HDFView 3.3.0 shows incorrect references in compound types in datasets

[rly]

I have an HDF5 file with a dataset with a compound dtype consisting of (int, int, object reference to a group). Displaying this data in HDFView is incorrect. All the object references are to the same first group.

Here is a zip file with an example single 182 KB .h5 file test_tsref.h5.zip (GitHub does not allow uploading files with h5 extensions, so I zipped it. Happy to share it elsewhere if that is preferred)

The dataset is at /acquisition/test_dynamic_table/test_timeseries_reference_vector_data

The two rows should have different object references: /acquisition/test_timeseries1 and /acquisition/test_timeseries2.

references in compound container types has had many issues, this looks like it may be another. I will debug and locate the problem to see if there it is an issue in the object library or in the JNI interface of hdf5.

This turned out to be real simple, just needed to use the supplied index in the arraycopy for object refs.

Fixed in 3.3.1 release
