Hi Andrei,

You are definitely driving HDF5 to its limits :-)

HDF5 has a limitation on the index value for the attributes (2 bytes); see 
attribute info 
message<http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/H5.format.html#AinfoMessage> in the 
HDF5 File Format Specification.

Nevertheless, I think it is a bug and we will need to address it. May be you’ve 
already noticed that the file becomes corrupted. I entered an issue into our 
JIRA DB HDFFV-9281.

All,

Is there a good reason to have more than 65533 attributes on an object? If so, 
we will need to change HDF5 files format.

Thank you!

Elena

To reproduce:

1) Compile attached minimal test.c

2) Run it. The following output is returned:

error!

Reproducible for HDF5 1.8.14 on Windows.

The problem is not reproducible if the following line is commented out (program 
finishes normally):

 H5Pset_attr_creation_order(cprops_id, H5P_CRT_ORDER_TRACKED | 
H5P_CRT_ORDER_INDEXED);

Ready to provide any additional info,
Andrey Paramonov
