Hi All,
I've just discovered the problem with type conversion between C++ native
"long double" and H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE.
On Windows x86_64 machine (Cygwin + GCC) it seems that long double has
128 bits, while H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE is treated as "64-bit floating point"
(as described in HDFView). That means the value stored in HDF file may
be silently truncated to 64 bits...
In C++ on such machine long double macro LDBL_MAX value is properly
reported as 1.18973e+4932, but in HDF file (HDFView) it is already
"Infinity".
Is it a limitation in the HDF library?
Is there any workaround for that issue?
Best regards,
Rafal
