Hi,
I am trying to use hdf5 for logging data in a robotics framework.
In this framework we use structures like these :
struct LaserScan
{
Time time;
double start_angle;
double angular_resolution;
double speed;
std::vector<uint32_t> ranges;
}
struct LaserSweep
{
std::vector<LaserScan> scanns;
}
For the basic data types and structures not containing std::vectors
everything is working so far. My problem are the std::vectors and
how to fit them in the hdf5 type model.
For now my best idea is to use a variable length data type with the correct
nested type. The problem now is that in this case AFAIK hdf5 expects a
size_t and a pointer to the data inside the struct. As I may not modify the
given structure this is a problem for me. Copying the data to a temporary
structure is also not possible/difficult for different reasons.
A way to deal with this would be to write the type in chunks, which would
be possible but might be very complex because of the nested containers.
Is there a better way of handling this ?
Greetings
Janosch
