This causes two problems: + + - Opening an HDF5 file through an external link using H5Gopen, + H5Dopen, etc. with H5P_DEFAULT for the Dataset/Group/etc. + Access Property List will cause the external file to be opened + with the library's default file locking settings rather than + inheriting them from the parent file. This can be surprising + when a file is opened with file locking disabled, but its + external files are opened with file locking enabled. + + - An application cannot make use of the H5Pset_elink_fapl + function to match file locking settings between an external + file and its parent file without knowing the correct setting + ahead of time, as calling H5Fget_access_plist on the parent + file will not return the correct settings. + + This has been fixed by copying a file's file locking settings + into the newly-created File Access Property List in H5F_get_access_plist. + + This fix partially addresses GitHub issue #4011 + - Memory usage growth issue Starting with the HDF5 1.12.1 release, an issue (GitHub issue #1256) |
