* [svn-r13095] Description:Quincey Koziol2007-01-021-6/+51
| | | | | | | | | Minor edits on the way to testing writing to shared attributes in dense storage. Tested on: Mac OS X/32 10.4.8 (amazon) Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r13079] Description:Quincey Koziol2006-12-191-18/+183
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add more tests for checking that writing to shared attributes works correctly. (Looks like it still has a bug when dense storage is used, which I'll correct shortly). Add testing routine to shared message code, to retrieve reference count for a shared message. Add fractal heap 'op' callback for efficiently computing the hash value of an existing encoded message in the shared message fractal heap. Various minor cleanups and warning placations. Tested on: Linux/32 2.6 (chicago) Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for opening attributes in dense and/or shared storage by index. Move routines for building and operating on tables of attributes into separate source module. Fix bug where reverting from "dense" to "compact" storage would 'unshare' attributes. Minor code cleanups, etc. Tested on: Linux/32 2.6 (chicago) Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)

* [svn-r13047] Description:Quincey Koziol2006-12-121-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "attribute exists" internal routine to make verifying that an attribute with the same name doesn't already exist easier. Tweak "trace" script to produce more whitespace in H5TRACE macros, in order to make them easier to read. Minor other whitespace cleanups Tested on: Linux/32 2.6 (chicago) Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)

* [svn-r13028] Description:Quincey Koziol2006-12-061-0/+120
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add first pass of "dense" attribute storage to objects. Lots of parts of this are stubbed out, but all the tests are passing and I'll work on the corner cases soon. Eliminated several unused parameters from object header message callback routines. Other, miscellaneous code cleanups, etc. (and probably some things I've forgotten about... :-) Tested on: FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) Linux/32 2.4 (heping) AIX/32 5.? (copper)
* [svn-r12902] Checkin of Shared Object Header Message work.James Laird2006-11-131-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | This feature is still in progress; Shared Object Header Messages are not complete as a feature and are not thoroughly tested. There are still "TODO" comments in the code (comments with the word "JAMES" in them, so as not to be confused with other TODO comments). Hopefully this checkin will reduce the liklihood of conflicts as I finish implementing this feature. All current tests pass on juniper, copper (parallel), heping, kagiso, and mir.
* [svn-r12877] Description:Quincey Koziol2006-11-071-2/+2

* [svn-r12751] Purpose:Albert Cheng2006-10-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix (related to 544) Description: h5_get_file_size() was coded to return 0 if failed but file size can be 0. Changed the failure return value to -1 which is allowed by the returned type of off_t which is a signed type. Also changed the checking code of the stat call to just == 0 since that is how it is defined. Test: Could test it in heping only. Both Sol and Copper failed to compiled due to error in the Direct IO VFD code.
* [svn-r12740] Description:Quincey Koziol2006-10-101-53/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | Update datasets and the layout, attributes and fill-value object header messages to use the latest version of the file format flag. Tested on: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Linux/64 2.4 (mir) Linux/32 2.4 (heping)
* [svn-r12700] Alert:Quincey Koziol2006-10-021-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | File format is not stable, don't keep files produced! Description: First stage of checkins modifying the format of groups to support creation order. Implement "dense" storage for links in groups. Try to clarify some of the symbols for the H5L API. Add the H5Pset_latest_format() flag for FAPLs, to choose to use the newest file format options (including "dense" link storage in groups) Add the H5Pset_track_creation_order() flag for GCPLs, to enable creation order tracking in groups (although no index on creation order yet). Remove --enable-group-revision configure flag, as file format issues are now handled in a backwardly/forwardly compatible way. Clean up lots of compiler warnings and other minor formatting issues.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Fix core dump when flushing a file with a newly created attribute which hasn't had a value written to it still open. Solution: Write the attribute fill value when appropriate. Platforms tested: FreeBSd 4.10 (sleipnir) Linux 2.4 (verbena) Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
* [svn-r8048] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-01-101-126/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup & reorganization Description: Move further in the testing framework cleanup, eliminating all the global variables (moving them into testframe.c as static variables) from the testing framework code and moving it into the libh5test.a.

* [svn-r7950] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-12-131-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Attributes which were created with scalar dataspaces were reporting their dataspace as a simple dataspace when queried later. Solution: Fix the dataspace handling code when reading in the attribute message from the file to set the extent type correctly. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r7616] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Change field member count and indices for compound and enumerated types from 'int' to 'unsigned' to better reflect actual use.

* [svn-r7539] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-10-051-0/+183
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fixes and code cleanup Description: Re-worked ohdr test to use modification time messages instead of symbol table messages, now that the library correctly tries deleting the local heap and B-trees for the symbol tables (which didn't exist and caused the test to fail). Added tests for using named datatypes in attributes to verify that the reference counts are being tracked correctly, etc. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest
* [svn-r6861] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-131-12/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Iterating over the attributes of an object without any attributes was returning FAIL instead of 0 as the RM states. Solution: Changed return value of H5Aiterate for objects without attributes to be 0 and added regression tests for this. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committest not needed.
* [svn-r6666] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-04-141-2/+0

* [svn-r6252] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-01-091-12/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lots of performance improvements & a couple new internal API interfaces. Description: Performance Improvements: - Cached file offset & length sizes in shared file struct, to avoid constantly looking them up in the FCPL. - Generic property improvements: - Added "revision" number to generic property classes to speed up comparisons. - Changed method of storing properties from using a hash-table to the TBBT routines in the library. - Share the propery names between classes and the lists derived from them. - Removed redundant 'def_value' buffer from each property. - Switching code to use a "copy on write" strategy for properties in each list, where the properties in each list are shared with the properties in the class, until a property's value is changed in a list. - Fixed error in layout code which was allocating too many buffers. - Redefined public macros of the form (H5open()/H5check, <variable>) internally to only be (<variable>), avoiding innumerable useless calls to H5open() and H5check_version(). - Reuse already zeroed buffers in H5F_contig_fill instead of constantly re-zeroing them. - Don't write fill values if writing entire dataset. - Use gettimeofday() system call instead of time() system when checking the modification time of a dataset. - Added reference counted string API and use it for tracking the names of objects opening in a file (for the ID->name code). - Removed redundant H5P_get() calls in B-tree routines. - Redefine H5T datatype macros internally to the library, to avoid calling H5check redundantly. - Keep dataspace information for dataset locally instead of reading from disk each time. Added new module to track open objects in a file, to allow this (which will be useful eventually for some FPH5 metadata caching issues). - Remove H5AC_find macro which was inlining metadata cache lookups, and call function instead. - Remove redundant memset() calls from H5G_namei() routine. - Remove redundant checking of object type when locating objects in metadata cache and rely on the address only. - Create default dataset object to use when default dataset creation property list is used to create datasets, bypassing querying for all the property list values. - Use default I/O vector size when performing raw data with the default dataset transfer property list, instead of querying for I/O vector size. - Remove H5P_DEFAULT internally to the library, replacing it with more specific default property list based on the type of property list needed. - Remove redundant memset() calls in object header message (H5O*) routines. - Remove redunant memset() calls in data I/O routines. - Split free-list allocation routines into malloc() and calloc()- like routines, instead of one combined routine. - Remove lots of indirection in H5O*() routines. - Simplify metadata cache entry comparison routine (used when flushing entire cache out). - Only enable metadata cache statistics when H5AC_DEBUG is turned on, instead of always tracking them. - Simplify address comparison macro (H5F_addr_eq). - Remove redundant metadata cache entry protections during dataset creation by protecting the object header once and making all the modifications necessary for the dataset creation before unprotecting it. - Reduce # of "number of element in extent" computations performed by computing and storing the value during dataspace creation. - Simplify checking for group location's file information, when file has not been involving in file-mounting operations. - Use binary encoding for modification time, instead of ASCII. - Hoist H5HL_peek calls (to get information in a local heap) out of loops in many group routine. - Use static variable for iterators of selections, instead of dynamically allocation them each time. - Lookup & insert new entries in one step, avoiding traversing group's B-tree twice. - Fixed memory leak in H5Gget_objname_idx() routine (tangential to performance improvements, but fixed along the way). - Use free-list for reference counted strings. - Don't bother copying object names into cached group entries, since they are re-created when an object is opened. The benchmark I used to measure these results created several thousand small (2K) datasets in a file and wrote out the data for them. This is Elena's "regular.c" benchmark. These changes resulted in approximately ~4.3x speedup of the development branch when compared to the previous code in the development branch and ~1.4x speedup compared to the release branch. Additionally, these changes reduce the total memory used (code and data) by the development branch by ~800KB, bringing the development branch back into the same ballpark as the release branch. I'll send out a more detailed description of the benchmark results as a followup note. New internal API routines: Added "reference counted strings" API for tracking strings that get used by multiple owners without duplicating the strings. Added "ternary search tree" API for text->object mappings.

* [svn-r4643] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-11-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Windows is generating hundreds of warnings from some of the practices in the library. Mostly, they are because size_t is 32-bit and hsize_t is 64-bit on Windows and we were carelessly casting the larger values down to the smaller ones without checking for overflow. Also, some other small code cleanups,etc. Solution: Re-worked some algorithms to eliminate the casts and also added more overflow checking for assignments and function parameters which needed casts. Kent did most of the work, I just went over his changes and fit them into the the library code a bit better. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup for better compatibility with C++ compilers Description: C++ compilers are choking on our C code, for various reasons: we used our UNUSED macro incorrectly when referring to pointer types we used various C++ keywords as variables, etc. we incremented enum's with the ++ operator. Solution: Changed variables, etc.to avoid C++ keywords (new, class, typename, typeid, template) Fixed usage of UNUSED macro from this: char UNUSED *c to this: char * UNUSED c Switched the enums from x++ to x=x+1 Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix (sort of) Description: The RCSID string in H5public.h was causing the C++ code problem as it was included multiple times and C++ did not like multiple definitions of the same static variable. Solution: Since we don't really make use of the RCSID strings as we have not installed it in all source files, we decided to remove it. Platforms tested: eirene (linux), modi4 (IRIX64-64) both serial and parallel modes.

Thanks to Quincey, the comment no longer applied. ./src/H5T.c Relaxed the H5Tpack() a little so it would pack compound data structures that had non-transient atomic members. ./tools/h5ls.c Added a `-g' (or `--group') flag that causes information to be printed about the specified group instead of the group's contents. (sort of like Unix's `ls -d'). The `-g' can be used in combination with `-r' to print information about the group and its contents.

If source files are compiled with different switches then each source file will resolve H5T_NATIVE_CHAR appropriately so it matches the C type `char' in that source file. NOTE: THERE ARE OTHER DOCUMENTATION FILES THAT I DIDN'T CHANGE BECAUSE I CAN'T MODIFY THE SOURCE. ./test/extend.c Swapped two lines to prevent diagnostic messages from messing up the formatted output.
