API Compatibility Report between 1.12.2 and 1.14.0

 

Downloads

Applications that were created with earlier HDF5 releases may not compile with 1.14 by default.

The API Compatibility Macros in HDF5 allow users to work around this issue. Users can specify a compatibility macro mapping for the version of HDF5 that an application was built with. For example, a 1.10 (or 1.12) application can be built with 1.14 using either an application or library mapping as follows:

  • To compile an application built with a version of HDF5 that includes deprecated symbols (the default), make sure to pass -DH5_USE_110_API (or -DH5_USE_112_API)to the compiler. For example (C), you can specify h5cc -DH5_USE_110_API (or -DH5_USE_112_API) when using autotools) and cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-DH5_USE_110_API" (or -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-DH5_USE_110_API") when using CMake.
  • To build an HDF5 library with the 1.10 (or 1.12.) APIs you must set DEFAULT_API_VERSION to v110 (or v112) when configuring. For example, with autotools specify --with-default-api-version=v110 (or --with-default-api-version=v112) and with CMake set -DDEFAULT_API_VERSION:STRING=v110 (or -DDEFAULT_API_VERSION:STRING=v112) in the HDF5options.cmake file when using the CMake source release (CMake-hdf5-1.14.0).

However, users will not be able to take advantage of some of the new features in 1.14 if using these compatibility mappings.

Doxygen Generated Reference Manual

The new HDF5 C-API documentation based on Doxygen is available at

 https://docs.hdfgroup.org/hdf5/v1_14

Included are all core library functions documented in the current documentation.

This documentation is WORK-IN-PROGRESS. That’s why all existing documentation will remain accessible for the foreseeable future.

Since this portion of the HDF5 documentation is now part of the source code, it gets the same treatment as code. In other words, issues, inaccuracies, corrections should be reported as issues in GitHub (https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues), and pull requests will be reviewed and accepted as any other code changes.

 

Tested Platforms and Configuration Features

NOTE:  Parallel HDF5-1.14 requires MPI 3.

See the Platforms Tested section in the Release Notes for details.
