Specifying how to manage memory for the VL datatype:
The memory management method is determined by dataset transfer properties
passed into the H5Dread/H5Dwrite with the dataset transfer property list. There
are currently two different memory managers defined:
H5T_VLEN_STDC_MEM_MANAGE - The standard C malloc/free pair is used to
allocate and free VL sequences. This is the default method.
H5T_VLEN_USER_MEM_MANAGE - Calls to user provided memory management
routines are generated during I/O and memory reclamation.
These different methods can be chosen with the H5Pset_vlen_mem_manage_type()
passed into the H5Dread/H5Dwrite with the dataset transfer property list.
Either the system <code>malloc</code> and <code>free</code> calls or
user-defined substitutes can be used via the H5Pset_vlen_mem_manage_type()
call, as follows:
herr_t H5Pset_vlen_mem_manage_type(hid_t plist_id, H5T_vlen_mem_t type)
When user defined memory management is chosen, allocation and free routines
When user-defined memory management is chosen, allocation and free routines
must also be provided with the H5Pset_vlen_mem_manage_routines() API call, as
follows:
herr_t H5Pset_vlen_mem_manager(hid_t plist_id,
