dataset_fill_value treated a shared Fill Value message as "no fill value", so unwritten storage of a dataset whose fill value lives in the file's shared-message (SOHM) heap read as zeros rather than its fill value. libhdf5 shares fill values whenever the file has a SOHM index for them. - fill_value::dataset_fill_value_in follows the reference (another object header, or the SOHM heap); read_full_with_fill and the facade's selection read use it. - dataset_fill_value, which has no file to follow a reference into, now returns UnresolvedSharedMessage for a shared message instead of None. - shared_message::load_sohm_table / message_data_with_sohm load the SOHM table from the superblock extension on demand. - parse_sohm_table skipped each index's leading version byte, reading every field one byte off; SOHM references could never resolve. Fixture shared_fill_value.h5 (HDF5 2.0, gen_shared_fill.py): sohm_b read [0,1,2,3,0,0,0,0] and now reads [0,1,2,3,-7,-7,-7,-7], as h5py does.

clawhdf5
Pure-Rust HDF5 reader/writer — no C dependencies.
Features
- Read and write HDF5 files entirely in Rust
- Memory-mapped I/O for large files (
mmapfeature, enabled by default) - Parallel chunk reads via Rayon (
parallelfeature) - 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();
