Fixed memory leak on error in print_enum in H5LT.c. r17993: (r17992 was not a Coverity change) Close Coverity issue #206: inconsistently checking whether dt->shared was non-NULL after H5T_alloc() returned a valid 'dt' value (which should guarantee that dt->shared is valid). r17994: Fix Coverity item 149. Fixed file handle leak on error in H5FD_stdio_open. r17995: Fixed Coverity issues 154 to 161: Added H5MP_close routine to error handling in the event *mp has not been freed before error. r17996: Close Coverity issue #126: potentially leaking merged_spans on routine failure. r17997: Fix Coverity items 147 and 148. Fixed resource leaks on error in H5FDloc.c. r17998: Coverity issue 269-272: Added integer result variable to functions that could return negative. Assigned to unsigned after checking. Added H5E_BEGIN_TRY block around H5Tclose and removed H5E_THROW in the catch block. Checked buffer is NULL before free. Changed HGOTO_ERROR outside of the if block to H5E_THROW. r17999: Close Coverity issue #127: release temporary spans in more generic manner. (Also add error checking to previous fix) r18000: Resolved Coverity issues 211 and 212 in H5T.c. Added comments to ignore Coverity warning regarding not checking pointer for NULL, as we are using an assert which catches the issue. r18001: Fix Coverity item 146. Fixed resource leak on error in H5O_layout_copy. r18002: Fix Coverity items 143 and 145. Fixed resource leaks on error in H5D_compact_copy and H5D_contig_copy. r18003: Close Coverity issue #192: close file on error r18004: Fix Coverity issue #125: release temporary spans on error r18005: Resolved Coverity issues 5, 25, and 83 (in H5T.c): Separated embedded functions in order to check for NULL on return of H5I_object before passing into H5T_copy. Check to see if new_dt is NULL within error handling before dereferencing it. Ignore Coverity's dead code warnings as the checks that lead to the code are machine dependent. r18006: Coverity 63,70,73: Checked result of function before assigning to an unsigned variable. r18007: Coverity 78,79: added continue statement if H5Pget_filter2 returns negative. r18008: Fixed Coverity issue # 138: Added support in error handling to free dst pointer (if allocated) on error. r18009: Whitespace & coding style cleanup Tested on: Mac OS X/32 10.6.2 (amazon) w/debug & production (h5committested on trunk)
* [svn-r17976] Bug fix for 1584. H5Tdetect_class said a VL string is a string ↵Raymond Lu2009-12-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | type. But when it's in a compound type, it says it's a VL type. We want to tell user a VL string is a string. But internally we treat it as a VL type. I added a flag as a parameter of H5T_detect_class. It tells whether the caller is the public function H5Tdetect_class. I also added a detection for VL string in the private function for the compound case (or array or nested VL type). Tested with h5committest.
* [svn-r17586] Purpose: Fix bug 1597Neil Fortner2009-10-021-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | Description: When copying a dataset using a vlen inside a compound, the various dataset copying callbacks would allocate a background buffer but would not use it when converting from disk to memory, only memory to disk. This caused an assertion failure as compounds always need a background buffer. These callbacks have been modified to use the background buffer for both conversions. Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
* [svn-r17404] Description:Quincey Koziol2009-08-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bring r17402 & r17403 from trunk to 1.8 branch: r17402: Switch from using a 'flags' parameter to the flush routine(s), to just using a single 'closing' boolean parameter, since that's all we're doing with the flags anyway and this makes things more obvious. r17403: Eliminate 'closing' flag to dataset flush routine, since all cached dataset information has already been flushed when a file is closed and the datasets themselves will be closed (and the dataset caches destroyed). Skip calling more flush routines when the file is closing, in preparation for eventual separation of the 'flush' concept from the 'shutdown the cache' concept.

Description: Omnibus raw data I/O revisions, with wide-ranging changes and refactoring, in order to prepare for implementing "fast append" feature. These changes remove the majority of the code duplication for raw data I/O which has crept in over the last ten years and introduces a more object- oriented design for operating on different types of dataset storage. Chunked storage no longer has it's own I/O routines, it is now handled as either contiguous (if chunk is not pulled into the cache) or compact (if the chunk is cached in memory).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Feature Description: Datatypes and groups now use H5FO "file object" code that was previously only used by datasets. These objects will hold a file open if the file is closed but they have not yet been closed. If these objects are unlinked then relinked, they will not be destroyed. If they are opened twice (even by two different names), both IDs will "see" changes made to the object using the other ID. When an object is opened using two different names (e.g., if a dataset was opened under one name, then mounted and opened under its new name), calling H5Iget_name() on a given hid_t will return the name used to open that hid_t, not the current name of the object (this is a feature, and a change from the previous behavior of datasets). Solution: Used H5FO code that was already in place for datasets. Broke H5D_t's, H5T_t's, and H5G_t's into a "shared" struct and a private struct. The shared structs (H5D_shared_t, etc.) hold the object's information and are used by all IDs that point to a given object in the file. The private structs are pointed to by the hid_t and contain the object's group entry information (including its name) and a pointer to the shared struct for that object. This changed the naming of structs throughout the library (e.g., datatype->size is now datatype->shared->size). I added an updated H5Tinit.c to windows.zip.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization & bug fix Description: When dimension information is being stored in the storage layout message on disk, it is stored as 32-bit quantities, possibly truncating the dimension information, if a dimension is greater than 32-bits in size. Solution: Fix the storage layout message problem by revising file format to not store dimension information, since it is already available in the dataspace. Also revise the storage layout data structures to be more compartmentalized for the information for contiguous, chunked and compact storage.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix/Code cleanup/New Feature Description: Correct problems with writing fill-values to external storage and allocate the data storage at the correct times. Also, mostly straighten out the strange code which allocates and fills raw data storage for datasets. Things are still a bit odd in that the fill-values for chunked datasets are written when the space is allocated, instead of in a separate routine, but there are two reasons for this: it's inefficient (especially in parallel) to iterate through all the chunks twice, and (more importantly) the space needed to store compressed chunks isn't known until we've got a buffer of compressed fill-values ready to write to the chunk. Additionally, add in the H5D_SPACE_ALLOC_INCR and H5D_SPACE_ALLOC_DEFAULT setting for the "space time", which incorporate the previous behavior of the space allocation for chunked datasets. The default settings for the different types of dataset storage are now as follows: Contiguous - Late Chunked - Incremental Compact - Early This checkin also incorporates a change to the behavior of external data storage in two ways - fill-values are _never_ written to external storage (under the assumption that writing fill-values is triggered by allocating space in an HDF5 file, and since space is not allocated in the file, the fill-values should not be written) and external data files are now created if they don't exist when data is written to them. The fill-value will probably need to be revisited at some time in the future, this just seemed like the safer course currently. I think I cleaned up some compiler errors also, before getting bogged down in the fixes for the space allocation and fill-values. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) w/serial & parallel. Will be testing on IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) in serial & parallel shortly.
