On running cmake with cmake $IDEFIX_DIR -DIdefix_HDF5=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-DXDMF_DOUBLE", the following compilation error is generated:
idefix/src/output/xdmf.cpp:168:18: error: incompatible pointer types assigning to 'double *' from 'float *'
this->vect3D = new float[nx1loc*nx2loc*nx3loc];

This is because it works well for the default option float but when the dumping datatype is changed to double, the code complains as the right hand side of this expression is still float which must be changed to double. Therefore, to make this dump datatype agnostic, one needs to change float on the right hand side of this expression to DUMP_DATATYPE macro.
