osobhandClaude Opus 5.5 bba1560416 fix(format): lay Fixed/Extensible Array chunk indexes out by max dims
Both indexes place each chunk at a linear index computed from the
dataset's maximum dimensions (libhdf5's max_down_chunks), and the
Extensible Array first swizzles its unlimited dimension to the slowest
position. We linearised by the current dimensions, so any dataset whose
shape was smaller than its maxshape, or whose unlimited dimension was not
the first, read back scrambled without an error: h5py libver="latest"
files with maxshape (10, None) or (20, 10), and the libhdf5 test files
h5fc_ext*.h5 and test_ld.h5.

The linearisation now lives in chunk_grid (shared with the writers), and
slots beyond the current extent are ignored as the library does.
read_fixed_array_chunks / read_extensible_array_chunks take the
dataspace's max dimensions.

clawhdf5-format

crates.io docs.rs

Pure-Rust HDF5 binary format parsing and writing — no C dependencies.

Features

  • Zero-copy superblock, object header, and B-tree parsing
  • Chunked dataset read/write with filter pipelines
  • no_std support (disable std feature)
  • Optional parallel reads via Rayon
  • SHA-256 provenance tracking

Usage

use clawhdf5_format::Superblock;

let data = std::fs::read("data.h5").unwrap();
let sb = Superblock::from_bytes(&data).unwrap();
println!("HDF5 version {}.{}", sb.version_major(), sb.version_minor());
