* [svn-r10785] Purpose:James Laird2005-05-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feature Description: Added "support" for UTF-8 character encoding. Solution: Wrote tests to check that UTF-8 can be used in a number of places in HDF5 (object names, data, etc.). These tests live in test/tunicode.c. Added a new UTF-8 character encoding for datatypes. Platforms tested: mir, modi4, heping Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove feature Description: Retire threaded, balanced binary tree code from HDF5 use. Requiescat in pace... Also, regenerate dependencies files. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require full h5committesting (the code is already disconnected from everything except its tests)
* [svn-r9580] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-11-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new internal data structure Description: Add an implementation of skip lists to the library (see comment in src/H5SL.c for references to the papers describing them) as a potential replacement for our current threaded, balanced binary tree container. Skip lists are much simpler to implement and should be faster to use. Also, added new error codes to release branch, so bump the minor version number to indicate that the library is no longer perfectly compatible with the 1.6.3 release. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Solaris 2.7 (arabica) Too minor to require further testing (the skip lists aren't actually used by any library code yet)
* [svn-r9420] Bug fix.Albert Cheng2004-10-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tconfig.c: Verified only the unsigned int types and did not detect inconsistencies on signed type such as int_fast16_t. Changed code to verify both signed and unsigned int types wherever applicable. It also depends on signed and unsigned forms of an int type must be of the same sizes. testhdf5.c: Shorten the configure test name to 'config'--easier to type. Tested on LLNL Frost and Snow. Will test in Copper after commit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | feature Description: Another revamp of the test interface. TestInit: is used to register Test Program name, test program specific Usage and option parsing routines. TestUsage: will invoke extra usage routine if provided. TestParseCmdLine: will invoke extra option parsing routine if provided. GetTestSummary() and GetTestCleanup() replaces the previous Summary and CleanUp arguments of TestParseCmdLine. test/testhdf5, test/ttsafe.c, testpar/t_mpi.c, testpar/testphdf5.c: All have been updated to use the new Test Routines. testpar/t_mpi.c: Also a fix of a compiler optimization bug when pgcc in Linux is used to compile it. Changed buf[] and expected to unsigned char type to avoid a bug that failed to do sign-extension. Platforms tested: "h5committested" Also tested thread-safe option in eirene.
* [svn-r9079] Purpose:Albert Cheng2004-08-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feature Description: Changed TestParseCmdLine to accept an optional extra_parse() function provided by indidivual test application. Extra_parse() can handle extra options special to that test application. Updated testhdf5.c to use the new syntax of TestParseCmdLine(). Platforms tested: On eirene both serial and parallel.

* [svn-r6252] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-01-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r4851] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-01-231-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: When file space was returned to the file space free-list for reuse, occasionally raw data allocations which used space from the free-list would overlap with the metadata accumulator and get over-written with the cached information in the accumulator, corrupting the data. Solution: Check if the space about to be recycled on the free-list is going to be used for raw data and also overlaps with the metadata accumulator cache, avoiding using space that fits those criteria. This fixes bug #701 Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r4474] Purpose:Albert Cheng2001-09-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | New feature. Description: Added a test to verify the correctness of information provided by configure in H5config.h. Some information, such as SIZEOF some types can be hardcoded by config/<machine>. This test verified the information is indeed correct. Currenly, only size of C language types are verified. Platforms tested: Eirene, regular, arabica.
* [svn-r4355] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-08-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup (sorta) Description: When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to 16-bit architectures. Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source module (like Kent's h4toh5 library). Solution: Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update Description: Changed includes of the form: #include <hdf5_file.h> to #include "hdf5_file.h" so that gcc can pick them up easier without including the system header files since we don't care about them. Platforms tested: Linux
* [svn-r3677] Purpose:Albert Cheng2001-03-201-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: "Time" datatypes (H5T_UNIX_D*) were not being stored and retrieved in the datatype object header message correctly.

* [svn-r2531] Description:Albert Cheng2000-09-101-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "FILENAME" declared extern in h5test.h is not always used. It was used in h5_cleanup to remove temporary files created during tests. Not all tests codes have used this routine. Indeed, quite a few of test programs do "#define FILENAME ". Also, h5_cleanup needs to work in tandem with h5_fixname. h5_fixname accepts an explicite base_name argument instead of using the global variable FILENAME. That is cleaner. Solution: Added char *base_name[] as a new argument to h5_cleanup, in the same style as h5_fixname. Removed "extern char *FILENAME..." from use. Also, undo some unnecessary declaration of "char *FILENAME" from some tests which don't use it at all (yet). Platforms tested: modi4-64(irix64), arabica(solari2.7), eirene(linux) (arabica could not launch tests automatically. I had to hack in LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make them run.)

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.

Similarly for `long' vs. `long long' and `unsigned long' vs. `unsigned long long'. ./test/Makefile.in Added `big' to the list of tests to normally run. ./test/big.c Added a check to see if the file system supports holes and if it doesn't then the test is skipped. ./RELEASE Added a couple minor details details about API tracing and symbolic links. ./src/H5public.h Added comments about the use of hbool_t. Fixed a comment spelling error. ./test/testhdf5.h Changed the way the version number is printed. The old method was `hdf5-1.2.3d' and the new method is `hdf5 version 1.2 release 3' ./tools/h5ls.c Only prints the max dimension if it differs from the current dimension or if verbose mode is enabled. Added switches `-?', `-h', and `--help' to print a usage message. Added switches `-v' and `--verbose' to generate more verbose output. Added switches `-V' and `--version' to print the version number and exit. The version number is printed like: This is h5ls version 1.0 release 24' ./bin/h5vers [NEW] This script prints, sets, and/or increments the hdf5 version number. It can be run from the top directory or any of the child directories like src, tools, test, etc. Some examples: $ h5vers # Display current version 1.0.24 $ h5vers -v version 1.0 release 24 # Display current version. $ h5vers -s 5.2.8 # Set version and display 5.2.8 $ h5vers -s 2.1 2.1.0 $ h5vers -s hdf5-1.0.24a.tar.bz2 1.0.24 $ h5vers -s 'version 2.0 release 8' 2.0.8 $ h5vers -s 'junk 22 junk 33 more junk 66 and 99 junk' 33.66.99 $ h5vers -i major # Increment from 1.0.24 2.0.0 $ h5vers -i minor # Increment from 1.0.24 1.1.0 $ h5vers -i release # Increment from 1.0.24 1.0.25 $ h5vers ~/hdf5/src/H5public.h # Use an alternate file 1.0.24 ./bin/checkapi [NEW] Run from the src directory with arguments H5[A-Z]*.c and it will print the locations of each place where an API function was called from within the library. Use it as the compile or grep command under Emacs and you can C-x ` through the list. ./bin/debug-ohdr [NEW] Keeps track of H5O_open() and H5O_close() debugging messages and lists the file addresses of the object headers that are opened but never closed. You must enable the `o' debugging at configuration time and pipe stderr into this script. ./bin/errors Added a note to indicate that this script no longer works because of changes in the HRETURN_ERROR() and HGOTO_ERROR() macros. ./bin/iostats [NEW] Watches output from the Linux strace program and accumulates statistics about low-level access to an hdf5 file. The output is a list of 2d data points which can be plotted by gnuplot to show file seeking behavior. ./MANIFEST Added new 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.
