About a new Database reader plug-in

[nicedaxiong]

hello everyone,
I encountered some issues when creating a database read plugin.
I am using Visit 3.3.3 on Windows and can use it normally. Then I tried to create a database reading plugin.

When I create an XML file using xmledit and generate a code with cmake gui, refer to the "Creating a Database reader plug-in" manual, comment out "YOU MUST IMPLEMENT THIS" and add "return 0", I can generate some DLL files.

Then I put these DLL files in the database directory, and I can see my plugin name in the plugin manager. However, when I try to open a file, I encounter an [error.]

And it may even affect the reading of files that could have been used normally.
the error “VisIt was unable to open "D:\programs\VisIt\LLNL\VisIt3.3.3\data\curv2d.silo". Each attempt to open it caused VisIt's metadata server to crash. This can occur when the file is corrupted, or when the underlying file format has changed and VisIt's readers have not been updated yet, or when the reader VisIt is using for your file format is not robust. Please check whether the file is corrupted and, if not, contact a VisIt developer.”

I want to know how to solve this problem, thanks.

VisIt will not be able to read your QTM formatted files until your reader has all necessary code sections implemented (the ones designated with 'YOU MUST IMPLEMENT THIS').

As for the failure reading a Silo file, I would suggest moving the QTM dlls to a temporary location outside of the VisIt install dir and then relaunch VisIt and try reading a Silo file again.
