Users can create external links using H5L_create_external(). These links
point to an object in another HDF5 file. Users can alter the behavior of
external links or create new kinds of links by registering callbacks
using the H5L interface.
Added tests, tools support, etc.
Also a number of other, minor changes have been made (some restructuring of
the H5L interface, for instance).
Additional documentation and examples are forthcoming.
Anti-feature
Description:
Revert changes to H5G_stat_t struct, to make it compatible with the 1.6.x
branch again. The information that was added to the H5G_stat_t struct will
be reported through other API routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & Fortran
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Code cleanup
Description:
Check in some of the code cleanups from working on the external link
support. (This doesn't include any of the external link features)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OSX.4 (amazon)
Linux 2.4
Description: Brought back changes from SX-6.
Solution: Program will not compile. Fixed.
Platforms tested: SX-6, heping and mir with new g95
Misc. update:
Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
Adjust H5G_stat_t to prepare for eventual "external link" information.
This also puts the information for regular objects and soft links into more
obviously separate places.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Code cleanup & speedup
Description:
Refactor h5dump & related code to be considerably cleaner & faster for
files with large #'s of objects.
Platforms tested:
FreeBS 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Bug fix/code cleanup
Description:
Add tests to determine that very long (64K+) object names are working.
Fixed a couple of bugs in h5dump where they weren't...
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
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".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN
Linux 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Misc. update:
Description:
added the code for print strings with new line and display the path of references (new source files h5tools_ref.c and .h )
added a test suite in testh5dump.sh.in for
( note : to create testh5dump.sh , one must redo ./configure; this detects the availability of filters
and generates testh5dump.sh accordingly)
1) storage layout
2) fill value
3) print reference with path
4) print strings with new lines
5) filters
