I've run into an issue that puzzles me and I was hoping for some kind of
explanation. I have a need to have multiple HDF files open for writing
simultaneously and have tried to use committed data types in these files
in the hopes of making them easier to share. The H5Tcommit2 function
will fail if I try and commit the same data type to a second file. Is
this because internally, the library makes some sort of association of
that hid_t with something specific to the file and is only designed to
do one at a time? Seems kind of a pain to for me to have to create a
dozen copies of the same data type definitions (as that is roughly how
many files we'll have open).
Another thing I've noticed with committed data types is that even when I
use them and create datasets based on the committed types, the data sets
still show the entire structure of the compound data types when I use
h5dump on them. Am I doing something wrong, or is h5dump just being
verbose?
