Greetings all,
A colleague and I are getting an error when trying to write a string, which is
fully formed xml snippet, as an attribute in a hdf5 file.
Checks we have done:
1 - manually write the string and with .compare, this manual string matches
exactly the string we have read from an xml buffer.
1a - the manual string can be written to an attribute
1b - the original string raises an error when we write
2 - we have used .copy to make a new copy of the string from the xml buffer
2a - this copy also fails to write with the same error
3 - we removed all new-line characters from the string - this did not help
4 - we tried the .substr method to chop the string to small pieces, this also
did not help (all pieces failed to write)
5 - we tried the first 5 characters of the string, which do not have any
special characters - still fails
The fact that 1a succeeds means we are probably missing something simple.
The error is
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.16) MPI-process 1:
#000: H5A.c line 334 in H5Acreate_by_name(): no attribute name
major: Invalid arguments to routine
minor: Bad value
I am hoping someone here has had and fixed the same problem, as we are very
stuck.
Thanks,
Andre
