Ian, Would it be possible for your team to provide us with a simple example to reproduce the problem? This will help us to decide on the patch.

Previously (1.8.14), this attribute was undefined when C++ was used, but this only affected HDF5 source files, because the undefinition was in H5private.h. This was presumably fine, because the HDF5 source code could handle it. In 1.8.15, however, this code has moved into H5api_adpt.h, which is included by *users* of the HDF5 library. This means that __attribute__ is broken in any source file that included it. This attribute is important, because it controls things like vectorisation. The error we get is listed below. The relevant commit seems to be SVN revision 26678 (https://github.com/live-clones/hdf5/commit/b283f087e32fb99023650240ef8290a3f46319c5). I think it is important that this is fixed, possibly in a patch release, since it stops code from compiling.
