need help

preeti · November 19, 2013, 11:37am

I am new to using HDF5 data.
I have just tried to open and close a hdf5 file using the following code-

···

--------------------------------------------------
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<cstdlib>

using namespace std;

#include"H5File.h"
#include"H5Exception.h"

const H5std_string
FILE_NAME("/usr1/Preeti/HDFdata/3DSND_13NOV2013_0000_L1B_SA1.h5")

int main(){
        H5File file(FILE_NAME,H5F_ACC_RDONLY);
        file.close();
        return 0;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but on compiling it gives me following error

[X@Y ~/H5exercise]$ g++ -o readh5 readh5.cpp
In file included from readh5.cpp:7:
/usr/local/include/H5File.h:24: error: expected initializer before ‘:’ token
readh5.cpp:16: error: expected ‘}’ at end of input

Kindly help me

Looks to me like you need a ';' after FILE_NAME's declaration.

Thanks a lot for your reply but I am getting the same error on using following code also:

#include<string>
#include<cstdlib>

using namespace std;

#include"H5File.h"
#include"H5Exception.h"

int main(){
        //H5File file(FILE_NAME,H5F_ACC_RDONLY);
        //file.close();
        return 0;
}

Is that a bug in H5File.h itself....?

Hi Josiah,

Please try removing

#include"H5File.h"
#include"H5Exception.h"

and including this instead:

#include "H5Cpp.h"

Thanks,

Binh-Minh

My general approach to HDF5 header file is to only include the top level hdf5.h

#include <hdf5.h>

and leave it to the HDF5 developer to order the required headers within hdf5.h

The other thing is that I only specify name space **after** #include for clarity.

Hope that helps in some ways.

Cheers
