Fixing minor bug
Description
The new function H5File::getFileSize was missing a return statement.
Added one.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Description: 1. Added H5Fget_filesize and test(in file_handle.c) which returns
the actual file size of an opened file. Also added to C++ API and test.
2. The error tests were messed up in test/Makefile.in.
Solution: 1. Call H5FDget_eof to return file size. 2. Corrected.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Code update
Description:
Update C++ wrappers to use new ID reference counting mechanisms.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/C++
Too focused to require h5committest
Add/Improve documentation
Description
Added doxygen documentation to H5PredType.cpp and made minor changes
to the others for either correction or clarification.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Misc. update:
Add C++ wrappers - incrementally check-in
Description
Added wrapper for these C APIs:
H5Rcreate
H5Rget_obj_type
H5Rget_region
This is an incremental check-in to preserve the code, corresponding
tests will follow in a few weeks.
Platforms:
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
I'm checking the code out and test on arabica too.
Misc. update:
Add more C++ wrapper and documentation - incrementally check-in
Description:
Added doxygen documentation to:
H5DataSet.cpp
H5DataSpace.cpp
H5CommonFG.cpp
and a wrapper for H5Rcreate to H5Object.* with tests will be added
later.
There are more documentation need to be added to these files but
to preserve the changes, I check them in now.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Misc. update:
Add more C++ wrappers and documentation - incrementally check-in
Description:
Added wrapper for:
H5Tdetect_class
Also, added Doxygen documentation to existing member functions of
AtomType and DataType. Test for the new wrapper will follow in a
few weeks.
Some typos and small format changes are done in H5File.cpp.

Add more C++ wrappers - incrementally check-in
Description:
Added more wrappers for C H5F functions and added Doxygen documentation
to existing member functions of H5File. This is an incremental check-in
to preserve the code, corresponding tests will follow in a few weeks.
Newly added wrappers are for:
H5Fget_freespace
H5Fget_obj_count
H5Fget_obj_ids
H5Fget_vfd_handle

Cleaning up warnings
Description:
Many exception constructors have warnings about reference to temporary
location because of the parameter initialization, for example,
"const string& var = 0."
Solution:
Changed "string&" parameters to pass by value for these constructors.
Consequently, passing string by value also takes care of char pointers
so the overloaded constructors for char pointers are then removed.
Also, instead of setting Exception::detailMessage to null string, I
set it to DEFAULT_MSG ("No detailed information provided") by default.

Bug fix and minor code enhancement
Description:
Missing methods to read/write C++ String for an attribute and
a dataset.
Solution:
Added overloaded functions read and write to H5::Attribute and
H5::DataSet.
Also, added another constructor StrType so the need to separately
set the length of the string type can be eliminated. It's minor
but convenient.
Made some minor changes to make error messages more readable.

SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Adding new platform support
Description:
Added support for the C++ API on hpux11.00 with the compiler aCC.
Because aCC doesn't use "std," a new macro H5_NO_STD is provided
and used where "std" is presented in the library.
In addition, changed several cout's when reporting errors to cerr's.

HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Linux 2.2x (eirene)

SunOS 5.7 (arabica) - by Elena
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Small bug fixing
Description:
Replaced NULL by 0 for initializing or passing null "string".
The problem showed up on platinum.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 6.2 (eirene)
IA-32 Linux Cluster (platinum)
Purpose: Usability enhancement
Description:
- Added more information about the failure to all the throw's,
i.e, member function name and more detail about the failure, where
appropriate. Also, added exception throws for private functions,
such as p_close to provide more specific details.
- Added two api functions: Exception::getFuncName() and
Exception::getCFuncName() to provide the name of the member
function where failure occurs.
- Fixed some typos, one of which caused segn. fault in some
situations (resetIdComponent was accidentally called twice
in a couple of places :)
Platforms:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Feasibility improvement
Description:
- Some member functions in class Exception can be called without
an Exception instance exits, but because they are not static, they
cannot.
- Many exception throwings don't provide any information to callers.
Solution:
- Add 'static' to several member functions in class Exception.
- Added <class name::function name> to some exceptions thrown
in H5File.cpp and H5FcreatProp.cpp. I'm trying this for users'
comments. More information may be added later and to all
exceptions.
- Changed the comment line for emacs editor to:
// C++ informative line for the emacs editor: -*- C++ -*-
because... I'd rather not say that the code "may look like C" :-)
Platforms tested:
Linux (gcc version egcs-2.91.66)
Fix and improve
Description:
- Put functions that are common to H5File and Group into a
prototype class, CommonFG. I didn't do that before because
of the fear of the consequences of multiple inheritance, since
H5File and Group already inherit from different super classes.
I recently read a C++ book and learned to use MI more safely.
This change reduced some more of code redundancy.
- Added missing const to some function parameters
- Added missing return statements for some functions.
Platforms tested:
Solaris/CC 5.0 (arabica)
Purpose:
Support portability
Description:
I forgot that source file extension .C will not work on Windows.
Solution:
Changed all source file from *.C to *.cpp for portability.
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
