https://support.hdfgroup.org/ 上有一个示例，解释了如何处理 HDF5 C++ API 1.10.1 的复合数据类型（不仅是复杂的）：
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/cpplus_RM/compound_8cpp-example.html
需要为 complex 定义复合类型：
typedef struct complex_type{
double r;
double i;
} complex_type;
H5::CompType complex_compound( sizeof(complex_type) );
complex_compound.insertMember("r", HOFFSET(complex_type, r), H5::PredType::NATIVE_DOUBLE);
complex_compound.insertMember("i", HOFFSET(complex_type, i), H5::PredType::NATIVE_DOUBLE);
这是完整的代码：
