Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1.

These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1. There is still one known failure that has not been solved. All the failures revolve around some variant of this .cdl file.

The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1.

Add filter support to NCZarr Filter support has three goals: 1. Use the existing HDF5 filter implementations, 2. Allow filter metadata to be stored in the NumCodecs metadata format used by Zarr, 3. Allow filters to be used even when HDF5 is disabled Detailed usage directions are define in docs/filters.md. For now, the existing filter API is left in place. So filters are defined using ''nc_def_var_filter'' using the HDF5 style where the id and parameters are unsigned integers. This is a big change since filters affect many parts of the code. In the following, the terms "compressor" and "filter" and "codec" are generally used synonomously. ### Filter-Related Changes: * In order to support dynamic loading of shared filter libraries, a new library was added in the libncpoco directory; it helps to isolate dynamic loading across multiple platforms. * Provide a json parsing library for use by plugins; this is created by merging libdispatch/ncjson.c with include/ncjson.h. * Add a new _Codecs attribute to allow clients to see what codecs are being used; let ncdump -s print it out. * Provide special headers to help support compilation of HDF5 filters when HDF5 is not enabled: netcdf_filter_hdf5_build.h and netcdf_filter_build.h. * Add a number of new test to test the new nczarr filters. * Let ncgen parse _Codecs attribute, although it is ignored. ### Plugin directory changes: * Add support for the Blosc compressor; this is essential because it is the most common compressor used in Zarr datasets. This also necessitated adding a CMake FindBlosc.cmake file * Add NCZarr support for the big-four filters provided by HDF5: shuffle, fletcher32, deflate (zlib), and szip * Add a Codec defaulter (see docs/filters.md) for the big four filters. * Make plugins work with windows by properly adding __declspec declaration. ### Misc. Non-Filter Changes * Replace most uses of USE_NETCDF4 (deprecated) with USE_HDF5. * Improve support for caching * More fixes for path conversion code * Fix misc. memory leaks * Add new utility -- ncdump/ncpathcvt -- that does more or less the same thing as cygpath. * Add a number of new test to test the non-filter fixes. * Update the parsers * Convert most instances of '#ifdef _MSC_VER' to '#ifdef _WIN32'

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type.

At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1. There is still one known failure that has not been solved. All the failures revolve around some variant of this .cdl file.

Add filter support to NCZarr Filter support has three goals: 1. Use the existing HDF5 filter implementations, 2. Allow filter metadata to be stored in the NumCodecs metadata format used by Zarr, 3. Allow filters to be used even when HDF5 is disabled Detailed usage directions are define in docs/filters.md. For now, the existing filter API is left in place. So filters are defined using ''nc_def_var_filter'' using the HDF5 style where the id and parameters are unsigned integers. This is a big change since filters affect many parts of the code. In the following, the terms "compressor" and "filter" and "codec" are generally used synonomously. ### Filter-Related Changes: * In order to support dynamic loading of shared filter libraries, a new library was added in the libncpoco directory; it helps to isolate dynamic loading across multiple platforms. * Provide a json parsing library for use by plugins; this is created by merging libdispatch/ncjson.c with include/ncjson.h. * Add a new _Codecs attribute to allow clients to see what codecs are being used; let ncdump -s print it out. * Provide special headers to help support compilation of HDF5 filters when HDF5 is not enabled: netcdf_filter_hdf5_build.h and netcdf_filter_build.h. * Add a number of new test to test the new nczarr filters. * Let ncgen parse _Codecs attribute, although it is ignored. ### Plugin directory changes: * Add support for the Blosc compressor; this is essential because it is the most common compressor used in Zarr datasets. This also necessitated adding a CMake FindBlosc.cmake file * Add NCZarr support for the big-four filters provided by HDF5: shuffle, fletcher32, deflate (zlib), and szip * Add a Codec defaulter (see docs/filters.md) for the big four filters. * Make plugins work with windows by properly adding __declspec declaration. ### Misc. Non-Filter Changes * Replace most uses of USE_NETCDF4 (deprecated) with USE_HDF5. * Improve support for caching * More fixes for path conversion code * Fix misc. memory leaks * Add new utility -- ncdump/ncpathcvt -- that does more or less the same thing as cygpath. * Add a number of new test to test the non-filter fixes. * Update the parsers * Convert most instances of '#ifdef _MSC_VER' to '#ifdef _WIN32'

The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code.

Add filter support to NCZarr Filter support has three goals: 1. Use the existing HDF5 filter implementations, 2. Allow filter metadata to be stored in the NumCodecs metadata format used by Zarr, 3. Allow filters to be used even when HDF5 is disabled Detailed usage directions are define in docs/filters.md. For now, the existing filter API is left in place. So filters are defined using ''nc_def_var_filter'' using the HDF5 style where the id and parameters are unsigned integers. This is a big change since filters affect many parts of the code. In the following, the terms "compressor" and "filter" and "codec" are generally used synonomously. ### Filter-Related Changes: * In order to support dynamic loading of shared filter libraries, a new library was added in the libncpoco directory; it helps to isolate dynamic loading across multiple platforms. * Provide a json parsing library for use by plugins; this is created by merging libdispatch/ncjson.c with include/ncjson.h. * Add a new _Codecs attribute to allow clients to see what codecs are being used; let ncdump -s print it out. * Provide special headers to help support compilation of HDF5 filters when HDF5 is not enabled: netcdf_filter_hdf5_build.h and netcdf_filter_build.h. * Add a number of new test to test the new nczarr filters. * Let ncgen parse _Codecs attribute, although it is ignored. ### Plugin directory changes: * Add support for the Blosc compressor; this is essential because it is the most common compressor used in Zarr datasets. This also necessitated adding a CMake FindBlosc.cmake file * Add NCZarr support for the big-four filters provided by HDF5: shuffle, fletcher32, deflate (zlib), and szip * Add a Codec defaulter (see docs/filters.md) for the big four filters. * Make plugins work with windows by properly adding __declspec declaration. ### Misc. Non-Filter Changes * Replace most uses of USE_NETCDF4 (deprecated) with USE_HDF5. * Improve support for caching * More fixes for path conversion code * Fix misc. memory leaks * Add new utility -- ncdump/ncpathcvt -- that does more or less the same thing as cygpath. * Add a number of new test to test the non-filter fixes. * Update the parsers * Convert most instances of '#ifdef _MSC_VER' to '#ifdef _WIN32'

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user.

Add filter support to NCZarr Filter support has three goals: 1. Use the existing HDF5 filter implementations, 2. Allow filter metadata to be stored in the NumCodecs metadata format used by Zarr, 3. Allow filters to be used even when HDF5 is disabled Detailed usage directions are define in docs/filters.md. For now, the existing filter API is left in place. So filters are defined using ''nc_def_var_filter'' using the HDF5 style where the id and parameters are unsigned integers. This is a big change since filters affect many parts of the code. In the following, the terms "compressor" and "filter" and "codec" are generally used synonomously. ### Filter-Related Changes: * In order to support dynamic loading of shared filter libraries, a new library was added in the libncpoco directory; it helps to isolate dynamic loading across multiple platforms. * Provide a json parsing library for use by plugins; this is created by merging libdispatch/ncjson.c with include/ncjson.h. * Add a new _Codecs attribute to allow clients to see what codecs are being used; let ncdump -s print it out. * Provide special headers to help support compilation of HDF5 filters when HDF5 is not enabled: netcdf_filter_hdf5_build.h and netcdf_filter_build.h. * Add a number of new test to test the new nczarr filters. * Let ncgen parse _Codecs attribute, although it is ignored. ### Plugin directory changes: * Add support for the Blosc compressor; this is essential because it is the most common compressor used in Zarr datasets. This also necessitated adding a CMake FindBlosc.cmake file * Add NCZarr support for the big-four filters provided by HDF5: shuffle, fletcher32, deflate (zlib), and szip * Add a Codec defaulter (see docs/filters.md) for the big four filters. * Make plugins work with windows by properly adding __declspec declaration. ### Misc. Non-Filter Changes * Replace most uses of USE_NETCDF4 (deprecated) with USE_HDF5. * Improve support for caching * More fixes for path conversion code * Fix misc. memory leaks * Add new utility -- ncdump/ncpathcvt -- that does more or less the same thing as cygpath. * Add a number of new test to test the non-filter fixes. * Update the parsers * Convert most instances of '#ifdef _MSC_VER' to '#ifdef _WIN32'

Add filter support to NCZarr Filter support has three goals: 1. Use the existing HDF5 filter implementations, 2. Allow filter metadata to be stored in the NumCodecs metadata format used by Zarr, 3. Allow filters to be used even when HDF5 is disabled Detailed usage directions are define in docs/filters.md. For now, the existing filter API is left in place. So filters are defined using ''nc_def_var_filter'' using the HDF5 style where the id and parameters are unsigned integers. This is a big change since filters affect many parts of the code. In the following, the terms "compressor" and "filter" and "codec" are generally used synonomously. ### Filter-Related Changes: * In order to support dynamic loading of shared filter libraries, a new library was added in the libncpoco directory; it helps to isolate dynamic loading across multiple platforms. * Provide a json parsing library for use by plugins; this is created by merging libdispatch/ncjson.c with include/ncjson.h. * Add a new _Codecs attribute to allow clients to see what codecs are being used; let ncdump -s print it out. * Provide special headers to help support compilation of HDF5 filters when HDF5 is not enabled: netcdf_filter_hdf5_build.h and netcdf_filter_build.h. * Add a number of new test to test the new nczarr filters. * Let ncgen parse _Codecs attribute, although it is ignored. ### Plugin directory changes: * Add support for the Blosc compressor; this is essential because it is the most common compressor used in Zarr datasets. This also necessitated adding a CMake FindBlosc.cmake file * Add NCZarr support for the big-four filters provided by HDF5: shuffle, fletcher32, deflate (zlib), and szip * Add a Codec defaulter (see docs/filters.md) for the big four filters. * Make plugins work with windows by properly adding __declspec declaration. ### Misc. Non-Filter Changes * Replace most uses of USE_NETCDF4 (deprecated) with USE_HDF5. * Improve support for caching * More fixes for path conversion code * Fix misc. memory leaks * Add new utility -- ncdump/ncpathcvt -- that does more or less the same thing as cygpath. * Add a number of new test to test the non-filter fixes. * Update the parsers * Convert most instances of '#ifdef _MSC_VER' to '#ifdef _WIN32'

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1. There is still one known failure that has not been solved. All the failures revolve around some variant of this .cdl file. The proximate cause of failure is the use of a VLEN FillValue. ```` netcdf x { types: float(*) row_of_floats ; dimensions: m = 5 ; variables: row_of_floats ragged_array(m) ; row_of_floats ragged_array:_FillValue = {-999} ; data: ragged_array = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}, {20, 21, 22, 23}, {30, 31, 32}, {40, 41}, _ ; } ```` When a solution is found, I will either add it to this PR or post a new PR. # Related Changes * Mark nc_free_vlen(s) as deprecated in favor of ncaux_reclaim_data. * Remove the --enable-unfixed-memory-leaks option. * Remove the NC_VLENS_NOTEST code that suppresses some vlen tests. * Document this change in docs/internal.md * Disable the tst_vlen_data test in ncdump/tst_nccopy4.sh. * Mark types as fixed size or not (transitively) to optimize the reclaim and copy functions. # Misc.

This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data.

The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1.

Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them.

But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1. There is still one known failure that has not been solved. All the failures revolve around some variant of this .cdl file. The proximate cause of failure is the use of a VLEN FillValue. ```` netcdf x { types: float(*) row_of_floats ; dimensions: m = 5 ; variables: row_of_floats ragged_array(m) ; row_of_floats ragged_array:_FillValue = {-999} ; data: ragged_array = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}, {20, 21, 22, 23}, {30, 31, 32}, {40, 41}, _ ; } ```` When a solution is found, I will either add it to this PR or post a new PR. # Related Changes * Mark nc_free_vlen(s) as deprecated in favor of ncaux_reclaim_data. * Remove the --enable-unfixed-memory-leaks option. * Remove the NC_VLENS_NOTEST code that suppresses some vlen tests. * Document this change in docs/internal.md * Disable the tst_vlen_data test in ncdump/tst_nccopy4.sh. * Mark types as fixed size or not (transitively) to optimize the reclaim and copy functions. # Misc.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143.

Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy.

The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

- The only way there can be no lookahead present (in yychar) is if
this state is a consistent state with a default action. Thus,
detecting the absence of a lookahead is sufficient to determine
that there is no unexpected or expected token to report. In that
case, just report a simple "syntax error".
- Don't assume there isn't a lookahead just because this state is a
consistent state with a default action. There might have been a
previous inconsistent state, consistent state with a non-default
action, or user semantic action that manipulated yychar.
- Of course, the expected token list depends on states to have
correct lookahead information, and it depends on the parser not
to perform extra reductions after fetching a lookahead from the
scanner and before detecting a syntax error. Thus, state merging
(from LALR or IELR) and default reductions corrupt the expected
token list. However, the list is correct for canonical LR with
one exception: it will still contain any token that will not be

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1. There is still one known failure that has not been solved. All the failures revolve around some variant of this .cdl file. The proximate cause of failure is the use of a VLEN FillValue. ```` netcdf x { types: float(*) row_of_floats ; dimensions: m = 5 ; variables: row_of_floats ragged_array(m) ; row_of_floats ragged_array:_FillValue = {-999} ; data: ragged_array = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}, {20, 21, 22, 23}, {30, 31, 32}, {40, 41}, _ ; } ```` When a solution is found, I will either add it to this PR or post a new PR. # Related Changes * Mark nc_free_vlen(s) as deprecated in favor of ncaux_reclaim_data. * Remove the --enable-unfixed-memory-leaks option. * Remove the NC_VLENS_NOTEST code that suppresses some vlen tests. * Document this change in docs/internal.md * Disable the tst_vlen_data test in ncdump/tst_nccopy4.sh. * Mark types as fixed size or not (transitively) to optimize the reclaim and copy functions. # Misc.

In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1. There is still one known failure that has not been solved. All the failures revolve around some variant of this .cdl file.

But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user.

/* The semantic value stack. */
Add filter support to NCZarr Filter support has three goals: 1. Use the existing HDF5 filter implementations, 2. Allow filter metadata to be stored in the NumCodecs metadata format used by Zarr, 3. Allow filters to be used even when HDF5 is disabled Detailed usage directions are define in docs/filters.md. For now, the existing filter API is left in place. So filters are defined using ''nc_def_var_filter'' using the HDF5 style where the id and parameters are unsigned integers. This is a big change since filters affect many parts of the code. In the following, the terms "compressor" and "filter" and "codec" are generally used synonomously. ### Filter-Related Changes: * In order to support dynamic loading of shared filter libraries, a new library was added in the libncpoco directory; it helps to isolate dynamic loading across multiple platforms. * Provide a json parsing library for use by plugins; this is created by merging libdispatch/ncjson.c with include/ncjson.h. * Add a new _Codecs attribute to allow clients to see what codecs are being used; let ncdump -s print it out. * Provide special headers to help support compilation of HDF5 filters when HDF5 is not enabled: netcdf_filter_hdf5_build.h and netcdf_filter_build.h. * Add a number of new test to test the new nczarr filters. * Let ncgen parse _Codecs attribute, although it is ignored. ### Plugin directory changes: * Add support for the Blosc compressor; this is essential because it is the most common compressor used in Zarr datasets. This also necessitated adding a CMake FindBlosc.cmake file * Add NCZarr support for the big-four filters provided by HDF5: shuffle, fletcher32, deflate (zlib), and szip * Add a Codec defaulter (see docs/filters.md) for the big four filters. * Make plugins work with windows by properly adding __declspec declaration. ### Misc. Non-Filter Changes * Replace most uses of USE_NETCDF4 (deprecated) with USE_HDF5. * Improve support for caching * More fixes for path conversion code * Fix misc. memory leaks * Add new utility -- ncdump/ncpathcvt -- that does more or less the same thing as cygpath. * Add a number of new test to test the non-filter fixes. * Update the parsers * Convert most instances of '#ifdef _MSC_VER' to '#ifdef _WIN32'

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att.

The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code. Using these functions also allows some simplification of the code since the stdata and vldata fields of NC_ATT_INFO are no longer needed. Currently this is commented out using the SEPDATA \#define macro. When any bugs are largely fixed, all this code will be removed. # Known Bugs 1.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code.

/* User semantic actions sometimes alter yychar, and that requires

approach of translating immediately before every use of yytoken.
One alternative is translating here after every semantic action,
but that translation would be missed if the semantic action invokes
YYABORT, YYACCEPT, or YYERROR immediately after altering yychar or
if it invokes YYBACKUP. In the case of YYABORT or YYACCEPT, an
incorrect destructor might then be invoked immediately. In the
case of YYERROR or YYBACKUP, subsequent parser actions might lead
to an incorrect destructor call or verbose syntax error message

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed. These recursive functions are defined in libdispatch/dinstance.c and their signatures are defined in include/netcdf.h. For back compatibility, corresponding "ncaux_XXX" functions are defined in include/netcdf_aux.h. ```` int nc_reclaim_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_reclaim_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, void* memory, size_t count); int nc_copy_data(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void* copy); int nc_copy_data_all(int ncid, nc_type xtypeid, const void* memory, size_t count, void** copyp); ```` There are two variants. The first two, nc_reclaim_data() and nc_copy_data(), assume the top-level vector is managed by the caller. For reclaim, this is so the user can use, for example, a statically allocated vector. For copy, it assumes the user provides the space into which the copy is stored. The second two, nc_reclaim_data_all() and nc_copy_data_all(), allows the functions to manage the top-level. So for nc_reclaim_data_all, the top level is assumed to be dynamically allocated and will be free'd by nc_reclaim_data_all(). The nc_copy_data_all() function will allocate the top level and return a pointer to it to the user. The user can later pass that pointer to nc_reclaim_data_all() to reclaim the instance(s). # Internal Changes The netcdf-c library internals are changed to use the proper reclaim and copy functions. It turns out that the places where these functions are needed is quite pervasive in the netcdf-c library code.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data.

Fix various problem around VLEN's re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/541 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1208 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2078 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2041 re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143 For a long time, there have been known problems with the management of complex types containing VLENs. This also involves the string type because it is stored as a VLEN of chars. This PR (mostly) fixes this problem. But note that it adds new functions to netcdf.h (see below) and this may require bumping the .so number. These new functions can be removed, if desired, in favor of functions in netcdf_aux.h, but netcdf.h seems the better place for them because they are intended as alternatives to the nc_free_vlen and nc_free_string functions already in netcdf.h. The term complex type refers to any type that directly or transitively references a VLEN type. So an array of VLENS, a compound with a VLEN field, and so on. In order to properly handle instances of these complex types, it is necessary to have function that can recursively walk instances of such types to perform various actions on them. The term "deep" is also used to mean recursive. At the moment, the two operations needed by the netcdf library are: * free'ing an instance of the complex type * copying an instance of the complex type. The current library does only shallow free and shallow copy of complex types. This means that only the top level is properly free'd or copied, but deep internal blocks in the instance are not touched. Note that the term "vector" will be used to mean a contiguous (in memory) sequence of instances of some type. Given an array with, say, dimensions 2 X 3 X 4, this will be stored in memory as a vector of length 2*3*4=24 instances. The use cases are primarily these. ## nc_get_vars Suppose one is reading a vector of instances using nc_get_vars (or nc_get_vara or nc_get_var, etc.). These functions will return the vector in the top-level memory provided. All interior blocks (form nested VLEN or strings) will have been dynamically allocated. After using this vector of instances, it is necessary to free (aka reclaim) the dynamically allocated memory, otherwise a memory leak occurs. So, the recursive reclaim function is used to walk the returned instance vector and do a deep reclaim of the data. Currently functions are defined in netcdf.h that are supposed to handle this: nc_free_vlen(), nc_free_vlens(), and nc_free_string(). Unfortunately, these functions only do a shallow free, so deeply nested instances are not properly handled by them. Note that internally, the provided data is immediately written so there is no need to copy it. But the caller may need to reclaim the data it passed into the function. ## nc_put_att Suppose one is writing a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_put_att. Internally, the incoming attribute data must be copied and stored so that changes/reclamation of the input data will not affect the attribute. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. As a result, one sees effects such as described in Github Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2143. Also, after defining the attribute, it may be necessary for the user to free the data that was provided as input to nc_put_att(). ## nc_get_att Suppose one is reading a vector of instances as the data of an attribute using, say, nc_get_att. Internally, the existing attribute data must be copied and returned to the caller, and the caller is responsible for reclaiming the returned data. Again, the code inside the netcdf library does only shallow copying rather than deep copy. So this can lead to memory leaks and errors because the deep data is shared between the library and the user. # Solution The solution is to build properly recursive reclaim and copy functions and use those as needed.
