This + will allow using those functions without building the high-level + library. The parameters and functionality of the H5D calls are + identical to the H5DO calls. + + The original H5DO high-level API calls have been retained, though + they are now just wrappers for the H5D calls. They are marked as + deprecated and are only available when the library is built with + deprecated functions. New code should use the H5D calls for this + reason. + + As a part of this work, the following symbols from H5Dpublic.h are no + longer used: + + H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_WRITE_FLAG_NAME + H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_WRITE_FILTERS_NAME + H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_WRITE_OFFSET_NAME + H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_WRITE_DATASIZE_NAME + H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_READ_FLAG_NAME + H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_READ_OFFSET_NAME + H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_READ_FILTERS_NAME + + And properties with these names are no longer stored in the dataset + transfer property lists. The symbols are still defined in H5Dpublic.h, + but only when the library is built with deprecated symbols. + + (DER - 2018/05/04) + Configuration: ------------- - Added configuration checks for the following MPI functions: |
