CompType equivalent to H5Tset_size

Hdf-forum archives
1

Hi folks -
I've got a working prototype using the HDF5 C API, and am now looking at
using the C++ bindings. There are a few places in my code where I need to
use H5Tset_size. I'm currently resorting to calling it, and using
CompType::getId() for its first argument. Is there any other way of
accomplishing this?

Thanks for your attention.

Hi Josiah,

You can use setSize() in the C++ API, e.g. <yourtype_instance>.setSize(...)

Please let us know if you have any problem.

I get a compiler error when I try to use it - I've looked through the
source, and as far as I can see, H5::AtomType is the only subclass of
DataType that implements setSize().

Hi Josiah,

You've just found a bug in the C++ API. The issue will be filed and fixed in the next release. At this time, please use the approach that you originally used. I apologized for giving you incorrect information earlier.

Thanks for the quick response. I will continue using my workaround.

When compiling HDF5 1.8.11. I was able to use a generic x86_64 server that has the Cray Software stack installed (including Cray's version of MPI) to compile HDF5 without problems. When configuring HDF5 1.8.12 it tries to execute a test that was linked with mpich (which only installed for cross-compiling purposes) that isn't functional at run-time. I was able to get it to compile by adding the configure option "--host=cray" but the configure summery reports:
   Host system: j90-cray-unicos
It then compiles (and make check passes when running on machines that do support MPI runtime). The Cray J90 is almost 20 years old. Are they any negative ramifications to setting this host that I may not be noticing ? Thanks.

Hi,

I think you should specify MPI on command line or in ccmake interface
before configuring everything.

Cheers,
