Using the C++ API, I'm writing datasets in a group to an HDF5 file. When
I read the file I've written, I look at each of the objects in the group,
and compare the reported type of the dataset with one of the datatypes
defined in
H5::PredType. For example:
H5::Group group = H5File->openGroup(GroupName);
for(unsigned int I = 0; I < group.getNumObjs(); i++)
{
H5std_string name = group.getObjnameByIdx(I);
std::string path = GroupName;
path += "/";
path += name;
H5::DataSet curDS = H5File->openDataSet(path);
H5::DataType curType = curDS.getDataType();
if(curType == H5::PredType::NATIVE_HBOOL)
{
// handle bool
}
else if(curType == H5::PredType::NATIVE_CHAR)
{
// handle char
}
}
The problem is the char DataSet I wrote reports a type that's equal to
H5::PredType::NATIVE_HBOOL.
When I trace into the library, it appears they both have an underlying
INTEGER type, and are judged by H5Tequal to be the same, which seems wrong.
