* [svn-r11245] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches difficult. Solution: Ran this script in each directory: foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp) sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f end Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r10750] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-05-171-0/+775
New feature. Description: Add "memory pool" internal data structure. This set of routines is designed to add a way to allocate small pieces of information for a particular purpose and then free all the pieces at once (i.e. without having to free each piece individually). Memory pools are also good for localizing lots of small allocations that logically belong together. For example, if you were constructing a temporary linked list, you could create a new memory pool, allocate all the nodes for the list from the memory pool and when you were done with the list, just destroy the pool instead of tracking through the list and freeing each block independently. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) h5committest
