Hello, I’m also getting these warnings when compiling the C++ shared library as well as any program or example that uses hdf5_cpp.dll. This is using Visual Studio 2015 (Professional) and HDF5-1.8.17. I’ve also tried v1.8.18 and had the same issue with Visual Studio 2013 and 2015.
h5exception.h(93): warning C4251: 'H5::Exception::detail_message': class 'std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'H5::Exception' h5exception.h(94): warning C4251: 'H5::Exception::func_name': class 'std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'H5::Exception' I’d prefer to use the shared libraries in Windows since that’s what we’re using in Linux, but that’s not an option if these warnings can’t be resolved. We’ve enabled the option to treat warnings as errors in our Visual Studio project, so we would have to disable this particular warning if there’s no other way to fix them.

H5File file(FILE_NAME, H5F_ACC_TRUNC); // Create the data space for the dataset. hsize_t dims[2]; // dataset dimensions dims[0] = NX; dims[1] = NY; DataSpace dataspace(RANK, dims); // Create the dataset. DataSet dataset = file.createDataSet(DATASET_NAME, PredType::STD_I32BE, dataspace); } // end of try block // catch failure caused by the H5File operations catch(FileIException error) { error.printError(); return -1; } // catch failure caused by the DataSet operations catch(DataSetIException error) { error.printError(); return -1; } // catch failure caused by the DataSpace operations catch(DataSpaceIException error) { error.printError(); return -1; } return 0; // successfully terminated } and got four unresolved symbols: LNK2001 unresolved external symbol "public: static class H5::DSetCreatPropList const & const H5::DSetCreatPropList::DEFAULT" (?DEFAULT@DSetCreatPropList@H5@@2AEBV12@EB) After adding #define H5_BUILT_AS_DYNAMIC_LIB the errors removed, but two compiler warnings still exist: C4251 'H5::Exception::detail_message': class 'std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'H5::Exception'. How do I get rid of these warnings? Best regards Dennis
