Name: H5Tarray_create
Signatures:

[1]
hid_t H5Tarray_create( hid_t base_typ_id, unsigned rank, const hsize_t dims[/*rank*/], ) [2]

Purpose:
Creates an array datatype object.

Description:
H5Tarray_create is a macro that is mapped to either H5Tarray_create1 or H5Tarray_create2, depending on the needs of the application.

Such macros are provided to facilitate application compatibility. For example:

Macro use and mappings are fully described in “API Compatibility Macros in HDF5”; we urge you to read that document closely.

When both the HDF5 Library and the application are built and installed with no specific compatibility flags, H5Tarray_create is mapped to the most recent version of the function, currently H5Tarray_create2. If the library and/or application is compiled for Release 1.6 emulation, H5Tarray_create will be mapped to H5Tarray_create1. Function-specific flags are available to override these settings on a function-by-function basis when the application is compiled.

Specific compile-time compatibility flags and the resulting mappings are as follows:

Compatibility setting H5Tarray_create mapping

Global settings
No compatibility flag H5Tarray_create2 
Enable deprecated symbols H5Tarray_create2 
Disable deprecated symbols H5Tarray_create2 
Emulate Release 1.6 interface H5Tarray_create1 

Function-level macros
H5Tarray_create_vers = 2     H5Tarray_create2
H5Tarray_create_vers = 1 H5Tarray_create1

Interface history:   Signature [1] above is the original H5Tarray_create interface and the only interface available prior to HDF5 Release 1.8.0. This signature and the corresponding function are now deprecated but will remain directly callable as H5Tarray_create1.

Signature [2] above was introduced with HDF5 Release 1.8.0 and is the recommended and default interface. It is directly callable as H5Tarray_create2.

See “API Compatibility Macros in HDF5” for circumstances under which either of these functions might not be available in an installed instance of the HDF5 Library.
