Mike,
You can use HDF5 compound datatype. It is portable across architectures. Please
see C example h5ex_t_cpxcmpd.c at
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/examples/examples-by-api/api18-c.html under
the Datatypes section how to use it. User's Guide also has a section on
compound datatypes (under the Datatypes link).
