- in the C library. It is a base class to H5::H5File and H5::H5Ojbect,

- now inherent those functions. As a result, an H5::H5File object can have

Configuration
-------------
- - Modified H5detect.c to scan floating point types for padding bits before
- analyzing the type further. This should fix problems with gcc 4.8

- - Added const qualifier to source buffer parameters in H5Dgather and
