Implement H5T_ARRAY for arrays as sub-elements

Discussion

Martijn Jasperse - 2013-06-13

Probably actually needs to be H5T_VLEN to prevent sub-arrays being required to have the same dimensions

Definitely nontrivial because of recursive alignment issues. Converter function needs to know correct layout of final array without all the information.

Hi Martijn, I've just stumbled into this problem/feature request (I'm trying to write a compound dataset from an array inside a cluster): do you have any plan to implement it?

Hi Carlo, Some progress has been made in implementing this, but it is not at the point of being stable due to complexities within LabVIEW's internal memory manager. H5T_VLEN is not a recommended structure though, and it may be more useful/portable to write that cluster as a group.

Thanks Martijn! I will go with your your suggestion, thanks.
