* [svn-r4913] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-02-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | Feature add Description: Added note about a new API function.
* [svn-r4891] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-01-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code speedup Description: Chunking I/O routines are reading in an entire chunk when performing I/O on the chunk, even if the chunk will be too large to cache. Solution: If the chunk is too large to cache, uncompressed and has been allocated space in the file, or if we are using the MPI-I/O VFD, perform the I/O directly to the chunk, instead of reading the chunk into memory, updating it and immediately writing the entire chunk back out. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) (using serial access) and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) (using parallel access with MPI-I/O)

* [svn-r4851] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-01-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: When file space was returned to the file space free-list for reuse, occasionally raw data allocations which used space from the free-list would overlap with the metadata accumulator and get over-written with the cached information in the accumulator, corrupting the data. Solution: Check if the space about to be recycled on the free-list is going to be used for raw data and also overlaps with the metadata accumulator cache, avoiding using space that fits those criteria. This fixes bug #701 Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)

* [svn-r4789] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-01-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | Document bug Description: Mention that h5dump and h5ls are not displaying variable-length string datatype information correctly. I've also entered a more detailed bug into the bug database.

| | | | | | | Purpose: Doc Description: Added that we support PHDF5 on Hp-UX11.
* [svn-r4747] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-12-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix. Description: The H5Rget_object_type function could not get the object type for dataset region references. Solution: Added a new function, H5Rget_obj_type, to replace H5Rget_object_type. The new function requires the reference type as an additional parameter, in order to allow queries on different reference types to be performed correctly. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4. (sleipnir)
* [svn-r4735] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-12-181-0/+2
| | | | | | Bug Fix Description: Document bug fix.
* [svn-r4716] Raymond Lu2001-12-131-0/+8
| | | | | | | Purpose: Update Description: New feature of file close behavior.
* [svn-r4706] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-12-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Tweaked internal error handling macros to reduce the size of the library's object code by about 10-20%. Also cleaned up some compiler warnings... Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r4695] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-12-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: The file metadata macros generate unaligned access warnings on the IA64 architecture. Solution: Got rid of bogus big-endian vs. little-endian differentiation when encoding and decoding file metadata and use proper set of macros to prevent unaligned access problems. This fixes bug #672. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r4693] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-12-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: The code in H5Sselect_hyperslab_valid contained an fencepost error and is allowing selections which overlap the extent by exactly one element in any dimension to pass as valid instead of flagging the selection as invalid. This bug only affects hyperslabs which have been OR'ed together, not the selection from a single H5Sselect_hyperslab. This fixes bug #550. Solution: Changed an '>' to an '>=' and added new regression test to check for error. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r4680] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-12-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Property that H5P(g|s)et_hyper_cache uses is no longer in use inside the library. Solution: Removed H5P(g|s)et_hyper_cache API functions, except when backward compatibility is turned on. When backward compatibility is turned on, the property is defined by the library, but unused internally. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (sleipnir)

* [svn-r4617] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-11-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | Update document Description: Note a big fix that didn't make it into the document when the bug fix code was checked in.
* [svn-r4601] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-11-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Document bug fix. Description: The internal B-tree code was dumping core with an assertion failure when flushing data to the file if too many objects were put into the same B-tree (forcing the root node to split, I think). Solution: Fixed the B-tree copy routine to copy the correct number of raw keys. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind), Solaris 2.6 (baldric)

* [svn-r4482] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-09-261-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kludge Description: Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the APIs settled down. Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old and new property lists smoothly. Solution: Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle dealing with both the old and new property lists Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
