of the va_list, so it's at least possible for another connector to know what
the operation is and decide whether to implement it or not.
Added a new VOL sub-class called "introspect" where callbacks that report
information about the connector or container can be placed. Added an
'opt_query' callback to this sub-class, for a connector to report back
to the library whether a particular optional callback operation is supported.
Also added a 'get_conn_cls' introspection callback, to retrieve the H5VL_class_t
of a connector (either the "current" connector, H5VL_GET_CONN_LVL_CURR, or
the terminal connector, H5VL_GET_CONN_LVL_TERM).
Moved the "post open" operation from a file 'specific' operation to a file
'optional' operation, now that it's possible to detect (with the 'opt_query'
introspection callback) whether a VOL connector implements an optional
operation, without just returning an error.
Added new internal VOL helper routines: H5VL_object_is_native, to determine
if an object is in (or is a) native file, and H5VL_file_is_same, to determine
if two objects are in (or are) the same terminal VOL connector's container.
(And moved the special handling for FILE_IS_EQUAL operation out of internal VOL
callback routine into H5VL_file_is_same)
Made new dataset 'get' operation for H5Dvlen_get_buf_size, aligning it better
with other 'get' operations in API.
Fixed several issues with pass-through connectors, which are now passing the
'make check-passthrough-vol' tests again.
A bunch of warning and style cleanups as well.
including the merge of `hdffv/hdf5/develop`, back to the branch that Vailin and
I share.
Now I need to put this branch on a fork with a less confusing name than
vchoi_fork!
