* [svn-r12650] Description:Elena Pourmal2006-09-051-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | Purify found some memory leaks in the code related to the HDF5 external links. James provided the fix and asked me to check it in. Tested: heping, mir, shanti, and juniper
* [svn-r12528] Added User-Defined links to the library.James Laird2006-08-021-18/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* [svn-r12221] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2006-04-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Hide" file format changes (for now) Description: Add ifdef's (controlled by the --enable-group-revision configure flag) to disable group revision changes to the file format, in order to allow alpha release to go ahead without releasing an unsupported version into the wild. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Linux 2.4 32-bit (heping) Linux 2.4 64-bit (mir) Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
* [svn-r11838] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-12-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* [svn-r11771] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-12-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Fix a bunch of warnings flagged by Windows compilers. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r11712] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-11-151-0/+725
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.... :-)
