- CMake option to link the generated Fortran MOD files into the include
directory.
- The Fortran generation of MOD files by a Fortran compile can produce
- different binary files between SHARED and STATIC compiles with different
- compilers and/or different platforms. Note that it has been found that
- different versions of Fortran compilers will produce incompatible MOD
- files. Currently, CMake will locate these MOD files in subfolders of
- the include directory and add that path to the Fortran library target
- in the CMake config file, which can be used by the CMake find library
- process. For other build systems using the binary from a CMake install,
- a new CMake configuration can be used to copy the pre-chosen version
- of the Fortran MOD files into the install include directory.
-
- The default will depend on the configuration of
- BUILD_STATIC_LIBS and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:
- YES YES Default to SHARED
- YES NO Default to STATIC
- NO YES Default to SHARED
- NO NO Default to SHARED
- The defaults can be overridden by setting the config option
- HDF5_INSTALL_MOD_FORTRAN to one of NO, SHARED, or STATIC

- Refactored public exposure of haddr_t type in favor of "object tokens"
- To better accommodate HDF5 VOL connectors where "object addresses in a file"
- may not make much sense, the following changes were made to the library:
-
- * Introduced new H5O_token_t "object token" type, which represents a
- unique and permanent identifier for referencing an HDF5 object within
- a container; these "object tokens" are meant to replace object addresses.
- Along with the new type, a new H5Oopen_by_token API call was introduced
- to open an object by a token, similar to how object addresses were
- previously used with H5Oopen_by_addr.
-
- * Introduced new H5Lget_info2, H5Lget_info_by_idx2, H5Literate2, H5Literate_by_name2,
- H5Lvisit2 and H5Lvisit_by_name2 API calls, along with their associated H5L_info2_t
- struct and H5L_iterate2_t callback function, which work with the newly-introduced
- object tokens, instead of object addresses. The original functions have been
- renamed to version 1 functions and are deprecated in favor of the new version 2
- functions. The H5L_info_t and H5L_iterate_t types have been renamed to version 1
- types and are now deprecated in favor of their version 2 counterparts. For each of
- the functions and types, compatibility macros take place of the original symbols.
-
- * Introduced new H5Oget_info3, H5Oget_info_by_name3, H5Oget_info_by_idx3,
- H5Ovisit3 and H5Ovisit_by_name3 API calls, along with their associated H5O_info2_t
- struct and H5O_iterate2_t callback function, which work with the newly-introduced

- types have been renamed to version 1 types and are now deprecated in favor of their
- version 2 counterparts. For each, compatibility macros take place of the original

- * Introduced new H5Oget_native_info, H5Oget_native_info_by_name and
- H5Oget_native_info_by_idx API calls, along with their associated H5O_native_info_t
- struct, which are used to retrieve the native HDF5 file format-specific information
- about an object. This information (such as object header info and B-tree/heap info)
- has been removed from the new H5O_info2_t struct so that the more generic
- H5Oget_info(_by_name/_by_idx)3 routines will not try to retrieve it for non-native
- VOL connectors.
-
- * Added new H5Otoken_cmp, H5Otoken_to_str and H5Otoken_from_str routines to compare
- two object tokens, convert an object token into a nicely-readable string format and
- to convert an object token string back into a real object token, respectively.
