This reverts commit 5ac92014da2682bdba62d7a2524b8d90e38f6b19. * Committing clang-format changes * Convert attribute 'get' operation to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. * Update tracing macros * Convert attribute 'specific' operation to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. * Convert dataset 'get' and 'specific' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. Also, minor tweaks to attribute 'get' and 'specific' operation parameters. * Convert datatype 'get' and 'specific' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. Also, minor tweaks to H5O_refresh_metadata arguments. * Reduce warnings * Reduce warnings * Track change to datatype 'get' callback * Fix bug with file pointer getting invalidated when object closed * Reformat source * Convert file and group VOL classes 'get' and 'specific' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. Also small cleanup to the attribute get name operation. Also moved 'mount' and 'unmount' operations to be group specific operations, instead of file specific, to better align with their behavior (mounted files are on groups, so a group is what is operated on). * Remove remainder of merge conflict marking * Convert link VOL class 'create' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. * Remove some unused local variables * Convert link VOL class 'get' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. Also refactor 'get name by idx' routines to return actual length of name with a parameter instead of the return value, and move some callback context structs for the link interface from the private header file into the source code module, to reduce their visibility scope. * Update tracing macros * Convert link VOL class 'specific' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. * Convert object VOL class 'get' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. * Convert object VOL class 'specific' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. Also refactor H5G_loc_exists, et al, to return 'exists' flag in a parameter and errors with the function return value, instead of overloading both into the return value. And, corrected logic error in test/links.c around non-existant objects in a file. * Convert request VOL class 'specific' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. * Convert blob VOL class 'specific' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. Also removes the H5VL_BLOB_GETSIZE operation, as it's unused in the library and the blob ID size for a container is now returned with H5VL_FILE_GET_CONT_INFO. * Add 'const' to several parameters that are only queried. * Convert all VOL classes' 'optional' operations to use struct-of-tagged-union pattern for VOL callback arguments, instead of using varargs. Convert several 'get' routines to return the length of an array in a parameter instead of combining it into the return value. Move several routines to be in less public namespace. Correct direct_chunk test to verify that parameters aren't modified on error. * Switch get/specific/optional VOL callback argument structures to be 'async-friendly'. Also other minor cleanups and bug-fixes. * Add H5Pset_dataset_io_hyperslab_selection / H5S_PLIST feature, to allow skipping H5Dget_space + H5Sselect_hyperslab for async operation * Add dynamic optional operations for request objects * Update dynamic operation test for optional request operations * Update a comment for an operation argument * Run trace and format_source scripts * Committing clang-format changes * Committing clang-format changes Co-authored-by: vchoi <vchoi@jelly.ad.hdfgroup.org> Co-authored-by: vchoi-hdfgroup <55293060+vchoi-hdfgroup@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: jhendersonHDF <jhenderson@hdfgroup.org> Co-authored-by: Dana Robinson <derobins@hdfgroup.org> Co-authored-by: Dana Robinson <43805+derobins@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: bmribler <39579120+bmribler@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: github-actions <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
* Fixed many -Wreserved-id-macro warnings by fixing header guard spelling (#361)Sean McBride2021-02-231-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Fixed many -Wreserved-id-macro warnings by fixing header guard spelling Removed leading underscore(s) from header guard spelling. Used 2 regexes: ` _H5(.*)_H` ` __H5(.*)_H` Applied case-insensitively to only .h files. * Modified scripts that generate header files to not use underscore prefix Interestingly, there was already no leading underscore in the trailing comment at the end of the file * Fixed remaining -Wreserved-id-macro warning not caught by regex

* Delay checking if decoded message's "shareable" flag is appropriate forNeil Fortner2019-01-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | the message type until we've verified we understand the message type. Reduce size of H5O_msg_class_g to *not* include space for H5O_BOGUS_INVALID. Make bogus messages shareable. Add new bogus message test with shareable messages to cover the formerly problematic code. Re-run gen_bogus.c to add this test case and also to fix the bogus_invalid messages that were no longer H5O_BOGUS_INVLAID due to a new message class being added in a previous commit. Added comment to remind developers to run gen_bogus.c when adding a new message class.

| | | | | | | | | | Revisions to normalize revise chunks vs. trunk, plus push dataset metadata changes into the cache immediately (instead of holding them within the dataset data structures). Tested on: MacOSX/64 10.11.2 (amazon) w/serial & parallel (h5committest not required on this branch)
* [svn-r27768] Description:Quincey Koziol2015-09-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Complete revamp of package initialization/shutdown mechanism in the library. Each package now has a single init/term routine. This new way should avoid packages being re-initialized during library shutdown and is also be _much_ more proactive about giving feedback for resource leaks internal to the library. Introduces a new "module" header file for packages in the library (e.g src/H5Fmodule.h) which sets up some necessary package configuration macros for the FUNC_ENTER/LEAVE macros. (The VFL drivers have their own slightly modified version of this header, src/H5FDdrvr_module.h) Also cleaned up a bunch of resources leaks all across the library and tests, along with addressing many warnings, as I encountered them. Tested on: MacOSX/64 10.10.5 (amazon) w/serial & parallel Linux/64 3.10.x (kituo) w/serial & parallel Linux/64 2.6.x (ostrich) w/serial

* [svn-r21629] Purpose: Update fix committed in r21556Neil Fortner2011-10-201-1/+3

* [svn-r21603] Purpose: Add generic skip list implementationNeil Fortner2011-10-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Description: Added new H5SL_TYPE_GENERIC skip list type, which uses void *'s as keys and a client-supplied callback for key comparison. This was added to support the upcoming "merge named datatype" feature for H5Ocopy, but may be used in other places as well. Also added testing. Also fixed a potential bug with the H5SL_TYPE_OBJ implementation, and added testing for that. Tested: jam, koala, heiwa (h5committest), durandal
