Sorry, that probably came across as somewhat flipint. I was *assuming* that the whole HDF5 test suite can be easily run on various VFDs and/or with various FAPL/FCPL in a genral way so that it doesn’t require modifying each and every test client. That is what I do with Silo library ;)
But, I don’t know that to actually be the case and in all likelihood, it is probably not. So, that’d mean you have a lot of test clients to modify (and not all of them actually test format operations — for example the data conversion tests don’t). Note to The HDF Group: It would really be good to be able to run the entire HDF5 test suite using different FAPLs/FCPLs. It would make this kind of testing much simpler ;) Mark From: "Miller, Mark C." <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at 11:00 AM To: HDF Users Discussion List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [Hdf-forum] validating a vfl plugin I would think you’d want the entire HDF5 (parallel) test suite to run correctly on it, assuming that is the intended outcome and its practical to test.

I’ve modified the ph5example.c to work with my plugin and all the tests pass. Which other tests may be useful in validating such a plugin? Thanks.
