/*
 * These macros are for the bodies of functions that convert buffers of one
 * atomic type to another using hardware.
 *
 * They all start with `H5T_CONV_' and end with two letters that represent the
 * source and destination types, respectively. The letters `s' and `S' refer to
 * signed integers while the letters `u' and `U' refer to unsigned integers, and
 * the letters `f' and `F' refer to floating-point values.
 *
 * The letter which is capitalized indicates that the corresponding type
 * (source or destination) is at least as large as the other type.
 *
 * Certain conversions may experience overflow conditions which arise when the
 * source value has a magnitude that cannot be represented by the destination
 * type.
 *
 * Suffix	Description
 * ------	-----------
 * sS:		Signed integers to signed integers where the destination is
 *		at least as wide as the source.	 This case cannot generate
 *		overflows.
 *
 * sU:		Signed integers to unsigned integers where the destination is
 *		at least as wide as the source.	 This case experiences
 *		overflows when the source value is negative.
 *
 * uS:		Unsigned integers to signed integers where the destination is
 *		at least as wide as the source.	 This case can experience
 *		overflows when the source and destination are the same size.
 *
 * uU:		Unsigned integers to unsigned integers where the destination
 *		is at least as wide as the source.  Overflows are not
 *		possible in this case.
 *
 * Ss:		Signed integers to signed integers where the source is at
 *		least as large as the destination.  Overflows can occur when
 *		the destination is narrower than the source.
 *
 * Su:		Signed integers to unsigned integers where the source is at
 *		least as large as the destination.  Overflows occur when the
 *		source value is negative and can also occur if the
 *		destination is narrower than the source.
 *
 * Us:		Unsigned integers to signed integers where the source is at
 *		least as large as the destination.  Overflows can occur for
 *		all sizes.
 *
 * Uu:		Unsigned integers to unsigned integers where the source is at
 *		least as large as the destination. Overflows can occur if the
 *		destination is narrower than the source.
 *
 * su:		Conversion from signed integers to unsigned integers where
 *		the source and destination are the same size. Overflow occurs
 *		when the source value is negative.
 *
 * us:		Conversion from unsigned integers to signed integers where
 *		the source and destination are the same size.  Overflow
 *		occurs when the source magnitude is too large for the
 *		destination.
 *
 * fF:		Floating-point values to floating-point values where the
 *              destination is at least as wide as the source.	 This case
 *              cannot generate overflows.
 *
 * Ff:		Floating-point values to floating-point values the source is at
 *		least as large as the destination.  Overflows can occur when
 *		the destination is narrower than the source.
 *
 * xF:          Integers to float-point(float or double) values where the desination
 *              is at least as wide as the source.  This case cannot generate
 *              overflows.
 *
 * Fx:          Float-point(float or double) values to integer where the source is
 *              at least as wide as the destination.  Overflow can occur
 *              when the source magnitude is too large for the destination.
 *
 * The macros take a subset of these arguments in the order listed here:
 *
 * CDATA:	A pointer to the H5T_cdata_t structure that was passed to the
 *		conversion function.
 *
 * STYPE:	The hid_t value for the source datatype.
 *
 * DTYPE:	The hid_t value for the destination datatype.
 *
 * BUF:		A pointer to the conversion buffer.
 *
 * NELMTS:	The number of values to be converted.
 *
 * ST:		The C name for source datatype (e.g., int)
 *
 * DT:		The C name for the destination datatype (e.g., signed char)
 *
 * D_MIN:	The minimum possible destination value.	 For unsigned
 *		destination types this should be zero.	For signed
 *		destination types it's a negative value with a magnitude that
 *		is usually one greater than D_MAX.  Source values which are
 *		smaller than D_MIN generate overflows.
 *
 * D_MAX:	The maximum possible destination value. Source values which
 *		are larger than D_MAX generate overflows.
 *
 * The macros are implemented with a generic programming technique, similar
 * to templates in C++.  The macro which defines the "core" part of the
 * conversion (which actually moves the data from the source to the destination)
 * is invoked inside the H5T_CONV "template" macro by "gluing" it together,
 * which allows the core conversion macro to be invoked as necessary.
 *
 * "Core" macros come in two flavors: one which calls the exception handling
 * routine and one which doesn't (the "_NOEX" variant).  The presence of the
 * exception handling routine is detected before the loop over the values and
 * the appropriate core routine loop is executed.
 *
 * The generic "core" macros are: (others are specific to particular conversion)
 *
 * Suffix	Description
 * ------	-----------
 * xX:		Generic Conversion where the destination is at least as
 *              wide as the source.  This case cannot generate overflows.
 *
 * Xx:		Generic signed conversion where the source is at least as large
 *              as the destination.  Overflows can occur when the destination is
 *              narrower than the source.
 *
 * Ux:		Generic conversion for the `Us', `Uu' & `us' cases
 *		Overflow occurs when the source magnitude is too large for the
 *		destination.

 * Modifications:
 *		Robb Matzke, 1999-06-16
 *              Added support for non-zero strides. If BUF_STRIDE is
 *              non-zero then convert one value at each memory location
 *              advancing BUF_STRIDE bytes each time; otherwise assume both
 *              source and destination values are packed.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1999-06-16
 *		If the source and destination data structs are the same size
 *		then we can convert on a field-by-field basis instead of an
 *		element by element basis. In other words, for all struct
 *		elements being converted by this function call, first convert
 *		all of the field1's, then all field2's, etc. This can
 *		drastically reduce the number of calls to H5T_convert() and
 *		thereby eliminate most of the conversion constant overhead.
 *
 *              Robb Matzke, 2000-05-17
 *              Added the BKG_STRIDE argument to fix a design bug. If
 *              BUF_STRIDE and BKG_STRIDE are both non-zero then each
 *              data element converted will be placed temporarily at a
 *              multiple of BKG_STRIDE in the BKG buffer; otherwise the
 *              BKG buffer is assumed to be a packed array of destination
 *              datatype.
 *
 *              Raymond Lu, 3 May 2007
 *              Optimize a special case when the source and destination members
 *              are a subset of each other, and the order is the same, and no
 *              conversion is needed.  For example:
 *                  struct source {            struct destination {
 *                      TYPE1 A;      -->          TYPE1 A;
 *                      TYPE2 B;      -->          TYPE2 B;
 *                      TYPE3 C;      -->          TYPE3 C;
 *                  };                             TYPE4 D;
 *                                                 TYPE5 E;
 *                                             };
 *              The optimization is simply moving data to the appropriate

 *                4. Allocate buffer in dst heap
 *		  5. Free heap objects storing old data
 *                6. Write dst VL data into dst heap
 *                7. Store (heap ID or pointer) and length in main dst buffer

 *		Enabled support for non-zero strides. If BUF_STRIDE is non-zero
 *		then convert one value at each memory location advancing
 *		BUF_STRIDE bytes each time; otherwise assume both source and
 *		destination values are packed.
 *
 *		Raymond Lu, 26 June, 2002
 *		Background buffer is used for freeing heap objects storing
 * 		old data.  At this moment, it only frees the first level of
 *		VL datatype.  It doesn't handle nested VL datatypes.
 *
 *              Raymond Lu, 8 November 2011
 *              I put a condition check to prevent the conversion of VL strings

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5T__conv_f_f
 *
 * Purpose:	Convert one floating point type to another.  This is a catch
 *		all for floating point conversions and is probably not
 *		particularly fast!
 *
 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 *
 * Programmer:	Robb Matzke
 *		Tuesday, June 23, 1998
 *
 * Modifications:
 *		Robb Matzke, 7 Jul 1998
 *		Added overflow handling.
 *
 *		Robb Matzke, 1999-06-16
 *		Added support for non-zero strides. If BUF_STRIDE is non-zero
 *		then convert one value at each memory location advancing
 *		BUF_STRIDE bytes each time; otherwise assume both source and
 *		destination values are packed.
 *
 *              Robb Matzke, 2001-02-02
 *              Oops, forgot to increment the exponent when rounding the
 *              significand resulted in a carry. Thanks to Guillaume Colin
 *              de Verdiere for finding this one!
 *
 *              Raymond Lu, 2006-03-13
 *              Added support for VAX floating-point types.

 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 *
 * Programmer:	Robb Matzke
 *		Friday, August	7, 1998
 *
 * Modifications:
 *		Robb Matzke, 1999-06-16
 *		Added support for non-zero strides. If BUF_STRIDE is non-zero
 *		then convert one value at each memory location advancing
 *		BUF_STRIDE bytes each time; otherwise assume both source and
 *		destination values are packed.
 *
 *              Raymond Lu, 8 November 2011

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5T__conv_f_i
 *
 * Purpose:	Convert one floating-point type to an integer.  This is
 *              the catch-all function for float-integer conversions and
 *              is probably not particularly fast.
 *
 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 *
 * Programmer:	Raymond Lu
 *		Wednesday, Jan 21, 2004

 * Modifications:
 *
 *              Raymond Lu
 *              Wednesday, April 21, 2004
 *              There is a new design for exception handling like overflow,
 *              which is passed in as a transfer property.
 *
 *              Raymond Lu
 *              Monday, March 13, 2006
 *              Added support for VAX floating-point types.
