Merge all of my changes from merge-back-to-feature-vfd_swmr-attempt-1,

including the merge of `hdffv/hdf5/develop`, back to the branch that Vailin and
I share.

Now I need to put this branch on a fork with a less confusing name than
vchoi_fork!

- *
- * Programmer:  Robb Matzke
- *              Thursday, July 23, 1998
- *
- * Modifications:
- *      Robb Matzke, 1999-04-26
- *      Made this function safe from overflow problems by allowing it
- *      to reallocate the output string.
- *
- *      Robb Matzke, 1999-06-04
- *      Added support for object references. The new `container'
- *      argument is the dataset where the reference came from.
- *
- *      Robb Matzke, 1999-06-07
- *      Added support for printing raw data. If info->raw is non-zero
- *      then data is printed in hexadecimal format.
- *
- *  Robb Matzke, 2003-01-10
- *  Binary output format is dd:dd:... instead of 0xdddd... so it
- *  doesn't look like a hexadecimal integer, and thus users will
- *  be less likely to complain that HDF5 didn't properly byte
- *  swap their data during type conversion.
- *
- *  Robb Matzke, LLNL, 2003-06-05
- *  If TYPE is a variable length string then the pointer to
- *  the value to pring (VP) is a pointer to a `char*'.
- *
- *  PVN, 28 March 2006
- *  added H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE case
- *
- *  Vailin Choi; August 2010
- *    Modified to handle printing of selected compound fields for h5watch.
- *
- *  Raymond Lu, 2011-09-01
- *  CLANG compiler complained about the line (about 800):
- *    tempint = (tempint >> packed_data_offset) & packed_data_mask;
- *  The right shift may cause undefined behavior if PACKED_DATA_OFFSET is
- *  32-bit or more. For every kind of native integers, I changed the code
- *  to make it zero if PACKED_DATA_OFFSET is greater than or equal to the
- *  size of integer.
+ * Purpose:     Renders the value pointed to by VP of type TYPE into variable
+ *              length string STR.

+/*****************************************************************************
+ *
+ * Function: parse_tuple()
+ *
+ * Purpose:
+ *
+ *     Create array of pointers to strings, identified as elements in a tuple
+ *     of arbitrary length separated by provided character.
+ *     ("tuple" because "nple" looks strange)
+ *
+ *     * Receives pointer to start of tuple sequence string, '('.
+ *     * Attempts to separate elements by token-character `sep`.
+ *         * If the separator character is preceded by a backslash '\',
+ *           the backslash is deleted and the separator is included in the
+ *           element string as any other character.
+ *     * To end an element with a backslash, escape the backslash, e.g.
+ *       "(myelem\\,otherelem) -> {"myelem\", "otherelem"}
+ *     * In all other cases, a backslash appearing not as part of "\\" or
+ *       "\<sep>" digraph will be included berbatim.
+ *     * Last two characters in the string MUST be ")\0".
+ *
+ *     * Generates a copy of the input string `start`, (src..")\0"), replacing
+ *       separators and close-paren with null charaters.
+ *         * This string is allocated at runtime and should be freed when done.
+ *     * Generates array of char pointers, and directs start of each element
+ *       (each pointer) into this copy.
+ *         * Each tuple element points to the start of its string (substring)
+ *           and ends with a null terminator.
+ *         * This array is allocated at runtime and should be freed when done.
+ *     * Reallocates and expands elements array during parsing.
+ *         * Initially allocated for 2 (plus one null entry), and grows by
+ *           powers of 2.
+ *     * The final 'slot' in the element array (elements[nelements], e.g.)
+ *       always points to NULL.
+ *     * The number of elements found and stored are passed out through pointer
+ *       to unsigned, `nelems`.
+ *
+ * Return:
+ *
+ *     FAIL    If malformed--does not look like a tuple "(...)"
+ *             or major error was encountered while parsing.
+ *     or
+ *     SUCCEED String looks properly formed "(...)" and no major errors.
+ *
+ *             Stores number of elements through pointer `nelems`.
+ *             Stores list of pointers to char (first char in each element
+ *                 string) through pointer `ptrs_out`.
+ *                 NOTE: `ptrs_out[nelems] == NULL` should be true.
+ *                 NOTE: list is malloc'd by function, and should be freed
+ *                       when done.
+ *             Stores "source string" for element pointers through `cpy_out`.
+ *                 NOTE: Each element substring is null-terminated.
+ *                 NOTE: There may be extra characters after the last element
+ *                           (past its null terminator), but is guaranteed to
+ *                           be null-terminated.
+ *                 NOTE: `cpy_out` string is malloc'd by function,
+ *                       and should be freed when done.

+ *
+ * FILE-LOCAL TESTING MACROS
+ *
+ * Purpose:
+ *
+ *     1. Upon test failure, goto-jump to single-location teardown in test
+ *        function. E.g., `error:` (consistency with HDF corpus) or
+ *        `failed:` (reflects purpose).
+ *            >>> using "error", in part because `H5E_BEGIN_TRY` expects it.
+ *     2. Increase clarity and reduce overhead found with `TEST_ERROR`.
+ *        e.g., "if(somefunction(arg, arg2) < 0) TEST_ERROR:"
+ *        requires reading of entire line to know whether this if/call is
+ *        part of the test setup, test operation, or a test unto itself.
+ *     3. Provide testing macros with optional user-supplied failure message;
+ *        if not supplied (NULL), generate comparison output in the spirit of
+ *        test-driven development. E.g., "expected 5 but was -3"
+ *        User messages clarify test's purpose in code, encouraging description
+ *        without relying on comments.
+ *     4. Configurable expected-actual order in generated comparison strings.
+ *        Some prefer `VERIFY(expected, actual)`, others
+ *        `VERIFY(actual, expected)`. Provide preprocessor ifdef switch
+ *        to satifsy both parties, assuming one paradigm per test file.
+ *        (One could #undef and redefine the flag through the file as desired,
+ *         but _why_.)
+ *
+ *     Provided as courtesy, per consideration for inclusion in the library
+ *     proper.
+ *
+ *     Macros:
+ *
+ *         JSVERIFY_EXP_ACT - ifdef flag, configures comparison order
+ *         FAIL_IF()        - check condition
+ *         FAIL_UNLESS()    - check _not_ condition
+ *         JSVERIFY()       - long-int equality check; prints reason/comparison
+ *         JSVERIFY_NOT()   - long-int inequality check; prints
+ *         JSVERIFY_STR()   - string equality check; prints
