Quoting Corey Bettenhausen <[email protected]>:
Howdy,
When fetching a string attribute using h5ltget_attribute_string_f(),
the string returned seems to be a C string i.e null terminated, even
when using the Fortran interface. Thus, one could set an attribute
of length 10 and immediately read it and get an 11-character string
(to accommodate the null character). Do ya'll consider this a bug?
Any chance at nipping off that null character before returning?
Yes, the NULL termination should be removed before returning the
string (the Fortran string will be blank padded if needed). *I think*
all the other HL fortran APIs which return a string remove the null
termination (the Fortran HL DS APIs definitely do).
Thanks for pointing this out.
