Update
Description:
Changed includes of the form:
#include <hdf5_file.h>
to
#include "hdf5_file.h"
so that gcc can pick them up easier without including the system
header files since we don't care about them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
The "FILENAME" declared extern in h5test.h is not always used.
It was used in h5_cleanup to remove temporary files created
during tests. Not all tests codes have used this routine.
Indeed, quite a few of test programs do "#define FILENAME ".
Also, h5_cleanup needs to work in tandem with h5_fixname.
h5_fixname accepts an explicite base_name argument instead
of using the global variable FILENAME. That is cleaner.
Solution:
Added char *base_name[] as a new argument to h5_cleanup, in
the same style as h5_fixname. Removed "extern char *FILENAME..."
from use. Also, undo some unnecessary declaration of "char *FILENAME"
from some tests which don't use it at all (yet).
Platforms tested:
modi4-64(irix64), arabica(solari2.7), eirene(linux)
(arabica could not launch tests automatically. I had to hack
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make them run.)
Minor changes done to test/gass_xxx.c so that they print the
test skip message when GASS driver is not available.
This change is the implementation of GASS within HDF5-1.3 (HDF5 with Virtual
File Layer). The GASS driver gives the facility of accessing HDF files on
remote ftp servers. To use the GASS driver, the option --with-gass=<GASS path>
shoud be specified with configure. An example of the command line used to
test the distribution was:
./configure --disable-shared --without-hdf4
--with-gass=/afs/ncsa/projects/hdf/v5/bagchi/globus/GLB/development/sparc-sun-solaris2.6_nothreads_standard_debug/include,/afs/ncsa/projects/hdf/v5/bagchi/globus/GLB/development/sparc-sun-solaris2.6_nothreads_standard_debug/lib
--disable-parallel
The user should change the path to point to his local GASS installation.
Documentation about the features of GASS and the HDF-GASS design is available
separately and till it is put up on the official web site, anyone interested
may contact me.
Test programs to read, write or append remote files have been provided in the
test directory as "gass_read.c", "gass_write.c", "gass_append.c". The test
programs have the ftp site to access #define-d at the top of the file which
the user can change accordingly.
