[svn-r303] Changes since 19980228
---------------------- ./html/Dataspaces.html ./html/Errors.html ./html/Files.html ./html/H5.api.html ./html/review1.html ./src/H5private.h ./src/H5public.h ./test/dsets.c ./test/dtypes.c Removed all the types like `int32' and `intn' into private headers since they violate the naming scheme and pollute application name space. Besides, our test files only use them in a handful of places and it's probably useless to export them to the app. The app is always written in terms of standard numeric types or its own numeric types and probably never in terms of HDF5 numeric types. If it were, then the user would have to copy from their type to hdf5 type for almost every hdf5 API function call! Same goes for return values. I also removed SUCCEED/FAIL from the API since apps should be checking against zero anyway. if (FAIL==(space=H5Screate_simple(...))) /*wrong*/ if ((space=H5Fcreate_simple(...)<0)) /*right*/ ./src/H5.c Changed arguments of H5version() from `uintn' to `unsigned'. ./src/H5Tpublic.h ./src/H5T.c Changed return type of H5Tget_nmembers() from `intn' to `int' ./src/H5A.c ./src/H5Aprivate.h ./src/H5Apublic.h Changed `H5Asearch_func_t' to `H5A_search_func_t' and moved its definition from the public to the private header file. ./html/H5.format.html Documented changes made to the external file list (H5O_EFL) message. ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5Dprivate.h ./src/H5E.c ./src/H5Epublic.h ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5Oefl.c ./src/H5Oprivate.h ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Ppublic.h Added partial support for external raw data files. HDF5 can now describe external raw data files by listing the file names, offsets, and size for a dataset. However, we will restrict a dataset to be stored "contiguously" when the external file list is viewed as a single address space. The current implementation is unable to read/write to external files--that will come later this week as will documentation. For now, take a look at ./test/external.c, particularly the calls to H5Pset_external(). ./test/Makefile.in ./test/external.c [NEW] ./MANIFEST Added tests for external storage. Note: the read test is supposed to fail at this point since reading external datasets is not implemented yet. There is no write test. ./src/H5S.c ./src/H5Sprivate.h ./src/H5Ssimp.c Added H5S_get_npoints_max() to return the maximum possible number of data points in a data space. Added an extra argument to H5S_get_dims() which returns the maximum dims. ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Fprivate.h ./src/H5Fpublic.h ./src/H5M.c [DEPRICATED] ./src/H5Mpublic.h [DEPRICATED] Changed `template' to `property list' in lots of places. ./src/H5Osdspace.c Removed an extra `\n' from a print statement. ./src/H5S_public.h Changed H5S_UNLIMITED to the maximum size_t value. ./test/extend.c "Extendable" is spelled "extendible". ./src/H5Farray.c ./src/H5V.c ./src/H5Vprivate.h ./test/hyperslab.c Strides are now type ssize_t instead of int. These have nothing to do with the sample granularity arguments for hyperslabs, which are also called "strides" in the code. ./test/tstab.c Changed assumptions about default address and length sizes.
