* [svn-r3602] Binh-Minh Ribler2001-03-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Usability enhancement Description: - Added more information about the failure to all the throw's, i.e, member function name and more detail about the failure, where appropriate. Also, added exception throws for private functions, such as p_close to provide more specific details. - Added two api functions: Exception::getFuncName() and Exception::getCFuncName() to provide the name of the member function where failure occurs. - Fixed some typos, one of which caused segn. fault in some situations (resetIdComponent was accidentally called twice in a couple of places :) Platforms: arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feasibility improvement Description: - Some member functions in class Exception can be called without an Exception instance exits, but because they are not static, they cannot. - Many exception throwings don't provide any information to callers. Solution: - Add 'static' to several member functions in class Exception. - Added <class name::function name> to some exceptions thrown in H5File.cpp and H5FcreatProp.cpp. I'm trying this for users' comments. More information may be added later and to all exceptions. - Changed the comment line for emacs editor to: // C++ informative line for the emacs editor: -*- C++ -*- because... I'd rather not say that the code "may look like C" :-) Platforms tested: Linux (gcc version egcs-2.91.66)

| | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: Added comments to the top of C++ files to indicate that it's a C++ file and not a C source code file. Also added a macro which makes emacs automagically enter c++-mode. (Recommended by Frank Schimmel fschimme@monsoon.CAPS.ou.edu)
* [svn-r3199] Binh-Minh Ribler2000-12-231-18/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: bug fix Description: I found a couple of places where virtual destructors were missing and could cause small memory leaks. Also, some destructors were not virtual when they should be. Solution: - added virtual destructors, which also free dynamically allocated memory - added virtual to several destructors - also, fixed several typos Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
* [svn-r3122] Purpose:Binh-Minh Ribler2000-12-131-35/+94
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix and improve Description: - Put functions that are common to H5File and Group into a prototype class, CommonFG. I didn't do that before because of the fear of the consequences of multiple inheritance, since H5File and Group already inherit from different super classes. I recently read a C++ book and learned to use MI more safely. This change reduced some more of code redundancy. - Added missing const to some function parameters Platforms tested: Solaris/CC 5.0 (arabica)
* [svn-r2897] Purpose:Binh-Minh Ribler2000-11-141-0/+62
C++ API for 1.3.x branch Description: The *.C and *.h files named different than those in 1.2.x. They are in the form: 'H5' + classname, or just classname if the classname is already prefixed with 'H5' to avoid ambiguity in documentation context. This version has several hidden bugs fixed and an improvement on the reference counting approach. The classes and their inheritance structure are listed below: --------------------------------------- H5Library Exception RefCounter IdComponent H5File DataSpace H5Object Group AbstractDs DataSet Attribute DataType PredType EnumType CompType AtomType StrType IntType FloatType PropList FileCreatPropList FileAccPropList DSetCreatPropList DSetMemXferPropList --------------------------------------- IdComponent uses RefCounter to keep track of opened objects so proper termination of HDF5 objects can be maintained. Each class has a .h file containing the class declaration and a .C file containing its definition. In addition to the classes files, the following files do not have class information: - H5Cpp.h: header file to be included in user's application - H5Idtemplates.h: contains a template function used by several classes - H5Classes.h: contains forward class declarations - H5CommonFG.*: contains common code used by classes H5File and Group - H5Include.h: contains the hdf5.h header file and the #undef RCSID to work around the problem: multiple defined RcsId - H5Alltypes.h: simply serves as a container to hold the header files of all datatypes to simplify the header file inclusion Platforms: Solaris (arabica) and Linux
