Description

inout/ provides HDF5 I/O but has no _test.v. Tests should be gated on HDF5 availability using a skip pattern (like VCL examples skip when no OpenCL device).

Task

Add inout/hdf5_test.v that:

  1. Creates a simple HDF5 file
  2. Writes and reads a dataset
  3. Skips cleanly when HDF5 is not available

Verification

  • v test vsl/inout skips or passes depending on HDF5 availability

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing skip patterns in other test files (e.g., VCL tests for OpenCL) and replicate the pattern for HDF5. Use `$if hdf5 ? { ... } $else { skip }` or similar conditional compilation to gate tests on HDF5 availability.
