The `#if' near the top to set the data space to 8GB has been simplified now that `long_long' is always defined and the error message is improved when `long_long' isn't wide enough. Cleanup code was added to the error handling. ./test/gheap.c ./test/istore.c Uses libh5test.a. Added error cleanup code. ./test/dtypes.c ./test/h5test.c Added 68 new tests that check hardware and software conversions between `long long' and `unsigned long long' and the other integer types. The tests only run on machines where sizeof(long_long)!=sizeof(long). We test a total of 180 different integer conversions, half in hardware and half in software. Cut down the number of times each test is run from 5 to 1 so it doesn't take so long. If you want to run more times there's a constant that can be changed at the top of the file. ./test/extend.c Removed unused variable. ./test/h5test.c ./test/h5test.h ./test/external.c ./test/fillval.c The h5_cleanup() returns true/false so it can be used in an `if' statement to clean up additional files. ./doc/html/Environment.html Indented. Added HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_DRIVER descriptions. ./src/H5P.c Changed the trace type for the second argument from `Iu' to `x' since it's an output parameter. ./INSTALL Added a warning that the GNU zlib that comes with the latest version of HDF4 is too old to use with HDF5 and must be renamed so configure doesn't see it when `--enable-hdf4' is used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ./MANIFEST ./test/Makefile.in ./test/shtype.c [REMOVED] Removed shtype.c because it was all commented out. Besides, these tests are done in dtypes.c now anyway. ./test/external.c ./test/fillval.c ./test/flush1.c ./test/flush2.c ./test/links.c ./test/mount.c ./test/mtime.c ./test/unlink.c The tests that check the HDF5 API use the h5test support functions. For one thing, that means that you can specify the file driver that thay use by the HDF5_DRIVER environment variable. Possible values are: HDF5_DRIVER='sec2' Use read() and write() HDF5_DRIVER='stdio' Use fread() and fwrite() HDF5_DRIVER='core' Use malloc() and free() HDF5_DRIVER='split' Split meta and raw data HDF5_DRIVER='family N' Use file families with each member being N megabytes (N can be fractional, defaults to one). Some tests might fail for certain drivers: for instance, the mount and link tests fail for the `core' driver because they must be able to close and then reopen a file.

It's a one line change. Changed the way the library is closed so we have more control over the order the interfaces are shut down. Instead of registering an atexit() function for every interface in some haphazard order we just register one: H5_term_library() which then calls the H5*_term_interface() functions in a well-defined order. If the library is closed and then reopened repeatedly by calling H5close() and H5open() in a loop we only add one copy of the library termination functions with atexit(). Termination is a two-step process in order to help detect programming errors that would cause an infinite loop caused by the termination of one interface waking up some other previously terminated interface. The first step terminates the interface and *marks it as unusable*. After all interfaces are terminated then we mark them all as usable again. The FUNC_ENTER() macro has been modified to return failure or to dump core (depending on whether NDEBUG is defined) if we try to call an interface while it's shutting down. ./src/H5.c The H5dont_atexit() function returns failure if it's called more than once or if it's called too late. However, the error stack is not automatically printed on failure because the library might not be initialized yet ./test/chunk.c ./test/flush1.c ./test/flush2.c ./test/iopipe.c ./test/overhead.c ./test/ragged.c Changed the extra cast for Win32 so we do floating point division again -- it was just confusion about precedence and associativity of casting and the C coercion rules. Removed extra carriage returns inserted by broken operating system. ./src/H5Ffamily.c Fixed an bug where H5F_fam_write() lowered the EOF marker for one of the family members causing H5F_fam_read() to read zeros. ./test/h5test.h [NEW] ./test/h5test.c [NEW] ./test/Makefile.in ./test/bittests.c ./test/cmpd_dset.c ./test/dsets.c ./test/dtypes.c ./test/extend.c ./test/external.c Support library for test files. This isn't done yet but Katie's contractions are ~10 minutes apart so I figured I better back this stuff up just in case I'm not here next week... Eventually all test files will understand HDF5_DRIVER to name the low level file driver and parameters so we can easily test various drivers. They will also understand HDF5_PREFIX to prepend to the beginning of file names which is necessary for testing ROMIO with various drivers. Also, the cleanup function will know how to use the file name prefix and will understand different file driver naming schemes like file families. I'm not sure they'll understand the `gsf:' type prefixes yet. Note, the external test is completely commented out because I'm in the middle of modifying it. It will still compile and run but it doesn't test anything at the moment.

Removed all the #ifdef WIN32 from the source and replaced them with OS-independent stuff. Specifics follow: Check for non-Posix.1 `st_blocks' field in `struct stat' which is used by the big file test to decide if the file system supports holes. If the st_blocks field isn't present then we just skip the test. Configure checks for <io.h> <sys/resource.h> <sys/time.h> and <winsock.h> and defines HAVE_IO_H, HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H, HAVE_SYS_TIME_H and HAVE_WINSOCK_H when they're found. Configure checks whether both <sys/time.h> and <time.h> can be included and defines SYS_TIME_WITH_TIME if so. Otherwise include only <sys/time.h> or <time.h> even if both exist. Configure checks sizeof(__int64) and defines SIZEOF___INT64 to the result or to zero if __int64 isn't defined. The source uses `long long' in preference to `__int64'. Removed null WIN32 definition for `inline' since such a definition already exists in H5config.h Protected gettimeofday() calls in debugging code with HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY instead of WIN32. ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Flow.c ./src/H5Fmpio.c ./src/H5Fsec2.c ./src/H5Fstdio.h ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Tconv.c ./src/H5private.h Removed #include of system files from library source files and consolodated them into H5private.h where they're protected by various configuration macros (most of them were duplicated there already anyway). ./test/big.c ./test/chunk.c ./test/cmpd_dset.c ./test/dsets.c ./test/dtypes.c ./test/extend.c ./test/external.c ./test/fillval.c ./test/flush1.c ./test/flush2.c ./test/iopipe.c ./test/links.c ./test/mount.c ./test/mtime.c ./test/overhead.c ./test/ragged.c ./test/shtype.c ./test/unlink.c Protected system #include's with #ifdef's from H5config.h. Undefined NDEBUG since some of the tests rely on assert() to check return values. Removed WIN32 definitions for __unused__ since this can be controlled by the definition of HAVE_ATTRIBUTE in H5config.h ./test/testhdf5.h Removed the CLEAN_CMD definition because we no longer use it. Albert's cleanup() functions replaced it. ./test/fillval.c Initialized auto hid_t variables to fix warnings in error recovery code when data flow analysis is turned on in compilers. ./test/h5tools.c Initialized an auto variable to fix a compiler warning. ./test/chunk.c ./test/ragged.c The WIN32 had some unsigned variables changed to signed because the compiler generates warnings when coercing unsigned to double(?). I changed them back to unsigned because they really are unsigned quantities. If this the change was just to shut up extraneous warnings then perhaps a compiler flag can do the same; otherwise if the compiler generates bad code then we should supply a patch file instead messing up source code with bug work-arounds. ./src/H5detect.c Protected system #include's with #ifdef's from H5config.h thereby removing a WIN32. If getpwuid() doesn't exist (HAVE_GETPWUID) then we assume that `struct passwd' doesn't exist either (we don't really need it in that case). The H5T_NATIVE_LLONG and H5T_NATIVE_ULLONG are defined in terms of `long long' or else `__int64' or else `long' depending on what's available. ./src/H5Flow.c ./src/H5Ofill.c Added __unused__ to some function arguments that aren't used when assertions are turned off. ./src/H5V.c Changed an auto variable name in some hand-inlined code to get rid of a warning about the variable shadowing a previous auto.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ./src/H5A.c Named data types can have attributes. 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.

Use it like this: HDfprintf(stderr,"size is %Zd\n", (size_t)x); ./src/H5AC.c ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Fprivate.h The maximum number of meta data objects that can be cached can be set from the application (but the library might not honor it every time; it's a hint). ./src/H5D.c Changed a warning message so it's not so alarming. ./src/H5Fistore.c Chunks can be cached. ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5Oprivate.h Added H5O_copy() and H5O_free() to copy and free messages. ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Ppublic.h Added H5Pset_cache() and H5Pget_cache() and changed lots of "template" to "property list". ./src/H5Z.c ./src/H5Zpublic.h Miscellaneous little things to clean up. Mostly just removed H5Z_MAXVAL and added H5Z_USERDEF_MIN and H5Z_USERDEF_MAX. ./MANIFEST ./test/Makefile.in ./test/chunk.c [NEW] Added a performance test for chunk caching. It looks at the amount of I/O instead of timing because timing is partly dependent on the chunk size and I wanted a measurement that was a function of only the cache size. Run `chunk' with no arguments and then say `gnuplot x-gnuplot' to see the plots (press return between plots). Postscript files are created for each plot. ./test/big.c ./test/cmpd_dset.c ./test/extend.c ./test/external.c ./test/gheap.c Added H5F_ACC_DEBUG so we can see cache performance statistics.

This isn't fully tested yet, so hsize_t and hssize_t are defined as size_t and ssize_t in H5public.h. Setting them to larger values will trip up gcc versions less than 2.8.1 on x86 platforms. Documented unused function formals with `__unused__' before the formal name. This also has the effect of supressing warning messages for gcc since it's defined to be `__attribute__((unused))' in the H5private.h file. ./src/debug.c ./src/h5ls.c If the file name contains a `%' then the file is opened as a file family with H5P_DEFAULT for the file member access property list. ./src/h5ls.c The group name is optional, defaulting to `/'. ./src/hdf5.h Added some missing public header files.

Besides, our test files only use them in a handful of places and it's probably useless to export them to the app. The app is always written in terms of standard numeric types or its own numeric types and probably never in terms of HDF5 numeric types. If it were, then the user would have to copy from their type to hdf5 type for almost every hdf5 API function call! Same goes for return values. I also removed SUCCEED/FAIL from the API since apps should be checking against zero anyway. if (FAIL==(space=H5Screate_simple(...))) /*wrong*/ if ((space=H5Fcreate_simple(...)<0)) /*right*/ ./src/H5.c Changed arguments of H5version() from `uintn' to `unsigned'. ./src/H5Tpublic.h ./src/H5T.c Changed return type of H5Tget_nmembers() from `intn' to `int' ./src/H5A.c ./src/H5Aprivate.h ./src/H5Apublic.h Changed `H5Asearch_func_t' to `H5A_search_func_t' and moved its definition from the public to the private header file. ./html/H5.format.html Documented changes made to the external file list (H5O_EFL) message. ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5Dprivate.h ./src/H5E.c ./src/H5Epublic.h ./src/H5O.c ./src/H5Oefl.c ./src/H5Oprivate.h ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Ppublic.h Added partial support for external raw data files. HDF5 can now describe external raw data files by listing the file names, offsets, and size for a dataset. However, we will restrict a dataset to be stored "contiguously" when the external file list is viewed as a single address space. The current implementation is unable to read/write to external files--that will come later this week as will documentation. For now, take a look at ./test/external.c, particularly the calls to H5Pset_external(). ./test/Makefile.in ./test/external.c [NEW] ./MANIFEST Added tests for external storage. Note: the read test is supposed to fail at this point since reading external datasets is not implemented yet. There is no write test. ./src/H5S.c ./src/H5Sprivate.h ./src/H5Ssimp.c Added H5S_get_npoints_max() to return the maximum possible number of data points in a data space. Added an extra argument to H5S_get_dims() which returns the maximum dims. ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5Fprivate.h ./src/H5Fpublic.h ./src/H5M.c [DEPRICATED] ./src/H5Mpublic.h [DEPRICATED] Changed `template' to `property list' in lots of places. ./src/H5Osdspace.c Removed an extra `\n' from a print statement. ./src/H5S_public.h Changed H5S_UNLIMITED to the maximum size_t value. ./test/extend.c "Extendable" is spelled "extendible". ./src/H5Farray.c ./src/H5V.c ./src/H5Vprivate.h ./test/hyperslab.c Strides are now type ssize_t instead of int. These have nothing to do with the sample granularity arguments for hyperslabs, which are also called "strides" in the code. ./test/tstab.c Changed assumptions about default address and length sizes.
