Solaris users should use - gmake to build and install the HDF5 software. (AKC - 2013/10/08 - HDFFV-8534) - -* The C++ and FORTRAN bindings are not currently working on FreeBSD with the - native release 8.2 compilers (4.2.1), but are working with gcc 4.6 from the - ports (and probably gcc releases after that). - (QAK - 2012/10/19) - -* The following h5dump test case fails in BG/P machines (and potentially other - machines that use a command script to launch executables): - - h5dump --no-compact-subset -d "AHFINDERDIRECT::ah_centroid_t[0] it=0 tl=0" - tno-subset.h5 - - This is due to the embedded spaces in the dataset name being interpreted - by the command script launcher as meta-characters, thus passing three - arguments to h5dump's -d flag. The command passes if run by hand, just - not via the test script. - (AKC - 2012/05/03) - -* The STDIO VFD does not work on some architectures, possibly due to 32/64 - bit or large file issues. The basic STDIO VFD test is known to fail on - 64-bit SunOS 5.10 on SPARC when built with -m64 and 32-bit OS X/Darwin - 10.7.0.

The issue was exposed by a new test in the parallel - HDF5 test suite, but had existed before that. We believe the problem lies with - certain MPI implementations and/or file systems. - - We have provided a pure MPI test program, as well as a standalone HDF5 - program, that can be used to determine if this is an issue on your system. - They should be run across multiple nodes with a varying number of processes. - These programs can be found at: - http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/examples/known_problems/ - (NAF - 2011/01/19) - -* All the VFL drivers aren't backward compatible. In H5FDpublic.h, the - structure H5FD_class_t changed in 1.8. There is new parameter added to - get_eoa and set_eoa callback functions. A new callback function - get_type_map was added in. The public function H5FDrealloc was taken - out in 1.8. The problem only happens when users define their own driver - for 1.6 and try to plug in 1.8 library. Because there's only one user - complaining about it, we (Elena, Quincey, and I) decided to leave it as - it is (see bug report #1279). Quincey will make a plan for 1.10. - (SLU - 2010/02/02) - -* The --enable-static-exec configure flag will only statically link libraries - if the static version of that library is present. If only the shared version - of a library exists (i.e., most system libraries on Solaris, AIX, and Mac, - for example, only have shared versions), the flag should still result in a - successful compilation, but note that the installed executables will not be - fully static. Thus, the only guarantee on these systems is that the - executable is statically linked with just the HDF5 library. - (MAM - 2009/11/04) - -* A dataset created or rewritten with a v1.6.3 library or after cannot be read - with the v1.6.2 library or before when the Fletcher32 EDC filter is enabled. - There was a bug in the calculation of the Fletcher32 checksum in the - library before v1.6.3; the checksum value was not consistent between big- - endian and little-endian systems. This bug was fixed in Release 1.6.3. - However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value was no longer the same as - before on little-endian system.
