Reduce the run time of the cache tests. Description: Some of the cache tests run for quite a while, which has been causing problems with our daily build and test. In my last modification to cache.c, I added code to skip these stress tests unless we were building in production mode. Since things go faster in production mode, the extra tests are not a major problem here. However, this means that the stress tests are only run once or twice a week. Solution: To try to deal with this, I modified the four longest tests to throttle depending on whether NDEBUG is defined. When NDEBUG is not defined, runtime for the cache tests should be about 1/5th its regular run time. We will see if this is enough of a reduction to avoid problems. There is some doubt in my mind as to just how much good the throttled tests do, but they should be better than nothing. As mentioned before, the correct solution is to build some proper, random test code. Platforms tested: h5committested production and debug builds on heping. Misc. update:
HDF5 version 1.7.45 currently under development
Please refer to the release_docs/INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library. The INSTALL* files can be found in the release_docs/ directory.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that directory.
Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.
hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
other users.
hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
with developers and other interested parties.
hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
not a discussion list.
hdf5cvs - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
not a discussion list.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5
Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".
Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.
