[svn-r949] Changes since 19981124
---------------------- ./src/H5T.c Fixed a typo in the registration of the `unsigned char' to `unsigned long long' type conversion that caused it to not be registered, falling back to software whenever that conversion path was taken. ./MANIFEST ./test/Makefile.in ./test/testhdf5.c ./test/testhdf5.h ./test/theap.c [REMOVED] ./test/lheap.c [NEW] ./test/tohdr.c [REMOVED] ./test/ohdr.c [NEW] ./test/tstab.c [REMOVED] ./test/stab.c [NEW] Removed the `t' from the front of these names and made each test a stand-alone program following the format of most of the other tests. ./test/big.c Uses libh5test.a but always sets the low-level driver to 1GB file family. The `#if' near the top to set the data space to 8GB has been simplified now that `long_long' is always defined and the error message is improved when `long_long' isn't wide enough. Cleanup code was added to the error handling. ./test/gheap.c ./test/istore.c Uses libh5test.a. Added error cleanup code. ./test/dtypes.c ./test/h5test.c Added 68 new tests that check hardware and software conversions between `long long' and `unsigned long long' and the other integer types. The tests only run on machines where sizeof(long_long)!=sizeof(long). We test a total of 180 different integer conversions, half in hardware and half in software. Cut down the number of times each test is run from 5 to 1 so it doesn't take so long. If you want to run more times there's a constant that can be changed at the top of the file. ./test/extend.c Removed unused variable. ./test/h5test.c ./test/h5test.h ./test/external.c ./test/fillval.c The h5_cleanup() returns true/false so it can be used in an `if' statement to clean up additional files. ./doc/html/Environment.html Indented. Added HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_DRIVER descriptions. ./src/H5P.c Changed the trace type for the second argument from `Iu' to `x' since it's an output parameter. ./INSTALL Added a warning that the GNU zlib that comes with the latest version of HDF4 is too old to use with HDF5 and must be renamed so configure doesn't see it when `--enable-hdf4' is used.
