* [svn-r8877] James Laird2004-07-141-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Bug Fix Description: If an HDF5 file grows larger than its address space, it dies and is unable to write any data. This is more likely to happen since users are able to change the number of bytes used to store addresses in the file. Solution: HDF5 now throws an error instead of dying. In addition, it "reserves" address space for the local heap and for object headers (which do not allocate space immediately). This ensures that after the error occurs, there is enough address space left to flush the entire file to disk, so no data is lost. A more complete explanation is at /doc/html/TechNotes/ReservedFileSpace.html Platforms tested: sleipnir, copper (parallel), verbena, arabica, Windows (Visual Studio 7) Solution: Platforms tested: Misc. update:
* [svn-r8782] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Clean up almost all warnings from Windows builds. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r8731] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-231-30/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup & minor optimization Description: Re-work the way interface initialization routines are specified in the library to avoid the overhead of checking for them in routines where there is no interface initialization routine. This cleans up warnings with gcc 3.4, reduces the library binary size a bit (about 2-3%) and should speedup the library's execution slightly. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/gcc34 h5committest
* [svn-r8705] Purpose: Bug fix and new test.Raymond Lu2004-06-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Description: This is an enhancement after a user reported data writing failure for array datatype of compound type with variable-length type in the v1.6 branch. Solution: Added new test and ran with Purify. Fixed memory errors and leaks in H5Tconv.c. Platforms tested: h5committest
* [svn-r8692] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-151-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Avoid making copy of default vlen allocation info when default DXPL is used. Just retarget pointer to point to default info directly. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r8683] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-141-196/+195
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Use 'size_t' instead of 'hsize_t' to track the number of elements in memory buffers, especially for type conversion. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r8670] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-131-16/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Avoid a memory copy by directly reading from the variable-length sequence buffer when there is no type conversion on the way to disk. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r8668] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-131-54/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Avoid running conversion routine when it's a noop. Also, pick a minimum size for the variable-sized sequence conversion buffer, instead of allocating lots of small buffers. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
* [svn-r8666] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-131-163/+146
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Restructure conversion loop of variable-length objects to avoid walking through memory backwards and allocating as many temporary buffers. (This uses the optimized method used in the atomic type conversions) Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r8656] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-111-5/+0

* [svn-r8487] Purpose: Internal function changeRaymond Lu2004-05-061-48/+54
| | | | | | | | | Description: H5T_reverse_order was declared as private function. Solution: Change it to static local function in H5Tconv.c since it's not used by any function in other file. Platforms tested: RH 8(fuss)
* [svn-r8427] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-04-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix (sorta) Description: Add hack to allow the MS Visual Studio 6 compiler to build the library. It cannot cast unsigned long long values to float or double values. So, add another configuration macro to disable this conversion in the library. Just the "hardware" conversion is disabled, so the library will still correctly convert unsigned long long to float and double values, it will just happen more slowly with the "software" conversion routine. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) with "Windows" setting faked inappropriate for h5committest
* [svn-r8425] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-04-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix (sorta) Description: The SGI machines have problems accurately (and consistently) converting unsigned long values to float and double values, so put in a bit of a hack in the datatype conversion test code to allow them to get "close enough". This hack is enabled at configure time by a flag which should only be set on machines with this problem. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest

* [svn-r8344] Purpose: Internal function changeRaymond Lu2004-04-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | Description: H5T_bit_shift wasn't general enough to handle arbitory start, length. Solution: Make it be so. Platforms tested: h5committest
* [svn-r8287] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-03-301-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix/code cleanup Description: Copy Robb's feature in SSlib that checks that the name of the function used in the FUNC_ENTER macro is actually the name of function. Fixed a bunch of typos & copy-n-pasto's for functions with incorrect names. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r8266] Purpose: Internal function changeRaymond Lu2004-03-191-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | Description: The algorithm of H5T_bit_neg wasn't general enough. Solution: Changed it to handle arbitory starting position and size in a bit sequence. Platforms tested: h5committest.

* [svn-r8157] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-02-061-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup/optimization Description: Hoist property list queries up out of inner loops to cache the values at a higher level and pass them into the lower-level routines. Platforms tested: IBM p690 (copper) w/parallel & fphdf5 h5committest

* [svn-r8136] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-01-311-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Optimization Description: Speed up various parts of the library by setting a global variable for the endianness of the machine at library startup and use that variable instead of repeatedly querying the endianness of the native int datatype. Platforms tested: IBM p690 (copper) too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r7988] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-12-291-1/+1

| | | | | | | Description: VL datatype fails in certain way(hard to describe) Platforms tested: h5committest
* [svn-r7917] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-12-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Clean up compiler warnings, especially the 'FUNC' variable not used which comes out in production mode. Solution: Had to add a new FUNC_ENTER_NOAPI_NOINIT_NOFUNC macro for those non-API functions which don't need the 'FUNC' variable defined. (This will be _so_ much easier when C99 is standard on all our supposed platforms, since it has a __FUNC__ macro... ) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor for h5committest (although there were lots of files changed, the change was minor in each one)
* [svn-r7875] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-11-241-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Omnibus floating-point bug fix changes Description: There are a number of problems in the floating-point conversion code that were exposed by Ray's recent int<->float checkin: - The 'my_isnan' code in test/dtypes.c was broken and would always return true. The meant that the actual values in the float<->float conversion tests were _never_ checked, hiding the other bugs included in this checkin. - A recent change I made to the type conversion code used "FLT_MIN" instead of "-FLT_MAX" for the most negative 'float' value for the double->float conversion, which meant that any the negative number that was converted from a double to a float would have been mapped to zero, essentially. - A change that Robb appeared to have made ~2.5 years ago to the "generic" float->float conversion routine appears to be incorrect and I've backed it out. - Floating-point conversions on SGI's which converted denormalized values would be mapped to zero instead of being propertly preserved in the new type. This was addressed by an SGI-specific system call to prevent the behavior. Solution: Described above, generally. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest Misc. update: release_docs/RELEASE update forthcoming...
* [svn-r7873] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-11-211-12/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Remove an unused typedef, fix a LONG->LLONG typo and use LLONG_MIN where appropriate. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r7868] Purpose: new featureRaymond Lu2003-11-211-0/+1303
| | | | | | | | | | Description: data type conversion between integers and float numbers. (Cover your ears. It's going to explode.:) Solution: covers all native type conversion. Mainly uses hardware conversion but handles overflow more gracefully. Platforms tested: h5committest
* [svn-r7842] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-11-131-72/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Variable length strings and sequences with NULL pointers were not handled by library, causing problems access the data. This also affected fill values for variable-length datatypes. Solution: Address the issues in the library by detecting NULL sequences/strings and avoid trying to convert them. Patched up dumper to display NULL sequences/strings. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest
* [svn-r7824] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-11-071-53/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Improved integer & floating-point datatype conversions by removing some corner cases. Got rid of algorithm which walked the buffer of elements to convert backwards, switching to algorithm which computes the non-overlapping space in the buffer and repeatedly converts it in the forward direction. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest Cray SV1 & T3E (T90 is not accessible)
* [svn-r7667] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-181-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | Optimize code Description: Eliminate some computations from inner loop, giving about a 5% speedup. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor to h5committest
* [svn-r7666] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-181-125/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Remove duplicated "core" conversion macros. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor for h5committest
* [svn-r7665] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-181-203/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | Refactored code Description: Switched float->double and double->int conversions to use new, more generic conversion looping macros. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too small to require h5committest
* [svn-r7664] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-181-75/+124
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | More refactoring Description: Re-wrote inner loop of integer conversion routines with "psuedo-template" macros, to hoist 'if-else's out of inner loop in an easy to understand way. This speeds up the integer type conversions by 15-20%. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r7662] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-181-194/+222
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor integer conversion macros Description: Turned integer conversion macros "inside" out, using an interlocking macro technique similar to templates in C++. The macro which actually performs the conversion is now invoked "genericly" from inside another macro, which will allow the inner conversion loop to be optimized in a much easier way. This "psuedo-template" technique could be useful for other semi-repetitious patterns in the library - possibly the datatype initialization code... Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest
* [svn-r7616] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-131-20/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Change field member count and indices for compound and enumerated types from 'int' to 'unsigned' to better reflect actual use. Cleaned up a few other minor compiler warnings, etc. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) Linux 2.4 (verbena) too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r7591] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-101-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Correct the size of the buffer needed for the destination value to use the actual destination type size. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r7580] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-091-10/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: The VL type conversion routine attempt to align it's destination buffer to an offer that will work for both hvl_t and char * types, but the algorithm used fails to work correctly on Cray machines. Solution: Give up on attempting to align the buffer when it's allocated on the stack. Just dynamically allocate it instead. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) Cray SV1 (wind)
* [svn-r7334] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-08-111-5/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Object references were not getting written out correctly to the file, with recent changes to their memory structure. Solution: Convert the object references correctly. Platforms tested: h5committested
* [svn-r7219] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-07-141-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: H5T_BKG_TEMP was accidentally removed from library code, but is used by application's datatype conversion routines. Solution: Revert removal of H5T_BKG_TEMP. Platforms tested: h5committest
* [svn-r7173] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-07-071-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Fix "unaligned access" warning on IA64 (and alpha, probably) machines. Solution: Make certain that temporary destination buffer is aligned on correct boundary for type conversion. Platforms tested: IA64 Linux cluster (titan) too small for h5committest
* [svn-r7116] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-06-271-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Update code Description: Move "PABLO_MASK" definition above header file inclusion to avoid problems with inline functions in header files. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committest
* [svn-r7096] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-06-241-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Aligned data is not being detected by type conversion routines correctly on some Crays, causing corrupted data during I/O. Solution: Add extra checking for strange pointer behavior on Crays. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committest Cray SV1 (wind) Cray T3E (hubble) Cray T90 (gypsy)
* [svn-r7021] Purpose: bug fixRaymond Lu2003-06-101-12/+9
| | | | | | | | Description: H5Tget_native_type fails for multiple kinds of datatype on Cray; it fails fix-length string type, too. Platforms tested: Cray, h5committest
* [svn-r6837] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup. Description: Move many package or internal function prototypes and macro definitions into tighter scope according to their current use. Added more comments where appropriate. Eliminate ancient, unused functions. Added a couple "accessor" functions to get parts of data structures which were moved out of scope. Platforms tested: h5committested
* [svn-r6395] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-121-13/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup. Description: Break up the ~9350 line H5T.c module into smaller pieces, which contain code for a particular feature or support for a datatype class. This should make the "main" H5T code (still in H5T.c) easier to support, as well as removing some of the "minor" routines from the user applications which don't use them (my rough estimates show about 4% reduction (~30K on a FreeBSD machine) in optimized, staticly-linked binaries for very simple programs) Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) Misc. update: Update MANIFEST
* [svn-r6387] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-101-123/+123
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead of collectively from all processes. Solution: Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which could possibly trigger metadata I/O. Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during independent I/O.
