Dana Robinson 6db28d6f9f Remove bin/cmakehdf5
This was an unsupported build script to make building the library
with CMake look like building it with the Autotools. It hasn't been
maintained in a long time and we've had it marked as deprecated for
years.

Scripts in bin and their purpose

Programs run via autogen.sh (or the equivalent in CMake) are indicated.

Program Purpose
buildhdf5 Convenience script to build HDF5 using the Autotools
checkapi Checks if public API calls are used in internal functions
chkcopyright Checks if files have appropriate copyright statements
debug-ohdr Examines debug output from H5O_open/close to look for open objects
format_source Runs clang-format over the source files, applying our rules
genparser Creates the flex/bison-based parser files in the high-level library
h5cc.in Input file from which h5cc is created
h5redeploy.in Input file from which h5redeploy is created
h5vers Updates the library version number
make_err Generates the H5E header files (called in autogen.sh)
make_vers Generates H5version.h (called in autogen.sh)
make_overflow Generates H5overflow.h (called in autogen.sh)
output_filter Used in the tools test code to strip extraneous output before we diff files
restore.sh Removes files generated by autogen.sh
runbkprog Used by CMake to run test programs in the background
switch_maint_mode Switches maintainer mode on/off in configure.ac
trace Updates H5ARG_TRACE macros in H5ES_insert() calls (run by autogen.sh)
warnhist Generates compiler warning statistics for gcc/clang when fed output of make

TODO

  • chkcopyright is currently semi-broken as it doesn't handle the full variety of copyright headers we need. We're leaving it in place, though, in the hopes that someone will update it in the future.
  • Extending warnhist to better understand the output of additional compilers/languages would be nice.
