To support this feature, + the following new options have been added to CMake: + + * HDF5_TEST_API: ON/OFF (Default: OFF) + + Controls whether the HDF5 API tests will be built. These tests + will only be run during testing of HDF5 if the HDF5_TEST_SERIAL + (for serial tests) and HDF5_TEST_PARALLEL (for parallel tests) + options are enabled. + + * HDF5_TEST_API_INSTALL: ON/OFF (Default: OFF) + + Controls whether the HDF5 API test executables will be installed + on the system alongside the HDF5 library. This option is currently + not functional. + + * HDF5_TEST_API_ENABLE_ASYNC: ON/OFF (Default: OFF) + + Controls whether the HDF5 Async API tests will be built. These + tests will only be run if the VOL connector used supports Async + operations. + + * HDF5_TEST_API_ENABLE_DRIVER: ON/OFF (Default: OFF) + + Controls whether to build the HDF5 API test driver program. This + test driver program is useful for VOL connectors that use a + client/server model where the server needs to be up and running + before the VOL connector can function. This option is currently + not functional. + + * HDF5_TEST_API_SERVER: String (Default: "") + + Used to specify a path to the server executable that the test + driver program should execute. + - Added support for CMake presets file. CMake supports two main files, CMakePresets.json and CMakeUserPresets.json, |
