Storing dataset region reference in a variable length datatype

Hdf-forum archives

All,

Has anyone tried storing dataset region references in variable length
datatype i.e. doing this H5Tvlen_create(H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG) ? How will
using a lot of such datatypes effect the performance w.r.t read and
write ?

Regards

  Yes, this will work fine. It will have some performance issues, probably, since there's going to be a lot of accesses required to store this combination of datatypes.
