This condition + should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file + or a file created by third-party software. + + Checking for zero before dividing fixes the problem. Instead of the + division by zero, the normal HDF5 error handling is invoked. + + (DER - 2018/02/26, HDFFV-10357) + Configuration ------------- - CMake |
