Description: The Packet Table API used to have fixed-length and variable-length functions (i.e., H5PTcreate_fl and H5PTcreate_vl), but in 2006, the vlen functions were ifdef'ed out with VLPT_REMOVED, see HDFFV-442. The majority of this revision includes removing unused vlen stuff, adding various vlen tests, initial code cleanup, and first pass of commenting. Details: - Removed the VLPT_REMOVED ifdef, but keep H5PTis_varlen and the free function because they are useful or even needed, but the free function's name is changed to be more appropriate for both read/write buffers, i.e., H5PTfree_vlen_buff. - The new test file, test_packet_vlen.c, contains tests showing packet tables, containing various types of vlen data, can be created with the fixed-length function - Two accessor functions were added per HDFFV-8623/patch 003. /* Returns the ID of the dataset associated with the packet table */ hid_t H5PTget_dataset(hid_t table_id); /* Returns the ID of the datatype the packet table uses */ hid_t H5PTget_type(hid_t table_id); - Various cleanup: replacing 0/-1 with SUCCEED/FAIL and H5I_BADID with H5I_INVALID_HID, and removing many warnings. Platforms tested: Linux/32 2.6 (jam) Linux/64 (platypus) Darwin (osx1010test)
