new feature
Description:
h5ls was not tested
Solution:
Added a test script, testh5ls.sh, to give h5ls some tests.
Since the output from h5ls is sometime machine dependent (e.g.,
Datatypes), can not compare them with expected output. For now,
run it against various hdf5 binary files. If it exits with 0,
consider it passes.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64, eirene, arabica.
tidy it up
Description:
Change the variable names so that it looks more generic. Plan to
make it a generic script test template.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64-64, linux, solaris 2.7
Feature symmetry
Description:
A while ago I needed to get the 'type' of data being accessed during writes
to the VFL driver, so I put in code to get the information down there.
Albert asked for the same information during reads, so I've added that in.
Tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)

Bug fix
Description:
During a `reconfigure', it wasn't traversing the
subdirectories...
Solution:
Added a loop to the reconfigure logic to do just that.
Platforms tested:
NOT tested...
Change test files for increased maximum dimension constant.
Description:
space_overflow.c - added some simple error checking.
th5s.c - corrected test case for maximem dimensions to use correct file
and actually test what is supposed to be tested... :-)
th5s.h5 - regenerated with increased dimensions.
Platforms Tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Solaris 2.5 (baldric)
Increase constant for H5S_MAX_RANK from 31 -> 32
Description:
To better align the HDF5 library's maximum dimenions with HDF4 and netCDF,
the maximum number of dimensions has been increased to 32.
Platforms Tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Solaris 2.5 (baldric)
Purpose:
Added more Fortran tests
Description:
tH5A.f90 - attribute interface test
tH5I.f90 - identifier interface test
Solution:
Two new files were added to test H5A and H5I interfaces.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Linux
Purpose:
H5Aff.f90: Bug fix
Description:
Character string was not passed correctly from the user's application
to the write/read subroutines when buffer was decalred as assumed-shape
array.
Solution:
Declared date buffer to be assumed-size array.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Linux
Purpose:
H5fortran_flags.f90: Bug fix
Description:
Fortran H5I_* types had incorrect values.
Solution:
Fixed.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Linux
Bug fix.
Description:
When the maximum number of elements in a fixed size, free-list managed array
was allocated, the free-list code was writing off the end of the array.
Solution:
Changed definition of free-list managed arrays to allocate correct space for
the array.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.5 (baldric) w/Purify
Features, kind of.
Description:
Separated the MPI features test into its own independent
program so that it can be tested on its own without too
much HDF5 stuff involved.
Added automatic removal of temporary test files after
the tests completed.
Reduced the size of the dataset dimensions to avoid tripping
the SGI MPI problems of running out of internal mpi type entries.
Platforms tested:
O2K -64
Optimization for parallel I/O
Description:
When contiugous hyperslabs are defined (i.e. with the block=stride), the
library was only aggregating the hyperslabs together for the fastest
changing dimension.
Solution:
Add some extra code to detect when contiguous hyperslabs span more than one
row and output the entire contiguous section at once.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Bug Fix
Description:
the line:
#include <hdf5.h>
needed to be escaped to be seen in the browser.
Solution:
Changed to:
#include <hdf5.h>
Platforms tested:
Seen in Netscrape
Bug Fix
Description:
Sed was complaining about "filename expected" when trying to
generate the .in files. The problem stemmed from the script sed
was generating in the conftest.s1 file. It needed the DEPEND
filename which wasn't being set.
Solution:
Fixed so that we check if DEPEND is zero before trying to set if
(if not using a GNU make program) instead of testing if DEPEND
has a value in it...I copied this incorrectly from the main
library's configure.in file...my bad.
Platforms tested:
T3E
Adding new document links
Description:
Adding links to TechNotes/VFL.html and TechNotes/VFLfunc.html,
the new virtual file layer documents.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Code cleanup
Description:
There's been a compiler warning about modifying a 'const' object in the
H5T_copy routine for several years now, which a few users have reported.
Solution:
Removed call to sort the old datatype (the const object) and changed the
code to work with unsorted datatypes.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Bug fix
Description:
"Time" datatypes (H5T_UNIX_D*) were not being stored and retrieved in
the datatype object header message correctly.
Solution:
Store endian-ness and precision in the datatype object header message and
added test to continue to track them working correctly.
This fixes bug #512.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Adding new document
Description:
Adding VFL.html (Virtual File Layer) to HDF5 Technical Notes.
August 1999 version. Will be updated for R1.4 by developer.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Bug Fix
Description:
On some platforms, if you don't have . in your PATH, it won't
find the test program it's supposed to run.
Solution:
Changed instead to ./$$test so that it picks up the program in
the current directory.
Platforms tested:
Opus and Linux
Buglet Fix...kinda
Description:
The --enable-c++ flag is in there, but configure can't handle the
++ on the end.
Solution:
Changed it to --enable-cxx instead. N.B. This feature isn't
really needed yet since C++ isn't integrated with the library
proper.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
H5Sget_simple_extent_npoints return type is hsize_t and the error value is
0, but it is possible to have 0 points in a dataset with an unlimited
dimension, but no data written yet.
Solution:
Changed H5Sget_simple_extent_npoints return type to hssize_t and the error
value to -1
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Bug fix (bug #446)
Description:
H5Tget_offset return type was size_t and the error return value was 0, but
0 is also a valid successful return value.
Solution:
Changed the return type to int and the error return value to -1
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
1. fix multiple defination warnings at sgi platform
2. adding chunking information from hdf4 to hdf5 property list.
Description:
1. Orginally global varibles were defined at one header file and this
header file were included by other .c file and .h file so multiple warnings are
generated.
2. Chunking information was not included in the previous version.
Solution:
1. use "extern" to define global variables at h4toh5util.h file and define global variables
at h4toh5main.c
2. retrieve the chunking info from sdgetchunkinfo and GRgetchunkinfo and store these information
into hdf5 property list.

Bug fix
Description:
Non-portable constructs are causing make to fail on some machines.
Solution:
Replaced ":=" assignments with "=" assignments.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (baldric) & gmake
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) & make (a SYSV make)
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind) & make (a BSD make)
Bug fix.
Description:
Previously, it has been possible to dereference deleted objects in a file.
Obviously, this is incorrect and could cause all sorts of problems if the
object being dereferenced had been partially over-written with other
information. - This is documented in Bug #493.
Solution:
Check the link count for objects being dereferenced and don't allow any
objects with link counts of zero to be dereferenced.
This fixes bug #493.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Feature Missing
Description:
Generate the Dependencies files so modules are regenerated
correctly
Solution:
Handcoded the module. Hope it works.
Platforms tested:
Bug Fix
Description:
When doing a make clean, the H5fortran_types.f90 file would be
removed.
Solution:
Placed it in the DISTCLEAN macro instead of the CLEAN so that it
will stick around.
Platforms tested:
Purpose:
Fortran HPUX 11.00 port
Description:
Added Fortran stuff to the hpux11.00 file
Platforms tested:
Has not been tested yet. Will do it after this checkin on opus.
Bug fix
Description:
gmake check had been failing because of errors in the Makefile.
Solution:
Fixed it so that libtools.a got build first.
Platforms tested:
Eirene (Linux)
Bug fix (ID 419)
Description:
Converted strings class types (in dataset and attributes) to
HDF4 type of DFNT_INT8. Should have been DFNT_CHAR type.
Solution:
h5toh4.c:
Changed the HDF4 type from DFNT_INT8 to DFNT_CHAR type.
Converted all hdf5 strings (be it NULLTERM, NULLPAD, SPACEPAD)
all to fixed width space padded HDF4 DFNT_CHAR.
testh5toh4:
Added the testing of $HDF_NOCLEANUP before cleaning away the result files.
testfiles/Expected/tattr.hdf:
testfiles/Expected/tstr.hdf:
testfiles/Expected/tstr2.hdf:
Updated with the corrected DFNT_CHAR type.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Linux, Irix 6.5.
Purpose:
Just add a few lines so that it will not break windows platform.
Description:
netdb.h cannot be recognized by windows, use winsock.h in windows instead.
Solution:
adding the following lines at the beginning of H5FDstream.c.
If you don't like, you may do it in another way, just keep it work for windows.
#ifdef WIN32
> #include <winsock.h>
> #else
> #endif
Platforms tested:
I am only testing whether it will bother building objects on windows. I haven't tested whether it
will affect the testing results. Hopefully not.
windows 2000, eirene,arabica,gondolin,paz,opus.
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:
update windows project all.zip for development branch of hdf5
Description:
Now it can test h4toh5 and h5toh4 converters, at least for static case(non-dll lib.)
Solution:
1. For h4toh5 and h5toh4 converter to work, the platform must have both hdf4 and hdf5 libs.
For hdf4 it includes both hdf and mfhdf libs.
Besides this, WS2_32.LIB has to be included for recongizing symbols related to networking issues.
2. adding several new source files(h5FDlog.c etc) into all.dsw.
3. modify H5FDstream.c so that it bypasses netdb.h and other socket headers for win 32, instead
using winsock.h.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Purpose:
fix "zero memory" routine and change dimensional scale name size to MAX_DIM_NAME
Description:
change bzero into h4toh5_ZeroMemory
change dimensional scale name size(orginally MAX_NC_NAME) to MAX_DIM_NAME at converter.
Solution:
see description
Platforms tested:
arabica,baldric,gondolin(DEC),opus(HP 11),eirene(Linux),paz(IRIX6.5)
Purpose:
1. fix size of dimensional name list so that the size of dimensional name in dumper output
will not change because of different versions of hdf library(h4toh5util.h and h4toh5sds.c).
2. fix bzero routine for windows platform(h4toh5util.h,h4toh5util.c,h4toh5anno.c,h4toh5main.c,
h4toh5sds.c)
Description:
1. change the MAX_DIM_NAME into 276(MAX_NC_NAME +dimension group name) and hopefully we will
not expand the size of MAX_NC_NAME(currently 256) for a long time.
2. create a new routine(h4toh5_ZeroMemory) to zero out memory. Use ZeroMemory in windows and
bzero at UNIX.
Solution:
see Description.
Platforms tested:
LINUX(eirene),WINDOWS 2000, sun 5.6(baldric and arabica),HP-UX11(opus),DEC(gondolin),IRIX 6.5(paz).
Purpose:
Clarification of H5Fclose
Description:
RM_H5F.html / H5Fclose: Added note that all data is flushed to file.
Platforms tested:
Tested with IE 5.
Bug fix
Description:
The setting does not work for the --srcdir option as source file names
are hard set in the action lines.
Solution:
Changed the dependence targets to the form of *.lo and the action lines
would use the *.lo files. This way, *.lo files are created when
-srcdir option is used or not. Also added that they all depend on
the C hdf5 library.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 -64 with --srcdir
Bug fix
Description:
The setting does not work for the --src-dir option as source file names
are hard set in the action lines.
Solution:
Changed the dependence targets to the form of *.lo and the action lines
would use the *.lo files. This way, *.lo files are created when
-src-dir option is used or not.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 -64 (I knows it works for other platforms because
"'I know the hammer will drop when i let go'--Mr. Spock")
Bug Fix
Description:
I was relying on the PARALLEL macro to be "yes" or "no" all the
time. This isn't the case.
Solution:
Created the ADD_PARALLEL_FILES macro to do just this.
