These mappings + can be used to control the mapping of the API compatibility macros to + underlying functions on a function-by-function basis. The function mappings + override the library and application mappings discussed earlier. + + If the HDF5 library was configured with the \Code{--disable-deprecated-symbols} + flag, or \Code{-DH5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS} is used to compile the application, + then the deprecated functions will not be available, regardless of the function + mapping options. + + For every function with multiple available versions, a compile-time version flag + can be defined to selectively map the function macro to the desired versioned + function. The function mapping consists of the function name followed by + "\Code{_vers}" which is mapped by number to a specific function or + struct: + <table> + <tr> + <th>Macro</th> + <th>Function Mapping</th> + <th>Mapped to function or struct</th> + </tr> + <tr><td>\Code{H5xxx}</td> + <td>\Code{H5xxx_vers=1}</td> + <td>\Code{H5xxx1}</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td> </td> + <td>\Code{H5xxx_vers=2}</td> + <td>\Code{H5xxx2}</td> + </tr> + </table> + + For example, in version 1.10 the \Code{H5Rreference} macro can be mapped to + either \Code{H5Rreference1} or \Code{H5Rreference2}.

If compiling an application with a function mapping that uses + a mapped structure, you must include each function and mapped structure + plus EVERY function that uses the mapped structure, whether or not that + function is used in the application. \Emph{In 1.12, mappings of structures + are used by the H5L and H5O function mappings.}\n\n + For example, an application only calls \Code{H5Lvisit}, \Code{H5Ovisit}, + and \Code{H5Oget_info_by_name}.
