For the top case, I don't get the reported error, instead I get `ERROR: cannot write a pointer to JLD file`. This turns out to be because backtraces now return...
If this file was saved using older versions of Julia, you likely need to [translate the type](https://github.com/JuliaIO/JLD.jl/blob/master/doc/jld.md#rescuing-old-types).
It would be fine to support it as long as it can be done unambiguously (for example, in a way that "just works" if you import them in another programming...
Oh, gotcha. I'm definitely fine with adding `mmap`able support to JLD, and to HDF5 if there's some agreed-upon standard for how `Float16` should be written. I should clarify that I...
Nice! To automate this, you could use `readas` and `writeas`, see https://github.com/JuliaIO/JLD.jl/blob/master/doc/jld.md#custom-serialization.
Do you need to use plain HDF5, or can you use JLD? It's been ages since I've read the libhdf5 docs, but my vague memory suggests that libhdf5 might offer...
Sounds fine to me. Presumably since IO is a bottleneck we could afford to do a certain amount of analysis: for strings that are not a leaf type, determine if...
Agreed this would be a good feature to add. Unfortunately I'm pretty swamped for some time yet, so if you need this soon you might consider whether you are up...
To my knowledge this hasn't been tried, but the goal is to get to the point where we can read any HDF5 file. From where the error is occurring, this...
Give it a shot! But if memory serves those macros are pretty horrifying. Easiest is to use the functional forms of `load` and `save`.
