* [svn-r13745] Description:Quincey Koziol2007-05-101-17/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Take further advantage of the readers/writer locking in the metadata cache and push the locking of the local heap up to the routines which call B-tree routines, which should drastically lower the number of metadata cache protect/ unprotect calls. Tested on: Mac OS X/32 10.4.9 (amazon) Linux/32 2.6 (chicago) Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | File format is not stable, don't keep files produced! Description: First stage of checkins modifying the format of groups to support creation order. Implement "dense" storage for links in groups. Try to clarify some of the symbols for the H5L API. Add the H5Pset_latest_format() flag for FAPLs, to choose to use the newest file format options (including "dense" link storage in groups) Add the H5Pset_track_creation_order() flag for GCPLs, to enable creation order tracking in groups (although no index on creation order yet). Remove --enable-group-revision configure flag, as file format issues are now handled in a backwardly/forwardly compatible way. Clean up lots of compiler warnings and other minor formatting issues. Tested on: FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++ Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-v1.6 compa Mac OSX/32 10.4.8 (amazon) AIX 5.3 (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
* [svn-r12528] Added User-Defined links to the library.James Laird2006-08-021-3/+91
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Users can create external links using H5L_create_external(). These links point to an object in another HDF5 file. Users can alter the behavior of external links or create new kinds of links by registering callbacks using the H5L interface. Added tests, tools support, etc. Also a number of other, minor changes have been made (some restructuring of the H5L interface, for instance). Additional documentation and examples are forthcoming.
* [svn-r12452] Purpose:James Laird2006-07-051-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feature Description: Revised Link APIs. Solution: New link APIs use H5L* H5*create_expand do not create links to the objects created; this must be done manually with H5Llink. Added APIs to link an object given its ID (H5Llink), to copy links (H5Lcopy), and changed creation APIs (H5Lcreate_hard and H5Lcreate_soft) and query API (H5Lget_linkinfo instead of H5Gget_objinfo). All old APIs are still supported in H5Gdeprec.c . Platforms tested: sol, mir, copper Misc. update: Forgot to update MANIFEST and release docs. Will do after checkin.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.... :-)
* [svn-r11386] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-09-121-23/+139
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup/reorganization Description: Merge back some more changes extracted from the "compact group" set. This bunch cleans up and prepares the H5G_* routines for eventual import of new features. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Linux 2.4 Mac OS X.4

* [svn-r10978] Purpose:John Mainzer2005-06-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag into the cache code. Description: Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled above the level of the metadata cache. This can no longer be allowed, as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache coherency bug in PHDF5. Solution: Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper. Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call. Platforms tested: h5committested Misc. update:

* [svn-r8874] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-141-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Correct problems with "resurrecting" a dataset in a file. (This occurs when a dataset which is open gets unlinked from the group hierarchy (making it "dead" and marked for deletion in the file) and then is re-linked to the group hierarchy). Note that the current solution applies only to datasets, further work will fix this for groups and named datatypes also. Also, fix the "debug" routines to be a little more helpful in certain situations. Additionally, fix a locking bug in the symbol table node splitting routine which could be [one of] the cause[s] of the file corruption in flexible parallel operation.

* [svn-r8731] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-231-20/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup & minor optimization Description: Re-work the way interface initialization routines are specified in the library to avoid the overhead of checking for them in routines where there is no interface initialization routine. This cleans up warnings with gcc 3.4, reduces the library binary size a bit (about 2-3%) and should speedup the library's execution slightly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update Description: A lot of modifications for the FPHDF5 stuff: H5AC.c H5ACprivate.h - Removed AC_find (it's replaced with AC_protect and AC_unprotect). Added flushing if it's an FPHDF5 driver and we're doing an AC_set or AC_unprotect with the dirty flag set. H5B.c - Split up the B_flush function into different functions since the one function was doing serialization which is better left as a separate entity. H5D.c - Removed some FPHDF5 code that was incorrect H5F.c - Split up the F_flush function so that it no longer allocates file space. Created new functions (F_init_superblock, F_read_superblock, and F_write_superblock) for greater modularity and so that the FPHDF5 non-captain processes can read the superblock after the captain process writes it. H5FD.c - Error message correction. H5FDfphdf5.c - Removed MPI barrier call that wasn't needed. H5FPclient.c H5FPserver.c - Modified so that if a process requests data that isn't exactly aligned, we can return it if we have the block that contains the requested address. H5G.c H5Gent.c H5Gnode.c H5HL.c H5HLpkg.h H5HLprivate.h H5Oefl.c - Removed the H5HL_peek function since it was doing a (now unsafe) holding of the information in the cache. Replaced with protect and unprotect calls. H5TB.c - Error fix. The TB_dless function wasn't working properly. H5Gstab.c - Format change. H5err.txt H5Edefin.h H5Einit.h H5Epubgen.h H5Eterm.h - Added new error code. Platforms tested: Modi4 (paralle, Fortran) Sol (Fortran) Linux (C++, Fortran) Copper (Parallel, Fortran) Misc. update:

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

Description: Performance Improvements: - Cached file offset & length sizes in shared file struct, to avoid constantly looking them up in the FCPL. - Generic property improvements: - Added "revision" number to generic property classes to speed up comparisons. - Changed method of storing properties from using a hash-table to the TBBT routines in the library. - Share the propery names between classes and the lists derived from them. - Removed redundant 'def_value' buffer from each property. - Switching code to use a "copy on write" strategy for properties in each list, where the properties in each list are shared with the properties in the class, until a property's value is changed in a list. - Fixed error in layout code which was allocating too many buffers. - Redefined public macros of the form (H5open()/H5check, <variable>) internally to only be (<variable>), avoiding innumerable useless calls to H5open() and H5check_version(). - Reuse already zeroed buffers in H5F_contig_fill instead of constantly re-zeroing them. - Don't write fill values if writing entire dataset. - Use gettimeofday() system call instead of time() system when checking the modification time of a dataset. - Added reference counted string API and use it for tracking the names of objects opening in a file (for the ID->name code). - Removed redundant H5P_get() calls in B-tree routines. - Redefine H5T datatype macros internally to the library, to avoid calling H5check redundantly. - Keep dataspace information for dataset locally instead of reading from disk each time. Added new module to track open objects in a file, to allow this (which will be useful eventually for some FPH5 metadata caching issues). - Remove H5AC_find macro which was inlining metadata cache lookups, and call function instead. - Remove redundant memset() calls from H5G_namei() routine. - Remove redundant checking of object type when locating objects in metadata cache and rely on the address only. - Create default dataset object to use when default dataset creation property list is used to create datasets, bypassing querying for all the property list values. - Use default I/O vector size when performing raw data with the default dataset transfer property list, instead of querying for I/O vector size. - Remove H5P_DEFAULT internally to the library, replacing it with more specific default property list based on the type of property list needed. - Remove redundant memset() calls in object header message (H5O*) routines. - Remove redunant memset() calls in data I/O routines. - Split free-list allocation routines into malloc() and calloc()- like routines, instead of one combined routine. - Remove lots of indirection in H5O*() routines. - Simplify metadata cache entry comparison routine (used when flushing entire cache out). - Only enable metadata cache statistics when H5AC_DEBUG is turned on, instead of always tracking them. - Simplify address comparison macro (H5F_addr_eq). - Remove redundant metadata cache entry protections during dataset creation by protecting the object header once and making all the modifications necessary for the dataset creation before unprotecting it. - Reduce # of "number of element in extent" computations performed by computing and storing the value during dataspace creation. - Simplify checking for group location's file information, when file has not been involving in file-mounting operations. - Use binary encoding for modification time, instead of ASCII. - Hoist H5HL_peek calls (to get information in a local heap) out of loops in many group routine. - Use static variable for iterators of selections, instead of dynamically allocation them each time. - Lookup & insert new entries in one step, avoiding traversing group's B-tree twice. - Fixed memory leak in H5Gget_objname_idx() routine (tangential to performance improvements, but fixed along the way). - Use free-list for reference counted strings. - Don't bother copying object names into cached group entries, since they are re-created when an object is opened. The benchmark I used to measure these results created several thousand small (2K) datasets in a file and wrote out the data for them. This is Elena's "regular.c" benchmark. These changes resulted in approximately ~4.3x speedup of the development branch when compared to the previous code in the development branch and ~1.4x speedup compared to the release branch. Additionally, these changes reduce the total memory used (code and data) by the development branch by ~800KB, bringing the development branch back into the same ballpark as the release branch. I'll send out a more detailed description of the benchmark results as a followup note. New internal API routines: Added "reference counted strings" API for tracking strings that get used by multiple owners without duplicating the strings. Added "ternary search tree" API for text->object mappings.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Change most (all?) HRETURN_ERROR macros to HGOTO_ERROR macros, along with HRETURN macros to HGOTO_DONE macros. This unifies the error return path from functions and reduces the size of the library by up to 10% on some platforms. Additionally, I improved a lot of the error cleanup code in many routines. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) serial & parallel.
* [svn-r5471] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-05-291-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Broke the FUNC_ENTER macro into several macros, with more specialized uses (which followup mail will describe). This was designed to move most/all of the checks which could be done at compile time to that point, instead of needlessly performing them (over & over :-) at run-time. This reduces the library's size (and thus staticly linked binaries) and has a minor speedup effect also. Platforms tested: IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) with parallel & FORTRAN enabled, and additional testing on FreeBSD and Solaris immediately after the checkin.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup (sorta) Description: When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to 16-bit architectures. Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source module (like Kent's h4toh5 library). Solution: Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)

I've ported and tested the sec2, family, and core drivers and only ported the mpio driver (Albert will test it). So if you need MPIO I would recommend sticking with the previous version for a while. You will get a few compile warnings about split and stdio drivers not being implemented and possibly tracing information not inserted in some of the drivers. You can safely ignore them but I plan to fix them. I'm still working on the split driver because I just realized that it needs a part of the VFL that isn't written yet. Documentation is being updated also because there were some minor changes (mostly just name changes).

The default file driver is always the sec2 driver and it always optimizes calls to lseek() or lseek64(). ./config/depend.in C preprocessor errors generated during automatic dependency building are sent to /dev/null to prevent them from appearing twice in the make output. ./src/H5AC.c ./src/H5B.c ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5G.c ./src/H5Gent.c ./src/H5Gnode.c ./src/H5HG.c ./src/H5HL.c ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5Oattr.c ./src/H5Odtype.c ./src/H5Oefl.c ./src/H5Oshared.c ./src/H5T.c ./src/H5detect.c ./test/ohdr.c Changed H5F_ADDR_UNDEF to HADDR_UNDEF to be more consistent with the `haddr_t' datatype which is now a public type. ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Ppublic.h ./src/H5Tconv.c ./test/cmpd_dset.c ./test/dsets.c ./test/overhead.c ./test/tselect.c ./test/tvltypes.c The H5P_DATASET_XFER constant was changed to H5P_DATA_XFER because the properties apply to all types of I/O operations, not just datasets. ./src/H5B.c ./src/H5Bprivate.h ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5Dpublic.h ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Farray.c ./src/H5Fistore.c ./src/H5Fprivate.h ./src/H5Fpublic.h ./src/H5Gnode.c ./src/H5Gpkg.h ./src/H5HG.c ./src/H5HL.c ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5R.c ./src/H5Sall.c ./src/H5Shyper.c ./src/H5Smpio.c ./src/H5Spoint.c ./src/H5Sprivate.h ./test/big.c ./test/h5test.c ./test/istore.c ./testpar/t_dset.c ./testpar/t_file.c ./tools/h5debug.c ./tools/h5ls.c Modified to work with the virtual file layer by calling H5FD_* functions instead of H5F_low_* functions and by passing file access and data transfer properties by object ID instead of pointer. Changed H5D_transfer_t to H5FD_mpio_xfer_t since the COLLECTIVE vs. INDEPENDENT transfer mode is specific to the MPIO file driver. Moved MPIO-specific stuff into the MPIO driver. ./src/H5B.c ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5Fprivate.h The H5F_mpio_* private functions were renamed and placed in the H5FDmpio driver except those which appeared in H5Smpio.c. ./src/H5E.c ./src/H5Epublic.h Added major error number H5E_VFL for virtual file layer related errors. ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Fprivate.h Changed the logic that controls whether the boot block is written. Instead of assuming that the first call to write the boot block is only to allocate space, I've added a function argument which makes this explicit. Changed the way files are compared so that a driver-defined comparison function can be called. Files which belong to different drivers are always considered different. Removed H5F_driver_t since file drivers are now identified by object ID instead of a special non-user-extendible datatype. Removed all the hard-coded low-level file properties which have been replaced by the various file drivers. ./src/H5I.c ./src/H5Iprivate.h Added the H5I_inc_ref() which was removed a few months ago since we finally have a use for it. ./src/H5Ipublic.h Added the H5I_VFL object ID type to identify file drivers in the virtual file layer. ./src/H5MF.c ./src/H5MFprivate.h Moved all the allocation/deallocation code into the virtual file layer which allows file drivers to override much of it. ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Ppublic.h Moved file driver-specific code into the various file driver files. The H5Pcopy() and H5Pclose() functions make calls into the virtual file driver to manage the memory for driver-specific file access and data transfer properties. ./src/H5private.h ./src/H5public.h The `haddr_t' type is now public. ./test/tfile.c Added a few more comments.

Thanks to Quincey, the comment no longer applied. ./src/H5T.c Relaxed the H5Tpack() a little so it would pack compound data structures that had non-transient atomic members. ./tools/h5ls.c Added a `-g' (or `--group') flag that causes information to be printed about the specified group instead of the group's contents. (sort of like Unix's `ls -d'). The `-g' can be used in combination with `-r' to print information about the group and its contents.

It's a one line change. Changed the way the library is closed so we have more control over the order the interfaces are shut down. Instead of registering an atexit() function for every interface in some haphazard order we just register one: H5_term_library() which then calls the H5*_term_interface() functions in a well-defined order. If the library is closed and then reopened repeatedly by calling H5close() and H5open() in a loop we only add one copy of the library termination functions with atexit(). Termination is a two-step process in order to help detect programming errors that would cause an infinite loop caused by the termination of one interface waking up some other previously terminated interface. The first step terminates the interface and *marks it as unusable*. After all interfaces are terminated then we mark them all as usable again. The FUNC_ENTER() macro has been modified to return failure or to dump core (depending on whether NDEBUG is defined) if we try to call an interface while it's shutting down. ./src/H5.c The H5dont_atexit() function returns failure if it's called more than once or if it's called too late. However, the error stack is not automatically printed on failure because the library might not be initialized yet ./test/chunk.c ./test/flush1.c ./test/flush2.c ./test/iopipe.c ./test/overhead.c ./test/ragged.c Changed the extra cast for Win32 so we do floating point division again -- it was just confusion about precedence and associativity of casting and the C coercion rules. Removed extra carriage returns inserted by broken operating system. ./src/H5Ffamily.c Fixed an bug where H5F_fam_write() lowered the EOF marker for one of the family members causing H5F_fam_read() to read zeros. ./test/h5test.h [NEW] ./test/h5test.c [NEW] ./test/Makefile.in ./test/bittests.c ./test/cmpd_dset.c ./test/dsets.c ./test/dtypes.c ./test/extend.c ./test/external.c Support library for test files. This isn't done yet but Katie's contractions are ~10 minutes apart so I figured I better back this stuff up just in case I'm not here next week... Eventually all test files will understand HDF5_DRIVER to name the low level file driver and parameters so we can easily test various drivers. They will also understand HDF5_PREFIX to prepend to the beginning of file names which is necessary for testing ROMIO with various drivers. Also, the cleanup function will know how to use the file name prefix and will understand different file driver naming schemes like file families. I'm not sure they'll understand the `gsf:' type prefixes yet. Note, the external test is completely commented out because I'm in the middle of modifying it. It will still compile and run but it doesn't test anything at the moment.

The `long long' names will be changed shortly to make them portable to Win32. Changed H5T_init() to H5T_native_open() and added an H5T_native_close() to open and close the predefined native data types. Increased the initial size of the type conversion table from 64 to 128 entries. Reordered the 90 new integer conversion functions so the names that are printed favor `int' over `short' or `long' when two of them are the same. ./test/dtypes.c Added hardware and software integer conversion tests for the 56 functions I added recently but not the additional 36 checked in this time. That will come next. Call H5close() after each test so type conversion statistics are easier to follow. Try this: $ HDF5_DEBUG=t ./dtypes Added more debugging output for when things go wrong. ./src/H5private.h Removed trailing carriage-returns inserted by broken operating system ;-)

The `x' was removed from the name to remind us of that: H5MM_xmalloc() -> H5MM_malloc(), etc. H5MM_calloc() takes one argument like H5MM_malloc() instead of two like calloc() because we almost always called it with `1' for one of the arguments anyway. The only difference between the two functions is that H5MM_calloc() returns memory which is initialized to zero. ./src/H5Gent.c ./src/H5Gprivate.h Removed H5G_ent_calloc() since it wasn't used. ./src/H5Fistore.c Fixed a bug found by Albert. Thanks, Albert! This fix combined with the changes to memory allocation prevent the library from failing an assertion if the application uses an unreasonable size for chunks (like Alberts 10000x10000x4). ./src/H5MF.c ./src/H5MFprivate.h Changed H5MF_free() to H5MF_xfree() since calling it with an undefined address is allowed.

This is used by H5Tcopy() when invoked on a dataset (see below). ./src/H5Epublic.h Fixed typos in H5E_BEGIN_TRY and H5E_END_TRY macros. ./src/H5F.c Closing a file with objects still open reports the file name in the warning message.

A transient type is made immutable by calling H5Tlock(). * Handles to named types are always read-only. * Handles to predefined types are immutable. * A transient type can be converted to a named type by calling H5Tcommit(). This function will fail if the type is already named or is immutable. * The API function H5Tcommitted() returns an indication of whether a data type has been commited (or is named). If H5Tcommitted() returns TRUE for a data type obtained by calling H5Dget_type() on a dataset, then the dataset is using a shared data type. * H5Topen() returns a handle to a named type. * H5Tcopy() always returns a handle to a modifiable transient type even when invoked on a named type. Also, when invoked on a dataset it returns a modifiable transient type which is a copy of the dataset's data type. * Using a named data type in the call to H5Dcreate() causes the dataset object header to point to the named data type, but using a transient type causes the type to be copied into the dataset's object header. * The data type returned from H5Dget_type() is a named data type or a read-only transient data type depending on whether the dataset points to a named data type. The old behavior, to return a modifiable transient type, is accomplished by overloading H5Tcopy() to operate on datasets (see above). * H5Tshare(), H5Tunshare(), and H5Tis_shared() have been removed from the API. The following features were *not* implemented because they need more discussion: * A named data type can be opened by applying H5Topen() to a dataset in which case the data type is the data type of the dataset (or the data type to which the dataset points if the dataset has a shared data type). * A named data type can have attributes like groups or datasets. * The members of a compound data type can point to named data types. ./src/h5ls.c Reports `Data type' for named data type objects in the file.

The ./test/links program will create a `links.h5' file that demonstrates hard links, soft links, dangling links, and recursive links. A symbolic link is a symbol table entity and doesn't have an object header. It's format is described in H5.format.hml. ./src/H5G.c ./src/H5Gpublic.h ./src/h5ls.c Implemented H5Gstat() and H5Gget_linkval() as documented by Quincey. The `H5G_type_t type' field of `H5G_stat_t' was changed to `int type' because H5G_type_t was already used and the `type' data type should be open-ended. ./src/H5Ffamily.c Removed an incorrect diagnostic message. ./test/big.c Added read/write calls to test partial I/O to big contiguous datasets. With no arguments it writes to a dataset and prints the list of points written which should be redirected to a file. With an argument (the name of a file containing the stdout of a run with no arguments) values are read from the dataset. One would typically say `big >x && big x'.
