- h5repack
+ h5repack incorrectly searched internal object table for name.
+
+ h5repack would search the table of objects for a name, if the
+ name did not match it tried to determine if the name without a
+ leading slash would match. The logic was flawed! The table
+ stored names(paths) without a leading slash and did a strstr
+ of the table path to the name.
+ The assumption was that if there was a difference of one then
+ it was a match, however "pressure" would match "/pressure" as
+ well as "/pressure1", "/pressure2", etc. Changed logic to remove
+ any leading slash and then do a full compare of the name.

+
+ Reworked solution for HDFFV-8625 and HDFFV-8639. Implemented the check
+ for string objects of same type in the diff_can_type function by
+ adding an if(tclass1 == H5T_STRING) block. This if block moves the
+ same check that was added for attributes to this function, which is
+ used by all object types. This function also handles complex type
+ structures.
+ Also added a new test file in h5diffgenttest for testing this issue
+ and removed the temporary files used in the test scripts.
