Has anyone had any luck with this?  I've hit a similar problem with reading a .mat file that loads fine in HDFView.  I've tested with both 3.8.0 and 3.6.4 on Mac OS X 10.9.2.  It wasn't clear if the diff

I replaced H5Giterate and on that occasion all functions deprecated in HDF API v1.8, but am not finished testing and cannot continue in the next few weeks. Sharing my progress in the attached diff on Andy's request (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-octave/2014-06/msg00155.html ).

Some notes:

  • The HDF API may, depending on how it is compiled, support both v16 and v18 (see http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/APICompatMacros.html ). Octave's configure should use v18 over v16 whenever possible, even when it is not the API default (which I think it didn't, not sure if my change worked yet)
  • Building should work against all compatibility levels of the hdf API (hdf configured with --with-default-api-version=[v18|v16] or with --disable-deprecated-symbols), needs testing. I had problems building against hdf libraries from a specific folder instead of the system-wide installed hdf version, there was/might still be an issue with octave's --with-hdf5-libdir=... and/or --with-hdf5-includedir=...
  • struct fields were sorted alphabetically after loading from hdf, because api v16 did not support tracking of creation order in the hdf file. It should work now with v18, but forward/backward (and matlab?) compatibility needs more testing (write with v16, read with v18, and vice versa).
  • my code may still contain some debug output commands

This shouldn't be that difficult to fix if someone has a little time.  The old API for the H5Giterate function is here (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/H5G/H5Giterate.htm).  The replacement function is here (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5L.html#Link-Iterate).  They function prototypes aren't quite the same so someone will have to do a little reading to see how to replace the function.  The function only appears a few times in the code.  Below is a grep in the source tree.


./corefcn/ls-hdf5.cc:237:// This function is designed to be passed to H5Giterate, which calls it
./corefcn/ls-hdf5.cc:243:// It returns 1 on success (in which case H5Giterate stops and returns),
./corefcn/ls-hdf5.cc:244:// -1 on error, and 0 to tell H5Giterate to continue on to the next item
./corefcn/ls-hdf5.cc:592:  herr_t H5Giterate_retval = -1;
./corefcn/ls-hdf5.cc:603:    H5Giterate_retval = H5Giterate (hs.file_id, "/", &hs.current_item,
./corefcn/ls-hdf5.cc:606:  if (H5Giterate_retval > 0)
./corefcn/ls-hdf5.cc:614:      // an error occurred (H5Giterate_retval < 0) or there are no
./octave-value/ov-fcn-handle.cc:1154:                  if (H5Giterate (group_hid, "symbol table", &current_item,
./octave-value/ov-struct.cc:1038:         && (retval2 = H5Giterate (loc_id, name, &current_item,
./octave-value/ov-struct.cc:1671:         && (retval2 = H5Giterate (loc_id, name, &current_item,
./octave-value/ov-cell.cc:1237:        retval2 = H5Giterate (loc_id, name, &current_item,
./octave-value/ov-class.cc:1768:         && (retval2 = H5Giterate (group_hid, name, &current_item,

I tried to attach the .h5 file, but it caused a "no group chosen" error.  It's 9.4 MB.  I uploaded it to http://www.wikiupload.com/504WB3C4URTEYRU

I'm trying to use octave to read a .h5 file using
load finalProg.h5
The file was built with another application using hdf5 1.8.4, but octave fails to read it because H5Giterate is deprecated as of hdf5 1.8

I emailed the HDF Group and they said to use H5Literate instead.

I get the following error message when I try to read the file:
