[svn-r29269] Purpose: Improve Packet Table library
Description:
The Packet Table API used to have fixed-length and variable-length functions
(i.e., H5PTcreate_fl and H5PTcreate_vl), but in 2006, the vlen functions
were ifdef'ed out with VLPT_REMOVED, see HDFFV-442. The majority of this
revision includes removing unused vlen stuff, adding various vlen tests,
initial code cleanup, and first pass of commenting.
Details:
- Removed the VLPT_REMOVED ifdef, but keep H5PTis_varlen and the free
function because they are useful or even needed, but the free
function's name is changed to be more appropriate for both
read/write buffers, i.e., H5PTfree_vlen_buff.
- The new test file, test_packet_vlen.c, contains tests showing packet
tables, containing various types of vlen data, can be created with
the fixed-length function
- Two accessor functions were added per HDFFV-8623/patch 003.
/* Returns the ID of the dataset associated with the packet table */
hid_t H5PTget_dataset(hid_t table_id);
/* Returns the ID of the datatype the packet table uses */
hid_t H5PTget_type(hid_t table_id);
- Various cleanup: replacing 0/-1 with SUCCEED/FAIL and H5I_BADID with
H5I_INVALID_HID, and removing many warnings.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Linux/64 (platypus)
Darwin (osx1010test)
