* [svn-r9727] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-12-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-) Description: Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections. However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch, but not the other. I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label "before_signed_unsigned_changes".

* [svn-r7434] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-08-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix and code cleanup Description: Correct error in H5T_detect_class that was causing nested compound datatypes with to not detect the datatype class of fields correctly, which caused errors with fill-values, variable-length datatypes and chunks later on. Return the rank of the array datatype from H5Tget_array_dims(), like H5Sget_dims(). Lots of cleanups to datatype code, to make the handling of arrays, compound types, variable-length strings and sequences and enumerated types more consistent and robust. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest
