* [svn-r30113] Description:Quincey Koziol2016-06-281-41/+100
| | | | | | | | Clean up warnings (from 2774 -> 1560, with my standard debug build) Tested on: MacOSX/64 10.11.5 (amazon) w/serial, parallel & production (h5committest forthcoming)
* [svn-r28761] Description:Quincey Koziol2016-01-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up many mismatches between malloc/free and H5MM_malloc/H5MM_xfree in the library and tests (and use of H5free_memory and H5Dvlen_reclaim). Also make H5Ocopy use a private version of H5Lexists, which doesn't internally throw (and suppress) errors when an object (or the path to it) isn't found in the destination. Tested on: MacOSX/64 10.11.2 (amazon) w/serial & parallel (h5committest forthcoming)

* [svn-r27811] Description:Quincey Koziol2015-09-161-16/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | Refactor property list code to "deep copy" properties in the correct way, retraining the rest of the library to copy & release things correctly. This cleans up another batch of memory leaks, etc. within the library. Tested on: MacOSX/64 10.10.5 (amazon) w/serial & parallel Linux/32 2.6.x (jam) w/serial & parallel (h5committest forthcoming)
* [svn-r27768] Description:Quincey Koziol2015-09-141-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

The addition of view objects in the fastforward project is expected to be brough into the trunk sometimes in the future, which is why we need to make this change. Tested Manually on Jam and Ostrich.

* [svn-r10658] Purpose:Leon Arber2005-04-251-35/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: The intel compiler on windows doesn't support long long to double conversion. Solution: Added a flag H5_LLONG_TO_FP_CAST_WORKS. When it is not defined, the data transform will issue an error when someone tries to perform a transform from long long to double and the long long to double dtransform test will be skipped. Platforms tested: heping, sol, copper Misc. update:
* [svn-r10238] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-03-201-14/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optimization Description: Speed up I/O on enumerated datatypes (including those nested in compound datatypes, arrays, etc.) if the destination datatype is a proper superset of the source datatype. Solution: Detect the situation and treat as no-op datatype conversion. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Too minor to require h5committest
