Bug fix
Description:
Was not able to handle data size (file size) larger than 32bits.
Was using long, which is only 4 bytes big in SP, thus overflowing
into negative when trying to address 2GB or larger.
Solution:
Changed those variables involved in file size/offset calculation
to type off_t. (If a certain system/compiler has off_t defined
as 4 bytes, it can't write to file size larger than 2GB anyway.)
Note that the lseek of SP with -D_LARGE_FILE still fails for
offset larger than 2GB (works for 2GB). That has to be fixed
soon.
Platforms tested:
burrwhite (linux 2.4) and modi4 parallel.
HDF5 version 1.5.28 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 dictectory.
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.
The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/
Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
