[svn-r7824] Purpose:
Code optimization
Description:
Improved integer & floating-point datatype conversions by removing some
corner cases. Got rid of algorithm which walked the buffer of elements to
convert backwards, switching to algorithm which computes the non-overlapping
space in the buffer and repeatedly converts it in the forward direction.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Cray SV1 & T3E (T90 is not accessible)
