> Hello!
>
> A colleague of mine noticed that our ‘hdf5’ library wasn’t
> thread-safe.  Turns out there’s an option to make it thread-safe (oh!),
> it’s turned off by default (oh?!), and when you pass it ‘configure’
> invites you to turn off no less than C++, Fortran, and the high-level
> interface (d’oh!).
>
> It also tells you that, if you insist, you can go ahead and pass
> ‘--enable-unsupported’, but you’re on your own.
>
> We found that Debian chose to pass ‘--enable-unsupported’, and indeed
> that seems to be saner than providing a variant that does very little,
> but does it in a thread-safe way.
>
> Thoughts?

> Thanks,
