The ranks which had no + selection in the dataset's dataspace called H5D__chunk_addrmap() to + retrieve the lowest chunk address in the dataset. This is because we + require reads/writes to be performed in strictly non-decreasing order + of chunk address in the file. + + When the chunk index used was a version 1 or 2 B-tree, these + non-participating ranks would issue a collective MPI_Bcast() call + that the participating ranks would not issue, causing the hang. Since + the non-participating ranks are not actually reading/writing anything, + the H5D__chunk_addrmap() call can be safely removed and the address used + for the read/write can be set to an arbitrary number (0 was chosen). + + (JTH - 2018/08/25, HDFFV-10501) + + Java Library: + ---------------- + - JNI native library dependencies + + The build for the hdf5_java native library used the wrong + hdf5 target library for CMake builds. Correcting the hdf5_java + library to build with the shared hdf5 library required testing + paths to change also. + + (ADB - 2018/08/31, HDFFV-10568) + + - Java iterator callbacks + + Change global callback object to a small stack structure in order + to fix a runtime crash. This crash was discovered when iterating + through a file with nested group members. The global variable + visit_callback is overwritten when recursion starts. When recursion + completes, visit_callback will be pointing to the wrong callback method. + + (ADB - 2018/08/15, HDFFV-10536) + + - Java HDFLibraryException class + + Change parent class from Exception to RuntimeException. + + (ADB - 2018/07/30, HDFFV-10534) + + - JNI Read and Write + + Refactored variable-length functions, H5DreadVL and H5AreadVL, + to correct dataset and attribute reads.

Autotools places the +COPYING and RELEASE.txt file in the root folder, CMake places them in +the share folder. + +The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake +creates dynamic versions of the tools with the suffix "-shared". Autotools +installs one set of tools depending on the "--enable-shared" configuration +option. + build scripts + ------------- + Autotools: h5c++, h5cc, h5fc + CMake: h5c++, h5cc, h5hlc++, h5hlcc + +The include folder holds the header files and the fortran mod files. CMake +places the fortran mod files into separate shared and static subfolders, +while Autotools places one set of mod files into the include folder. Because +CMake produces a tools library, the header files for tools will appear in +the include folder. + +The lib folder contains the library files, and CMake adds the pkgconfig +subfolder with the hdf5*.pc files used by the bin/build scripts created by +the CMake build. CMake separates the C interface code from the fortran code by +creating C-stub libraries for each Fortran library. In addition, only CMake +installs the tools library. The names of the szip libraries are different +between the build systems. + +The share folder will have the most differences because CMake builds include +a number of CMake specific files for support of CMake's find_package and support +for the HDF5 Examples CMake project. + %%%%1.10.3%%%% HDF5 version 1.10.3 released on 2018-08-21 |
