SWIG typemaps follow different error convention than libhdf5 #12

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
HDF functions return values >=0 to indicate that the function has completed
without error. The SWIG typemaps return values =0 to indicate an error
condition.

Typemaps should be adjusted to return values <0 e.g. when
GetIntArrayElements returns null.

This should not normally be an issue, but it does need to be addressed for
proper error handling in unusual conditions.
