HDFFV-7514 - GMQS: h5dump - improve effectiveness of testing scripts for handling expected output files
Description:
Fist phase for h5dump test update. Next phase will be for h5ls.
This is prerequisite for 'HDFFV-7602 Tools - upgrade tools' test scripts to share test files among tools, providing framework for test file re-usability.'
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE), Cmake (jam)
h5dump new tests
Description:
added more tests for the escape/not escape feature for string data (with vlen, with
compound, with char data)
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
dumper new features
Description:
1) added options for not printing : datasets, groups, datatypes, links
2) added a section for the user block
3) in the traversal routine, added the printing of an arrow for soft links and t
he word HARDLINK for hardlinks
the print of the file contents is made during traversal , instead of at the e
nd of it (this is helpful
for very large files, where the wait time can be very long)
4) changed the description of the fill value properties
5) added a colon after the printing of the array indices
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
h5dump output change, new tests
Description:
the storage layout output format the storage layout output format had some changes
same for the user defined filter
add an option (-y) for not printing the array indices (default is print indices )
the option for escaping non printable characters covers all characters (default is not escape)
(this might be not very portable, the test files are tstring.ddl and tstringe.ddl )
add tests for the new options
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux

AIX
Misc. update:
h5dump update
Description:
updated the h5dump test files generator , so that it coincides with the 1.6 branch
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (small)
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
