H5Pset_type_conv_cb(
hid_t plist,
H5T_conv_except_func_t func,
void *op_data)
H5Pset_type_conv_cb sets the user-defined
datatype conversion callback function func in
the dataset transfer property list plist.
The parameter op_data is a pointer to user-defined
input data for the callback function and will be passed through
to the callback function.
The callback function func defines the actions an
application is to take when there is an exception during datatype
conversion. The function prototype is as follows:
typedef
H5T_conv_ret_t (H5T_conv_except_func_t) (
H5T_conv_except_t except_type,
hid_t src_id,
hid_t dst_id,
void *src_buf,
void *dst_buf,
void *op_data)
where
except_type indicates what kind of exception has happened,
src_id and dst_id are the source and destination
datatype identifiers, src_buf and dst_buf
are the source and destination data buffer, and
op_data is the required input data for this callback
function.
Valid values for except_type are as follows:
H5T_CONV_EXCEPT_RANGE_HIH5T_CONV_EXCEPT_RANGE_LOWH5T_CONV_EXCEPT_TRUNCATEH5T_CONV_EXCEPT_PRECISIONH5T_CONV_EXCEPT_PINFH5T_CONV_EXCEPT_NINFH5T_CONV_EXCEPT_NANValid callback function return values are H5T_CONV_ABORT,
H5T_CONV_UNHANDLED and H5T_CONV_HANDLED.
If a C routine that takes a function pointer as an argument is called from within C++ code, the C routine should be returned from normally.
Examples of this kind of routine include callbacks such as
H5Pset_elink_cb and H5Pset_type_conv_cb
and functions such as H5Tconvert and
H5Ewalk2.
Exiting the routine in its normal fashion allows the HDF5 C Library to clean up its work properly. In other words, if the C++ application jumps out of the routine back to the C++ “catch” statement, the library is not given the opportunity to close any temporary data structures that were set up when the routine was called. The C++ application should save some state as the routine is started so that any problem that occurs might be diagnosed.
