Hi David,

I was able to reproduce this and  entered bug HDFFV-9680 for this issue.
H5Aread worked but H5Awrite failed.  Both work if using H5Aopen_by_name(id, 
“.”, ….).

Thanks!

Subject: [Hdf-forum] H5Aopen_by_name bug

I'm having a problem using H5Aopen_by_name with a group name. I'm using HDF5 
1.8.16.

Doesn't work:
    auto aid = H5::H5Aopen_by_name(file_id, "g1", "a1", H5::H5P_DEFAULT, 
H5::H5P_DEFAULT);
    int v = 6;
    auto r = H5::H5Awrite(aid, type_id, &v);  // returns -1
Works:
    auto group_id = H5::H5Gopen(file_id, "g1", H5::H5P_DEFAULT);
    auto aid = H5::H5Aopen_by_name(group_id, ".", "a1", H5::H5P_DEFAULT, 
H5::H5P_DEFAULT);
    int v = 6;
    auto r = H5::H5Awrite(aid, type_id, &v); // returns 0
