Hello!
I'm using HDF5 library by loading it dynamically into my application. I also use custom virtual file driver.
Because the library is loaded and unloaded dynamically, there is no single entry point in my program where I could register my VFD once. Instead, I register the VFD right before I open the file. However, I need to check that the VFD has not been registered yet (otherwise, I would deplete VFD slots quickly).
It seemed that H5Isearch(H5I_VFL, ...) would be helpful, but I bumped into the following assertion in H5I.c:
if(H5I_IS_LIB_TYPE(type))
HGOTO_ERROR(H5E_ATOM, H5E_BADGROUP, FAIL, "cannot call public function on library type")
I think such assertion inside H5Isearch and H5Inmembers are too restrictive. Those functions are read-only and can't possibly break internal library structures.
Can the assertion be removed from H5Isearch and H5Inmembers, to make them work on H5I_VFL and other built-in types?
Best wishes,
Andrey Paramonov
