* Sync with develop (#2849)Dana Robinson2023-04-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Cherry pick of ea7dfcd (Change Powershell to PowerShell in docs) to 4497feb (Update H5Dget_space_status bug note to reference 1.14.0)
* Remove 1.14 release schedule (#2743)Dana Robinson2023-04-142-34/+0
| | | | | | There is no need to maintain the release schedule in each branch, so it's being removed from all branches aside from develop. Also removes the badges that don't pertain to 1.14
* Update release_docs HISTORY scheme (#2443)Dana Robinson2023-02-131-0/+107

* Simplify function enter macros for performance benefits (#1024)David Young2021-11-081-0/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Take a stab at using constructors to initialize instead of function-entry macros. This is a work in progress. It's good enough to run `many_dsets`. * Committing clang-format changes * Add the `many_dsets` benchmark and some scripts I used on jelly for setting up the build/test environment and for recording/flame-graphing profiles. * Committing clang-format changes * Change my Makefile and environment script to work both on jelly and on mayll (and probably on Summit). * Disable clang-format "fix." * Replace the `if (!H5_TERM_GLOBAL)` test in each FUNC_ENTER_ macro with `if (true)`. * Fix bad grammar in a comment. * Instead of labeling the H5*__init_package routines constructors, fold each into an initialization routine, H5*_init(), and call each of the H5*_init() routines. Call most of the H5*_init() routines from H5_init_library() in an explicit order that I found out earlier by instrumenting each __init_package routine and running the library tests. Roll H5FD*__init_package routines into H5FD*_init() routines. This change ends just-in-time initialization of package dependencies by package initializers. Don't track in per-package variables (H5_PKG_INIT_VAR) whether each package has been initialized. Instead, track in a single library variable whether the whole library is initialized or not. Drive the initialization of packages by H5_init_library() with a table of initializer routines. Also drive the termination of packages by H5_term_library() with a table. Perform initialization as needed from FUNC_ENTER_API_INIT(err). This basically restores the old behavior of that macro. Delete a bunch of #definitions in H5private.h that have fallen out of use with these changes. * Committing clang-format changes * Undo the bad auto-formatting that appears to have occurred in spite of my disabling it. Bracket some code in /* clang-format off */ /* clang-format on */ to prevent a recurrence. * Remove a diagnostic abort(). * Fix a logic error: print a comma between every package terminator run, and don't print an initial comma. * Complete the changes I started in H5_term_library() that undo the bad auto-formatting. Stop tracking whether package "tops" were initialized in per-package variables H5*_top_package_initialize_s. H5_term_library() takes care of that for them. Remove H5R_top_term_package() and H5R_term_package(), they don't do anything. * Committing clang-format changes * NFCI. Simplify macro text: replace `if (true) {` with `{`. * Fix formatting and suppress clang-format on a longer range. * Quiet some unused label, unused variable complaints that cropped up after I simplified the FUNC_ENTER_ macros for the sake of performance. * Committing clang-format changes * Delete some programs and scripts that don't belong in the pull request. * Use the right function-entry macro. * Use a sensible format and disable auto-formatting. * Stop calling do-nothing initializer H5FS_init(). Delete it. * Document what changes to make if the default VFD changes. * While I am here, change an `await_prior` flag on the terminator table to `true` to match the previous, non-table-driven code that was here. Found the oversight making the following changes: NFCI: insert an empty line and copy over slightly-edited comments from the previous version, where those comments still correctly explained how library termination operated. * NFCI: lower a staircase. * Replace every occurrence of FUNC_ENTER_NOAPI_INIT(...) with H5_PUSH_FUNC since that is all that that macro does any more. Quiet a bunch of new warnings by changing FUNC_ENTER_NOAPI(...) to FUNC_ENTER_NOAPI_NOERR and removing disused `done:` labels. * NFCI: add curly braces around a multiline statement. * Quiet a signed/unsigned comparison warning. * Add some documentation about library initialization and shutdown. * Make sure that the library is initialized, or else that initialization is already underway, before performing any VFD's initialization. * Committing clang-format changes * Committing clang-format changes * Reduce differences from `develop` branch. * Always initialize `tot_init`. * Committing clang-format changes * Fix typo: H5SL_init initializes skip lists, not VOL. * Remove H5_TERM_GLOBAL test in H5T_init. H5T_init was unusual in that it tested H5_TERM_GLOBAL and exited early if it was set. No other module initializers did that, and I cannot find any reason that should be necessary. Tests still pass when I remove it, so away it goes. * Use HD prefix. * Add function header comments. * Drop the intermediate variable, it's only used once. * Extract subroutine `H5FDperform_init(hid_t (*init)(void))` that initializes the library, if necessary, before calling its VFD-initializer argument. Use H5FDperform_init in the definition of the symbols H5FD_<vfd> (e.g., H5FD_SEC2), which may be evaluated before the library is initialized, like so: ``` ``` I implement H5FDperform_init in its own source file, H5FDperform.c, and exclude that file from trace processing because the `bin/trace` cannot deal with the function-pointer type. * Straggler from last: add new source file src/H5FDperform.c. * Committing clang-format changes * Add a missing file to the MANIFEST. * Switch to FUNC_ENTER_API_NOINIT in H5FDperform_init() and hbool_t in H5_term_library().

* [svn-r11084] Frank Baker2005-07-19402-114737/+0
| | | | | | | | | Description: All HDF5 user documentation has been moved to a separate hdf5doc/ repository, managed under Subversion. With this 'cvs commit', all files are stripped from hdf5/doc/. THIS CHANGE IS APPLIED ONLY TO THE HDF5 DEVELOPMENT BRANCH, post Release 1.6.x; it is not applied to the release branches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once Description: When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of systems. When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents the test from running again unless the test or library changes. Solution: Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time. Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions as serial tests. Platforms tested: mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after checkin.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Description: See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine the member size. Solution: Hopefully, this is the last step of checkin for this stage. This step mainly enables h5repart tool to be able to convert file driver from family to sec2. Because the library saves family information in file, in trying to convert to sec2 driver, the library simply change the address of driver information to undefined so that the driver information block can be ignored. This step also updates the reference manual of H5Pset_fapl_family() and h5repart. In the fifth step of checkin, backward compatibility with v1.6 is tested. A family file created was created with the v1.6 library and opened with this version of the library. In the fourth step of checkin, a test suit is added for h5repart, including a program to generate the test files, a script file to run h5repart, and a program to verify repartitioned files can be opened by the library. There's a change from the first step of checkin. Family name template is no longer saved in the superblock because different pathname can make the name different. In the third step of checkin, h5repart has been modified. If h5repart is used to change the size of family member file, the new size(actual member size) is saved in the superblock. In the second step of checkin, multi driver is checked against the driver name saved in superblock. Wrong driver will result in a failure with an error message indicating multi driver should be used. This change includes split driver because it's a special case for multi driver. In the first step of checkin. Family member size and name template(unused at this stage) are saved in file superblock. When file is reopened,the size passed in thrin superblock. A different size will trigger a failure with an error message indicating the right size. Wrong driver to open family file will cause a failure, too. Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss. Misc. update: doc/html/RM_H5P.html and doc/html/Tools.html

* [svn-r10570] Purpose: MaintenanceElena Pourmal2005-04-0714-56/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Description: Removed support for SRB driver Solution: Removed or modified appropriate files; ran reconfigure to regenerate Makefile.in and configure files. Platforms tested: heping and shanti Misc. update: ran bin/chkmanifest on heping
* [svn-r10534] Purpose:James Laird2005-04-0414-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Configuration feature Description: Different Fortran compilers mangle function names in different ways (upper case, lower case, adding underscores). To link between Fortran and C functions, we need to know what a given function's name is under a given compiler. Solution: Use autoconf's FC_WRAPPERS check to determine the Fortran naming scheme and define the FC_FUNC_ macro to name our functions (in H5f90proto.h). Removed references to our old FNAME macro, as well as flags that indicated whether function names were upper or lower case. Platforms tested: mir, pommier, modi4, copper, more

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: On some machines, $RUNSERIAL variable needs to be used to run tests. Set $RUNTESTS (which is used for non-parallel tests) to be $RUNSERIAL in configure.am. Also, since I was updating all Makefiles.in anyway, I updated commence.am to point to autotools installs in AFS instead of those on heping. Platforms tested: mir, sleipnir, modi4, copper

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: "Bug fix" Description: Hardcoded Makefiles to use /bin/sh instead of letting configure detect shell automatically. This is what v1.6 does, and avoids problems on janus. Platforms tested: sleipnir, copper, modi4, mir
* [svn-r10475] Purpose:James Laird2005-03-2914-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feature - conditional compilation Description: SRB file driver and tests are now compiled only when SRB is enabled (using --with-srb during configure). Solution: Added an automake conditional in configure.in, altered Makefiles.am in src and test directories to depend on that conditional. This should make a nice example for posterity to add conditionally compiled sources. Platforms tested: heping (only configure change)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Automake version upgrade Description: Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5. Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5. Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables instead of FFLAGS and F9X. Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will be cleaned later). Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since automake no longer allows us to define unused variables. Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and will break otherwise. Platforms tested: Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
