* [svn-r429] Changes since 19980616Robb Matzke1998-06-171-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ./html/tracing.html NEW This entire update is to make it possible for the library to print the name, arguments, and return value of every API call without requiring any extra work from developers or app programmers. This file describes how this all works. ./configure.in Added the `--enable-tracing' switch. If you use it then the library will include code to print API function names, argument names and values, and function return values. However, you must then turn on the tracing by setting the HDF5_TRACE environment variable to a file descriptor number. The default is `--disable-tracing' since enabling it causes a slight increase in library size and a slowdown resulting from an extra function call for each API function call (I couldn't even measure the slowdown :-) ./bin/trace NEW A perl script that synchronizes the H5TRACE() macro calls in the *.c files with the function return type and formal argument names and types. If you use GNU make and gcc then this will be done automatically, otherwise just invoke this script with the names of one or more .c files. You could do it by hand to, but encoding argument types is a little tricky at first. ./config/commence.in Added the $(TRACE) macro, which defaults to the no-op. Added -D_POSIX_SOURCE to the compiler command line. ./src/Makefile.in Override the default for $(TRACE). ./config/depend.in Automatically calls $(TRACE) to synchronize the H5TRACE() macros in any source file that changed. As with makefile dependencies, one way to force synchronization of all files is to remove the `.depend' file. ./MANIFEST Added new files. ./src/H5Eprivate.h Modified HRETURN_ERROR() and HRETURN() for tracing. ./src/H5.c ./src/H5private.h This is where the real tracing work really happens, in H5_trace(). ./src/H5A.c ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5G.c ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5S.c ./src/H5Z.c Added H5TRACE() calls to all API functions. You don't really need these changes if you don't want to merge your stuff because they can be generated automatically by going to the hdf5/src directory and saying ../bin/trace *.c ./src/H5T.c Added H5TRACE() calls. Other stuff below. ./src/H5E.c ./src/H5Epublic.h Added H5TRACE() calls. Created a type H5E_auto_t for the `func' argument of H5Eset_auto() and H5Eget_auto() to make those arguments easier to parse for tracing. It should also make it clearer for users that don't know how to read complicated ANSI data types. ./src/H5F.c Added H5TRACE() calls. Changed a couple `uintn' argument types in API functions to `unsigned int' since `uintn' part of the API. Changed a few "can't" and "cant" error messages to "unable to". ./src/H5Ipublic.h Removed H5_DIRECTORY from the H5I_group_t enum. It wasn't used anywhere. ./src/H5Tconv.c Removed an unused label. ./src/H5Fistore.c ./src/H5Oattr.c ./src/H5Odtype.c ./src/H5T.c ./test/dsets.c ./test/dtypes.c Fixed a warning about a variable possibly used before it's initialized. Added __unused__ to turn off some unused argument warnings that pop up when debugging is turned off and optimizations are turned on.

Fixed bugs where the API functions didn't check the return values of their internal counterparts and thus the automatic error reporting didn't work. Fixed some places where the error stack wasn't cleared after a function returned failure. Data types returned by H5Aget_type() are always read-only. If the `attr_num' argument of H5Aiterate() is null then it acts like H5Giterate() instead of failing -- it begins processing attributes with the first one. ./src/H5D.c We check for allocation overruns when scalar datasets are stored in external files. ./src/H5O.c H5O_modify() will fail if the message is >=16kB. ./src/H5Oattr.c Split some long lines ./src/H5T.c ./src/H5Tprivate.h Added H5T_entof() to support attributes on named types. ./src/h5ls.c Prints the names of attributes and their sizes. ./test/cmpd_dset.c ./test/dsets.c ./test/dtypes.c ./test/extend.c ./test/external.c ./test/gheap.c ./test/istore.c ./test/links.c ./test/shtype.c If the environment variable HDF5_NOCLEANUP is defined then the temporary files are not removed. The testhdf5 program still has the bug that it removes *.h5, clobbering test files from other programs... oh well. ./test/dtypes.c Added attribute tests.

Fixed some data type memory leaks during error recovery. ./src/H5Dprivate.h Added H5D_typeof() similar to H5D_entof() that returns a pointer directly to the dataset's type. 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. Removed unnecessary invalidation of shared data types. ./src/H5Gent.c ./src/H5Gpkg.h ./src/H5Gprivate.h Added `const' to some arguments. ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5Oprivate.h ./src/H5Oshared.c An object header message can now be a pointer to a message in some other object header. The pointer is to the first message of the appropriate type in the other object header and hard link counts are maintained automatically to prevent dangling pointers. The old global heap method of message sharing is also supported although nothing actually uses it. ./src/H5Oattr.c ./src/H5Ocomp.c ./src/H5Ocont.c ./src/H5Odtype.c ./src/H5Oefl.c ./src/H5Olayout.c ./src/H5Oname.c ./src/H5Osdspace.c ./src/H5Oshare.c ./src/H5Ostab.c Changed the data type for the shared message info struct to H5O_shared_t and added an extra initializer to the class methods struct for the set_share method. ./src/H5Odtype.c Added the ability to share data type messages by pointing to other object headers. ./src/H5T.c ./src/H5Tpkg.h ./src/H5Tprivate.h ./src/H5Tpublic.h Added named data types and changed the functionality of some API functions as follows: * The term `read-only' means that a type handle cannot be modified with functions like H5Tset_*() or H5Tinsert(). * The term `immutable' means the same as `read-only' with the added restriction that H5Tclose() cannot be called for the type. 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.
