Hi Elena, thanks, that’s a relief.
Cheers, Andy From: Hdf-forum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Elena Pourmal Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 4:54 PM To: HDF Users Discussion List Subject: Re: [Hdf-forum] Filed order in compound type Hi Andrei, We need to check our UG ;-) I think your assumption is correct. We even have a test (see test/cmpd_dset.c) that writes fields in one order and then reads them into a data structure that has a reversed order of the members (structures s1_t and s3_t for reference).

For some reason I had an impression that compound types can match their fields by the filed name and the order of the fields (and the number) does not really matter. I re-read the User's Guide and there it explicitely states (In Data Transfer section): The name and order of the fields must be the same in the source and the destination but the source and destination may have different alignments of the fields, and only some of the fields might be transferred. It seems that my assumption is not correct. What should happen now when source and destination types have the same fields but ordered differently? Do we get any error or does it silently skip fileds?
