Changes in HDF5 breaking build

[skn123]

The current HDF5 trunk does not have some functions (like Attribute) in the C++ class. As a result the code is not building. We can revert back to older versions, but apparently those libraries are causing other projects to crash from a severe memory leak! Any thoughts?
Specifically this function is where the code starts failing to compile
template <typename T> void save_scalar_attribute (const H5::H5Location &h5obj, const std::string &name, const T &value) { const H5::DataType * const datatype = DatatypeSpecialization<T>::get(); H5::DataSpace dataspace(H5S_SCALAR); H5::Attribute att = h5obj.createAttribute(name, *datatype, dataspace); att.write(*datatype, &value); }
Apparently, createAttribute is not there in the H5Location

Is there a released version of HDF5 for which the code fails, or is it only trunk? If you don't need attributes I suppose the simple thing would be to remove those portions of the header file. I no longer use this library myself anymore so I don't expect I will fix it, but I'd be happy to merge a pull request that fixes things.

Thanks for the report. The latest main branch should fix this problem; feel free to re-open if not.
