* [svn-r7003] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-06-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup/new features. Description: Clean up whitespace & formatting. Make the -S (simple) output display a dataset's modification time in UTC rather than local timezone. Display variable-length datatype information. Simplified & enhanced bitfield datatype information displayed. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committest

* [svn-r6975] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-06-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Don't attempt to perform collective I/O on chunked datasets. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel h5committested
* [svn-r6974] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-06-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Bump version # Description: Bump the version # of the library after creating snapshot for SAF developers to test with.
* [svn-r6950] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-06-041-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | API tweak. Description: The H5Sget_select_bounds() API call was using hsize_t arrays for retrieving the 'start' and 'end' coordinates, which is counter to the rest of the dataspace API. Solution: Change the arrays to be hssize_t instead. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/C++ FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel h5committested Misc. update: Updated all docs for this change. Added 1.4 compatibility #ifdef's

* [svn-r6945] Elena Pourmal2003-06-023-421/+2436
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Maintenance for 1.6 release Description: HISTORY.txt was not updated in 1.5 branch since 1.2.0 release. RELEASE.txt had a lot of redundant info that is now in HISTORY.txt INSTALL_Windows_withF90.txt was lost in 1.5 branch. Solution: I updated HISTORY.txt to include release history up to 1.4.5 release. After that I removed all information related to the 1.4.* releases from RELEASE.txt file. "Platforms Tested" section was brought up to date based on the information provided by developers for 1.6.0 first round of testing. RELEASE.txt still needs a lot of work. INSTALL_Windows_withF90.txt is also a first draft, more work is needed. Platforms tested: N/A Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Maintenance Description: I changed release version to 1.5.54. Email about tetsing of 1.5.53 will be send after this checkins. Solution: used bin/h5vers -s to change the version number Platforms tested: Done on arabica Misc. update:
* [svn-r6825] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-071-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature/enhancement Description: Chunked datasets are handled poorly in several circumstances involving certain selections and chunks that are too large for the chunk cache and/or chunks with filters, causing the chunk to be read from disk multiple times. Solution: Rearrange raw data I/O infrastructure to handle chunked datasets in a much more friendly way by creating a selection in memory and on disk for each chunk in a chunked dataset and performing all of the I/O on that chunk at one time. There are still some scalability (the current code attempts to create a selection for all the chunks in the dataset, instead of just the chunks that are accessed, requiring portions of the istore.c and fillval.c tests to be commented out) and performance issues, but checking this in will allow the changes to be tested by a much wider audience while I address the remaining issues. Platforms tested: h5committested, FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) serial & parallel, Linux 2.4 (eirene)
* [svn-r6800] Purpose:Pedro Vicente Nunes2003-05-051-3/+1

* [svn-r6795] Purpose:Bill Wendling2003-05-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feature Add Description: Added knob so that the programmer can enable or disable GPFS hints during runtime instead of having it only enabled at configure/compile time. Some of the public APIs were changed to add an extra parameter for this option... Platforms tested: Blue (LLNL). It only affects the MPI/POSIX driver, so no need to test it on non-GPFS platforms.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a little more comments on where to put DLL. Description: User can put HDF5DLL in the place where the application can find. It doesn't have to be at system directory. Solution: Add comments to "only suggest the user to use system directory". Platforms tested: text file, no need to be tested. Misc. update:

* [svn-r6632] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-04-111-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: This fixes a bug in the low-level metadata caching code in the library which could possibly lose metadata during file I/O when a lot of objects are inserted into a group. This also fixes a couple of (similar) fencepost bugs in the B-tree deletion code. Solution: For the metadata bug - call the low-level driver's 'write' routine instead of H5FD_write. For the B-tree bug - include the correct number of keys. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/C++ Linux 2.4 (burrwhite) w/FORTRAN Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/FORTRAN IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN & parallel (h5committest is still not working for me on burrwhite) Misc. update:

|
* [svn-r6464] Elena Pourmal2003-03-051-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Maintenance Description: * Added support for generic properties. * Added support for time allocation properties. * Added support for variable length datatypes (only datatypes based on INTEGER, REAL and CHARACTER Fortran types are supported). * added some missing functions Solution: I am checking in new Fortran APIs and their man pages to support 1.5 features listed above. Not all APIs have tests yet. APIs were written in Fall 2002, and I am afraid that I will loose the code or totally forget what I did if I wait longer. ;-) Platforms tested: arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran), modi4 (parallel, fortran)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: 1.update windows release doc related to the addition of semi-automatic generated H5Tinit.c project and workspace files. 2. Make the doc more clear. Description: 1. H5Tinit.c was manually maintained before and it might affect the users who wants to build and test from HDF5 snapshot release. 2. Make sure that we are supporting .Net only on XP and also emphasize to DLL users to the DLL critical section of the doc. Solution: 1. Add a section for those users to semi-auto generate H5Tinit.c. Platforms tested: Doc files, no need to test. Misc. update:

* [svn-r6387] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead of collectively from all processes. Solution: Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which could possibly trigger metadata I/O. Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during independent I/O. Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel Misc. update: Updated release_docs/RELEASE
* [svn-r6383] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-071-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature for developers. Description: Added "function stack" tracing to library. This allows developers (there is no public API) to call H5FS_print within the library and get a listing of the functions traversed to reach that point in the library. Eventually, I may add support for reporting the parameters to each function also... Mainly for debugging parallel I/O programs, but I think it will come in handy in other cases also. The function stack tracking is controlled with a configure switch: --enable-funcstack, which defaults to enabled currently. When we branch for 1.6, we should change the default setting on the branch to be disabled. Also, added a destructor to the thread-specific keys when thread-safety is turned on in the library. Otherwise, they were leaking memory and causing difficult to debug errors in threaded programs (like the test/ttsafe test). Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) w/thread-safety enabled. Misc. update: Updated MANIFEST with new files added (src/H5FS.c & src/H5FDprivate.h) Update release_docs/RELEASE with thread-safety bug fix.

* [svn-r6330] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-01-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: When calling H5Fopen with the core VFL driver, but without the H5F_ACC_CREAT flag goes ahead and creates a memory file. Solution: Check for the H5F_ACC_CREAT flag before allowing the memory file to be created. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
