Hi,
you just need a different HDF5 type for the memory (the struct including
your pointer) and for the layout on disk (struct with same member names
and compatible data types, but omitting the pointer member). Then HDF5
will just do this conversion and write only those disk-struct members,
reading data from the memory-struct, except your pointer which is not
used for disk output then.

Hello,
I have an array of structs that I need to write to a dataset. One of the
members of the struct is a pointer to an array of floats. Right now I am
creating a compound datatype and treating the pointer as an unsigned int,
and this works, but the pointer information is obviously useless data.
Is
there a way to write this array, but skip the pointer memeber?
Here is what I am currently doing:
Thanks!
