Quincey Koziol 427ff7da28 [svn-r9727] Purpose:
Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)

Description:
    Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation.  So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.

    I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

Platforms tested:
    FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
    FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
    FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
    Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
    Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
    AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
    IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN
    Linux 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++

If an element of <code>maxdims</code> is

<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Sget_select_bounds</code> retrieves the coordinates of
the bounding box containing the current selection and places
them into user-supplied buffers.
<p>
The <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> buffers must be large
enough to hold the dataspace rank number of coordinates.
<p>
The bounding box exactly contains the selection.
I.e., if a 2-dimensional element selection is currently
defined as containing the points (4,5), (6,8), and (10,7),
then the bounding box will be (4, 5), (10, 8).
<p>
The bounding box calculation includes the current offset of the
selection within the dataspace extent.

return <code>FAIL</code>.

<code>num_elements</code> parameter.
<p>
The <code>coord</code> array is a two-dimensional array of
size <code><i>dataspace_rank</i></code> by <code>num_elements</code>
containing a list of of zero-based values specifying the
coordinates in the dataset of the selected elements.
The order of the element coordinates in the
<code>coord</code> array specifies the order in which
the array elements are iterated through when I/O is performed.
Duplicate coordinate locations are not checked for.
<p>
The selection operator <code>op</code> determines how the
new selection is to be combined with the previously existing
selection for the dataspace.
The following operators are supported:
<center>
<table width=90% border=0>
<tr><td valign=top>
<code>H5S_SELECT_SET</code>
</td><td valign=top>
Replaces the existing selection with the parameters from
this call.
Overlapping blocks are not supported with this operator.
<!-- </td></tr><tr><td valign=top>
<code>H5S_SELECT_OR</code>

<code>H5S_SELECT_PREPEND&nbsp;&nbsp;</code>

the selection ordering is reset to C array ordering.

to add to the current selected region for the dataspace

The <code>start</code>, <code>stride</code>, <code>count</code>,

</center>
<p>
The <code>start</code> array determines the starting coordinates
of the hyperslab to select.
<p>
The <code>stride</code> array chooses array locations
from the dataspace with each value in the <code>stride</code>
array determining how many elements to move in each dimension.
Setting a value in the <code>stride</code> array to 1 moves to
each element in that dimension of the dataspace; setting a value
of <code>2</code> in alocation in the <code>stride</code> array
moves to every other element in that dimension of the dataspace.
In other words, the <code>stride</code> determines the
number of elements to move from the <code>start</code> location
in each dimension.
Stride values of <code>0</code> are not allowed.
If the <code>stride</code> parameter is <code>NULL</code>,
a contiguous hyperslab is selected (as if each value in the
<code>stride</code> array were set to all 1's).
<p>
The <code>count</code> array determines how many blocks to
select from the dataspace, in each dimension.
<p>
The <code>block</code> array determines
the size of the element block selected from the dataspace.
If the <code>block</code> parameter is set to <code>NULL</code>,
the block size defaults to a single element in each dimension
(as if the <code>block</code> array were set to all
<code>1</code>'s).
<p>
For example, in a 2-dimensional dataspace, setting
<code>start</code> to [1,1],
<code>stride</code> to [4,4],
<code>count</code> to [3,7], and
<code>block</code> to [2,2]
selects 21 2x2 blocks of array elements starting with
location (1,1) and selecting blocks at locations
(1,1), (5,1), (9,1), (1,5), (5,5), etc.
<p>
Regions selected with this function call default to C order
iteration when I/O is performed.
