| | | | | | | | | Bring warning cleanusp in r29990, 29993, 29997, 29999, 30004 from revise_chunks branch to trunk. Tested on: MacOSX/64 10.11.5 (amazon) w/serial, parallel & production. (h5committest forthcoming)
* [svn-r27768] Description:Quincey Koziol2015-09-141-72/+83
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | | | a callback closed a different ID in the same type. Added a new skiplist routine, H5SL_try_free_safe, which iterates over items, freeing some of them, and which intercepts and defers attempts to remove from the list outside of the main iteration. Changed H5I_clear_type to use this function. Tested: jam, koala, ostrich (h5committest); ummon

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

Bring changes from Coverity branch to trunk: r20085: Purpose: Fix coverity issue 793 Description: Modified H5S_hyper_project_simple_higher() to free the entire span list in new_space on failure. r20091: This is a fix for coverity bug #1683. Changed the two printfs to use %lu (unsigned long) for printing "dset_size". r20162: Purpose: Fix coverity issue 785 Description: Modified H5T_enum_nameof() to free "name" on failure if it was allocated. Also clarified some code in H5S_hyper_rebuild_helper(). r20189: Addressed coverity defect 783. H5SL_new_node() in H5SL.c was failing to free space allocated in its first alloc if the second alloc failed. Added a call to H5FL_FREE to address this issue. This is purely to keep coverity happy -- if this code is ever triggered, we have much larger problems. Note that this fix will trigger an unused return value complaint from coverity next week. r20190: Fixed Coverity issues 1561 1565 and 1678 (UNUSED_VALUES) by moving checks of return values to after the function call. r20191: Fixed coverity issues 643 644 and 1678 (CHECKED_RETURN). r20232: Addressed coverity issues 923-925. Replaced calls to sprintf with calls to HDsnprintf. r20233: Fix coverity issue 662. Don't try to sort 0 attributes in H5Aint.c. r20234: Fix coverity issue 664. Check for NULL before dereferencing in H5Gdeprec.c. r20271: Purpose: Fix coverity issue 784 Description: Modified H5_debug_mask() to keep a list of files opened for use as a debugging output stream, and modified H5_term_library to close these files on exit. r20272: addressed coverity issues 838 & 955. Issue was use of strcpy() -- existing code was safe, but modified to use strncpy() to keep coverity happy. r20273: Addresed coverity issues 1388 and 1389. Initialized sel_iter->type to NULL in H5S_select_iter_init. r20275: Purpose: Fix valgrind issue in mf.c Description: Fixed bug (incomplete if statement) in test_mf_fs_alloc_free() so the retrieved node gets freed.

* [svn-r12019] Purpose:Leon Arber2006-03-071-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix/Feature Description: Modify the library to use rand_r, when available, instead of srand. If rand_r is not available, it will try to use srandom/random, and then finally fall back to srand/rand. Solution: A couple places in the library use the srand() function to seed the random number generator. This can cause problems on certain platforms and could theoretically cause problems for users who expect a certain sequence of random numbers following their own call to srand(). Most platforms have an implementation of rand_r, which is identical to rand, except that it allows for explicit storage of the seed value. The configure script will now check for the existence of rand_r to facilitate its use in the library. Two new functions are added, to replace the macros HDsrand/HDrand. These functions are HDrand and HDsrand. HDrand will call rand_r, if available, or random(), if available, and fall back to rand() if neither of those is available. HDsrand will store the seed value locally, if rand_r is available. Otherwise, it will call srandom if available, and fall back to srand otherwise. Platforms tested: heping, mir. Really need to test on Red Storm, since that platform motivated this fix, but the machine is currently not available. Misc. update:
* [svn-r11991] Purpose:Albert Cheng2006-03-011-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Porting. Description: Red Storm's lustre used srand and rand to initialize their user mode of lustre. HDF5 also uses srand and that messes up Lustre. Solution: Use -DRED_STORM to block out the HDF5 code that calls srand. This is a temporary fix since Lustre has fixed its code from calling srand and rand but the fix is not deployed at Red_storm yet. Platforms tested: Tested at Red-Storm.

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.... :-)

However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch, but not the other.

* [svn-r9580] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-11-271-0/+715
Add new internal data structure Description: Add an implementation of skip lists to the library (see comment in src/H5SL.c for references to the papers describing them) as a potential replacement for our current threaded, balanced binary tree container. Skip lists are much simpler to implement and should be faster to use. Also, added new error codes to release branch, so bump the minor version number to indicate that the library is no longer perfectly compatible with the 1.6.3 release. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Solaris 2.7 (arabica) Too minor to require further testing (the skip lists aren't actually used by any library code yet)
