problems when building the H5detect utility.
Solution:
Turn off the incremental linker (with the -xildoff flag) when compiling
for debugging.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.8/64 (houdin)
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
On NERSC SP3 configure failed while trying to figure out
how to print long long.
Solution:
Added the following line
hdf5_cv_printf_ll=${hdf5_cv_printf_ll='ll'}
Platforms tested:
Not tested yet.
Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.
Platforms tested:
Linux
New feature.
Description:
Test programs were assumed to be serial programs only.
There was no provision to test parallel programs automatically.
Solution:
Added $(TEST_PARA_PROGS) to hold parallel test programs and
added appropriate action entry to test them if defined.
Platforms tested:
Eirene (parallel).
Purpose:
Feature Addition
Description:
Added support for gcc 3.0.x. GCC 3.0.x supports the C99
specification. The "-std=c99" gets rid of those annoying "warning
long long not supported by ANSI standard" messages.
Platforms tested:
Linux and gcc 3.0.1
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match
anything and cause problems since it would then overwrite the
beginning of the header file's path.
Solution:
Wrote a Perl script which can handle this type of weirdness better.
It's only used when the environment is a GNU one with a GCC
compiler...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix... (sorta)
Description:
Added --enable-linux-lfs configure flag to have better control over whether
the enable large file support on Linux machines. Also removed the
-malign-double flag for gcc since it can potentially cause errors which
are difficult to detect.
Platforms tested:
Linix 2.2 & 2.4 (eirene and dangermouse)
Code cleanup
Description:
Get ready for adding C99 extensions sometime in the future.
Solution:
Added some comments to the gcc flags..
Platforms tested:
Linux (eirene), FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Better Mouse Trap^W^WBug Fix
Description:
Instead of having the large file support stuff be in the
config/gnu-flags directory, I added it to the configure.in file so
that it first checks for the syscall ``getdents64()''. If it finds
it, then it removes the ``-malign-double'' flag if the GCC compiler
is 2.95.x since this flag doesn't play well with the LFS stuff.
Solution:
Added test for getdents64(), if found it removes the -malign-double
flag if the compiler is 2.95.x. This is done in the configure.in
file. The gnu-flags file is returned to normal. A new field is added
to the H5config.h.in file because of the getdents64 check.
Platforms tested:
Linux
