* [svn-r9930] James Laird2005-02-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Bug fix Description: Parallel builds were breaking in tools/lib Solution: talign didn't realize it depended on libh5tools.la because its dependencies listed the full path (../../tools/lib/libh5tools.la). Changed this, and made similar changes in a couple of other directories. This checkin should also add the --foreign flag to every Makefile.in Platforms tested: sleipnir (minor change)
* [svn-r9928] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-02-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Add basic code for new B-tree implementation. They don't do much yet, aren't hooked up to anything yet and the format may change, but I'd like to start getting them into the daily tests. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r9920] Purpose:James Laird2005-02-021-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem Solution: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in. Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in, configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it print any warnings. Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script, and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping to regenerate these files correctly. Platforms tested: heping sleipnir copper
* [svn-r9915] Purpose:James Laird2005-02-021-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Configuration files' timestamps were incorrect. Solution: Update Makefiles.in. Also added correct paths to autotools on heping, so heping build should be able to re-generate configuration files even if they are still broken. Platforms tested: sleipnir
* [svn-r9912] Purpose:James Laird2005-02-011-87/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Dependencies between configure files (aclocal, configure.in, configure, Makefiles.am and .in) are still causing Makefiles to try to run autotools during build. Solution: Committed all Makefiles.in to update their timestamps. As a temporary measure, forcibly prevented automake from running autotools during build by redefining the variables it uses. Platforms tested: sleipnir (No changes to Makefile content)
* [svn-r9907] Purpose:James Laird2005-02-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Different compilers use different flags to include Fortran module files Solution: Changed boilerplate to use configure variable rather than hardcoded -M flag. Platforms tested: sleipnir, sol, copper
* [svn-r9902] Purpose:James Laird2005-02-013-19/+456
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Configuration feature Description: HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles Solution: Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files. To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in): /bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh Platforms tested: Many

| | | | | | | New document committed. Description: Report of the Data Transform work.
* [svn-r8877] James Laird2004-07-141-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Bug Fix Description: If an HDF5 file grows larger than its address space, it dies and is unable to write any data. This is more likely to happen since users are able to change the number of bytes used to store addresses in the file. Solution: HDF5 now throws an error instead of dying. In addition, it "reserves" address space for the local heap and for object headers (which do not allocate space immediately). This ensures that after the error occurs, there is enough address space left to flush the entire file to disk, so no data is lost. A more complete explanation is at /doc/html/TechNotes/ReservedFileSpace.html Platforms tested: sleipnir, copper (parallel), verbena, arabica, Windows (Visual Studio 7) Solution: Platforms tested: Misc. update:
* [svn-r7757] Frank Baker2003-10-271-19/+18
| | | | | | Purpose: Standardize short HDF5 docs copyright notice (a trivial change so that DreamWeaver will stop updating it needlessly).

| | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Update or correct H5FDread/write/flush parameters. Description: H5FDread: Added 'type' parameter. (Fixes an unreported bug.) H5FDread/write: Changed 'size' parameter type to 'size_t'. (Update) H5FDflush: Added 'closing' parameter. Minor copy-edit in footer. Platforms tested: IE 5
* [svn-r3359] Purpose:Bill Wendling2001-02-052-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | Fix Description: Fixed the install-doc command... Solution: Mostly just fixed in the config/conclude.in file, but updated the doc directories with Makefile.ins and Dependencies so that they'd work. Platforms tested: Linux, Solaris
* [svn-r3108] Purpose:Bill Wendling2000-12-111-27/+84
| | | | | | Reformatted Platforms tested: Netscape
* [svn-r3103] Frank Baker2000-12-081-0/+4

* [svn-r3012] Purpose:Albert Cheng2000-11-282-404/+405
| | | | | | | | | | | | | New doc and update Description: The original openmp-hdf5.html contains a bunch of C source code. HTML does not like source code, especially C-code that contained <...>. It gobbled it badly. Solution: Moved the source code to a new file, openmp-hdf5.c and make a reference to it from openmp-hdf5.html. Platforms tested: Viewed via IE on an NT box.
* [svn-r3011] Purpose:Albert Cheng2000-11-281-23/+50

* [svn-r2756] Purpose:Albert Cheng2000-10-311-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "New" document Description: Raymond has prepared and added a new document reporting his experience of using HDF5 with OpenMP. It was checked in as a .txt file but browsers could not display it properly, at least not for the MS-IE. Solution: I renamed the file from openmp-test.txt to openmp-hdf5.html, added in simple mind html control statement (<pre>), added an entry to the TechNote.html so that it can be found with other technical notes. Platforms tested: Viewed by MS-IE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: This file describes the experiencing of OpenMP with hdf5. Description: All detailed description is in the file. Solution: [details about the changes, algorithm, etc...] [Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is better than others guessing it from the code.] Platforms tested: Everything was done on modi4.
* [svn-r2721] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2000-10-241-13/+74
| | | | | | | | | | Feature symmetry Description: A while ago I needed to get the 'type' of data being accessed during writes to the VFL driver, so I put in code to get the information down there. Albert asked for the same information during reads, so I've added that in. Tested: Netscape
