QAK - 2003/01/09 - * Added "unofficial support" for AIX 64bits. See INSTALL for configure - details. AKC - 2002/08/29 - * Added "--with-dmalloc" flag, to easily enable support for the 'dmalloc' - debugging malloc implementation. QAK - 2002/07/15 - - o Library - ========= - o General - --------- - * Allow scalar dataspaces to be used for parallel I/O. QAK - 2002/11/05 - * Added environment variable "HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK", which disables - the version checking between the header files and the library linked - into an application if set to '1'. This should be used with caution, - mis-matched headers and library binaries can cause _serious_ problems. - QAK - 2002/10/15 - * Partially fixed space allocation inefficiencies in the file by - improving our algorithms for re-using freed space. QAK - 2002/08/27 - * API tracing has been improved. Nested API calls don't screw up the - output format; function call and return event times can be logged; - total time spent in each function can be logged. The following - HDF5_DEBUG environment variable words affect tracing: - trace -- turn on/off basic tracing - ttimes -- turn on tracing and report event times and - time spent in each API function. - ttop -- turn on tracing but display only top-level - API calls. - - o APIs - ------ - * Several missing fortran APIs have been added to the library: - - h5get_libversion_f h5tget_member_index_f h5dget_storage_size_f - h5check_version_f h5tvlen_create_f h5dvlen_get_max_len_f - h5garbage_collect_f h5dwrite_vl_f - h5dont_atexit_f h5dread_vl_f - - Functions h5dvlen_get_max_len_f, h5dwrite_vl_f, and h5dread_vl_f support - VL Length C APIs functionality for integer, real and string datatypes. - See HDF5 Reference Manual and HDF5 FORTRAN90 User's Notes for more - information and for the functions description. - - o Parallel library - ================== - * The MPI-posix virtual file driver makes gpfs_fcntl() hints to tell - the underlying GPFS file system to avoid prefetching byte range - tokens if USE_GPFS_HINTS is defined when this file is compiled. - This temporary solution is intended to be removed once the HDF5 - API supports the necessary functionality that makes it possible - for this sort of thing do be done at a higher software layer. - RPM - 2002/12/03 - * Added MPI-posix VFL driver. This VFL driver uses MPI functions to - coordinate actions, but performs I/O directly with POSIX sec(2) - (i.e. open/close/read/write/etc.) calls. This driver should _NOT_ - be used to access files that are not on a parallel filesystem. - The following API functions were added: - herr_t H5Pset_fapl_mpiposix(hid_t fapl_id, MPI_Comm comm); - herr_t H5Pget_fapl_mpiposix(hid_t fapl_id, MPI_Comm *comm/*out*/); - QAK - 2002/07/15 - - - - o Support for new platforms and languages - ========================================= - * C++ API now works on the Origin2000 (IRIX6.5.14.) BMR - 2002/11/14 - - - o Misc. - ========================================= - HDF5 1.4.5 works with Portland Group Compilers (pgcc, pgf90 and pgCC - version 4.0-2) on Linux 2.4 - - -Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.4 Release -================================== - * H5Fopen without the H5F_ACC_CREAT flag should not succeed in creating - a new file with the 'core' VFL driver. QAK - 2003/01/24 - * Corrected metadata caching bug in parallel I/O which could cause hangs - when chunked datasets were accessed with independent transfer mode. - QAK - 2003/01/23 - * Allow opening objects with unknown object header messages. - QAK - 2003/01/21 - * Added improved error assertion for nil VL strings. It return error - stack instead of a simple assertion. SLU - 2002/12/16 - * Fixed h5dump bug(cannot dump data and datatype) for VL string. - SLU - 2002/11/18 - * Fixed error condition where "none" selections were not being handled - correctly in serial & parallel. QAK - 2002/10/29 - * Fixed problem where optimized hyperslab routines were incorrectly - invoked for parallel I/O operations in collective mode. QAK - 2002/07/22 - * Fixed metadata corruption problem which could occur when many objects - are created in a file during parallel I/O.

Comment the call to EXEC subroutine - in each program, or get a patch for the HDF5 Fortran source code. - - * Fortran external dataset test fails on Linux 2.4 with pgf90 compiler. - - * On Windows, h5dump may abort printing if a VL string is longer than 4096 - bytes due to a compiler problem. It'll be fixed in v1.6 release. - - * Datasets or attributes which have a variable-length string datatype are - not printing correctly with h5dump and h5ls. - - * When a dataset with the variable-length datatype is overwritten, - the library can develop memory leaks that cause the file to become - unnecessarily large. This is planned to be fixed in the next release. - - * On the SV1, the h5ls test fails due to a difference between the - SV1 printf precision and the printf precision on other platforms. - - * The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output on some - platforms (e.g. SP2 parallel, Windows) where the error messages - directed to "stderr" do not appear in the "right order" with output - from stdout. This is not an error. - - * The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for HP-UX - 11.00 platforms. - - * The executables are always dynamic on IRIX64 6.5(64 and n32) and - IRIX 6.5 even if they are configured with --enable-static-exec. - - * IRIX 6.5 fails to compile if configured with --enable-static-exec. - - * The executables are always dynamic on Solaris 2.7 ans 2.8(64 and n32) - even if they are configured with --enable-static-exec. - - * The HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES optimization code in the parallel HDF5 will cause - a hang in some cases when chunked storage is used. This is now set to - be off by default. One may turn it on by setting the environment - variable HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES to a non-zero value such as 1. - - * On OSF1 v5.1 and IA32 h5dumpgentst program that generates test files - for h5dump, gives segmentation fault. - - * On Windows platforms, C and Fortran tests fail with the debug DLL version - of the Library if built from all_withf90.zip file. - - * On Cray T3E (sn6606 2.0.6.08 unicosmk CRAY T3E) with Cray Standard C Version 6.6.0.1.3 - compiler optimization causes errors in many HDF5 Library tests. Use -g -h zero flags - to build HDF5 Library. - - * On Cray SV1 10.0.1. 0 datatype convertion test fails. Please check HDF FTP site - if patch is available. We will try to provide one in the nearest future. - - * For configuration, building and testing with Intel and PGI compilers see - corresponding section in INSTALL file. - - -%%%%1.4.4%%%% Release Information for hdf5-1.4.4 (02/July/02) - -12. Release information for HDF5 version 1.4.4 -============================================================================== - -INTRODUCTION - -This document describes the differences between HDF5-1.4.3 and -HDF5-1.4.4, and contains information on the platforms tested and -known problems in HDF5-1.4.4. For more details check the HISTORY.txt -file in the HDF5 source. - -The HDF5 documentation can be found on the NCSA ftp server -(ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) in the directory: - - /HDF/HDF5/docs/ - -For more information, see the HDF5 home page at: - - http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/ - -If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: - - hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu - - -CONTENTS - -- New Features -- Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.3 -- Performance Improvements -- Documentation -- Platforms Tested -- Supported Configuration Features -- Known Problems - - -New Features -============ - o Configuration - ================ - * The H4 to H5 tools have been removed from the main source and placed - in a separate package. You can get these tools from the HDF ftp site - (ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/). The "--with-hdf4" command-line option - during configure is no longer valid. BW - 2002/06/25 - - o Library - ========= - o General - --------- - * Fill-value forward-compatibility with release 1.5 was added. SLU - - 2002/04/11 - * A new query function H5Tget_member_index has been added for compound - and enumeration data types. This function retrieves a member's index - by name. SLU - 2002/04/05 - * Added serial multi-gigabyte file size test. "test/big -h" shows - the help page. AKC - 2002/03/29 - - o APIs - ------ - * The F90 subroutines h5dwrite_f, h5dread_f, h5awrite_f, and h5aread_f - were overloaded with a "dims" argument of type INTEGER(HSIZE_T) to - specify the size of the array. We recommend using these subroutines - with the new type; module subroutines that accept "dims" as an i - INTEGER array of size 7 will be deprecated in release 1.6. - EIP - 2002/05/06 - - o Performance - ------------- - * Added internal "small data" aggregation, which can reduce the number of - actual I/O calls made, improving performance. QAK - 2002/06/05 - * Improved internal metadata aggregation, which can reduce the number of - actual I/O calls made, improving performance. Additionally, this can - reduce the size of files produced. QAK - 2002/06/04 - * Improved internal metadata caching, which can reduce the number of - actual I/O calls made by a substantial amount, improving - performance. QAK - 2002/06/03 - - - o Parallel library - ================== - * Fixed bug in parallel I/O routines where a collective I/O which used - MPI derived types, followed by an independent I/O would cause the library - to hang. QAK 2002/06/24 - * Added environment variable flag to control whether creating MPI derived - types is preferred or not. This can affect performance, depending on - which way the MPI-I/O library is optimized. The default is set to - prefer MPI derived types for collective raw data transfers; setting the - HDF5_MPI_PREFER_DERIVED_TYPES environment variable to "0" (i.e.: - "setenv HDF5_MPI_PREFER_DERIVED_TYPES 0") changes the preference to avoid - using them whenever possible. QAK - 2002/06/19 - * Changed MPI I/O routines to avoid creating MPI derived types (and thus - needing to set the file view) for contiguous selections within datasets. - This should result in some performance improvement for those types of - selections. QAK - 2002/06/18 - * Changed MPI type support for collective I/O to be enabled by default. - This can be disabled by setting the HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES environment - variable to the value "0". QAK - 2002/06/14 - * Allowed chunks in chunked datasets to be cached when parallel file is - opened for read-only access (bug #709). QAK - 2002/06/10 - * Changed method for allocating chunked dataset blocks to only allocate - blocks that don't already exist, instead of attempting to create all the - blocks all the time. This improves performance for chunked - datasets. QAK - 2002/05/17 - * Allowed the call to MPI_File_sync to be avoided when the file is going to - immediately be closed, improving performance. QAK - 2002/05/13 - * Allowed the metadata writes to be shared among all processes, easing the - burden on process 0. QAK - 2002/05/10 - - - o Tools - ======= - * h5redeploy utility was added. It updates HDF5 compiler tools - after the HDF5 software has been installed in a new location. - - - o Support for new platforms and languages - ========================================= - * Parallel Fortran Library works now on HP-UX B.11.00 Sys V. - EIP - 2002/05/06 - * Intel C++ and F90 compilers Version 6.0 are supported on Linux 2.4. - * Intel C++ compilers Version 6.0 are supported on Windows 2000. - - - o Misc. - ========================================= - * zlib has been moved out of the Windows source release. Users should go to - the ZLIB homepage(http://www.zlib.org) to download the corresponding - zlib library. - * The Windows binary release is built with the old version of the zlib - library. We expect users to use zlib 1.1.4 to build with the source - release. - * In the Windows-specific install document, we specify how to test backward - compatibility. However, in this release, we are not testing the backward - compatibility of HDF5. - - -Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.3 Release -================================== - * Fixed bug in chunking routines where they were using internal allocation - free routines, instead of malloc/free, preventing user filters from - working correctly. Chunks are now allocated/freed with malloc/free and - so should the chunks in user filters. QAK 2002/06/18 - * Fixed bug where regular hyperslab selection could get incorrectly - transferred when the number of elements in a row did not fit evenly - into the buffer provided. QAK 2002/06/12 - * Fixed bug (#499) which allowed an "empty" compound or enumerated datatype - (one with no members) to be used to create a dataset or to be committed - to a file. QAK - 2002/06/11 - * Fixed bug (#777) which allowed a compound datatype to be inserted into - itself. QAK - 2002/06/10 - * Fixed bug (#789) where creating 1-D dataset region reference caused the - library to go into infinite loop. QAK - 2002/06/10 - * Fixed bug (#699, fix provided by a user) where a scalar dataspace was - written to the file and then subsequently queried with the - H5Sget_simple_extent_type function; type was reported as H5S_SIMPLE - instead of H5S_SCALAR. EIP - 2002/06/04 - * Clear symbol table node "dirty" flag when flushing symbol tables to - disk, to reduce I/O calls made & improve performance. QAK - 2002/06/03 - * Fixed bug where an object's header could get corrupted in certain - obscure situations when many objects were created in the - file. QAK - 2002/05/31 - * Fixed bug where read/write intent in file IDs created with H5Freopen - was not being kept the same as the original file. QAK - 2002/05/14 - * Fixed bug where selection offsets were not being used when iterating - through point and hyperslab selections with - H5Diterate(). QAK - 2002/04/29 - * Fixed bug where the data for several level deep nested compound & - variable-length datatypes used for datasets were getting corrupted when - written to the file. QAK - 2002/04/17 - * Fixed bug where selection offset was being ignored for certain hyperslab - selections when optimized I/O was being performed. QAK - 2002/04/02 - * Fixed limitation in h5dumper with object names which reached over 1024 - characters in length. We can now handle arbitrarily larger sizes for - object names. BW - 2002/03/29 - * Fixed bug where variable-length string type did not behave as a - string. SLU - 2002/03/28 - * Fixed bug in H5Gget_objinfo() which was not setting the 'fileno' - of the H5G_stat_t struct. QAK - 2002/03/27 - * Fixed data corruption bug in hyperslab routines when contiguous - hyperslab that spans entire dimension and is larger than type - conversion buffer is attempted to be read. QAK - 2002/03/26 - - -Performance Improvements -======================== - This release of the HDF5 library has been extensively tuned to improve -performance, especially to improve parallel I/O performance. - Most of the specific information for particular performance improvements -is mentioned in the "New Features" and "Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.3" sections -of this document, but in general, the library should make fewer and larger -I/O requests when accessing a file. Additionally, improvements to the parallel -I/O portions of the library should have reduced the communications and barriers -used in various internal algorithms, improving the performance of the library. - However, with the extensive changes to some portions of the library that -were required for these improvements, some errors or unanticipated results may -have been introduced also. Please report any problems encountered to our -support team at hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu. - Hopefully these improvements will benefit all HDF5 applications, but if -there are particular I/O patterns that appear to be slower than necessary, -please send e-mail to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu with a sample program showing the -problem behavior; we will look into the issue to see if it is possible to -address it. - - -Documentation -============= - * Documentation was updated for the hdf5-1.4.4 release. - * A new "HDF5 User's Guide" is under development.

Release information for HDF5 version 1.4.3 -============================================================================== - - -INTRODUCTION - -This document describes the differences between HDF5-1.4.2 and -HDF5-1.4.3, and contains information on the platforms tested and -known problems in HDF5-1.4.2. For more details check the HISTORY.txt -file in the HDF5 source. - -The HDF5 documentation can be found on the NCSA ftp server -(ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) in the directory: - - /HDF/HDF5/docs/ - -For more information look at the HDF5 home page at: - - http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/ - -If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: - - hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu - - -CONTENTS - -- New Features -- Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.2 -- Documentation -- Platforms Tested -- Supported Configuration Features -- Known Problems - - -New Features -============ - o Configuration - ================ - * Can use just enable-threadsafe if the C compiler has built-in pthreads - support. - - o Library - ========= - o General - --------- - * Added a new test to verify the information provided by the configure - command. - * Changed internal error handling macros to reduce code size of library by - about 10%. - - o APIs - ------ - * Changed prototype for H5Awrite from: - H5Awrite(hid_t attr_id, hid_t type_id, void *buf) - to: - H5Awrite(hid_t attr_id, hid_t type_id, const void *buf) - * The H5Pset_fapl_split() accepts raw and meta file names similar to the - syntax of H5Pset_fapl_multi() in addition to what it used to accept. - - C++ API: - * Added operator= to class PredType - * Add the overloaded member function Attribute::getName to return - the attribute name's length as in C API. Note that the current - Attribute::getName, that returns "string", is still available. - * Following the change in the C library, the corresponding C++ API - is changed from: - void Attribute::write( const DataType& mem_type, void *buf ) - to: - void Attribute::write( const DataType& mem_type, const void *buf ) - - o Performance - ------------- - * Added perform programs to test the HDF5 library performance. Programs - are installed in directory perform/. - * Improved performance of byte-swapping during data conversions. - * Improved performance of single, contiguous hyperslabs when reading or - writing. - * Added support to read/write portions of chunks directly, if they are - uncompressed and too large to cache. This should speed up I/O on chunked - datasets for a few more cases. -QAK, 1/31/02 - - o Parallel Library - ================== - * Parallel C HDF5 now works on HP-UX platforms, Compaq clusters, - Linux clusters, Cplants (alpha-linux clusters). - - o Tools - ======= - * A helper script called ``h5cc'', which helps compilation of HDF5 - programs, is now distributed with HDF5. See the reference manual - for information on how to use this feature. - * The H5Dumper can now dump comments associated with groups. -WCW 01-05-02 - - o Support for new platforms and languages - ========================================= - * HDF5 C++ Library is supported on Windows platforms (shared and static) - * HDF5 F90 shared library is supported on Windows platforms. - * HDF5 C Library is supported on IA32 and IA64 platforms. - - - -Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.2 Release -================================== - - * Fixed a bug when reading chunked datasets where the edge of the dataset - would be incorrectly detected and generate an assertion failure. - * Fixed a bug where reading an entire dataset wasn't being handled - optimally when the dataset had unlimited dimensions. Dataset is read - in a single low-level I/O now, instead of being broken into separate - pieces internally. - * Fixed a bug where reading or writing chunked data which needed datatype - conversion could result in data values getting corrupted. - * Fixed a bug where appending a point selection to the current selection - would not actually append the point when there were no points defined - currently. - * Fixed a bug where 'or'ing a hyperslab with a 'none' selection would - fail. Now adds that hyperslab as the first hyperlab in the selection. - * Fixed a bug in the 'big' test where quota limits weren't being detected - properly if they caused close() to fail. - * Fixed a bug in internal B-tree code where a B-tree was not being copied - correctly. - * Fixed an off-by-one error in H5Sselect_valid when hyperslab selections - which would allow hyperslab selections which overlapped the edge of the - selection by one element as valid. - * Fixed the internal macros used to encode & decode file metadata, to avoid - an unaligned access warning on IA64 machines. - * Corrected behavior of H5Tinsert to not allow compound datatype fields to - be inserted past the end of the datatype. - * Retired the DPSS virtual file driver (--with-gridstorage configure - option). - * Fixed bug where variable-length datatypes for attributes was not working - correctly. - * Fixed bug where raw data re-allocated from the free-list would sometimes - overlap with the metadata accumulator and get corrupted. QAK - 1/23/02 - * Fixed bug where a preempted chunk in the chunk data could still be - used by an internal pointer and cause an assertion failure or core - dump. QAK - 2/13/02 - * Fixed bug where non-zero fill-value was not being read correctly from - certain chunked datasets when using an "all" or contiguous hyperslab - selection. QAK - 2/14/02 - - -Documentation -============= - * Documentation was updated for the hdf5-1.4.3 release. - * A new "HDF5 User's Guide" is under development.

Release Information for hdf5-1.4.2 -================================================================= - - -INTRODUCTION - -This document describes the differences between HDF5-1.4.1 and -HDF5-1.4.2, and contains information on the platforms tested and -known problems in HDF5-1.4.2. - -The HDF5 documentation can be found on the NCSA ftp server -(ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) in the directory: - - /HDF/HDF5/docs/ - -For more information look at the HDF5 home page at: - - http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/ - -If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: - - hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu - - -CONTENTS - -- New Features -- Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.1 -- Documentation -- Platforms Tested -- Supported Configuration Features -- Known Problems - - -New Features -============ - - * File sizes greater than 2GB are now supported on Linux systems with - version 2.4.x or higher kernels. - * Added a global string variable H5_lib_vers_info_g which holds the - HDF5 library version information. This can be used to identify - an hdf5 library or hdf5 application binary. - Also added a verification of the consistency between H5_lib_vers_info_g - and other version information in the source code. - * Parallel HDF5 now runs on the HP V2500 and HP N4000 machines. - * F90 API: - - Added aditional parameter "dims" to the h5dread_f/h5dwrite_f and - h5aread_f/h5awrite_f subroutines. This parameter is a 1-D array - of size 7 and contains the sizes of the data buffer dimensions. - This change enables portability between Windows and UNIX platforms. - In previous versions of the F90 APIs, the data buffer parameters of - the above functions were declared as assumed-shape arrays, which - were passed to the C functions by a descriptor. There is no - portable means, however, of passing descriptors from F90 to C, - causing portability problems between Windows and UNIX and among - UNIX platforms. With this change, the data buffers are assumed- - size arrays, which can be portably passed to the C functions. - * F90 static library is available on Windows platforms. - See INSTALL_Windows_withF90.txt for details. - * F90 APIs are available on HPUX 11.00 and 10.20 and IBM SP platforms. - * H5 <-> GIF convertor has been added. This is available under - tools/gifconv. The convertor supports the ability to create animated - gifs as well. - * Verified correct operation of library on Solaris 2.8 in both 64-bit and - 32-bit compilation modes. See INSTALL document for instructions on - compiling the distribution with 64-bit support. - * Added support for the Metrowerks Code Warrior compiler for Windows. - * For H4->H5 converter utility, added a new option to choose not to convert - HDF4 specified attributes(reference number, class) into HDF5 attributes. - * Added support chunking and compression in SDS and image in H4->H5 converter. - Currently HDF5 only supports gzip compression, so by default an HDF4 file - with any other compression method will be converted into an HDF5 file in - gzip compression. - * correct the order or reading HDF4 image array in H4->H5 conversion. - * Added new parallel hdf5 tests in t_mpi. The new test checks if the - filesystem or the MPI-IO can really handle greater than 2GB files. - If it fails, it prints information message only without failing the - test. - * Added a parallel HDF5 example examples/ph5example.c to illustrate - the basic way of using parallel HDF5. - * Added a new public macro, H5_VERS_INFO, which is a string holding - the HDF5 library version information. This string is also compiled - into all HDF5 binary code which helps to identify the version information - of the binary code. One may use the Unix strings command on the binary - file and looks for the pattern "HDF5 library version". - * Added new checking in H5check_version() to verify the five HDF5 version - information macros (H5_VERS_MAJOR, H5_VERS_MINOR, H5_VERS_RELEASE, - H5_VERS_SUBRELEASE and H5_VERS_INFO) are consistent. - - -Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.1 Release -================================== - - * Fixed bug with non-zero userblock sizes causing raw data to not - write correctly. - * Fixed problems with Pablo build and linking with non-standard MPI I/O. - * Fixed build on Linux systems with --enable-static-exec flag. It now - works correctly. - * IMPORTANT: Fixed file metadata corruption bug which could cause - metadata data loss in certain situations. - * The allocation by alignment (H5Pset_alignment) feature code somehow - got dropped in some 1.3.x version. Re-implemented it with "new and - improved" algorithm. It keeps track of "wasted" file-fragment in - the free-list too. - * Removed limitation that the data transfer buffer size needed to be - set for datasets whose dimensions were too large for the 'all' - selection code to handle. Any size dimensioned datasets should be - handled correctly now. - * Changed behavior of H5Tget_member_type to correctly emulate HDF5 v1.2.x - when --enable-hdf5v1_2 configure flag is enabled. - * Added --enable-linux-lfs flag to allow more control over whether to - enable or disable large file support on Linux. - * Fixed various bugs releated to SDS dimensional scale conversions in H4->H5 - converter. - * Fixed a bug to correctly convert HDF4 objects with fill value into HDF5. - * Fixed a bug of H5pubconf.h causing repeated definitions if it is included - more than once. hdf5.h now includes H5public.h which includes - H5pubconf.h. Applications should #include hdf5.h which handles multiple - inclusion correctly. - * Fixed H5FDmpio.h to be C++ friendly by making Parallel HDF5 API's to be - external to C++. - * Fixed a bug in H5FD_mpio_flush() that might result in negative file seek - if both MPIO and Split-file drivers are used together. - - - -Documentation -============= - - * The H5T_conv_t and H5T_cdata_t structures are now properly defined - in the H5Tregister entry in the "H5T" section of the "HDF5 Reference - Manual" and described in detail in section 12, "Data Conversions," in - the "Datatypes" chapter of the "HDF5 User's Guide." - * The new tools h52gif and gif2h5 have been added to the "Tools" section - of the Reference Manual. - * A "Freespace Management" section has been added to the "Performance" - chapter of the User's Guide. - * Several user-reported bugs have been fixed since Release 1.4.1. - * The "HDF5 Image and Palette Specification" (in the "HDF5 Application - Developer's Guide") has been heavily revised.

It also provides an API for user defined file drivers. - * New features added to snapshots. Use 'snapshot help' to see a - complete list of features. - * Improved configure to detect if MPIO routines are available when - parallel mode is requested. - * Added Thread-Safe support. Phase I implemented. See: - - http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/papers/mthdf/MTHDFpaper.htm - - for more details. - * Added data sieve buffering to raw data I/O path. This is enabled - for all VFL drivers except the mpio & core drivers. Setting the - sieve buffer size is controlled with the new API function, - H5Pset_sieve_buf_size(), and retrieved with H5Pget_sieve_buf_size(). - * Added new Virtual File Driver, Stream VFD, to send/receive entire - HDF5 files via socket connections. - * As parts of VFL, HDF-GASS and HDF-SRB are also added to this - release. To find out details, please read INSTALL_VFL file. - * Increased maximum number of dimensions for a dataset (H5S_MAX_RANK) - from 31 to 32 to align with HDF4 & netCDF. - * Added 'query' function to VFL drivers. Also added 'type' parameter to - VFL 'read' & 'write' calls, so they are aware of the type of data - being accessed in the file. Updated the VFL document also. - * A new h4toh5 utility, to convert HDF4 files to analogous HDF5 files. - * Added a new array datatype to the datatypes which can be created. - Removed "array fields" from compound datatypes (use an array datatype - instead). - * Parallel HDF5 works correctly with mpich-1.2.1 on Solaris, SGI, Linux. - * You can now install the HDF5 documentation using the - ``make install-doc'' command. The documentation is installed in the - $(prefix)/doc directory where $(prefix) is the prefix specified by - the (optional) ``--prefix'' flag during configuration. - * HDF5 can operate correctly in the OpenMP environment in a limited way. - Check doc/html/TechNotes/openmp-hdf5.html for details. - - -h4toh5 Utility -============== - The h4toh5 utility is a new utility that converts an HDF4 file to an - HDF5 file. For details, see the document, "Mapping HDF4 Objects to - HDF5 Objects": - http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/papers/H4-H5MappingGuidelines.pdf - - Known Bugs: - - The h4toh5 utility produces images that do not correctly conform - to the HDF5 Image and Palette Specification. - - http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc/ImageSpec.html - - Several required HDF5 attributes are omitted, and the dataspace - is reversed (i.e., the ht. and width of the image dataset is - incorrectly described.) For more information, please see: - - http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/H5Image/ImageDetails.html - - This bug has been fixed for the snapshot of hdf5 1.4 release. March 12th,2001 - - Known Limitations of the h4toh5 release - --------------------------------------------- - - 1. Error handlings - - h4toh5 utility will print out an error message when an error occurs. - - 2. String Datatype - - HDF4 has no 'string' type. String valued data are usually defined as - an array of 'char' in HDF4. The h4toh5 utility will generally map - these to HDF5 'String' types rather than array of char, with the - following additional rules: - - * For the data of an HDF4 SDS, image, and palette, if the data is - declared 'DFNT_CHAR8' it will be assumed to be integer and will - be an H5T_INTEGER type. - * For attributes of any HDF4 object, data of type 'DFNT_CHAR8' - will be converted to an HDF5 'H5T_STRING' type. - * For an HDF4 Vdata, it is difficult to determine whether data - of type 'DFNT_CHAR8' is intended to be bytes or characters. The - h4toh5 utility will consider them to be C characters, and will - convert them to an HDF5 'H5T_STRING' type. - - - 3. Compression, Chunking and External Storage - - Chunking is supported, but compression and external storage is not. - - An HDF4 object that uses chunking will be converted to an HDF5 file - with analogous chunked storage. - - An HDF4 object that uses compression will be converted to an - uncompressed HDF5 object. - - An HDF4 object that uses external storage will be converted to an - HDF5 object without external storage. - - 4. Memory Use - - This version of the h4toh5 utility copies data from HDF4 objects - in a single read followed by a single write to the HDF5 object. For - large objects, this requires a very large amount of memory, which may - be extremely slow or fail on some platforms. - - Note that a dataset that has only been partly written will - be read completely, including uninitialized data, and all the - data will be written to the HDF5 object. - - 5. Platforms - - The h4toh5 utility requires HDF5-1.4.0 and HDF4r1.4 - - h4toh5 utility has been tested on all platforms listed below (see - section "Platforms Tested") except TFLOPS. - - -F90 Support -=========== - This is the first release of the HDF5 Library with fully integrated - F90 API support. The Fortran Library is created when the - --enable-fortran flag is specified during configuration. - - Not all F90 subroutines are implemented. Please refer to the HDF5 - Reference Manual for more details. - - F90 APIs are available for the Solaris 2.6 and 2.7, Linux, DEC UNIX, - T3E, SV1 and O2K (64 bit option only) platforms. The Parallel version of - the HDF5 F90 Library is supported on the O2K and T3E platforms. - - Changes since the last prototype release (July 2000) - ---------------------------------------------------- - * h5open_f and h5close_f must be called instead of h5init_types and - h5close_types. - - * The following subroutines are no longer available: - - h5pset_xfer_f - h5pget_xfer_f - h5pset_mpi_f - h5pget_mpi_f - h5pset_stdio_f - h5pget_stdio_f - h5pset_sec2_f - h5pget_sec2_f - h5pset_core_f - h5pget_core_f - h5pset_family_f - h5pget_family_f - - * The following functions have been added: - - h5pset_fapl_mpio_f - h5pget_fapl_mpio_f - h5pset_dxpl_mpio_f - h5pget_dxpl_mpio_f - - * In the previous HDF5 F90 releases, the implementation of object - references and dataset region references was not portable. This - release introduces a portable implementation, but it also introduces - changes to the read/write APIs that handle references. If object or - dataset region references are written or read to/from an HDF5 file, - h5dwrite_f and h5dread_f must use the extra parameter, n, for the - buffer size: - - h5dwrite(read)_f(dset_id, mem_type_id, buf, n, hdferr, & - ^^^ - mem_space_id, file_space_id, xfer_prp) - - For other datatypes the APIs were not changed. - - -C++ Support -=========== - This is the first release of the HDF5 Library with fully integrated - C++ API support. The HDF5 C++ library is built when the --enable-cxx - flag is specified during configuration. - - Check the HDF5 Reference Manual for available C++ documentation. - - C++ APIs are available for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7, Linux, and FreeBSD. - - -Pablo Support -============= - This version does not allow proper building of the Pablo-instrumented - version of the library. A version supporting the pablo build is - available on the Pablo Website at - www-pablo.cs.uiuc.edu/pub/Pablo.Release.5/HDFLibrary/hdf5_v1.4.tar.gz - - -Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.2.0 -========================== - -Library -------- - * The function H5Pset_mpi is renamed as H5Pset_fapl_mpio. - * Corrected a floating point number conversion error for the Cray J90 - platform. The error did not convert the value 0.0 correctly. - * Error was fixed which was not allowing dataset region references to - have their regions retrieved correctly. - * Corrected a bug that caused non-parallel file drivers to fail in - the parallel version. - * Added internal free-lists to reduce memory required by the library - and H5garbage_collect API function - * Fixed error in H5Giterate which was not updating the "index" - parameter correctly. - * Fixed error in hyperslab iteration which was not walking through the - correct sequence of array elements if hyperslabs were staggered in a - certain pattern - * Fixed several other problems in hyperslab iteration code. - * Fixed another H5Giterate bug which was causes groups with large - numbers of objects in them to misbehave when the callback function - returned non-zero values. - * Changed return type of H5Aiterate and H5A_operator_t typedef to be - herr_t, to align them with the dataset and group iterator functions. - * Changed H5Screate_simple and H5Sset_extent_simple to not allow - dimensions of size 0 with out the same dimension being unlimited. - * QAK - 4/19/00 - Improved metadata hashing & caching algorithms to - avoid many hash flushes and also remove some redundant I/O when - moving metadata blocks in the file. - * The "struct(opt)" type conversion function which gets invoked for - certain compound datatype conversions was fixed for nested compound - types. This required a small change in the datatype conversion - function API. - * Re-wrote lots of the hyperslab code to speed it up quite a bit. - * Added bounded garbage collection for the free lists when they run - out of memory and also added H5set_free_list_limits API call to - allow users to put an upper limit on the amount of memory used for - free lists. - * Checked for non-existent or deleted objects when dereferencing one - with object or region references and disallow dereference. - * "Time" datatypes (H5T_UNIX_D*) were not being stored and retrieved - from object headers correctly, fixed now. - * Fixed H5Dread or H5Dwrite calls with H5FD_MPIO_COLLECTIVE requests - that may hang because not all processes are transfer the same amount - of data. (A.K.A. prematured collective return when zero amount data - requested.) Collective calls that may cause hanging is done via the - corresponding MPI-IO independent calls. - * If configure with --enable-debug=all, couple functions would issue - warning messages to "stderr" that the operation is expensive time-wise. - This messed up applications (like testings) that did not expect the - extra output. It is changed so that the warning will be printed only - if the corresponding Debug key is set. - -Configuration -------------- - * The hdf5.h include file was fixed to allow the HDF5 Library to be - compiled with other libraries/applications that use GNU autoconf. - * Configuration for parallel HDF5 was improved. Configure now attempts - to link with libmpi.a and/or libmpio.a as the MPI libraries by - default. It also uses "mpirun" to launch MPI tests by default. It - tests to link MPIO routines during the configuration stage, rather - than failing later as before. One can just do "./configure - --enable-parallel" if the MPI library is in the system library. - * Added support for pthread library and thread-safe option. - * The libhdf5.settings file shows the correct machine byte-sex. - * Added option "--enable-stream-vfd" to configure w/o the Stream VFD. - For Solaris, added -lsocket to the LIBS list of libraries. - -Tools ------ - * h5dump now accepts both short and long command-line parameters: - -h, --help Print a usage message and exit - -B, --bootblock Print the content of the boot block - -H, --header Print the header only; no data is displayed - -i, --object-ids Print the object ids - -V, --version Print version number and exit - -a P, --attribute=P Print the specified attribute - -d P, --dataset=P Print the specified dataset - -g P, --group=P Print the specified group and all members - -l P, --soft-link=P Print the value(s) of the specified soft link - -o F, --output=F Output raw data into file F - -t T, --datatype=T Print the specified named data type - -w #, --width=# Set the number of columns - - P - is the full path from the root group to the object. - T - is the name of the data type. - F - is a filename. - # - is an integer greater than 1. - * A change from the old way command line parameters were interpreted - is that multiple attributes, datasets, groups, soft-links, and - object-ids cannot be specified with just one flag but you have to - use a flag with each object. I.e., instead of doing this: - - h5dump -a /attr1 /attr2 foo.h5 - - do this: - - h5dump -a /attr1 -a /attr2 foo.h5 - - The cases are similar for the other object types. - * h5dump correctly displays compound datatypes. - * Corrected an error in h5toh4 which did not convert the 32bits - int from HDF5 to HDF4 correctly for the T3E platform. - * h5dump correctly displays the committed copy of predefined types - correctly. - * Added an option, -V, to show the version information of h5dump. - * Fixed a core dumping bug of h5toh4 when executed on platforms like - TFLOPS. - * The test script for h5toh4 used to not able to detect the hdp - dumper command was not valid. It now detects and reports the - failure of hdp execution. - * Merged the tools with the 1.2.2 branch. Required adding new - macros, VERSION12 and VERSION13, used in conditional compilation. - Updated the Windows project files for the tools. - * h5dump displays opaque and bitfield data correctly. - * h5dump and h5ls can browse files created with the Stream VFD - (eg. "h5ls <hostname>:<port>"). - * h5dump has a new feature "-o <filename>" which outputs the raw data - of the dataset into ascii text file <filename>. - * h5toh4 used to converts hdf5 strings type to hdf4 DFNT_INT8 type. - Corrected to produce hdf4 DFNT_CHAR type instead. - * h5dump and h5ls displays array data correctly. - - -Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.0-beta2 -================================ - * Fixed a bug in the conversion from a little endian double to a big - endian float in some special cases. - * Corrected configuration error which was not including compression - support correctly. - * Cleaned up lots of warnings. - * Changed a few h5dump command line switches and added long versions of - the switches. - * Changed parameters for H5Tconvert, H5Pset_bufer and H5Pget_buffer from - size_t to hsize_t - * Fixed fairly obscure bug in hyperslab I/O which could (in rare cases) - not copy all the data during a transfer. - * Removed ragged array code from library. - * F90 library and module files are installed properly now on all supported - platforms. - - -Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.0 Release -================================== - - * Fixed bug with contiguous hyperslabs not being detected, causing - slower I/O than necessary. - * Fixed bug where non-aligned hyperslab I/O on chunked datasets was - causing errors during I/O - * Implemented XML support in h5dump. - - -Documentation -============= - * A new document summarizing the changes in the library leading up to - the current release has been added: - HDF5 Software Changes from Release to Release - This document is in the Application Developer's Guide and is of - particular interest to developers who must keep an application - synchronized with the library. - * The documentation for the Fortran90 and C++ APIs is linked to the - opening page of the Reference Manual.

If another - application is already using that port address, the test will hang - indefinitely and has to be terminated by the kill command. To try the - test again, change the port address in test/stream_test.c to one not - being used in the host. - - * The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for Solaris - platforms. This is due to the fact that not all of the system - libraries on Solaris are available in a static format. - - The --enable-static-exec configure flag also fails to correctly compile - on Linux platforms using the gcc-2.95.2 compiler. - - The --enable-static-exec configure flag also fails to correctly compile - on IBM SP2 platform for the serial mode. The parallel mode works fine - with this option. - - The compilation fails if configured with --enable-static-exec on IRIX 6.5. - - The executable files in hdf5/bin are dynamic-linked for IRIX64 6.5(64 and - n32 modes) and IRIX 6.5, even though they are compiled with static library. - - It is suggested that you don't use this option on these platforms - during configuration. - - * testhdf5 got bus error with configuration options --prefix and --with-hdf4 - on IRIX 6.5. - - * With the gcc 2.95.2 compiler, HDF 5 uses the `-ansi' flag during - compilation. The ANSI version of the compiler complains about not being - able to handle the `long long' datatype with the warning: - - warning: ANSI C does not support `long long' - - This warning is innocuous and can be safely ignored. - - * SunOS 5.6 with C WorkShop Compilers 4.2: Hyperslab selections will - fail if library is compiled using optimization of any level. - - * When building hdf5 tools and applications on windows platform, a linking - warning: defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs will appear - on debug version when running VC++6.0. This warning doesn't affect building - and testing hdf5 applications. We will continue investigating this. - - * h5toh4 converter fails two cases(tstr.h5 and tmany.h5) for release dll - version on windows 2000 and NT. The reason is possibly due to Windows NT - DLL convention on freeing memory. It seems that memory cannot be freed - across library or DLL. It is still under investigation. - - * HDF-GASS testings and testhdf5 in the test directory will get bus error if - the configured with --with-gass. - - * HDF-SRB testing got segmentation error on Solaris 2.7. - - * The Stream VFD was not tested yet under Windows. - It is not supported in the TFLOPS machine. - - * Shared library option is broken for IBM SP and some Origin 2000 platforms. - One needs to run ./configure with '--disable-shared --enable-static'. - - * The ./dsets tests failed in the TFLOPS machine if the test program, - dsets.c, is compiled with the -O option. The hdf5 library still works - correctly with the -O option. The test program works fine if it is - compiled with -O1 or -O0. Only -O (same as -O2) causes the test - program to fail. - - * Certain platforms give false negatives when testing h5ls: - - Solaris x86 2.5.1, Cray T3E and Cray J90 give errors during testing - when displaying object references in certain files. These are benign - differences due to the difference in sizes of the objects created on - those platforms. h5ls appears to be dumping object references - correctly. - - Cray J90 give errors during testing when displaying - some floating-point values. These are benign differences due to the - different precision in the values displayed and h5ls appears to be - dumping floating-point numbers correctly. - - * Before building HDF5 F90 Library from source on Crays (T3E and SV1) - replace H5Aff.f90, H5Dff.f90 and H5Pff.f90 files in the fortran/src - subdirectory in the top level directory with the Cray-specific files from - the ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/hdf5-1.4.0/src/crayf90/ directory. - - * The h4toh5 utility produces images that do not correctly conform - to the HDF5 Image and Palette Specification. - - http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc/ImageSpec.html - - Several required HDF5 attributes are omitted, and the dataspace - is reversed (i.e., the ht. and width of the image dataset is - incorrectly described.)

The current release requires the - MPI application must make a collective call to extend the - dimensions of an extendable dataset before writing to the - newly extended area. (The serial does not require the - call of H5Dextend. The dimensions of an extendable - dataset is increased when data is written to beyond the - current dimensions but within the maximum dimensions.) - The required collective call of H5Dextend may be relaxed - in future release. - - This release only support independent read and write accesses - to extendable datasets. Collective accesses to extendable - datasets will be implemented in future releases. - - o Collective access to fixed dimension datasets. - Collective access to a dataset can be specified in the transfer - property list argument in H5Dread and H5Dwrite. The current - release supports collective access to fixed dimension datasets. - Collective access to extendable datasets will be implemented in - future releases. - - o HDF5 files are opened according to Communicator and INFO object. - H5Dopen now records the communicator and INFO setup by H5Pset_mmpi - and pass them to the corresponding MPIO open file calls for - processing. - - o This release has been tested on IBM SP2, Intel Red and SGI Origin 2000 - systems. It uses the ROMIO version of MPIO interface for parallel - I/O supports. - - - -%%%%1.0.0%%%% Release Information for hdf5-1.0.0 - -3. Changes from the Beta 1.0.0 Release to Release 1.0.0 -==================================================================== - -* Added fill values for datasets.

Chunked datasets using fill values do not - incur any additional overhead. See H5Pset_fill_value(). - -* Multiple hdf5 files can be "mounted" on one another to create a - larger virtual file. See H5Fmount(). - -* Object names can be removed or changed but objects are never - actually removed from the file yet. See H5Gunlink() and H5Gmove(). - -* Added a tuning mechanism for B-trees to insure that sequential - writes to chunked datasets use less overhead. See H5Pset_btree_ratios(). - -* Various optimizations and bug fixes. - - - -%%%%1.0.0 Beta%%%% Release Information for hdf5-1.0.0 Beta - -2. Changes from the Second Alpha 1.0.0 Release to the Beta 1.0.0 Release -========================================================================= - -* Strided hyperslab selections in dataspaces now working. - -* The compression API has been replaced with a more general filter - API. See doc/html/Filters.html for details. - -* Alpha-quality 2d ragged arrays are implemented as a layer built on - top of other hdf5 objects. The API and storage format will almost - certainly change. - -* More debugging support including API tracing. See Debugging.html. - -* C and Fortran style 8-bit fixed-length character string types are - supported with space or null padding or null termination and - translations between them. - -* Added function H5Fflush() to write all cached data immediately to - the file. - -* Datasets maintain a modification time which can be retrieved with - H5Gstat(). - -* The h5ls tool can display much more information, including all the - values of a dataset. - - - -%%%%1.0.0 Alpha 2%%%% Release Information for hdf5-1.0.0 Alpha 2 - -1. Changes from the First Alpha 1.0.0 Release to - the Second Alpha 1.0.0 Release -===================================================================== - -* Two of the packages have been renamed. The data space API has been - renamed from `H5P' to `H5S' and the property list (template) API has - been renamed from `H5C' to `H5P'. - -* The new attribute API `H5A' has been added. An attribute is a small - dataset which can be attached to some other object (for instance, a - 4x4 transformation matrix attached to a 3-dimensional dataset, or an - English abstract attached to a group). - -* The error handling API `H5E' has been completed. By default, when an - API function returns failure an error stack is displayed on the - standard error stream. The H5Eset_auto() controls the automatic - printing and H5E_BEGIN_TRY/H5E_END_TRY macros can temporarily - disable the automatic error printing. - -* Support for large files and datasets (>2GB) has been added. There - is an html document that describes how it works. Some of the types - for function arguments have changed to support this: all arguments - pertaining to sizes of memory objects are `size_t' and all arguments - pertaining to file sizes are `hsize_t'. - -* More data type conversions have been added although none of them are - fine tuned for performance. There are new converters from integer - to integer and float to float, but not between integers and floating - points. A bug has been fixed in the converter between compound - types. - -* The numbered types have been removed from the API: int8, uint8, - int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, float32, and float64. - Use standard C types instead. Similarly, the numbered types were - removed from the H5T_NATIVE_* architecture; use unnumbered types - which correspond to the standard C types like H5T_NATIVE_INT. - -* More debugging support was added. If tracing is enabled at - configuration time (the default) and the HDF5_TRACE environment - variable is set to a file descriptor then all API calls will emit - the function name, argument names and values, and return value on - that file number. There is an html document that describes this. - If appropriate debugging options are enabled at configuration time, - some packages will display performance information on stderr. - -* Data types can be stored in the file as independent objects and - multiple datasets can share a data type. - -* The raw data I/O stream has been implemented and the application can - control meta and raw data caches, so I/O performance should be - improved from the first alpha release. - -* Group and attribute query functions have been implemented so it is - now possible to find out the contents of a file with no prior - knowledge. - -* External raw data storage allows datasets to be written by other - applications or I/O libraries and described and accessed through - HDF5. - -* Hard and soft (symbolic) links are implemented which allow groups to - share objects. Dangling and recursive symbolic links are supported. - -* User-defined data compression is implemented although we may - generalize the interface to allow arbitrary user-defined filters - which can be used for compression, checksums, encryption, - performance monitoring, etc. The publicly-available `deflate' - method is predefined if the GNU libz.a can be found at configuration - time. - -* The configuration scripts have been modified to make it easier to - build debugging vs. production versions of the library. - -* The library automatically checks that the application was compiled - with the correct version of header files. - - - Parallel HDF5 Changes - -* Parallel support for fixed dimension datasets with contiguous or - chunked storages. Also, support unlimited dimension datasets which - must use chunk storage. No parallel support for compressed datasets. - -* Collective data transfer for H5Dread/H5Dwrite. Collective access - support for datasets with contiguous storage only, thus only fixed - dimension datasets for now. - -* H5Pset_mpi and H5Pget_mpi no longer have the access_mode - argument. It is taken over by the data-transfer property list - of H5Dread/H5Dwrite. - -* New functions H5Pset_xfer and H5Pget_xfer to handle the - specification of independent or collective data transfer_mode - in the dataset transfer properties list. The properties - list can be used to specify data transfer mode in the H5Dwrite - and H5Dread function calls. - -* Added parallel support for datasets with chunked storage layout. - When a dataset is extend in a PHDF5 file, all processes that open - the file must collectively call H5Dextend with identical new dimension - sizes. - - - LIST OF API FUNCTIONS - -The following functions are implemented. Errors are returned if an -attempt is made to use some feature which is not implemented and -printing the error stack will show `not implemented yet'. - -Library - H5check - check that lib version matches header version -

(For information about the HDF5 library, model and -specification, see the HDF documentation.) This document is an additional -specification do define a standard profile for how to store image data -in HDF5. Image data in HDF5 is stored as HDF5 datasets with standard attributes -to define the properties of the image. -<p>This specification is primarily concerned with two dimensional raster -data similar to HDF4 Raster Images. Specifications for storing other -types of imagery will be covered in other documents. -<p>This specification defines: -<ul> -<li> -Standard storage and attributes for an Image dataset (<a href="#Sect1">Section -1</a>)</li> - -<li> -Standard storage and attributes for Palettes (<a href="#sect2">Section -2</a>)</li> - -<li> -Standard for associating Palettes with Images.

HDF5 Image Specification</h2> - -<h3> -1.1 Overview</h3> -Image data is stored as an HDF5 dataset with values of HDF5 class Integer -or Float. A common example would be a two dimensional dataset, with -elements of class Integer, e.g., a two dimensional array of unsigned 8 -bit integers. However, this specification does not limit the dimensions -or number type that may be used for an Image. -<p>The dataset for an image is distinguished from other datasets by giving -it an attribute "CLASS=IMAGE". In addition, the Image dataset may -have an optional attribute "PALETTE" that is an array of object references -for zero or more palettes. The Image dataset may have additional attributes -to describe the image data, as defined in <a href="#Sect1.2">Section 1.2</a>. -<p>A Palette is an HDF5 dataset which contains color map information. -A Pallet dataset has an attribute "CLASS=PALETTE" and other attributes -indicating the type and size of the palette, as defined in <a href="#sect2">Section -2.1</a>. A Palette is an independent object, which can be shared -among several Image datasets. -<h3> -<a NAME="Sect1.2"></a>1.2 Image Attributes</h3> -The attributes for the Image are scalars unless otherwise noted. -The length of String valued attributes should be at least the number of -characters.

Following -HDF4 terminology, the data may be interlaced by pixel or by plane, which -should be indicated by the INTERLACE_MODE attribute. In both -cases, the dataset will have a dataspace with three dimensions, height, -width, and components. The interlace modes specify different orders -for the dimensions. -<br> -<table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="100%" > -<caption><b>Table 3.

Each component is an unsigned byte. In HDF5, -the datatype would be declared as an unsigned 8 bit integer. For -pixel interlace, the dataspace would be a three dimensional array, with -dimensions: [10][5][3]. For plane interleave, the dataspace would -be three dimensions: [3][10][5]. -<p>In the case of images with only one component, the dataspace may be -either a two dimensional array, or a three dimensional array with the third -dimension of size 1. For example, a 5 by 10 image with 8 bit color -indexes would be an HDF5 dataset with type unsigned 8 bit integer. -The dataspace could be either a two dimensional array, with dimensions -[10][5], or three dimensions, with dimensions either [10][5][1] or [1][10][5]. -<p>Image datasets may be stored with any chunking or compression properties -supported by HDF5. -<p><b>A note concerning compatibility with HDF5 GR interface: </b>An Image -dataset is stored as an HDF5 dataset. It is important to note that -the order of the dimensions is the same as for any other HDF5 dataset. -For a two dimensional image that is to be stored as a series of horizontal -scan lines, with the scan lines contiguous (i.e., the fastest changing -dimension is 'width'), the image will have a dataspace with <i>dim[0] = -height</i> and <i>dim[1]</i> = <i>width</i>. This is completely consistent -with all other HDF5 datasets. -<p>Users familiar with HDF4 should be cautioned that <i>this is not the -same as HDF4</i>, and specifically is not consistent with what the HDF4 -GR interface does. -<br> -<h2> -<a NAME="sect2"></a>2. HDF5 Palette Specification</h2> - -<h3> -2.1 Overview</h3> -A palette is the means by which color is applied to an image and is also -referred to as a color lookup table. It is a table in which every row contains -the numerical representation of a particular color. In the example of an -8 bit standard RGB color model palette, this numerical representation of -a color is presented as a triplet specifying the intensity of red, green, -and blue components that make up each color. -<center> -<p><img SRC="Palettes.fm.anc.gif" ></center> - -<p>In this example, the color component numeric type is an 8 bit unsigned -integer. While this is most common and recommended for general use, other -component color numeric datatypes, such as a 16 bit unsigned integer , -may be used. This type is specified as the type attribute of the palette -dataset. (see H5Tget_type(), H5Tset_type()) -<p>The minimum and maximum values of the component color numeric are specified -as attribute of the palette dataset. See below (attribute PAL_MINMAXNUMERIC). -If these attributes do not exist, it is assumed that the range of values -will fill the space of the color numeric type. i.e. with an 8 bit unsigned -integer, the valid range would be 0 to 255 for each color component. -<p>The HDF5 palette specification additionally allows for color models -beyond RGB. YUV, HSV, CMY, CMYK, YCbCr color models are supported, and -may be specified as a color model attribute of the palette dataset. <i>(see -"Palette Attributes" for details)</i>. -<p>In HDF 4 and earlier, palettes were limited to 256 colors. The HDF5 -palette specification allows for palettes of varying length. The length -is specified as the number of rows of the palette dataset. -<br> -<br> -<table BORDER COLS=1 WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#666666" > -<tr> -<td><font color="#FFFFFF">Important Note: The specification of the Indexed -Palette will change substantially in the next version. The Palette -described here is <i>denigrated</i> and is not supported.</font></td> -</tr> -</table> - -<br> -<table BORDER COLS=1 WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#CCCCCC" > -<tr> -<td><i>Denigrated</i> -<p>In a standard palette, the color entries are indexed directly. HDF5 -supports the notion of a range index table. Such a table defines an ascending -ordered list of ranges that map dataset values to the palette. If a range -index table exists for the palette, the PAL_TYPE attribute will be set -to "RANGEINDEX", and the PAL_RANGEINDEX attribute will contain an object -reference to a range index table array. If not, the PAL_TYPE attribute -either does not exist, or will be set to "STANDARD". -<p>The range index table array consists of a one dimensional array with -the same length as the palette dataset - 1. Ideally, the range index would -be of the same type as the dataset it refers to, however this is not a -requirement. -<p><b>Example 2: A range index array of type floating point</b> -<center> -<p><img SRC="PaletteExample1.gif" ></center> - -<p>The range index array attribute defines the "<i>to</i>" of the range. -Notice that the range index array attribute is one less entry in size than -the palette.

The second -entry signifies that all values greater than 0.1259 up to 0.3278 inclusive, -will map to the second palette entry, etc. All value greater than the last -range index array attribute (100000) map to the last entry in the palette.</td> -</tr> -</table> - -<h3> -<a NAME="sect2.2"></a>2.2.

This would be a valid -HDF5 file, but not conformant to this specification. The rules defined -in this specification must be implemented with appropriate software, and -applications must use conforming software to assure correctness. -<p>The Image and Palette specifications include several redundant standard -attributes, such as the <b>IMAGE_COLORMODEL</b> and the <b>PAL_COLORMODEL</b>. -These attributes are informative not normative, in that it is acceptable -to attach a Palette to an Image dataset even if their attributes do not -match.

This should make them execute - more quickly on some machines. - Also, when tests pass, they will create a foo.chkexe file. - This prevents the test from executing again until the test or - main library changes. - - On windows, all.zip is deprecated. users should - read INSTALL_Windows.txt to know the details. - Reasons to deprecate all.zip: - 1. Avoid confliction for windows programmers - 2. Decrease size of CVS tree by adding all.zip - 3. Avoid using winzip as the intermediate step - --KY 2005/04/22 - - When HDF5 is created as a shared library, it now uses libtool's - shared library versioning scheme. -JML 2005/04/18 - - HDF5 now uses automake 1.9.5 to generate Makefiles.in. - This has a number of effects on users: - The Fortran compiler should be set using the environment - variable $FC, not $F9X. F9X still works, but is depreciated. - The output of make may be different. This should be only a - cosmetic effect. - make depened (or make dep) is no longer recognized, since automake - handles dependency tracking. - Some new configure options exist. --enable-dependency-tracking - and --disable-dependency-tracking are used to control automake's - dependency tracking. Dependencies are on by default *on most - platforms and compilers*. If --enable-dependency-tracking is - used, they will be enabled on any platform. However, this can - slow down builds or even cause build errors in some cases. - Likewise, --disable-dependency-tracking can speed up builds and - avoid some build errors. - Some make targets have alternate names. make check-install and - make installcheck do the same thing, for instance. - pmake on IRIX can be invoked from the root directory, but the - -V flag must be used to invoke it in any subdirectory or it - will give an error about undefined variables. - JML 2005/01 - 2005/03 - - Hardware conversion between long double and integers is also added. - SLU 2005/02/10 - - Started to support software conversion between long double and - integers. Hardware conversion will come very soon. SLU - 2005/1/6 - - Intel v8.0 compiler would infinite loop when compiling some test - code with -O3 option. Changed enable-production default compiler - option to -O2. AKC - 2004/12/06 - - Long double is assumed to be a supported C data type. It is a - stanadard C89 type. AKC - 2004/10/22 - - The IA64 will use ecc as the C++ compiler by default. - - Added some initial support for making purify (or similar memory - checking products) happier by initializing buffers to zero and - disabling the internal free list code. To take advantage of this, - define 'H5_USING_PURIFY' in your CFLAGS when building the library. - QAK - 2004/07/23 - - Fixed the long compile time of H5detect.c when v7.x Intel Compiler - is used with optimization NOT off. AKC - 2004/05/20 - - Fixed configure setting of C++ for OSF1 platform. AKC - 2004/01/06 - - Prefix default is changed from /usr/local to `pwd`/hdf5. - AKC - 2003/07/09 - - Library: - -------- - - Added H5F_OBJ_LOCAL flag to H5Fget_obj_count() & H5Fget_obj_ids(), to - allow querying for objects in file that were opened with a particular - file ID, instead of all objects opened in file with any file ID. - QAK - 2005/06/01 - - Added H5T_CSET_UTF8 character set to mark datatypes that use the - UTF-8 Unicode character encoding. Added tests to ensure that - library handles UTF-8 object names, attributes, etc. -JL 2005/05/13 - - HDF5 supports collective MPI-IO for irregular selection with HDF5 - dataset. Irregular selection is when users use H5Sselect_hyperslab - more than once for the same dataset. - Currently, not all MPI-IO packages support complicated MPI derived - datatype used in the implementation of irregular - selection INSIDE HDF5. - 1) DEC 5.x is not supporting complicated derived datatype. - 2) For AIX 5.1 32-bit, - if your poe version number is 3.2.0.19 or lower, - please edit powerpc-ibm-aix5.x under hdf5/config, - Find the line with - << hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>> - and UNCOMMENT this line before the configure. - check poe version with the following command: - lpp -l all | grep ppe.poe - For AIX 5.1 64-bit, - regardless of poe version number, please UNCOMMENT - << hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>> under hdf5/config. - We suspect there are some problems for MPI-IO implementation - for 64-bit. - 3) For Linux cluster, - if mpich version is 1.2.5 or lower, collective irregular selection - IO is not supported, internally independent IO is used. - 4) For IRIX 6.5, - if C compiler version is 7.3 or lower, collective irregular selection - IO is not supported, internally independent IO is used. - KY - 2005/07/13 - - HDF5 N-bit filter - HDF5 support N-bit filter from this version, - The N-Bit filter is used effectively for compressing data of N-Bit - datatype as well as compound and array datatype with N-Bit fields. - KY - 2005/04/15 - - HDF5 scaleoffset filter - HDF5 supports scaleoffset filter for users to do data - compression through HDF5 library. - Scale-Offset compression performs a scale and/or offset operation - on each data value and truncates the resulting value to a minimum - number of bits and then stores the data. - Scaleoffset filter supports floating-point and integer datatype. - Please check the HDF5 reference manual for this. - KY - 2005/06/06 - - Retired SRB vfd (--with-srb). Functions H5Pset_fapl_srb and - H5Pget_fapl_srb were removed. EIP - 2005/04/07 - - Retired GASS vfd (--with-gass). Functions H5Pset_fapl_gass and - H5Pget_fapl_gass are removed too. AKC - 2005/3/3 - - Pablo was removed from the source code EIP - 2005/01/21 - - Modified registration of SZIP to dynamically detect the presence - or absence of the encoder. Changed configure and Makefiles, - and tests to dynamically detect encoder. BEM - 2004/11/02 - - Added function H5Pget_data_transform, together with the previously - added H5Pset_data_transform, to support the data transform - feature. AKC - 2004/10/26 - - Compound datatype has been enhanced with a new feature of size - adjustment. The size can be increased and decreased(without - cutting the last member) as long as it doesn't go down to zero. - No API change is involved. SLU - 2004/10/1 - - Put back 6 old error API functions to be backward compatible with - version 1.6. They are H5Epush, H5Eprint, H5Ewalk, H5Eclear, - H5Eset_auto, H5Eget_auto. Their new equivalent functions are - called H5Epush_stack, H5Eprint_stack, H5Ewalk_stack, - H5Eclear_stack, H5Eset_auto_stack, H5Eget_auto_stack. SLU - - 2004/9/2 - - 4 new API functions, H5Tencode, H5Tdecode, H5Sencode, H5Sdecode were - added to the library. Given object ID, these functions encode and - decode HDF5 objects(data type and space) information into and from - binary buffer. SLU - 2004/07/21 - - Modified the way how HDF5 calculates 'pixels_per_scanline' parameter for - SZIP compression. Now there is no restriction on the size and shape of the - chunk except that the total number of elements in the chunk cannot be - bigger than 'pixels_per_block' parameter provided by the user. - EIP - 2004/07/21 - - Added support for SZIP without encoder. Added H5Zget_filter_info - and changed H5Pget_filter and H5Pget_filter_by_id to support this - change. JL/NF - 2004/06/30 - - SZIP always uses K13 compression. This flag no longer needs to - be set when calling H5Pset_szip. If the flag for CHIP - compression is set, it will be ignored (since the two are mutually - exclusive).

This is a default compiler. - - HDF5 Fortran APIs are supported on MAC OSX with Absoft F95 compiler - version 8.2; set F9X environment varibale to f95, for example - setenv F9X f95 - Use --disable-shared --enable-static configure flags when Absoft - compiler is used. - EIP - 2004/07/27 - - HDF5 Fortran APIs are supported on MAC OSX with IBM XL Fortran - Compiler version 8.1 Use "--disable-shared --enable-static" - configure flags along with the "--enable-fortran" flag to build - Fortran library. EIP - 2004/01/07 - -Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.6.0 release -================================== - - Library - ------- - - More bug fixes on holding open files that are mounted and have - IDs open. QAK - 2005/07/14 - - Don't unmount child files until the parent file actually closes. - (Previously, if an object is holding open a file, the child files - would get unmounted too early). QAK - 2005/07/05 - - Fixed bug where unmounted files could cause the library to go into - an infinite loop when shutting down. QAK - 2005/06/30 - - The library didn't save the information of family driver in file. - The original file member size was lost after file was closed (see - bug #213). This has been fixed by saving driver name and member - file size in the superblock. SLU - 2005/6/24 - - Fixed bug with hyperslab selections that use selection offsets and - operate on chunked datasets going into infinite loop or dumping - core. QAK - 2005/06/17 - - Corrected memory leak and possible corruption when opening a group. - QAK - 2005/06/17 - - Added check for opaque datatype tags being too long (check against - H5T_OPAQUE_TAG_MAX, currently set to 256). QAK - 2005/06/14 - - Fixed various errors in maintaining names for open objects in the - face of unusual mount & unmount operations. QAK - 2005/06/08 - - "SEMI" and "STRONG" file close degree settings now apply only to the - particular file ID being closed, instead of operating on all open - file IDs for a given file. QAK - 2005/06/01 - - For family driver, the library didn't save member size in file. - When file is reopened, the size of 1st member file determine the - member size. Now member size is saved in file and is used to - define member file size. Wrong file access property of member size - will result in a failure. Using any other driver except family - will cause library to return error. So is multi driver. SLU - - 2005/05/24 - - Fixed error in opening object in group that was opened in mounted - file which has been unmounted. QAK - 2005/03/17 - - Fixed a racing condition in MPIPOSIX virtual file drive close - function. Now all processes must completed the close before any - of them is returned. This prevents some "faster" processes start - accessing the file for another purpose (e.g., open with truncate) - while other "slower" processes have not closed the same file with - the previous purpose. AKC - 2005/03/01 - - H5Tget_member_value calls for enum datatype didn't return correct - value if H5Tenum_valueof was called first. It's fixed. SLU - - 2005/02/08 - - For variable-length string, H5Tget_class returned H5T_STRING as its - class. But H5Tdetect_class and H5Tget_member_class considered it - as H5T_VLEN. This is fixed to let all these 3 functions treat it - as H5T_STRING. SLU - 2005/02/08 - - The byte order of 1-byte integer types was fixed as little endian - even on a big-endian machine. This has been corrected. SLU - - 2005/02/07 - - Fix segmentation fault when calling H5Fflush with an attribute that - hasn't had a value written to it open. QAK - 2004/10/18 - - Back up supporting bitfield and time types in H5Tget_native_type. - Leave it to future support. The function simply returns error - message of "not support" for bitfield and time types. - SLU - 2004/10/5 - - Fixed address check in Core VFL driver to avoid spurious address/size - overflows for odd valued addresses and/or sizes. QAK - 2004/09/27 - - Fixed parallel bug in which some processes attempted collective - I/O while others did independent I/O. Bug appeared when some - processes used point selections, and others didn't. JRM - 2004/9/15 - - Corrected error where dataset region references were written in an - incorrect way on Cray machines. PVN & QAK - 2004/09/13 - - The H5Tget_native_type now determines the native type for integers - based on the precision. This is to avoid cases of wrongly converting - an int to a short in machines that have a short of 8 bytes but with - 32bit precision (e.g Cray SV1). PVN - 2004/09/07 - - Changed H5Dread() to not overwrite data in an application's buffer - with garbage when accessing a chunked dataset with an undefined - fill value and an unwritten chunk is uncountered. QAK - 2004/08/25 - - Fixed error which could cause a core dump when a type conversion - routine was registered after a compound datatype had been - converted and then an equivalment compound datatype was converted - again. QAK - 2004/08/07 - - Fixed memory overwrite when encoding "multi" file driver information - for file's superblock. QAK - 2004/08/05 - - Fixed obscure bug where a filter which failed during chunk allocation - could allow library to write uncompressed data to disk but think - the data was compressed. QAK - 2004/07/29 - - Fixed bug where I/O to an extendible chunked dataset with zero-sized - dimensions would cause library to fail an assertion. - QAK - 2004/07/27 - - Fixed bug where chunked datasets which have filters defined, - allocation time set to "late" and whose chunks don't align with - the dataspace bounds could have incorrect data stored when - overwriting the entire dataset on the first write. QAK - 2004/07/27 - - Added check to ensure that dataspaces have extents set. JML-2004/07/26 - - Fixed bug on some Solaris systems where HDF5 would try to use - gettimeofday() when that function didn't work properly. - JML - 2004/07/23 - - Fixed bug in H5Sset_extent_simple where setting maximum size to - non-zero, then to zero would cause an error. JML - 2004/07/20 - - Allow NULL pointer for buffer parameter to H5Dread & H5Dwrite - when not writing data ("none" selection or hyperslab or point - selection with no elements defined). QAK - 2004/07/20 - - Calling H5Gcreate() on "/" or "." throws an error instead of - failing quietly. JML - 2004/07/19 - - Fixed bug where setting file address size to be very small could - trigger an assert if the file grew to more than 64 KB. Now throws - an error and data can be recovered. JL/NF - 2004/07/14 - - Fixed bug where "resurrecting" a dataset was failing. - QAK - 2004/07/14 - - Fixed bug where incorrect data could be read from a chunked dataset - after it was extended. QAK - 2004/07/12 - - Fixed failure to read data back from file of compound type with - variable-length string as field. SLU - 2004/06/10 - - Fixed potential file corruption bug when a block of metadata could - overlap the end of the internal metadata accumulator buffer and - the buffer would be extended correctly, but would incorrectly - change it's starting address. QAK - 2004/06/09 - - Opaque datatype with no tag failed for some operations. Fixed. - SLU - 2004/6/3 - - Fixed potential file corruption bug where dimensions that were - too large (a value greater than could be represented in 32-bits) - could cause the incorrect amount of space to be allocated in a - file for the raw data for the dataset. QAK - 2004/06/01 - - Fixed dtypes "sw long double -> double" failure in QSC class - machines. AKC - 2004/4/16 - - Fixed problem with fletcher32 filter when converting data of different - endianess. PVN - 2004/03/10 - - Fixed problem with H5Tget_native_type() not handling opaque fields - correctly. QAK - 2004/01/31 - - Fixed several errors in B-tree deletion code which could cause a - B-tree (used with groups and chunked datasets) to become corrupt - with the right sequence of deleted objects. QAK - 2004/01/19 - - Fixed small internal memory leaks of fill-value information. - QAK - 2004/01/13 - - Fixed bug that caused variable-length datatypes (strings or sequences) - used for datasets in files with objects that were unlinked to - fail to be read/written to a file. QAK - 2004/01/13 - - Detect situation where szip 'pixels per block' is larger than the - fastest changing dimension of a dataset's chunk size and disallow - this (due to limits in szip library). QAK - 2003/12/31 - - Fixed bug with flattened hyperslab selections that would generate - incorrect hyperslab information with certain high-dimensionality - combinations of start/stride/count/block information. - QAK - 2003/12/31 - - Fixed bug with variable-length datatypes used in compound datatypes. - SLU - 2003/12/29 - - Fixed bug in parallel I/O routines that would cause reads from - "short datasets" (datasets which were only partially written out) - to return invalid data. QAK & AKC - 2003/12/19 - - Fixed bug where scalar dataspaces for attributes were reporting as - simple dataspaces. QAK - 2003/12/13 - - Fixed problem with selection offsets of hyperslab selections in - chunked datasets causing the library to go into an infinite loop. - QAK - 2003/12/13 - - Fixed H5Giterate to avoid re-using index parameter after iteration - callback has been called (allows iteration callback to modify the - index parameter itself). QAK - 2003/12/06 - - Fixed various floating-point conversion problems, including a - change which could corrupt data when converting from double->float. - QAK - 2003/11/24 - - Changed "single process" metadata writing in library to collective - I/O by all processes, in order to guarantee correct data being - written with MPI-I/O. QAK - 2003/11/20 - - Fixed problems with fill values and variable-length types and also - I/O on VL values that were set to NULL. QAK - 2003/11/08 - - Fixed problems with MPI datatypes that caused ASCI Q machine to - hang. QAK - 2003/10/28 - - Removed HDF5_MPI_PREFER_DERIVED_TYPES environment variable support, - since it had no benefit. QAK - 2003/10/28 - - Single hyperslab selections (which were set with only one call to - H5Sselect_hyperslab) that had dimensions that could be "flattened" - but were interspersed with dimensions that could not be flattened - were not correctly handled, causing core dumps. QAK - 2003/10/25 - - Fixed incorrect datatype of the third parameter to the Fortran90 - h5pset(get)_cache_f subroutine (INTEGER to INTEGER(SIZE_T)) - EIP - 2003/10/13 - - Fixed problems with accessing variable-length data datatypes on - Crays. QAK - 2003/10/10 - - Fixed potential file corruption bug when too many object header - messages (probably attributes, from a user perspective) were - inserted into an object header and certain other conditions were - met. QAK - 2003/10/08 - - Changed implementation of internal ID searching algorithm to avoid - O(n) behavior for many common cases. QAK - 2003/10/06 - - Allow partial parallel writing to compact datasets.

There was a bug in the calculating code of the Fletcher32 - checksum in the library before v1.6.3. The checksum value wasn't consistent - between big-endian and little-endian systems. This bug was fixed in - Release 1.6.3. However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value is no - longer the same as before on little-endian system. The library release - after 1.6.4 can still read the dataset created or rewritten with the library - of v1.6.2 or before. SLU - 2005/6/30 -* For the version 6(6.02 and 6.04) of Portland Group compiler on AMD Opteron - processor, there's a bug in the compiler for optimization(-O2). The library - failed in several tests but all related to multi driver. The problem has - been reported to the vendor. -* On windows XP, Fortran DLLs are not working with DEC Fortran 6.6c and Intel - 8.1. -* On IBM AIX systems, parallel HDF5 mode will fail some tests with error - messages like "INFO: 0031-XXX ...". This is from the command poe. - Set the environment variable MP_INFOLEVEL to 0 to minimize the messages - and run the tests again. - The tests may fail with messages like "The socket name is already - in use". HDF5 does not use sockets (except for stream-VFD). This is - due to problems of the poe command trying to set up the debug socket. - Check if there are many old /tmp/s.pedb.* staying around. These are - sockets used by the poe command and left behind due to failed commands. - Ask your system administrator to clean them out. Lastly, request IBM - to provide a mean to run poe without the debug socket. - -* The C++ library's tests fails when compiling with PGI C++ compiler. The - workaround until the problem is correctly handled is to use the - flag "--instantiate=local" prior to the configure and build steps, as: - setenv CXX "pgCC --instantiate=local" for pgCC 5.02 and higher - setenv CXX "pgCC -tlocal" for others - -* The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output on some platforms - (e.g. parallel jobs, Windows) where the error messages directed to - "stderr" do not appear in the "right order" with output from stdout. - This is not an error. - -* The stream-vfd test uses ip port 10007 for testing. If another - application is already using that port address, the test will hang - indefinitely and has to be terminated by the kill command. To try the - test again, change the port address in test/stream_test.c to one not - being used in the host. - -* The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for Solaris - platforms. This is due to the fact that not all of the system - libraries on Solaris are available in a static format. - - The --enable-static-exec configure flag also fails to correctly compile - on IBM SP2 platform for the serial mode. The parallel mode works fine - with this option. - - It is suggested that you don't use this option on these platforms - during configuration. - -* With the gcc 2.95.2 compiler, HDF 5 uses the `-ansi' flag during - compilation. The ANSI version of the compiler complains about not being - able to handle the `long long' datatype with the warning: - - warning: ANSI C does not support `long long' - - This warning is innocuous and can be safely ignored. - - -* The Stream VFD was not tested yet under Windows. It is not supported - in the TFLOPS machine. - - -* The ./dsets tests failed in the TFLOPS machine if the test program, - dsets.c, is compiled with the -O option. The hdf5 library still works - correctly with the -O option. The test program works fine if it is - compiled with -O1 or -O0. Only -O (same as -O2) causes the test - program to fail. - -* Certain platforms give false negatives when testing h5ls: - - Cray J90 and Cray T90IEEE give errors during testing when displaying - some floating-point values. These are benign differences due to - the different precision in the values displayed and h5ls appears to - be dumping floating-point numbers correctly. - -* Before building HDF5 F90 Library from source on Crays - replace H5Aff.f90, H5Dff.f90 and H5Pff.f90 files in the fortran/src - subdirectory in the top level directory with the Cray-specific files - from the site: -ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.6.2/F90_source_for_Crays - -* On some platforms that use Intel and Absoft compilers to build HDF5 fortran library, - compilation may fail for fortranlib_test.f90, fflush1.f90 and fflush2.f90 - complaining about exit subroutine. Comment out the line - IF (total_error .ne. 0) CALL exit (total_error) - -* On IA32 and IA64 systems, if you use a compiler other than GCC (such as - Intel's ecc or icc compilers), you will need to modify the generated - "libtool" program after configuration is finished. On or around line 104 of - the libtool file, there are lines which look like: - - # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler. - wl="" - - change these lines to this: - - # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler. - wl="-Wl," - - UPDATE: This is now done automatically by the configure script. However, if - you still experience a problem, you may want to check this line in the - libtool file and make sure that it has the correct value. - -* Information about building with PGI and Intel compilers is available in - INSTALL file sections 5.7 and 5.8 - -* On at least one system, (SDSC DataStar), the scheduler (in this case - LoadLeveler) sends job status updates to standard error when you run - any executable that was compiled with the parallel compilers. - - This causes problems when running "make check" on parallel builds, as - many of the tool tests function by saving the output from test runs, - and comparing it to an exemplar. - - The best solution is to reconfigure the target system so it no longer - inserts the extra text. However, this may not be practical. - - In such cases, one solution is to "setenv HDF5_Make_Ignore yes" prior to - the configure and build. This will cause "make check" to continue after - detecting errors in the tool tests. However, in the case of SDSC DataStar, - it also leaves you with some 150 "failed" tests to examine by hand. - - A second solution is to write a script to run serial tests and filter - out the text added by the scheduler. A sample script used on SDSC - DataStar is given below, but you will probably have to customize it - for your installation. - - Observe that the basic idea is to insert the script as the first item - on the command line which executes the the test. The script then - executes the test and filters out the offending text before passing - it on. - - #!/bin/csh - - set STDOUT_FILE=~/bin/serial_filter.stdout - set STDERR_FILE=~/bin/serial_filter.stderr - - rm -f $STDOUT_FILE $STDERR_FILE - - ($* > $STDOUT_FILE) >& $STDERR_FILE - - set RETURN_VALUE=$status - - cat $STDOUT_FILE - - tail +3 $STDERR_FILE - - exit $RETURN_VALUE - - You get the HDF make files and test scipts to execute your filter script - by setting the environment variable "RUNSERIAL" to the full path of the - script prior to running configure for parallel builds. Remember to - "unsetenv RUNSERIAL" before running configure for a serial build. - - Note that the RUNSERIAL environment variable exists so that we can - can prefix serial runs as necessary on the target system. On DataStar, - no prefix is necessary. However on an MPICH system, the prefix might - have to be set to something like "/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1" to - get the serial tests to run at all. - - In such cases, you will have to include the regular prefix in your - filter script. |
