[Hdf-forum] setting the default error handler to exit

[Mark Howison]

Hi Quincey,

Can I do something as simple as this?

herr_t
hdf5_exit_on_error (void *unused)
{
    H5Eprint(stderr);
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

Will that still print the normal HDF5 error stack and then exit right after?

Thanks
Mark
