Merge pull request #1051 in HDFFV/hdf5 from ~BMRIBLER/hdf5_1_8_bmr:hdf5_1_8 to hdf5_1_8 Improvement regarding to Exception hierarchy and throwException. * commit '5e4bc6df758b1dffad3583391e51e3c71bb91501': C++ API improvement Description: - Reorganized some exception classes to reflect the HDF5 object hierarchy and provide extendibility. DataSetIException -> LocationException -> Exception DataTypeIException -> LocationException -> Exception GroupIException -> LocationException -> Exception AttributeIException -> LocationException -> Exception FileIException -> GroupIException -> LocationException -> Exception - Added throwException() to these subclasses and use it in H5Location and H5Object member functions to throw an exception that is specific to the object that invokes the member function. Applications that catch the base exception can continue to do the same. - Many cleanup for inconsistencies in comments/headers. Platforms tested: Linux/64 (jelly) Linux/64 (platypus) Darwin (osx1010test)
