* commit 'bae744199b69eb7c3f5eda2441cca30cb8c6175f': Add more specific batch scripts. Add script raybsub to handle submitting .lsf files on ray with bsub < script.lsf syntax that we couldn't handle with CMake. Add hpc-cmake-tgz option for bin/release. Account info can be submitted as an argument to run the batch scripts. Special versions for sandia are not needed. Add HDF5options.cmake files for serial and parallel tests on HPC machines (where tests are to be run as batch jobs. Add README_HPC file with instructions for setting up configuration to use batch scripts for running tests on HPC machines and some pointers for cross compiling. Remove knl configuration from ctestS.sl.in.cmake. Add sandia batch files with account info. Add batch files with batch parameters specific to cori and ray. Release.txt entry for skipping long double dt_arith tests on ppc64.

New Features
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
-------------
|
|
- 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:
|
|
--------
|
|
- 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)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
------------
|
|
- New wrappers
|
|
|
|
Added the following items:
|
|
|
|
+ Class DSetAccPropList for the dataset access property list.
|
|
|
|
+ Wrapper for H5Dget_access_plist to class DataSet
|
|
// Gets the access property list of this dataset.
|
|
DSetAccPropList getAccessPlist() const;
|
|
|
|
+ Wrappers for H5Pset_chunk_cache and H5Pget_chunk_cache to class DSetAccPropList
|
|
// Sets the raw data chunk cache parameters.
|
|
void setChunkCache(size_t rdcc_nslots, size_t rdcc_nbytes, double rdcc_w0)
|
|
|
|
// Retrieves the raw data chunk cache parameters.
|
|
void getChunkCache(size_t &rdcc_nslots, size_t &rdcc_nbytes, double &rdcc_w0)
|
|
|
|
+ New operator!= to class DataType (HDFFV-10472)
|
|
// Determines whether two datatypes are not the same.
|
|
bool operator!=(const DataType& compared_type)
|
|
|
|
+ Wrappers for H5Oget_info2, H5Oget_info_by_name2, and H5Oget_info_by_idx2
|
|
(HDFFV-10458)
|
|
|
|
// Retrieves information about an HDF5 object.
|
|
void getObjinfo(H5O_info_t& objinfo, unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC) const;
|
|
|
|
// Retrieves information about an HDF5 object, given its name.
|
|
void getObjinfo(const char* name, H5O_info_t& objinfo,
|
|
unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC,
|
|
const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT) const;
|
|
void getObjinfo(const H5std_string& name, H5O_info_t& objinfo,
|
|
unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC,
|
|
const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT) const;
|
|
|
|
// Retrieves information about an HDF5 object, given its index.
|
|
void getObjinfo(const char* grp_name, H5_index_t idx_type,
|
|
H5_iter_order_t order, hsize_t idx, H5O_info_t& objinfo,
|
|
unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC,
|
|
const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT) const;
|
|
void getObjinfo(const H5std_string& grp_name, H5_index_t idx_type,
|
|
H5_iter_order_t order, hsize_t idx, H5O_info_t& objinfo,
|
|
unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC,
|
|
const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT) const;

|
|
|
|
|
|
Java Library:
|
|
----------------
|
|
- 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 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)
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
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.

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.

|
|
|
|
- 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.

|
|
|
|
- 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.

- 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.

|
|
- 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.

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.

|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
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.
