.. highlight:: c Issue with the complex numbers ============================================================================ There is no standard representation of the complex numbers `std::complex` in hdf5. The classes therefore represent them as arrays of `T` with one more dimension, and adding a tag *_complex_* to the array for identification when rereading. * This is compatible with the ALPS 2.0 storage. * This is **not** compatible with the regular h5py storage for complex. The conversion is made by HDFArchive class automatically.
