placed on how much memory is used by the free lists before they are garbage
collected. The default is to have no limit, with garbage collection only
occurring when they cannot allocate memory.
lists. Each kind of list one has hard-coded limits on when to garbage collect,
which will be replaced with user-controllable knobs (through property list
settings, I think) once I finish debugging some related performance problems.
RM_H5Front.html
Added new Fortran90 functions and links. Related edits.
Added "Describes HDF5 Release..." line in page footers.
Minor editorial corrections.
H5Tvlen_create: Added cross-reference to H5Dget_vlen_buf_size
and H5Dvlen_reclaim.
H5Tget_class: Removed numbers from class identifiers list.
Added H5T_VLEN to class identifiers list.
RM_H5F.html
H5Freopen: Corrected description of file_id parameter.
Added comment about eventually closing returned identifier.
Added clarification that function cannot open closed files.
H5Pget_chunk: Changed max_ndims parameter description to IN.
H5Pget/set_gc_references: Corrected signature errors,
added missing parameter description and values.
H5Pget/set_family: Removed. These are not implemented.
H5Pget/set_hyper_cache: Corrected signature and parameter
expressions, added missing parameter description.
H5Pset_buffer: Added units for parameter 'size'.RM_H5P.html
H5Pget/set_split: Corrected misnamed parameters.
H5Pset_alignment and H5_set_core:
Edited for clarity.
Added statement regarding "special case" effect of
setting 'threshold' to 0 (zero).
Stated clearly that 'threshold' is non-negative and
'alignment' and 'increment' are both positive.
H5Pget/set_vlen_mem_manager:
Corrected cross-ref to H5Dvlen_reclaim.
Minor clarification regarding circumstances under which
contents of a parameter are ignored.
H5Pget_cache: Removed redundant material.
option. A system may have several versions of diff (e.g., vendor's
and Gnu's). Added codes to try them all until finding one that supports
it. If found, use it; else stick with plain "diff" and may waste time
when there are no differences besides the ignorable patterns.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Redhat 6.2
1. The `driver' table is initialized only once, making it faster and
leaking less memory.
2. The returned driver name is set to the empty string on failure.
3. Added an argument so the function cannot overwrite the end of the
drivername return value.
4. Avoids core dump when assigning driver name to return value if the
file could not be opened by any driver.
5. Changed name of function to h5dump_fopen() to follow the naming
scheme for this source file.
6. Reindented according to hdf5 code standard.
7. Added `const' qualifiers to read-only formals.
8. Removed duplicate forward declaration.
Reindented some parts of these source files that had very odd indentation
(some lines had no indentation while others had 3x what they should).
Fixed calls to H5ToolsFopen() function.
