Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
It's hard to work with the `offset` array in `H5Dchunk_iter` callback because we don't know the size of the array. It would be too expensive to call `H5Sget_simple_extent_ndims` each time.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I propose that we should pass `ndims` to the callback. I.e.
`typedef int (*H5D_chunk_iter_op_t)(const hsize_t *offset, unsigned ndims, unsigned filter_mask, haddr_t addr, hsize_t size,
void *op_data);`
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Call `H5Sget_simple_extent_ndims` in the callback.
**Additional context**
I'm working on implementing Java binding for `H5Dchunk_iter`. I don't see there's an easy workaround. I can upload my patch if needed.
