* [svn-r29702] Merged r29182 and 29183 from the trunk.Dana Robinson2016-04-151-2/+59
| | | | | | | | | Fixes HDFFV-8740 (external file storage relative path fix). Tested on: 64-bit Ubuntu 15.10 (Linux 4.2.0 x86_64) gcc 5.2.1 serial autotools w/ C++ & Fortran parallel autotools (MPICH 3.1.4) w/ Fortran serial CMake
* [svn-r29606] Fix for shared file pointer HDFFV-9469. This is the same fix ↵Vailin Choi2016-04-011-0/+158
| | | | | | for revise_chunks (#28908). Tested on jam, platypus, emu, kite, moohan, ostrich, osx1010test, quail.
* [svn-r27685] Merge of r27572 from trunkDana Robinson2015-09-061-13/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Remove all VMS-specific code from the library. The exception is the VMS floating-point tests since those are special as VMS floats are odd. Those files will be considered separately. Fixes HDFFV-9495 Tested on: h5committest
* [svn-r26398] Merges r26333 from trunkDana Robinson2015-03-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eliminates gcc warnings due to -Wunsuffixed-float-constants. - Adds 'F' suffixes for most float constants. - A few constants MUST be of type double. These now receive the long double L suffix and are then cast to double. I do this via a new H5_DOUBLE() macro which was added to H5private.h. - Additionally, some 1.8-specific float suffixes were added. Fixes: HDFFV-9148 Tested on: h5committest
* [svn-r26264] Merge of r26225 from trunk.Dana Robinson2015-02-211-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | Removed a a work-around for a broken CodeWarrior open() call from configure that causes a test in test/tfile.c to be skipped. This change removes the H5_NO_SHARED_WRITING symbol. Tested on: jam (no code changes w/ non-CodeWarrior compilers)
* [svn-r25497] Description:Quincey Koziol2014-07-301-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | Merge changes that correspond to the 64-bit ID changes (without the actual switch to 64-bit IDs) to the 1.8 release branch. (Plus a few minor cleanups and alignments with the trunk that aren't on the branch) Tested on: Mac OSX/64 10.9.4 (amazon) w/C++ & FORTRAN (h5committested on branch already for a week)

* [svn-r24391] Issue 8528 - H5F_get_objects overfilled the list for object ↵Raymond Lu2013-11-011-0/+130
| | | | | | IDs. I merged the fix the trunk. I put the safeguard in both H5F_get_objects and H5F_get_objects_cb to prevent overfill the list. I also added test cases in tfile.c. Tested with h5committest on jam, koala, ostrich, and platypus.

| | | | | | fault when the file is closed. I fixed the problem by putting a condition check early in H5O_create of H5O.c. The old code checked it too late, not until a file space is created. I added a test case in tfile.c to check the creation of group, dataset, attribute, and datatype. Tested on jam - I've tested the same changes in the trunk with h5committest.

Extended scope of if(pass) block to include whole function-flush_cache(). r18215: Fix coverity item 317. Removed unreachable code in H5B2_hdr_alloc. r18216: Fixed Coverity issues 57 & 67. Checked oid_count > 0 before memory allocation and oid_list != NULL before dereferencing. Tested on: Mac OS X/32 10.6.2 (amazon) w/debug & production (daily tested on Coverity branch already)

| | | | | | | | | | | system functions to make sure the stat function behaves as we expected. This test is skipped on some system because the modification time from stat is the same as the last access time (We know OpenVMS behaves in this way). Tested on jam. I've tested the same change for the trunk on jam, smirom, and linew. My account for OpenVMS expired. I'll test it once I have it back.
* [svn-r17490] Skip the test in the function test_rw_noupdate() for OpenVMS ↵Raymond Lu2009-09-171-0/+12

* [svn-r16712] Purpose: Fix bug 1423Neil Fortner2009-04-081-5/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Description: Versions of the library between 1.3.0 and 1.6.3 have a bug which prevents them from opening any file that does not have the root group's symbol table information cached in the root group's entry in the superblock. Prior to 1.8 this was not an issue as this information was always cached. However, 1.8.0 stopped writing this information (which is not required by the file format specification), and these older versions can therefore not read files created or last written by versions 1.8.0 to 1.8.2. This fix modifies the library to once again add this information to the superblock (when using the old file format). Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
* [svn-r16616] Purpose: Fix bug 1499Neil Fortner2009-03-261-0/+120
| | | | | | | | | | | Description: Due to a bug in H5F_super_read, every time a file with a user block was opened it would grow by the size of the user block. The bug has been fixed, and comments have been added to clarify when an eoa address should be relative and when it should be absolute. Tested: jam, linew (h5committest)

* [svn-r13497] Description:Quincey Koziol2007-03-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move ref. count of # of links to an object out of the object header's prefix and make it a header message instead (since it's a "rare" occurence), eliminating some more space for each object in the file. Inserting this "ref. count" message exposed a flaw in the library's mechanism for locating a message to promote to another chunk and replace with a continuation message, which required some additional work to fix. It's still not completely robust, but it's working for more cases now and detects failures robustly. Reduced the minimum size of an object header chunk to just enough to contain a header message prefix and continuation message. Tested on: FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
* [svn-r13477] Description:Quincey Koziol2007-03-081-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main purpose of this checkin was to eliminate the space used for tracking creation time indices when there is no way they can be used (i.e. attributes can't be shared in the file and the user hasn't turned on attribute creation tracking), however there were some other minor changes which crept in: - Fix a cache locking deadlock when a shared attribute and one of its components end up in the same fractal heap direct block. (This is fixed the "slow" way for right now, until John has time to add support for readers/writer locking to the cache. - Optimize attribute copying when a copy will be kept during a v2 B-tree search. - When freeing a block on disk, attempt to merge it with the metadata and "small data" aggregators. Tested on: Mac OS X/32 10.4.8 (amazon) FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)

* [svn-r12902] Checkin of Shared Object Header Message work.James Laird2006-11-131-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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. Tested on: FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++ Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-v1.6 compa Mac OSX/32 10.4.8 (amazon) AIX 5.3 (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
