* [svn-r11838] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-12-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Retrieving an object's name could fail (in various ways) under certain circumstances (mostly having to do with mounted files). Solution: Re-write & simplify "get object name" code to fix error in a better way than adding yet another hack to the previous pile of hacks... :-) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) h5committest

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Unstable format version marker. Description: This marks the Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the source code for managing groups and object headers. Earlier versions (1.7.52 or earlier) have the original format. This version and later have the unstable format until further notice. Platforms tested: h5committested.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the source code for managing groups and object headers. WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not be able to read your old files!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! Solution: There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them include: - Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol table entries on disk. - Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally. - Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t - Lots more... Platforms tested: h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable- length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working correctly. I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) h5committested

Also fix bug in symbol table entry lookup code that would "transfer" an object from one file handle to another file handle when the two file handles were opened on the same actual file.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add more comments for collective chunk IO supports. Description: On some platforms that use mpich library internally, we have no way to check mpich version number. We have to manually turn off the collective IO supports. One example is Altix(cobalt). Just put a comment there so that we won't forget about this. Solution: Platforms tested: Misc. update:

* [svn-r11054] Purpose: Bug fix.Raymond Lu2005-07-081-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Description: There was a bug in the calculating code of the Fletcher32 checksum in the library before v1.6.3. The checksum value wasn't consistent between big-endian and little-endian systems. This bug was fixed in Release 1.6.3. However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value is no longer the same as before on little-endian system. Solution: Made the library compare both the correct checksum and incorrect checksum generated from v1.6.2 or before. This makes the library be backward compatible but not forward compatible. Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss. Misc. update: Documented the forward incompatibility problem in the Known Problem section in RELEASE.txt
* [svn-r11022] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-07-051-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix & code cleanup Description: Don't unmount child files from a parent file if the parent file is being held open by an object. Also, moved the mounting routines into their own source file and the superblock routines into their own file also. Solution: Moved the code for unmounting child files down in the H5F_close routine and also add checks to the file and group mounting code to unmount child files when the last object holding open a file closes. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) h5committest
* [svn-r11013] Purpose:James Laird2005-07-011-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Fixed bugs that caused tests to be unable to find testhdf5.sh during daily tests, and another that broke sol and shanti. Solution: When tests are run, their path is ./$testname . When scripts are run, their path has no leading "./". Fixed. Sol and shanti don't recognize the -e option for test, but they do know -f. Fixed. Also modified release notes. Platforms tested: mir, shanti, heping
* [svn-r11009] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-07-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: When a series of files is mounted on one another and one of those files is not unmounted, the library gets confused at shutdown and goes into an infinite loop in the file interface. Solution: If there are still files left in the "closing" state when shutting down the file API, iterate over those file IDs and unmount any child files that we find mounted on those files. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Too minor to require h5committest

* [svn-r10970] Purpose: New feature/bug #350 fixElena Pourmal2005-06-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Description: When compiler flag was used to set the size of Fortran integer to 8 bytes, library would fail. Solution: Cleaned up the code; added detection of Fortran INTEGER type size and appropriately defined int_f type for C-stubs routines. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.8 32 and 64-bit, AIX 5.1 64-bit parallel PGI Fortran with -i8 flag on heping Absoft Fortran with -i8 flag on heping g95 on mir (Fortran integer is 8 bytes by default that cannot be changed - compiler bug ;-) AIX Fortran with -qintsize=8 32 and 64-bit modes on copper Misc. update:
* [svn-r10951] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-06-181-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Hyperslab selections that had a selection offset and were applied to a chunked dataset could get into an infinite loop or core dump if the same selection was used multiple times, with different selection offsets. Solution: "Normalize" the selection with the selection offset, generate the selections for the chunks overlapped and then "denormalize" the selection.
