Make it more simple: after alocating a NamedUserDataSlot (as you did
already), just attach your data using pfUserDataSlot(pfObject *obj, int
slot, void *data);

my_data = pfMalloc(sizeof(...), pfGetSharedArena());

Store your data in my_data...

pfUserDataSlot(pfObject *obj, my_data_slot, my_data);

Then simply save it.

Bye! Benedikt
