[svn-r27945] Purpose: Fix HDFFV-9529
Description:
Merged from hdf5_CppAPI_Constants
r27942:
------
Description:
- Added H5dont_atexit() to getPredType and all the getConstant's to prevent
the C library from terminating before the C++ library cleanup.
- More cleanup and added more comments
r27923:
------
- Updated more comments and moved some things around for consistency
- Removed check for "new" failure, exceptions would be thrown
r27922:
------
Description:
Added function headers and more comments for clarity.
r27917:
------
Description:
The C++ library has several types of global constants from different
classes, such as PropList, PredType, DataSpace, etc... Previously,
these global constants were declared statically and the C++ library used
a constant, called PredType::AtExit, to detect when all the global
contants are destroyed then close the C library (H5close). This method
relied on the order of the constants being created and destroyed and
that PredType constants be the last to be destroyed. In September 2015,
it was recognized that the order in which the global constants were
created and destroyed was actually undefined, thus can be different
between different compilers. This resulted in failure when compilers
destroy PredType constants before others because when PredType::AtExit
was destroyed, the C library was closed, so when the constants of other
classes such as PropList or DataSpace were being deleted, the C library
would not be available.
Solution:
The static approach is changed to dynamic. In order to avoid an impact
on existing applications, the static global constants are changed to
constant references to the dynamically allocated objects.
A detailed explanation of the new method and a description of the
changes are in a Design Notes at the end of the file H5PredType.cpp.
New functions added to support the new methods are listed below.
class H5Library:
// Returns a singleton H5Library to initialize the global
// constants, invoked in IdComponent default constructor
static H5Library* getInstance(); // public
// Registers cleanup and terminating functions with atexit(),
// called in IdComponent default constructor
static void initH5cpp(void); // public
// Calls H5close to terminate the library, registered with
// atexit(), as the last thing to be done.
static void termH5cpp(void); // public
class PredType:
// Creates the constants
static void makePredTypes(); // private
// Calls makePredTypes to create the constants and returns
// the dummy constant PREDTYPE_CONST;
static PredType* getPredTypes(); // private
class DataSpace:
// Creates the constant
static DataSpace* getConstant(); // private
class PropList:
// Creates the constant
static PropList* getConstant(); // private
class DSetCreatPropList:
// Creates the constant
static DSetCreatPropList* getConstant(); // private
class DSetMemXferPropList:
// Creates the constant
static DSetMemXferPropList* getConstant(); // private
class FileCreatPropList:
// Creates the constant
static FileCreatPropList* getConstant(); // private
class FileAccPropList:
// Creates the constant
static FileAccPropList* getConstant(); // private
This function is added to PredType, DataSpace, PropList, and the four
subclasses of PropList:
// Deletes the constant
static void deleteConstants(); // public
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Linux/64 (platypus)
Darwin (osx1010test)
