Hi,

I'm familiarizing myself with the HDF5 C++ interface. I'm having trouble 
understanding why H5Location::getObjType() takes a void* reference to an object 
when I would expect it to refer to "this". Same holds for get/setComment(), 
etc. Seems they should be static methods if we're passing in the object 
pointer. What am I missing?

Also, when I specify a name (char*) to a method like H5Location::reference(), 
is it understood that it is a relative path from the current group (i.e., 
"this", assuming it is a group)? What if the name starts with '/'?

I want to stay entirely in C++.

Oscar
