+      h5diff seg faulted if comparing VL strings against fixed strigs.
+
+      Reworked solution for HDFFV-8625 and 8639. Implemented the check
+      for string objects of same type in the diff_can_type function by
+      adding an if(tclass1 == H5T_STRING) block. This if block moves the
+      same check that was added for attributes to this function, which is
+      used by all object types. This function also handles complex type
+      structures.
+      Also added a new test file in h5diffgenttest for testing this issue
+      and removed the temporary files used in the test scripts.
