BP5 on Windows

Updated: we need simple BP5 write and definitely read support on Windows, too.

Is it possible that BP5 support in ADIOS 2.8.0 is not (yet) available on Windows?

And if it's not, can you recommend a public ADIOS2 define/macro to check BP5 support at compile-time? Or a public ADIOS2 API that we can check at runtime?

Thanks a lot, Axel

#ifdef ADIOS2_HAVE_BP5 should do the trick, as defined inside $INSTALL_PREFIX/include/adios2/common/ADIOSConfig.h.

As discussed with @pnorbert: we need simple BP5 write and definitely read support on Windows, too. There seems to be an issue with compilation of FFS on Windows.

This needs FFS built on windows

I think that this is resolved since we build BP5 by default (we cannot disable it) adios2 in Windows in our CI and.
