Dear HDF-Forum I have a file, which causes an immediate crash of the HDF-viewer (no error message, tested with newest versions on Windows and Mac OS X).
I have to assume the file is corrupt. It was written with our Software (Imaris) which uses regular calls from the official HDF-library (v1.8.6). Loading the file with our Software causes a crash. In order to figure out, what was last written into the file, I opened the file in the HDF-viewer, but there it also crashes (Windows and Mac OS X). In the debugger on Windows it crashes inside "H5Gopen", but I don't understand, what happens there in detail. Try catch(...) doesn't catch - it must be a severe memory violation. Obviously something went wrong when the file was written. Unfortunately I can't tell, what exactly was done there - it was a customer using our software, and "save" was successful. I'd like to do two things: - Try to understand from the file content, what went wrong when the file was written. HDF View would be helpful, if it would show the non-corrupted parts of the file (instead of crashing). - Show a more graceful message to the user, when he tries to open such a file in our Software. Ideally "H5Gopen" would return some error code, or at least do something catchable. Is there a common place for the HDF-forum to upload my file? The zipped file size is 1.3 GB. Please help!
