H5Eget_auto is H5E_GET_AUTO is a macro that is mapped to either H5E_GET_AUTO1 or H5E_GET_AUTO2, depending on the needs of the application.
Such macros are provided to facilitate application compatibility. Their use and mappings are fully described in “API Compatibility Macros in HDF5”; we urge you to read that document closely. When both the HDF5 Library library and the application are built and installed with no specific compatibility flags, H5Eget_auto is H5E_GET_AUTO is mapped to the most recent version of the function, currently H5E_GET_AUTO2. If the library and/or application is compiled for Release 1.6 emulation, H5E H5E_GET_AUTO will AUTO will be mapped to H5E_GET_AUTO1. Function-specific flags are available to override these settings on a function-by-function basis when the application is compiled. Specific compile-time compatibility flags and the resulting mappings are as follows: | Compatibility setting | H5Eget_auto mapping |
|---|
Global settings | | No compatibility flag | H5Eget_auto2 | | Enable deprecated symbols | H5Eget_auto2 | | Disable deprecated symbols | H5Eget_auto2 | Emulate Release 1.6 interface | H5Eget_auto1 |
Function-level macros | H5Eget_auto_vers = 2 | H5Eget_auto2 | H5Eget_auto_vers = 1 | H5Eget_auto1 |
