There's something I just don't understand here. Suppose, on machine A, that I have an array of C struct data, of type "struct s1", and using HOFFSET, I create a compound type. Then I write a bunch of data. Then, on machine B, which packs its structs differently, I open the file, and read the data into an array of the same "struct s1". Will my data be messed up because of the different padding on machine B? I can see that, using the HOFFSET macro, you adjust the compound type to the actual struct when the file is created, because of the H5Tcompound_insert calls. But readers don't give you any information about the C struct they are reading into. How do you know the padding isn't different? Thanks! Ed -- Ed Hartnett -- ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
