H2 I would like to use checkpointing for a thorn which has complex grid
arrays. I tried to use the IOFlexIO thorn and received the error: Unsupported CCTK variable datatype 10. Is there a way to checkpoint complex variables? Yes there is: use IOHDF5 instead of IOFlexIO. The FlexIO library doesn't support a native complex datatype, and we decided not to add extra logic complex numbers in IOFlexIO. HDF5 does not have this limitation, it natively supports all Cactus datatypes. git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/flesh/trunk@3143 17b73243-c579-4c4c-a9d2-2d5706c11dac
