Merge pull request #936 in HDFFV/hdf5 from ~BMRIBLER/hdf5_bmr_cpp3:develop to develop

Modified 43158f3bb352f374c31556a5d0dc463a09e0b32e and additional wrappers.

* commit 'b638bbd74b79f935a43aa6a804492e035ec315f6':
  Code improvement Description:     - Removed memory leaks caused by accidentally invoking p_get_member_type     - Added the call to test_lcpl, missed previously Platforms tested:     Linux/64 (jelly)     Linux/ppc64 (ostrich)     Darwin (osx1010test)
  Updated RELEASE.txt Description:     - Wrappers for H5Lcreate_soft, H5Lcreate_hard, H5Lcopy, H5Lmove,       H5Ldelete, and H5Lget_info     - Class LinkCreatPropList     - Fixed typo in source file Platforms tested:     Linux/64 (jelly)
  Updated for H5LcreatProp.[h,cpp]
  Updated MANIFEST for H5LcreatProp.[h,cpp]
  HDFFV-10149 continued Description:     - Moved the new wrappers committed on Mar 9:         43158f3bb352f374c31556a5d0dc463a09e0b32e       to H5Location and renamed some of them for overloading.       This is because the loc_id in the C APIs can be file, group, dataset,       named datatype, and attribute.  Previous implementation was wrong       following some inaccurate C API reference manual.

     C++ Library:
     ------------
-    -
+    - The following wrappers are added:
+
+      + H5Lcreate_soft:
+        // Creates a soft link from link_name to target_name.
+        void link(const char *target_name, const char *link_name,...)
+        void link(const H5std_string& target_name,...)
+
+      + H5Lcreate_hard:
+        // Creates a hard link from new_name to curr_name.
+        void link(const char *curr_name, const Group& new_loc,...)
+        void link(const H5std_string& curr_name, const Group& new_loc,...)
+
+        // Creates a hard link from new_name to curr_name in same location.
+        void link(const char *curr_name, const hid_t same_loc,...)
+        void link(const H5std_string& curr_name, const hid_t same_loc,...)
+
+        Note: previous version of H5Location::link will be deprecated.
+
+      + H5Lcopy:
+        // Copy an object from a group of file to another.
+        void copyLink(const char *src_name, const Group& dst,...)
+        void copyLink(const H5std_string& src_name, const Group& dst,...)
+
+        // Copy an object from a group of file to the same location.
+        void copyLink(const char *src_name, const char *dst_name,...)
+        void copyLink(const H5std_string& src_name,...)
+
+      + H5Lmove:
+        // Rename an object in a group or file to a new location.
+        void moveLink(const char* src_name, const Group& dst,...)
+        void moveLink(const H5std_string& src_name, const Group& dst,...)
+
+        // Rename an object in a group or file to the same location.
+        void moveLink(const char* src_name, const char* dst_name,...)
+        void moveLink(const H5std_string& src_name,...)
+
+        Note: previous version H5Location::move will be deprecated.
+
+      + H5Ldelete:
+        // Removes the specified link from this location.
+        void unlink(const char *link_name,
+            const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT)
+        void unlink(const H5std_string& link_name,
+            const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT)
+
+    - Added class LinkCreatPropList
+
+    - Added overloaded functions H5Location::createGroup to take a link
+      creation property list
+        Group createGroup(const char* name, const LinkCreatPropList& lcpl)
+        Group createGroup(const H5std_string& name, const LinkCreatPropList& lcpl)
+    - Added wrapper for H5Lget_info() to H5Location
+        // Returns the information of the named link.
+        H5L_info_t getLinkInfo(const H5std_string& link_name,...)
