I already asked about saving databases with pfUserData in the .pfb format
without reply but I have a more specific question now.
It seems that saving a database in the .pfb format (using pfconv) will also
save pfUserData attached to nodes. However I suspect that if the pfUserData
containts *pointers* to other data that is not saved. e.g. if my pfUserData
structure looks like
typedef struct {
pfNode *centerNode; /* pointer to some node */
pfList *observers; /* pointer to list of "observer" structures */
} MyUserData;
and is attached to a node, the pointers are saved but 1) are invalid when read
in (centerNode above) or 2) the data pointed to is not saved (observers list
above).
Is this true? Is there any way to save this kind of data in the .pfb format?
Regards, Simon
