To allow + existing applications to continue to compile and run properly, all versions + of these functions have been retained in the later releases of the HDF5 library. + + Given the scope of changes available with each major release of HDF5, and + recognizing the potentially time-consuming task of editing all the affected + calls in user applications, The HDF Group has created a set of macros that + can be used to flexibly and easily map existing API calls to previous release + functions. We refer to these as the \Emph{API compatibility macros}. + + The HDF Group generally encourages users to update applications to work with + the latest HDF5 library release so that all new features and enhancements are + available to them. At the same time, The HDF Group understands that, under + some circumstances, updating applications may not be feasible or necessary. + The API compatibility macros, described in this document, provide a bridge + from old APIs to new and can be particularly helpful in situations such as these: + <ul> + <li>Source code is not available - only binaries are available; updating the + application is not feasible.</li> + <li>Source code is available, but there are no resources to update it.</li> + <li>Source code is available, as are resources to update it, but the old + version works quite well so updates are not a priority. At the same time, + it is desirable to take advantage of certain efficiencies in the newer HDF5 + release that do not require code changes.</li> + <li>Source code is available, as are resources to update it, but the applications + are large or complex, and must continue to run while the code updates are + carried out.</li> + </ul> + + \section using Understanding and Using the Macros + As part of latest HDF5 release, several functions that existed in previous + versions of the library were updated with new calling parameters and given + new names. The updated versions of the functions have a number (for, e.g., '2') + at the end of the original function name. The original versions of these + functions were retained and renamed to have an earlier number (for, e.g., '1') + at the end of the original function name. + + For example, consider the function \Code{H5Lvisit} in HDF5 release 1.10 + as compared with 1.12: + + <table> + <tr> + <th>Original function name and signature in 1.10.0</th> + <td colspan="1"> + \Code{herr_t H5Lvisit(hid_t grp_id, H5_index_t idx_type, H5_iter_order_t order, H5L_iterate_t op, void *op_data)} + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Updated function and signature, introduced in release 1.12.0</th> + <td colspan="1"> + \Code{herr_t H5Lvisit2(hid_t group_id, H5_index_t idx_type, H5_iter_order_t order, H5L_iterate2_t op, void *op_data)} + </td> + </tr> + <tr><th>Original function and signature, renamed in release 1.12.0</th> + <td colspan="1"> + \Code{herr_t H5Lvisit1(hid_t group_id, H5_index_t idx_type, H5_iter_order_t order, H5L_iterate1_t op, void *op_data)} + </td> + </tr> + <tr><th>API compatibility macro, introduced in release 1.12.0</th> + <td colspan="1"> + \Code{H5Lvisit} + <p>The macro, \Code{H5Lvisit}, will be mapped to either \Code{H5Lvisit1} or + \Code{H5Lvisit2}.

\subsubsection further Further Information + It is possible to specify multiple function mappings for a single application build: + \code{.sh} + h5cc ... -DH5Rdereference_vers=1 -DH5Fget_info_vers=2 ... + \endcode + As a result of the function and struct mappings in this compile example, all + occurrences of the macro \Code{H5Rdereference} will be mapped to \Code{H5Rdereference1} + and all occurrences of the macro \Code{H5Fget_info} will be mapped to \Code{H5Fget_info2} + for the application being built. + + The function and struct mappings can be used to guarantee that a given API compatibility + macro will be mapped to the desired underlying function or struct version regardless of + the library or application mappings. In cases where an application may benefit greatly + from features offered by some of the later APIs, or must continue to use some earlier + API versions for compatibility reasons, this fine-grained control may be very important. + + As noted earlier, the function mappings can only reference versioned functions that are + included in the HDF5 library, as determined by the configure flag used to build the + library. For example, if the HDF5 library being linked with the application was built + with the \Code{--disable-deprecated-symbols} option, version 1 of the underlying functions + would not be available, and the example above that defined \Code{H5Rdereference_vers=1} + would not be supported. + + The function mappings do not negate any available functions. If \Code{H5Rdereference1} + is available in the installed version of the HDF5 library, and the application was not + compiled with the \Code{-DH5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS} flag, the function \Code{H5Rdereference1} + will remain available to the application through its versioned name. Similarly, + \Code{H5Rdereference2} will remain available to the application as \Code{H5Rdereference2}. + The function mapping version flag \Code{H5Rdereference_vers} only controls the mapping of + the API compatibility macro \Code{H5Rdereference} to one of the two available functions. + + This can be especially useful in any case where the programmer does not have direct control + over global macro definitions, such as when writing code meant to be copied to multiple + applications or when writing code in a header file. + + \section macros Compatibility Macros in HDF5 1.6.8 and Later + A series of similar compatibility macros were introduced into the release 1.6 + series of the library, starting with release 1.6.8. These macros simply alias the + '1' version functions, callbacks, and typedefs listed above to their original + non-numbered names. + + These macros were strictly a forward-looking feature at that time; they were not + necessary for compatibility in 1.6.x. These macros were created at that time to + enable writing code that could be used with any version of the library after 1.6.8 + and any library compilation options except \Code{H5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS}, by always + using the '1' version of versioned functions and types. For example, \Code{H5Dopen1} + will always be interpreted in exactly the same manner by any version of the library + since 1.6.8. + + \section use-case Common Use Case + A common scenario where the API compatibility macros may be helpful is the migration + of an existing application to a new HDF5 release. An incremental migration plan is + outlined here: + <ol> + <li>Build the HDF5 library without specifying any library mapping \Code{configure} + flag. In this default mode, the 1.6.x, 1.8.x, and 1.10.x versions of the + underlying functions are available, and the API compatibility macros will + be mapped to the current HDF5 versioned functions.</li> + <li>Compile the application with the \Code{-DH5_USE_NN_API} application mapping + option if it was written for use with an earlier HDF5 library. Because the + application mapping overrides the library mapping, the macros will all be + mapped to the earlier versions of the functions.</li> + <li>Remap one API compatibility macro at a time (or sets of macros), to use the + current HDF5 versions. At each stage, use the function mappings to map the macros + being worked on to the current versions. For example, use the + \Code{-DH5Rdereference_vers=2} version flag setting to remap the \Code{H5Rdereference} + macro to \Code{H5Rdereference2}, the 1.10.x version. + + During this step, the application code will need to be modified to change the calling + parameters used with the API compatibility macros to match the number and type + of the 1.10.x versioned functions. The macro name, for example \Code{H5Rdereference}, + should continue to be used in the code, to allow for possible re-mappings to later + versioned functions in a future release.</li> + <li>After all macros have been migrated to the latest versioned functions in step 3, + compile the application without any application or function mappings. This build + uses the library mappings set in step 1, and maps API compatibility macros to the + latest versions.</li> + <li>Finally, compile the application with the application mapping + \Code{-DH5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS}, and address any failures to complete + the application migration process.</li> + </ol> + + */
