Hello,

My 2cents, this is probably a poor man’s approach but Xcos offers vec2var / 
var2vec functions that encode in a double vector any Scilab datatypes passed as 
arguments. The encoding duplicates the data in memory so there might be some 
overhead.
Er, I tried var2vec, but it does not work with structures:
--> typeof(t)
 ans  =
 st

--> var2vec(t)
var2vec: Wrong type for input argument #1: Double, Integer, Boolean, String or List type.

Arghh... so var2vec does not work for any datatype right?

On my machine, I have these timings using the attached script (Antoine’s one 
edited):
save list of syslins: 1.361704
save list of vec[]: 0.056788
save var2vec(list of syslins): 0.014411

Discarding hdf5 groups creation is a huge performance win but remove any way to 
create clean hdf5 (eg. to address subgroups directly).

Thanks,

Couldn't you create your own atom package that restore this raw memory dump for 
scilab 6.0?
I understand why we moved away from this model, but it seems to be key for you.
There is always a trade-off between portability (and robustness) and raw 
speed...

Yeah, if that was possible, I would certainly do it. We already have a bunch of 
C/C++ binaries that we compile and link dynamically, but for that to be easy to 
implement, I guess the lists and structures need to be stored linearly in one 
consecutive chunk of memory. I don’t know if that is the case. Anyone? C++ 
integrations and gateways are very poorly documented at the moment.
Otherwise, I would need to do some recursive implementation, that handles a 
bunch of different object types. Sounds painful.

Cheers,
Arvid
