[gdal-dev] NetCDF+HDF5 and threadsafety

[William Kyngesburye]

I'm updating my HDF5 library and ran into a catch-22: I build my HDF5 with threadsafety (threadsafe is good, right?), and NetCDF4 requires HDF5 with the high-level library.  At HDF5 1.8.12 I could do this combination, but HDF5 1.8.16 (I think it started with 1.8.13) says threadsafe and high-level options are not compatible.

Is threadsafety in HDF5 important for GDAL?
