Dana Robinson c6e21cede7 Merge pull request #1748 in HDFFV/hdf5 from ~DEROBINS/hdf5_der:links_iterate_zero_bug to develop 
* commit '0a75da70a61d41a0bf20a5c617f3eb678ed0b103':
  Yanked qsort assert
  Switched to HGOTO_DONE() in the links code.
  Updated the HDqsort() macro to ensure we don't pass NULL buffers to qsort(3) in the future.
  Fixed a bug in the links code where iterating over an empty group would pass a NULL pointer to qsort(3), which is undefined behavior.

New Features
============
Configuration:
-------------
- Add option to build only shared libs
A request was made to prevent building static libraries and only build
shared. A new option was added to CMake, ONLY_SHARED_LIBS, which will
skip building static libraries. Certain utility functions will build with
static libs but are not published. Tests are adjusted to use the correct
libraries.
(ADB - 2019/06/12, HDFFV-10805)
- Add options to enable or disable building tools and tests
Configure options --enable-tests and --enable-tools were added for
autotools configure. These options are enabled by default, and can be
disabled with either --disable-tests (or tools) or --enable-tests=no
(or --enable-tools=no). Build time is reduced ~20% when tools are
disabled, 35% when tests are disabled, 45% when both are disabled.
Reenabling them after the initial build requires running configure
again with the option(s) enabled.
(LRK - 2019/06/12, HDFFV-9976)
- Change tools test that test the error stack
There are some use cases which can cause the error stack of tools to be
different then the expected. These tests now use grepTest.cmake, this was
changed to allow the error file to be searched for an expected string.
(ADB - 2019/04/15, HDFFV-10741)
- Keep stderr and stdout separate in tests
Changed test handling of output capture. Tests now keep the stderr
output separate from the stdout output. It is up to the test to decide
which output to check against a reference. Also added the option
to grep for a string in either output.
(ADB - 2018/12/12, HDFFV-10632)
- Add toolchain and cross-compile support
Added info on using a toolchain file to INSTALL_CMAKE.txt. A
toolchain file is also used in cross-compiling, which requires
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to be set. To help with cross-compiling
the fortran configure process, the HDF5UseFortran.cmake file macros
were improved. Fixed a Fortran configure file issue that incorrectly
used #cmakedefine instead of #define.
(ADB - 2018/10/04, HDFFV-10594)
- Add warning flags for Intel compilers
Identified Intel compiler specific warnings flags that should be used
instead of GNU flags.
(ADB - 2018/10/04, TRILABS-21)
- Add default rpath to targets
Default rpaths should be set in shared executables and
libraries to allow the use of loading dependent libraries
without requiring LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set. The default
path should be relative using @rpath on osx and $ORIGIN
on linux. Windows is not affected.
(ADB - 2018/09/26, HDFFV-10594)
- Add missing USE_110_API_DEFAULT option.
Option USE_110_API_DEFAULT sets the default version of
versioned APIs. The bin/makevers perl script did not set
the maxidx variable correctly when the 1.10 branch was
created. This caused the versioning process to always use
the latest version of any API.
(ADB - 2018/08/17, HDFFV-10552)
- Added configuration checks for the following MPI functions:
MPI_Mprobe - Used for the Parallel Compression feature
MPI_Imrecv - Used for the Parallel Compression feature
MPI_Get_elements_x - Used for the "big Parallel I/O" feature
MPI_Type_size_x - Used for the "big Parallel I/O" feature
(JTH - 2018/08/02, HDFFV-10512)
- Added section to the libhdf5.settings file to indicate
the status of the Parallel Compression and "big Parallel I/O"
features.
(JTH - 2018/08/02, HDFFV-10512)
- Add option to execute swmr shell scripts from CMake.
Option TEST_SHELL_SCRIPTS redirects processing into a
separate ShellTests.cmake file for UNIX types. The tests
execute the shell scripts if a SH program is found.
(ADB - 2018/07/16)
Library:
--------
- Improved the performance of virtual dataset I/O
Refactored the internal dataspace routines used by the virtual dataset
code to improve performance, especially when one of the selections
involved is very long and non-contiguous.
(NAF - 2019/05/31, HDFFV-10693)
- Allow pre-generated H5Tinit.c and H5make_libsettings.c to be used.
Rather than always running H5detect and generating H5Tinit.c and
H5make_libsettings.c, supply a location for those files.
(ADB - 2018/09/18, HDFFV-10332)
- Remove H5I_REFERENCE from the library
This ID class was never used by the library and has been removed.
(DER - 2018/12/08, HDFFV-10252)
- Added the ability to open files with UTF-8 file names on Windows.
The POSIX open(2) API call on Windows is limited to ASCII
file names. The library has been updated to convert incoming file
names to UTF-16 (via MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, ...) and use
_wopen() instead.
(DER - 2019/03/15, HDFFV-2714, HDFFV-3914, HDFFV-3895, HDFFV-8237, HDFFV-10413, HDFFV-10691)
Parallel Library:
-----------------
- Changed the default behavior in parallel when reading the same dataset in its entirely
(i.e. H5S_ALL dataset selection) which is being read by all the processes collectively.
The dataset mush be contiguous, less than 2GB, and of an atomic datatype.
The new behavior is the HDF5 library will use an MPI_Bcast to pass the data read from
the disk by the root process to the remain processes in the MPI communicator associated
with the HDF5 file.
(MSB - 2019/01/02, HDFFV-10652)
Fortran Library:
----------------
- Added new Fortran derived type, c_h5o_info_t, which is interoperable with
C's h5o_info_t. This is needed for callback functions which
pass C's h5o_info_t data type definition.
(MSB, 2019/01/08, HDFFV-10443)
- Added new Fortran API, H5gmtime, which converts (C) 'time_t' structure
to Fortran DATE AND TIME storage format.
(MSB, 2019/01/08, HDFFV-10443)
- Added new Fortran 'fields' optional parameter to: h5ovisit_f, h5oget_info_by_name_f,
h5oget_info, h5oget_info_by_idx and h5ovisit_by_name_f.
(MSB, 2019/01/08, HDFFV-10443)
C++ Library:
------------
- Added new wrapper for H5Ovisit2()
H5Object::visit()
(BMR - 2019/02/14, HDFFV-10532)
- Added new wrappers for H5Pset/get_create_intermediate_group()
LinkCreatPropList::setCreateIntermediateGroup()
LinkCreatPropList::getCreateIntermediateGroup()
(BMR - 2019/04/22, HDFFV-10622)
Java Library:
----------------
- Fix a failure in JUnit-TestH5P on 32-bit architectures
(JTH - 2019/04/30)
- Duplicate the data read/write functions of Datasets for Attributes.
Region references could not be displayed for attributes as they could
for datasets. Datasets had overloaded read and write functions for different
datatypes that were not available for attributes. After adding similar
functions, attribute region references work normally.
(ADB - 2018/12/12, HDFVIEW-4)
- Removed H5I_REFERENCE from the Java wrappers
This ID class was never used by the library and has been removed
from the Java wrappers.

Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.3 release
==================================
Library
-------
- Fixed an issue where copying a version 1.8 dataset between files using
H5Ocopy fails due to an incompatible fill version
When using the HDF5 1.10.x H5Ocopy() API call to copy a version 1.8
dataset to a file created with both high and low library bounds set to
H5F_LIBVER_V18, the H5Ocopy() call will fail with the error stack indicating
that the fill value version is out of bounds.
This was fixed by changing the fill value message version to H5O_FILL_VERSION_3
(from H5O_FILL_VERSION_2) for H5F_LIBVER_V18.
(VC - 2019/6/14, HDFFV-10800)
- Fixed a bug that would cause an error or cause fill values to be
incorrectly read from a chunked dataset using the "single chunk" index if
the data was held in cache and there was no data on disk.
(NAF - 2019/03/06)
- Fixed a bug that could cause an error or cause fill values to be
incorrectly read from a dataset that was written to using H5Dwrite_chunk
if the dataset was not closed after writing.
(NAF - 2019/03/06, HDFFV-10716)
- Fixed memory leak in scale offset filter
In a special case where the MinBits is the same as the number of bits in
the datatype's precision, the filter's data buffer was not freed, causing
the memory usage to grow. In general the buffer was freed correctly. The
Minbits are the minimal number of bits to store the data values. Please
see the reference manual for H5Pset_scaleoffset for the detail.
(RL - 2019/3/4, HDFFV-10705)
- Fix hangs with collective metadata reads during chunked dataset I/O
In the parallel library, it was discovered that when a particular
sequence of operations following a pattern of:
"write to chunked dataset" -> "flush file" -> "read from dataset"
occurred with collective metadata reads enabled, hangs could be
observed due to certain MPI ranks not participating in the collective
metadata reads.
To fix the issue, collective metadata reads are now disabled during
chunked dataset raw data I/O.
(JTH - 2019/02/11, HDFFV-10563, HDFFV-10688)
- Performance issue when closing an object
The slow down is due to the search of the "tag_list" to find
out the "corked" status of an object and "uncork" it if so.
Improve porformance by skipping the search of the "tag_list"
if there are no "corked" objects when closing an object.
(VC - 2019/2/6)
- Fixed a potential invalid memory access and failure that could occur when
decoding an unknown object header message (from a future version of the
library).
(NAF - 2019/01/07)
- Deleting attributes in dense storage
The library aborts with "infinite loop closing library" after
attributes in dense storage are created and then deleted.
When deleting the attribute nodes from the name index v2 B-tree,
if an attribute is found in the intermediate B-tree nodes,
which may be merged/redistributed in the process, we need to
free the dynamically allocated spaces for the intermediate
decoded attribute.
(VC - 2018/12/26, HDFFV-10659)
- Allow H5detect and H5make_libsettings to take a file as an argument.
Rather than only writing to stdout, add a command argument to name
the file that H5detect and H5make_libsettings will use for output.
Without an argument, stdout is still used, so backwards compatibility
is maintained.
(ADB - 2018/09/05, HDFFV-9059)
- A bug was discovered in the parallel library where an application
would hang if a collective read/write of a chunked dataset occurred
when collective metadata reads were enabled and some of the ranks
had no selection in the dataset's dataspace. The ranks which had no
selection in the dataset's dataspace called H5D__chunk_addrmap() to
retrieve the lowest chunk address in the dataset. This is because we
require reads/writes to be performed in strictly non-decreasing order
of chunk address in the file.
When the chunk index used was a version 1 or 2 B-tree, these
non-participating ranks would issue a collective MPI_Bcast() call
that the participating ranks would not issue, causing the hang. Since
the non-participating ranks are not actually reading/writing anything,
the H5D__chunk_addrmap() call can be safely removed and the address used
for the read/write can be set to an arbitrary number (0 was chosen).
(JTH - 2018/08/25, HDFFV-10501)
- When iterating over an old-style group (i.e., when not using the latest
file format) of size 0, a NULL pointer representing the empty links
table would be sent to qsort(3) for sorting, which is undefined behavior.
Iterating over an empty group is explicitly tested in the links test.
This has not caused any failures to date and was flagged by gcc's
-fsanitize=undefined.
The library no longer attempts to sort an empty array.
(DER - 2019/06/18, HDFFV-10829)
Java Library:
----------------
- JNI native library dependencies
The build for the hdf5_java native library used the wrong
hdf5 target library for CMake builds. Correcting the hdf5_java
library to build with the shared hdf5 library required testing
paths to change also.
(ADB - 2018/08/31, HDFFV-10568)
- Java iterator callbacks
Change global callback object to a small stack structure in order
to fix a runtime crash. This crash was discovered when iterating
through a file with nested group members. The global variable
visit_callback is overwritten when recursion starts. When recursion
completes, visit_callback will be pointing to the wrong callback method.
(ADB - 2018/08/15, HDFFV-10536)
- Java HDFLibraryException class
Change parent class from Exception to RuntimeException.
(ADB - 2018/07/30, HDFFV-10534)
- JNI Read and Write
Refactored variable-length functions, H5DreadVL and H5AreadVL,
to correct dataset and attribute reads. New write functions,
H5DwriteVL and H5AwriteVL, are under construction.
(ADB - 2018/06/02, HDFFV-10519)

Fortran
--------
- Added symbolic links libhdf5_hl_fortran.so to libhdf5hl_fortran.so and
libhdf5_hl_fortran.a to libhdf5hl_fortran.a in hdf5/lib directory for
autotools installs. These were added to match the name of the files
installed by cmake and the general pattern of hl lib files. We will
change the names of the installed lib files to the matching name in
the next major release.
(LRK - 2019/01/04, HDFFV-10596)
- Made Fortran specific subroutines PRIVATE in generic procedures.
Effected generic procedures were functions in H5A, H5D, H5P, H5R and H5T.
(MSB, 2018/12/04, HDFFV-10511)
- Fixed issue with Fortran not returning h5o_info_t field values
meta_size%attr%index_size and meta_size%attr%heap_size.

(JTH, 2019/2/7)
Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.2 release
==================================
Library
-------
- Java HDF5LibraryException class
The error minor and major values would be lost after the
constructor executed.
Created two local class variables to hold the values obtained during
execution of the constructor. Refactored the class functions to retrieve
the class values rather then calling the native functions.
The native functions were renamed and called only during execution
of the constructor.
Added error checking to calling class constructors in JNI classes.
(ADB - 2018/08/06, HDFFV-10544)
- Added checks of the defined MPI_VERSION to guard against usage of
MPI-3 functions in the Parallel Compression and "big Parallel I/O"
features when HDF5 is built with MPI-2. Previously, the configure
step would pass but the build itself would fail when it could not
locate the MPI-3 functions used.
As a result of these new checks, HDF5 can again be built with MPI-2,
but the Parallel Compression feature will be disabled as it relies
on the MPI-3 functions used.
(JTH - 2018/08/02, HDFFV-10512)
- User's patches: CVEs

- H5Adelete
H5Adelete failed when deleting the last "large" attribute that
is stored densely via fractal heap/v2 b-tree.
After removing the attribute, update the ainfo message. If the
number of attributes goes to zero, remove the message.
(VC - 2018/07/20, HDFFV-9277)
- A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused partial
parallel reads of filtered datasets to return incorrect data. The
library used the incorrect dataspace for each chunk read, causing
the selection used in each chunk to be wrong.
The bug was not caught during testing because all of the current
tests which do parallel reads of filtered data read all of the data
using an H5S_ALL selection. Several tests were added which exercise
partial parallel reads.
(JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10467)
- A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused parallel
writes of filtered datasets to trigger an assertion failure in the
file free space manager.
This occurred when the filter used caused chunks to repeatedly shrink
and grow over the course of several dataset writes. The previous chunk
information, such as the size of the chunk and the offset in the file,
was being cached and not updated after each write, causing the next write
to the chunk to retrieve the incorrect cached information and run into
issues when reallocating space in the file for the chunk.
(JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10509)
- A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused the
H5D__mpio_array_gatherv() function to allocate too much memory.
When the function is called with the 'allgather' parameter set
to a non-true value, the function will receive data from all MPI
ranks and gather it to the single rank specied by the 'root'
parameter. However, the bug in the function caused memory for
the received data to be allocated on all MPI ranks, not just the
singular rank specified as the receiver. In some circumstances,
this would cause an application to fail due to the large amounts
of memory being allocated.
(JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10467)
- Error checks in h5stat and when decoding messages
h5stat exited with seg fault/core dumped when
errors are encountered in the internal library.
Add error checks and --enable-error-stack option to h5stat.
Add range checks when decoding messages: old fill value, old
layout and refcount.
(VC - 2018/07/11, HDFFV-10333)
- If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound datatype with a
suitably large offset, the type conversion code can run off
the end of the type conversion buffer, causing a segmentation
fault.
This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17507.
NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
or a file created by third-party software.
THE HDF GROUP WILL NOT FIX THIS BUG AT THIS TIME
Fixing this problem would involve updating the publicly visible
H5T_conv_t function pointer typedef and versioning the API calls
which use it. We normally only modify the public API during
major releases, so this bug will not be fixed at this time.
(DER - 2018/02/26, HDFFV-10356)
Configuration
-------------
- Applied patches to address Cywin build issues
There were three issues for Cygwin builds:
- Shared libs were not built.
- The -std=c99 flag caused a SIG_SETMASK undeclared error.
- Undefined errors when buildbing test shared libraries.
Patches to address these issues were received and incorporated in this version.
(LRK - 2018/07/18, HDFFV-10475)
- Moved the location of gcc attribute.
The gcc attribute(no_sanitize), named as the macro HDF_NO_UBSAN,
was located after the function name. Builds with GCC 7 did not
indicate any problem, but GCC 8 issued errors. Moved the
attribute before the function name, as required.
(ADB - 2018/05/22, HDFFV-10473)
- Reworked java test suite into individual JUnit tests.
Testing the whole suite of java unit tests in a single JUnit run
made it difficult to determine actual failures when tests would fail.
Running each file set of tests individually, allows individual failures
to be diagnosed easier. A side benefit is that tests for optional components
of the library can be disabled if not configured.
(ADB - 2018/05/16, HDFFV-9739)
- Converted CMake global commands ADD_DEFINITIONS and INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
to use target_* type commands. This change modernizes the CMake usage
in the HDF5 library.
In addition, there is the intention to convert to generator expressions,
where possible. The exception is Fortran FLAGS on Windows Visual Studio.
The HDF macros TARGET_C_PROPERTIES and TARGET_FORTRAN_PROPERTIES have
been removed with this change in usage.
The additional language (C++ and Fortran) checks have also been localized
to only be checked when that language is enabled.

Testing
-------
- The dt_arith test failed on IBM Power8 and Power9 machines when testing
conversions from or to long double types, especially when special values
such as infinity or NAN were involved. In some cases the results differed
by extremely small amounts from those on other machines, while some other
tests resulted in segmentation faults. These conversion tests with long
double types have been disabled for ppc64 machines until the problems are
better understood and can be properly addressed.

Known Problems
==============
CMake files do not behave correctly with paths containing spaces.
Do not use spaces in paths because the required escaping for handling spaces
results in very complex and fragile build files.
ADB - 2019/05/07
At present, metadata cache images may not be generated by parallel
applications. Parallel applications can read files with metadata cache
images, but since this is a collective operation, a deadlock is possible
if one or more processes do not participate.
Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files
in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to
help@hdfgroup.org.
CMake vs. Autotools installations
=================================
While both build systems produce similar results, there are differences.
Each system produces the same set of folders on linux (only CMake works
on standard Windows); bin, include, lib and share. Autotools places the
COPYING and RELEASE.txt file in the root folder, CMake places them in
the share folder.
The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake
creates dynamic versions of the tools with the suffix "-shared". Autotools
installs one set of tools depending on the "--enable-shared" configuration
option.
build scripts
-------------
Autotools: h5c++, h5cc, h5fc
CMake: h5c++, h5cc, h5hlc++, h5hlcc
The include folder holds the header files and the fortran mod files. CMake
places the fortran mod files into separate shared and static subfolders,
while Autotools places one set of mod files into the include folder. Because
CMake produces a tools library, the header files for tools will appear in
the include folder.
The lib folder contains the library files, and CMake adds the pkgconfig
subfolder with the hdf5*.pc files used by the bin/build scripts created by
the CMake build. CMake separates the C interface code from the fortran code by
creating C-stub libraries for each Fortran library. In addition, only CMake
installs the tools library. The names of the szip libraries are different
between the build systems.
The share folder will have the most differences because CMake builds include
a number of CMake specific files for support of CMake's find_package and support
for the HDF5 Examples CMake project.
