This PR will partially address the following:
I have implemented
trexio_[write|read|has]_external_[int32|int64|float32|float64]_array
family of functions in C and Python APIs. Fortran front end is not supported yet.Only
TREXIO_HDF5
back end is supported, attempt to useTREXIO_TEXT
should raiseTREXIO_NOT_SUPPORTED
error.The list of arguments is different from conventional TREXIO functions due to the absense of explicit dimensions and data types as in TREXIO format.
One important difference is that we have to provide
name
string to all aforementioned functions, which defines the name of the array in the TREXIO file. This argument is key to accessing the data correctly.
