Hi All,

I am using H5Pset_obj_track_times to turn off setting ctime in output
files.  This is great, it makes it easy to detect changes in output
using a simple file hash!

I noticed that H5Pget_obj_track_times() gives me the expected value in
a newly created dataset (false if set to false by
H5Pset_obj_track_times(), true if unset or set to true by
H5Pset_obj_track_times()).  However, the flag does not seem to be
recoverable after file close / re-open.  If I close the file, re-open,
get the dataset creation property list with H5Dget_create_plist(),
then call H5Pget_obj_track_times() again, it always gives me "true".
Is this expected?

IIUC, this does not matter much in HDF as currently implemented
because only ctime is ever set, so it doesn't matter if the dataset
remembers that it is not supposed to track times (because the only
time fields are modified is at creation anyway).  Am I thinking about
this right?

Happy to provide a MWE if helpful.

Thanks!

Alex
