| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ./INSTALL Added instructions about specifying a path for GNU zlib and HDF4 headers and library. Added comments for each of the tool names. Added h5toh4 as a tool name. ./configure.in ./conigure [REGENERATED] ./src/H5config.h.in [REGENERATED] The config/* scripts get invoked with $CC_BASENAME set the base name of the compiler in order to make it easier to handle setting compiler flags for different compilers in a big case statement. For instance, if $CC has the value /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpicc -ansi -64 then $CC_BASENAME will be `mpicc'. The $CC_BASENAME is not set if $CC is not set. Fixed alignment in `configure --help'. An include and/or library path can be specified for GNU zlib if configure can't find it in normal places. The "normal" means wherever your compiler normally searches, including search paths you've added through environment variables like CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. The INSTALL file has instructions. The `-ljpeg' library is detected. If `ssize_t' is not found then a #define is added to H5config.h similar to what we already do for `size_t'. We detect the hdf5 header file `mfhdf.h' and libraries `-lmfhdf' and `-ldf' and if found define the H5TOH4 and TESTH5TOH4 Makefile variables. The user can specify an include and/or library path. The INSTALL file has instructions. The `RUNTEST' variable has been split into `RUNSERIAL' and `RUNPARALLEL' because these are different commands. The makefile still uses `RUNTEST', which defaults to the RUNSERIAL value. The new testpar/Makefile.in sets RUNTEST to the RUNPARALLEL value. The default RUNSERIAL value is empty and the default RUNPARALLEL value is `mpirun -np 2'. These can both be overridden in the config/* files. To make the value the empty string set it like `RUNPARALLEL=none' in the config/* file. The new testpar/Makefile is generated from testpar/Makefile.in ./config/commence.in Added the RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL makefile definitions. ./src/Makefile.in The `H5detect' program is run with RUNSERIAL, which is empty on all platforms except intel-osf1 (ASCI/Red) ./config/conclude.in Removed the `.c.a:' implicit rule -- we don't use it any more. ./config/BlankForm ./config/alpha-dec ./config/alpha-dec-osf4.0 ./config/freebsd2.2.7 ./config/hpux10.20 ./config/hpux9.03 ./config/intel-osf1 ./config/irix5.3 ./config/irix6.2 ./config/irix64 ./config/linux ./config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0 ./config/rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.4.0 ./config/solaris2.5 All of these files have been updated to hande multiple compilers. Most of them assume `cc' if CC is not set. The documentation in `BlankForm' has been updated and documentation in the other files refer to `BlankForm'. The intel-osf1 uses LDFLAGS instead of LIBS to specify the extra library search paths. ./examples/Makefile.in ./test/Makefile.in ./tools/Makefile.in Simplified by grouping some dependency information together more succinctly. The tools Makefile.in has been modified to work with the `h5toh4' and `testh5toh4' programs. Until Paul checks these in you may have problems compiling. If so, just create files h5toh4.c and testh5toh4.c that contain: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { fprintf(stderr, "%s: not implemented\n", argv[0]); return 1; } ./src/H5public.h Removed definition for `ssize_t' since this is now handled by configure in H5config.h with a #define. ./MANIFEST ./testpar/Makefile.in [NEW] Added a makefile for parallel tests. As soon as we get this working properly we can remove the other four makefiles in that directory and maintain just one.

Removed zlib crew from the list of contributors since no zlib code is actually in the hdf5 library. ./INSTALL ./INSTALL.ascired ./MANIFEST Minor updates for Beta release including version number change. ./INSTALL_MAINT Added information about making a release. ./RELEASE Updated function list based on public header files. ./bin/checkposix Got rid of complaints about some obvious things. ./doc/html/H5.api.html ./doc/html/RM_H5F.html ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Fpublic.h ./test/tfile.c Changed H5Fget_create_template() and H5Fget_access_template() to H5Fget_create_plist() and H5Fget_access_plist() since that conforms better to lots of other names. ./doc/html/Datatypes.html ./doc/html/ExternalFiles.html ./doc/html/Files.html ./doc/html/H5.api.html ./doc/html/H5.sample_code.html ./doc/html/RM_H5F.html ./doc/html/RM_H5Front.html Changed `template' to `property list', etc. ./doc/html/Ragged.html [NEW] Documentation for ragged arrays. ./src/H5Iprivate.h ./src/H5Ipublic.h ./src/H5I.c Changed the scope of some symbols to be more local. ./src/H5.c ./src/H5AC.c ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5E.c ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Ffamily.c ./src/H5Fistore.c ./src/H5Flow.c ./src/H5Fsec2.c ./src/H5Fsplit.c ./src/H5Fstdio.c ./src/H5G.c ./src/H5Gnode.c ./src/H5HG.c ./src/H5I.c ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5Ocomp.c ./src/H5Odtype.c ./src/H5Oefl.c ./src/H5Omtime.c ./src/H5Oname.c ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5S.c ./src/H5Shyper.c ./src/H5Tbit.c ./src/H5Tconv.c ./src/H5V.c ./src/H5Z.c ./src/H5private.h Fixed some violations of our naming scheme by adding HD to the beginning of all Posix functions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ./MANIFEST Alphabetized. `d' comes before `e' :-) ./bin/release Added the `-batch' option which causes the script to not ask questions and to automatically update the minor version number and set the patch level back to `a'. This is intended to be used for the daily snapshots: #! /bin/sh set -e cd ~/hdf5 make distclean make test bin/release -batch tar compress gzip bzip2 mv ./releases/* /repository ./src/H5Z.c Removed warnings about unused variables when the zlib.h header file is present but libz.a isn't. ./INSTALL ./configure.in ./doc/html/tracing.html Made API tracing the default (you still need to define the HDF5_TRACE environment variable to get results) and change the name from `--disable-tracing' to `--disable-trace' to make it consistent with the other switches. Changed `site config file' to `host config file' to match the documentation. ./doc/html/H5.user.html Added a reference to the `tracing.html' file.

The `x' was removed from the name to remind us of that: H5MM_xmalloc() -> H5MM_malloc(), etc. H5MM_calloc() takes one argument like H5MM_malloc() instead of two like calloc() because we almost always called it with `1' for one of the arguments anyway. The only difference between the two functions is that H5MM_calloc() returns memory which is initialized to zero. ./src/H5Gent.c ./src/H5Gprivate.h Removed H5G_ent_calloc() since it wasn't used. ./src/H5Fistore.c Fixed a bug found by Albert. Thanks, Albert! This fix combined with the changes to memory allocation prevent the library from failing an assertion if the application uses an unreasonable size for chunks (like Alberts 10000x10000x4). ./src/H5MF.c ./src/H5MFprivate.h Changed H5MF_free() to H5MF_xfree() since calling it with an undefined address is allowed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ./bin/release ./src/H5.c ./src/H5private.h ./src/H5public.h ./src/H5Fpublic.h Changed the version number constants to names that begin with H5_VERS_ and added macros that check that the version numbers in the include files match the version number of the library. ./MANIFEST ./html/H5.user.html ./html/Version.html [NEW] ./html/version.obj [NEW] ./html/version.gif [NEW] Documented version numbers and the macros, constants, and functions associated with them. ./bin/versinc A perl script that increments the minor version number and sets the patch level back to zero. This is intended to be invoked from the top of the source tree by a cvs commit anywhere in the source tree. Quincey? ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5Oprivate.h Added H5O_count() to count the number of object header messages of a particular type. Quincey needs this for the attribute package. ./test/dsets.c Fixed warnings. Enabled the small strip-mine buffer test. ./config/linux Added optimizations for the Pentium-Pro for production mode.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ./INSTALL Added instructions for which C flags to set for debugging. ./src/H5C.c ./src/H5Cpublic.h H5Cset_chunk() takes const pointer. ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5Dprivate.h ./src/H5Dpublic.h Added H5Dextend() to extend the dimensions of a dataset. ./src/H5Osdspace.c ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Pprivate.h ./src/H5Ppublic.h ./test/cmpd_dset.c ./test/dsets.c ./test/th5p.c Added the optional `maxdims' argument to H5Pcreate_simple() and defined constant H5P_UNLIMITED which can appear in the maxdims. Added `const' to arguments. Implemented H5Pcopy() Removed the unused file argument from H5P_modify. Added H5P_extend(). Removed the `flags' field from simple data types and we determine if the `max' or `perm' arrays are valid by looking at the pointer. Cleaned up the H5O_sdspace_debug output. ./src/H5T.c Fixed a printf format. ./MANIFEST ./test/Makefile.in ./test/extend.c [NEW] Added a test for multi-dimensional unlimited dimensions.
* [svn-r205] Changes since 19980130Robb Matzke1998-01-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ./INSTALL ./Makefile.dist ./Makefile.in ./config/conclude.in Some stupid make's don't know what PHONY means. I added changed config to _config in the default makefile and added _test to the other makefiles. ./src/H5Psim.c A `file_offset' argument got changed to `int' accidently that causes tests to fail on 64-bit machines. I changed it back to size_t. ./src/H5T.c Changed a couple printf formats.

Check for overflow in address encoding and decoding. ./src/H5Ffam.c ./src/H5Fprivate.c ./test/istore.c Implementation of file families so 32-bit machines can access 64-bit files. ./src/H5Oprivate.h Removed H5O_NO_ADDR constant. ./config/freebsd2.2.1 ./config/linux Added -DH5G_DEBUG and -DH5F_DEBUG to the list of debugging flags. ./html/H5.format.html Changed some <offset>-sized things to <length>-sized things. ./src/H5AC.c ./src/H5ACprivate.h ./src/H5B.c ./src/H5Bprivate.h ./src/H5C.c ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Fcore.c ./src/H5Fistore.c ./src/H5Flow.c ./src/H5Fprivate.h ./src/H5Fsec2.c ./src/H5Fstdio.c ./src/H5G.c ./src/H5Gent.c ./src/H5Gnode.c ./src/H5Gpkg.h ./src/H5Gprivate.h ./src/H5Gshad.c ./src/H5Gstab.c ./src/H5H.c ./src/H5Hprivate.h ./src/H5MF.c ./src/H5MFprivate.h ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5Ocont.c ./src/H5Oistore.c ./src/H5Oprivate.h ./src/H5Ostab.c ./src/H5Ostdst.c ./src/H5pivate.h ./src/debug.c ./test/istore.c ./test/theap.c ./test/tohdr.c ./test/tstab.c Lots of changes caused by generalizing addresses. The haddr_t is now a struct, so you can no longer perform arithmetic on it. But since it's small, simple, and often used, storage is allocated like with an integer. But we always pass them around by reference. That is, when using an address in another struct, allocate space: struct my_struct { char *name; haddr_t address; } x; But when passing it to a function, pass by reference: H5F_addr_print (stderr, &(x.address)); Addresses should be initialized with H5F_addr_undef (&(x.address)); Functions for operating on addresses are in H5Flow.c and begin with H5F_addr_... Functions never return haddr_t or haddr_t*; they always pass them through arguments instead. A function that returns an address through an argument does so with its last argument and it is marked with `/*out*/'. Calls to such functions also mark output-only arguments with `/*out*/' ./src/H5Fsplit.c (new) A two-member family where all meta data goes in the first member and all raw data goes in the second member. ./src/H5B.c ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Ffamily.c ./src/H5Fistore.c ./src/H5Flow.c ./src/H5Fprivate.h ./src/H5Fsec2.c ./src/H5Fstdio.c ./src/H5Gnode.c ./src/H5H.c ./src/H5MF.c ./src/H5MFprivate.h ./src/H5O.c Differentiate between meta data storage and raw data storage. Provide a mechanism so that the file driver can extend the file to allocate more memory. ./src/H5E.c ./src/H5Epublic.c Added the error H5E_TRUNCATED to be reported when the file is shorter than the length recorded in the boot block. ./src/H5F.c Added H5F_locate_signature() so we only do it in one place now. ./INSTALL ./INSTALL_MAINT Just a couple clarifications. ./html/ExternalFiles.html ./html/storage.html Documents how external files work. ./test/hyperslab.c ./test/istore.c Fixed printf's on 64-bit machines. ./test/istore.c Added ifdef's to test the split file driver.
