Purpose:
fixing output format of character array converted from hdf4 vdata.
Description:
Now one dimensional chactacter array can be outputed as one H5 string instead of string of array before.
Solution:
modify gen_h5comtype() so that when we detect the datatype is hdf5 string, we will merge hdf4 fieldorder into H5T string size and output the whole character array into hdf5 string(with string size = size of the array length).
Platforms tested:
eirene(LINUX), arabica(sun 5.6)
Purpose:
add h4toh5 converter source codes under tools directory.
Description:
[describe the bug, or describe the new feature, etc]
Solution:
[details about the changes, algorithm, etc...]
[Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is
better than others guessing it from the code.]
Platforms tested:
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
