First, code size is larger because of extra + statically-declared character strings used to store argument + types and names and extra auto variable pointer in each + function. Also, execution is slower because each function sets + and tests a local variable and each API function calls the + <code>H5_trace()</code> function. + + </p><p>If tracing is enabled and turned on then the penalties from the + previous paragraph apply plus the time required to format each + line of tracing information. There is also an extra call to + H5_trace() for each API function to print the return value. + + </p><h3>Safety</h3> + + <p>The tracing mechanism is invoked for each API function before + arguments are checked for validity. If bad arguments are passed + to an API function it could result in a segmentation fault. + However, the tracing output is line-buffered so all previous + output will appear. + + </p><h3>Completeness</h3> + + <p>There are two API functions that don't participate in + tracing. They are <code>H5Eprint()</code> and + <code>H5Eprint_cb()</code> because their participation would + mess up output during automatic error reporting. + + </p><p>On the other hand, a number of API functions are called during + library initialization and they print tracing information. + + </p><h3>Implementation</h3> + + <p>For those interested in the implementation here is a + description. Each API function should have a call to one of the + <code>H5TRACE()</code> macros immediately after the + <code>FUNC_ENTER()</code> macro. The first argument is the + return type encoded as a string. The second argument is the + types of all the function arguments encoded as a string. The + remaining arguments are the function arguments. This macro was + designed to be as terse and unobtrousive as possible. + + </p><p>In order to keep the <code>H5TRACE()</code> calls synchronized + with the source code we've written a perl script which gets + called automatically just before Makefile dependencies are + calculated for the file. However, this only works when one is + using GNU make. To reinstrument the tracing explicitly, invoke + the <code>trace</code> program from the hdf5 bin directory with + the names of the source files that need to be updated. If any + file needs to be modified then a backup is created by appending + a tilde to the file name. + + </p><p> + </p><center> + <table border="" align="center" width="100%"> + <caption align="top"><b>Explicit Instrumentation</b></caption> + <tbody><tr> + <td> + <code><pre> +$ ../bin/trace *.c +H5E.c: in function `H5Ewalk_cb': +H5E.c:336: warning: trace info was not inserted + </pre></code> + </td> + </tr> + </tbody></table> + </center> + + <p>Note: The warning message is the result of a comment of the + form <code>/*NO TRACE*/</code> somewhere in the function + body.

The permanent filter pipeline is + defned when the dataset is created while the transient pipeline + is defined for each I/O operation. During an + <code>H5Dwrite()</code> the transient filters are applied first + in the order defined and then the permanent filters are applied + in the order defined. For an <code>H5Dread()</code> the + opposite order is used: permanent filters in reverse order, then + transient filters in reverse order. An <code>H5Dread()</code> + must result in the same amount of data for a chunk as the + original <code>H5Dwrite()</code>. + + </p><p>The permanent filter pipeline is defined by calling + <code>H5Pset_filter()</code> for a dataset creation property + list while the transient filter pipeline is defined by calling + that function for a dataset transfer property list. + + </p><dl> + <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_filter (hid_t <em>plist</em>, + H5Z_filter_t <em>filter</em>, unsigned int <em>flags</em>, + size_t <em>cd_nelmts</em>, const unsigned int + <em>cd_values</em>[])</code> + </dt><dd>This function adds the specified <em>filter</em> and + corresponding properties to the end of the transient or + permanent output filter pipeline (depending on whether + <em>plist</em> is a dataset creation or dataset transfer + property list). The <em>flags</em> argument specifies certain + general properties of the filter and is documented below. The + <em>cd_values</em> is an array of <em>cd_nelmts</em> integers + which are auxiliary data for the filter. The integer values + will be stored in the dataset object header as part of the + filter information. + </dd><dt><code>int H5Pget_nfilters (hid_t <em>plist</em>)</code> + </dt><dd>This function returns the number of filters defined in the + permanent or transient filter pipeline depending on whether + <em>plist</em> is a dataset creation or dataset transfer + property list. In each pipeline the filters are numbered from + 0 through <em>N</em>-1 where <em>N</em> is the value returned + by this function. During output to the file the filters of a + pipeline are applied in increasing order (the inverse is true + for input). Zero is returned if there are no filters in the + pipeline and a negative value is returned for errors. + </dd><dt><code>H5Z_filter_t H5Pget_filter (hid_t <em>plist</em>, + int <em>filter_number</em>, unsigned int *<em>flags</em>, + size_t *<em>cd_nelmts</em>, unsigned int + *<em>cd_values</em>, size_t namelen, char name[])</code> + </dt><dd>This is the query counterpart of + <code>H5Pset_filter()</code> and returns information about a + particular filter number in a permanent or transient pipeline + depending on whether <em>plist</em> is a dataset creation or + dataset transfer property list.

The + <em>filter_number</em> should be a value between zero and + <em>N</em>-1 as described for <code>H5Pget_nfilters()</code> + and the function will return failure (a negative value) if the + filter number is out of range.
