* [svn-r11886] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2006-01-231-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Check in some of the code cleanups from working on the external link support. (This doesn't include any of the external link features) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Mac OSX.4 (amazon) Linux 2.4
* [svn-r11838] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-12-261-347/+445
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r11712] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-11-151-0/+880
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.... :-)
