Hi all,
Thanks for your suggestions. I'm still missing something, though. Using
the h5group.cpp example, I can get my code to create a chunked dataset, but
I can't write anything to it.
std::string dataset_name = function_that_returns_name();
std::string dataset_value = function_that_returns_value();
// Is the size the size of the buffer, or the length of the
string? (should I include the null-terminator?)
hsize_t dataset_length = dataset_value.length() + 1;
StrType datatype(0, dataset_length);
hsize_t sdims[1];
sdims[0] = dataset_length;
DataSpace dataspace(1, sdims);
DSetCreatPropList plist;
hsize_t chunk_dims[1];
chunk_dims[0] = 24;
plist.setChunk(1, chunk_dims);
DataSet sim_details = group.createDataSet(dataset_name,
datatype, dataspace, plist);
// This raises a bad pointer exception.
sim_details.write(dataset_value, datatype);
