osobhandClaude Opus 5.5 a59d83d47d test: compare header and datatype damage with what h5py refuses
h5py writes a dataset (libver earliest, so version-1 object headers) and
the script damages one field of a copy: a layout message flagged
shareable, a message size that is not a multiple of 8, a compound field
that repeats an earlier name or overlaps it, an empty enum member name, a
float exponent overlapping the mantissa. h5py refuses every damaged copy,
and clawhdf5 must refuse exactly those and read the valid files. All of
them but the unaligned one (then an UnexpectedEof) read before this
branch. The helper now reads any datatype
(File::read_multi) rather than only integers.

clawhdf5

crates.io docs.rs

Pure-Rust HDF5 reader/writer — no C dependencies.

Features

  • Read and write HDF5 files entirely in Rust
  • Memory-mapped I/O for large files (mmap feature, enabled by default)
  • Parallel chunk reads via Rayon (parallel feature)
  • Lazy dataset access for minimal memory usage
  • h5py-compatible file output

Usage

use clawhdf5::File;

let file = File::open("data.h5").unwrap();
let dataset = file.dataset("/group/data").unwrap();
let values: Vec<f64> = dataset.read_1d().unwrap();
