It seems that while Cygwin supports the time command, it has trouble with
the syntax
srcdir="../../hdf5/test" time ./testhdf5
and complains.
The solution is to test the above case in configure and not to use the time
command if it fails; Cygwin is fine with
srcdir="../../hdf5/test" ./testhdf5
Tested on Cygwin and kagiso. This feature shouldn't be a major compatibility
problem since every platform but Cygwin is already fine with the current
syntax.
The version of libtool used by HDF5 isn't directly affected by the reconfigure
script; instead, libtoolize --force must be used by hand. Libtool was the
source of the problem, so rolling its version back to 1.5.14 should solve the
issue (at least temporarily).
Reconfigure should still work on both heping and kagiso.
Tested on heping, kagiso, and tg-login3.
Added new example for datasets regions; it uses two new functions
H5Iget_name and H5Rget_name to get name of the dataset the region refernce points to.
Platforms tested:
heping
Should disable linking against shared libraries in Fortran for compilers that
don't support shared libraries.
Should also fix problem when the wrong Fortran file extension was specified.
If these changes don't solve the Daily Test issues, I'll look at backing out
the autotool version change until I have time to fix them.
Tested on heping, kagiso, juniper.
Change H5Pset_elink_prefix to be more similar to rest of library and make
a copy of the string passed in.
Change H5Pget_elink_prefix to be link rest of library routines that query
a string.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe & debugging turned on
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/build-all & 1.6 compat enabled
AIX/32 5.x (copper) w/FORTRAN & parallel
Refactor generic property list initialization code to put property list
specific routines in property list modules, instead of scattered to the four
winds. Also, introduce property list class initialization objects, to make
adding new property list classes in the library easier.
Fix daily test failure by using H5Pget_elink_prefix() API routine instead
of looking at the "raw" generic property list information.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.4.8 (amazon)
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/C++ & FORTRAN
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/build-all & 1.6 compat
the linkval buffer, per Elena and Frank's suggestions while revising
the documentation. Added error checking using this size, as well as a
couple of tests.
Tested on juniper, kagiso, and sol.
and quote its arguments. Also checks for the 'socket' library on
Solaris.
If this patch passes the Daily Tests and makes the user happy, I'll
port it back to the 1.6 branch.
Tested on mir and sol.
File format is not stable, don't keep files produced!
Description:
First stage of checkins modifying the format of groups to support creation
order. Implement "dense" storage for links in groups.
Try to clarify some of the symbols for the H5L API.
Add the H5Pset_latest_format() flag for FAPLs, to choose to use the newest
file format options (including "dense" link storage in groups)
Add the H5Pset_track_creation_order() flag for GCPLs, to enable creation
order tracking in groups (although no index on creation order yet).
Remove --enable-group-revision configure flag, as file format issues are
now handled in a backwardly/forwardly compatible way.
Clean up lots of compiler warnings and other minor formatting issues.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-v1.6 compa
Mac OSX/32 10.4.8 (amazon)
AIX 5.3 (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
Since these examples need to follow filesystem paths, the Makefiles need
to create directories in the examples directory; added this to the
Makefile.am.
Tested on Windows, mir, juniper
"make check-vfd" will now run all tests in the test directory with different
file drivers (at least, all of those tests that use the testing framework's
FAPL). Tests that fail will be skipped.
This is not a perfect fix, but is better than nothing.
Along with this change, check-vfd should be added to the Daily Tests.
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
Bug fix - bugzilla #552
Description:
On Cray X1, trying to use : as an argument confused the system.
Solution:
Added a test in configure to see if : as an argument is bad.
If so, skipped the test.
Platforms tested:
mir, Cray X1 (change to configure only)
Bug fix.
Description:
The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed
because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'.
The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr
but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather
clumsy.
Solution:
Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range
by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to
use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the
definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when
autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code.
The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from
configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay
because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti
using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.)
Misc. update:
Updated both INSTALL and RELEASE files.
Several bug fixes
Description:
Added config file for Cray X1 (previous file was misnamed)
Simplified some code in hyperslab.c test that seemed to have been
confusing compiler on Cray X1.
Fixed typo in config/commence.am
Cleaned up hl/src/Makefile.am
Solution:
All four fixes should be straightforward. The failure on Cray was
very difficult to debug, but involved arithmetic errors.
This change seems to fix it.
Platforms tested:
heping, copper, sol, some Cray X1 (more testing when system comes back up)
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
AIX
solaris
with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Previous checkin did a bad thing; 'make clean' failed in example directories.
Solution:
Fixed commence.am so that examples no longer break, and fixed a mistake
in conclude.am.
Platforms tested:
heping (minor makefile change)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
make check-clean didn't clean results of example tests
Solution:
Fixed Makefiles so that check-clean recurses into example directories.
Also a little Makefile cleanup.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, heping, copper
Description: h5_group example didn't work on VMS; it turned out
that a group was not closed and since the default
file close degree is "weak", file was not closed either.
When program attempted to open the same file, system reported
an error since the file was "locked by another user".
UNIX systems apperently do not care and open the same file
without any problem.
Solution: Added H5Gclose calls.
Platforms tested: VMS server and heping
Misc. update:
Added high-level example directories
Description:
Refactored common code out of examples Makefiles.am, added high-level
example directories, added packet table examples.
Solution:
Examples now draw from a common config/examples.am file, which
contains rules for installing, uninstalling, and cleaning examples.
High-level example directories are mostly empty, except for the
C and C++ packet table tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, copper, shanti
Bug fix
Description:
Fortran type generation was broken in two ways. Fixed both.
Solution:
Firstly, there were a couple of path problems. Fixed a typo and
specified the full path of a file.
Secondly, the dependencies weren't right when building with HDF5-specific
commands (make lib, make check-s, etc.). Tweaked dependencies
to fix the problem.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, sleipnir
Configure feature
Description:
Added 'make trace' target.
Solution:
Added tracing to 1.7. This was done automatically in 1.6, but left out
of 1.7 until now (oops!).
Tracing in 1.7 only happens manually, when the user types 'make trace.'
Tracing automatically requires more framework than it's worth.
I also fixed a couple of tracing bugs and ran trace.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Before this checkin, 'gmake check-s' would fail if there was a file in
the current directory named 'check-s'.
This is fixed under gmake (not sure how to fix for other makes).
Solution:
check, progs, install, etc. are what gmake calls "phony" targets,
which means that no file should be created. These targets can be
specified by a line of the form
.PHONY: check progs install ...
Automake adds this line for targets it knows about, but HDF5 has a
lot of custom rules. This checkin adds a .PHONY line for those rules.
I believe that only gmake recognizes the .PHONY line (at least, pmake
doesn't seem to), but a partial solution is better than none.
This error should occur very rarely anyway (the user has to manually
create files with names like 'build-check-s' or '_test').
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up
to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created
with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not
be able to read your old files!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Added support for -shlib in h5fc and h5c++.
Made check-install use -shlib when only shared libraries have been installed.
Solution:
h5fc and h5c++ didn't recognize -shlib. Stole code from h5cc to link against
shared libraries.
When static libraries are disabled, the examples Makefiles will automatically
use the -shlib option to link against shared libraries. Thus,
--disable-static and make check-install should work together.
Platforms tested:
heping(disable-static, enable-static, fortran, c++), modi4 (disable-static, fortran, c++, parallel, enable-static)
Bug fix
Description:
Failed parallel tests now cause make to exit with an error.
Solution:
Edited config/conclude.am to throw an error if parallel test programs fail.
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4
Bug fix
Description:
Changed configure.in to use an environment variable TR to set the path
to the tr utility.
Solution:
There are two kind of tr on Solaris with slightly different syntax.
HDF5's configure relies on the "standard" tr. Traditionally, HDF5ers
have needed to make sure that the "right" tr was found before the
wrong one in their path; now they can use an environment variable.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sol
Misc. update:
Forgot to update release notes. Off to do that now.
Makefile bug fix
Description:
Previously, automake didn't output rules to build perform/mpi-perf or
the test/gen_* programs.
Now these can be built by typing 'make mpi-perf' (or 'make foo') or by
configuring with --enable-build-all.
Solution:
Automake doesn't like having rules for programs it doesn't build. Tricked
it by having these programs built "sometimes"--whenever the user enables
--build-all. This should be used mostly for testing and to ensure that
these helper programs compile.
***IMPORTANT***
These programs do *not* currently compile. When --enable-build-all is used
(not the default), gen_new_fill fails because it uses an old API. This is
an existing "bug" that has simply been exposed by this checkin.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
When a parallel test script test fails, make would continue because the
way it was setup inside a for loop. Fixed it by issuing an exit 1 inside
the loop.
There was also a typo error in the newer command comparision that it
must be $${chkname} in order to be valid. Also, the test script itself
was not checked in the newer lists. All fixed.
Platforms tested:
h5committested and also hand tested in heping pp mode.
Repair synchronization bug in the metadata cache in PHDF5
Also repair numerous other bugs that surfaced in testing the
bug fix.
Description:
While operations modifying metadata must be collective, we allow
independant reads. This allows metadata caches on different processes
to adjust to different sizes, and to place the entries on their dirty
lists in different orders. Since only process 0 actually writes
metadata to disk (all other processes thought they did, but the writes
were discarded on the theory that they had to be collective), this made
it possible for another process to modify metadata, flush it, and then
read it back in in its original form (pre-modification) form. The
possibilities for file corruption should be obvious.
Solution:
Make the policy that only process 0 can write to file explicit, and
visible to the metadata caches. Thus only process 0 may flush dirty
entries -- all other caches must retain dirty entries until they are
informed by process 0 that the entries are clean.
Synchronization is handled by counting the bytes of dirty cache entries
created, and then synching up between the caches whenever the sum
exceeds an (eventually user specified) limit. Dirty metadata creation
is consistent across all processes because all operations modifying
metadata must be collective.
This change uncovered may bugs which are repaired in this checkin.
It also required modification of H5HL and H5O to allocate file space
on insertion rather than on flush from cache.
Platforms tested:
H5committest, heping(parallel & serial)
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Added the time command to the make check target to report time usage
of the execute of each test and test scripts. This gives us some idea
how long each test takes and some vague idea it is compute bound or
not.
powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
Change $RUNPARALLEL default setting to allow it being invoked by the
time command.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Feature
Description:
Added H5_CFLAGS, etc. to 1.7 branch.
Now compilation flags can be put in H5_*FLAGS and they'll be used when
building hdf5 but not in h5cc.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Disabled C++ shared libraries for Sun Workshop compiler.
Solution:
This bug only seems to happen when using the -xarch=v9 flag to compile in
64-bit mode, but disabling shared libraries entirely for this compiler is
an easier fix (I don't know how to detect 64 bit mode from the command line).
The framework for disabling shared libraries for other C++ compilers is
in place.
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't
support them.
This allows other compilers to support shared Fortran libraries.
Solution:
Added a conditional, SHARED_FORTRAN_CONDITIONAL, which is true if
Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
bug fix.
Description:
In Janus (Tflops), the test would seg-fault in production (compiled
with -O). If compiled with -O0, it would be okay. Track down the
problem to the for loop index i & j being declared with type hsize_t
which is usually unsigned long int. Guess the Tflop compiler has
a bug in optimization that could not handle unsigned int as for loop
index.
Solution:
Since it is no need for i & j to be hsize_t and it makes more
sense to have them with type int. Changed them to int type.
Platforms tested:
Passed in tflops and colonelk here.
tidy up.
Description:
MPE option created *.clog file whenever it is executed in MPI.
The cleanup of *.clog files were done in individual Makefile.in.
Often, it is forgotten.
Solution:
Moved the cleaning of *.clog files to CHECK_CLEANFILES in commence.am
so that it is applied whenever check-clean is called.
Platforms tested:
heping pp using MPE.
Bug fixes
Description:
This checkin fixes an occasional error on kelgia on sol during distclean.
It also causes test scripts to depend properly on the programs they're
supposed to be testing.
Solution:
The kelgia bug was due to some files being cleaned by automake and manually.
Removed the manual cleaning in src/Makefile.am.
Test script dependencies now need to be specified manually, since the
makefile can't guess what they test from their name. Currently all test
scripts in a given directory have a single list of dependencies--this was
easy and seems to be sufficient.
These dependencies are listed in the SCRIPT_DEPEND variable in the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
minor tidy up.
Description:
Changed both test programs and test scripts to use the same suffixes
(.chkexe and .chklog). Changed from .log to .chklog to avoid running
into potential conflicts by other "things" (e.g., config.log).
Tested:
Heping.
