[svn-r6383] Purpose:
New feature for developers. Description: Added "function stack" tracing to library. This allows developers (there is no public API) to call H5FS_print within the library and get a listing of the functions traversed to reach that point in the library. Eventually, I may add support for reporting the parameters to each function also... Mainly for debugging parallel I/O programs, but I think it will come in handy in other cases also. The function stack tracking is controlled with a configure switch: --enable-funcstack, which defaults to enabled currently. When we branch for 1.6, we should change the default setting on the branch to be disabled. Also, added a destructor to the thread-specific keys when thread-safety is turned on in the library. Otherwise, they were leaking memory and causing difficult to debug errors in threaded programs (like the test/ttsafe test). Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) w/thread-safety enabled. Misc. update: Updated MANIFEST with new files added (src/H5FS.c & src/H5FDprivate.h) Update release_docs/RELEASE with thread-safety bug fix.
