Makes testing parameters specified with AddTest non-const again when
passed to test functions. This allows test functions to update their
parameters during execution and is particularly useful for tests
which use those parameters to accumulate statistics, error counts,
etc. without resorting to global variables.
This is where most people will expect to find license information. The
COPYING_LBNL_HDF5 file has also been renamed to LICENSE_LBNL_HDF5.
The licenses are unchanged.
Added new testframe.h header to document testing framework functions and
split them away from h5test.h and from test programs that don't
integrate with the testframe.c testing framework
Added new test setup callback to testframe.c testing framework
Added parameters to AddTest() to specify size of test parameters so they
can be copied for later use
Enabled HDF5 error stacks in testframe.c framework by default and added
some error stack suppressions to some testhdf5 tests
Added new maxthreads option to testframe.c framework to allow specifying
the maximum number of threads a multi-threaded test can use
Moved TestExpress functionality out of testframe.c and into more general
h5test.c for wider use by tests through getter and setter
Updated some tests to not mix and match functionality between h5test.c/h
and testframe.c/h
Moved some functionality from testphdf5.h into testpar.h for parallel
tests that aren't part of testphdf5
Added new parallel test library that contains common shared
functionality for parallel tests (similar to h5test library)
Complete overhaul of the concurrency-related aspects of the library (threading, atomics, locking, etc.), adding private routines in the H5TS package to allow internal algorithms to use all of these capabilities.
Adds many new features & components in the H5TS package that are equivalent to common concurrency data structures and capabilities: "regular" and recursive mutices, condition variables, semaphores, thread barriers, 'once' support, thread pools, atomic variables, thread-local keys, and spawning & joining internal threads.
Now supports C11, pthreads, and Windows threading for all H5TS capabilities, except the recursive readers/writers lock, which is not supported on Windows (because Windows threads don't provide a callback on thread-local variable deletion).
The "global" API lock is switched to use a recursive mutex from the H5TS package, instead of its own variant.
API context code (H5CX package) and error stacks (H5E package) now use the common thread-local info, instead of their own variants.
Subfiling code is switched from using Mercury threading features to the new internal H5TS features.
Removes the mercury threading code.
Adds a configure option (--enable-threads / HDF5_ENABLE_THREADS), enabled by default, to control whether threading is enabled within the library.
