Hi,
I'm trying to wrap the H5Dset_extent call, and I have a question. In
the current docs, one can read:
"""
This function can be applied to the following datasets:
* Any dataset with unlimited dimensions
* A dataset with fixed dimensions if the new dimension sizes are
less than the maximum sizes set with maxdims (see H5Screate_simple)
"""
(http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5D.html#Dataset-SetExtent),
However, when I try to set a size larger than maximum against a dataset
with fixed dimensions, the H5Dset_extent call succeeds and effectively
*enlarges* the dimension (contrarily to what documentation is saying).
Anybody can tell me whether this is an error in the docs or in the
function itself? I'm using HDF5 1.8.1 for my tests.
Thanks,
···

this should not happen, it is not allowed to set a size larger than the initially set maximum in a dataset with fixed dimensions
the docs are correct
can you send us a sample program ?

I see. Unfortunately, I don't have time right now to provide the
sample, but I'll put this in my TODO list.
Thanks,

I've tried to reproduce the problem with the sample program, but I
can't :-/ With the attached program, I get:
$ ./h5_set_extent
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.1) thread 0:
#000: H5D.c line 1007 in H5Dset_extent(): unable to set extend dataset
major: Dataset
minor: Unable to initialize object
#001: H5Dint.c line 2472 in H5D_set_extent(): unable to modify size of
data space
major: Dataset
minor: Unable to initialize object
#002: H5S.c line 1791 in H5S_set_extent(): dimension cannot be
modified
major: Invalid arguments to routine
minor: Bad value
in both 1.6.5 and 1.8.1, so obviously I made some mistake in my earlier
tests.
Sorry for the noise,
h5_set_extent.c (968 Bytes)
