re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2003#issuecomment-847637871
Turns out that mingw defines both _WIN32 and also defines getopt.
This means that this test:
````
#ifdef _WIN32
#include "XGetopt.h"
#endif
````
fails on this error:
````
../include/XGetopt.h:38:24: error: conflicting types for 'getopt'
````
Fix is to replace
````
#ifdef _WIN32
with
#if defined(_WIN32) && !defined(__MINGW32__)
````
re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1999
NCclosedir code is incorrect. Fix.
Note that this issue crops up when using a non-VisualStudio windows build
such as Mingw because Mingq defines dirent.h, but Visual Studio does not.
Addendum:
Fix some mingw bugs:
1. Modify XGetopt.h to be conditional on _WIN32 instead of _MSC_VER.
2. Make sure sys/stat.h is included in ncpathmgr.h
The primary change is to support the use of a zip file as a
storage format. Simultaneously the .nz4 support is made obsolete
Use of zip requires the libzip support library, so a number of
changes to the build files (Makefile.am, CMakeLists.txt) are
necessary to locate and incorporate libzip. The nczarr_tests
tests are also changed to add zip testing.
Other changes:
* Make sure distcheck leaves no files around.
* Add some functions to netcdf_aux to export some functions of libnetcdf.
* Add a new error NC_EFOUND as the complement of NC_EEMPTY.
* Add tracing support to nclog and use it in libnczarr.
* Modify the zmap interface to support the writeonce semantics of zip.
* Create a new s3util.c to support a variety of S3 auxilliary functions.
* EXTERNL'ize a number of functions so they can be used in s3util.
* Add support for the S3 ListObjects CommonPrefixes mechanism
to improve search.
* Add experimental support for running nczarr X s3 tests against
the actual Amazon S3 cloud.
As it was, nccopy -c dim/x was sometimes being ignored. So
modify nccopy to properly take into account. This also required
a change to the nczarr code because it was not applying default
chunking in the same way as libhdf5.
Modify ncdump/tst_nccopy4.sh to test this feature properly.
Also add a similar test to nczarr_test.
Additionally, fix some other things that were causing Visual
Studio builds with testing to not work.
* fix curl testing under CMake to properly handle case
where DAP is disabled, but byterange support is enabled.
* properly test and/or define uintptr_t
* Convert _O_XXX to O_XXX flags used by open();
The primary fix is to improve CMake build support.
Specific changes include:
* CMake: Provide a better soln to locating the AWS SDK
libraries; the new way is the preferred method as described in
the aws-cpp-sdk documentation.
* CMake (and Automake): allow -DENABLE_S3_SDK (default off) to suppress
looking for AWS libraries.
* CMake: add the complete set of nczarr tests
* CMake: add EXTERNL as needed to various .h files.
* Improve support for windows drive letters in paths.
* Add nczarr and s3 flags to nc-config
* For VisualStudio X nczarr, cleanup the NAN+INFINITY handling
* Convert _MSC_VER -> _WIN32 and vice versa as needed
* NCZarr - support multiple platform paths including windows, cygwin.
mingw, etc.
* NCZarr - sort the test outputs because different platforms
produce directory contents in different orders.
One big change concerns netcdf-c/CMakeLists.txt and netcdf-c/configure.ac.
In the current versions, it was the case that --disable-hdf5
disabled netcdf-4 (libsrc4). With nczarr, this can no longer
be the case because nczarr requires libsrc4 even if libhdf5
is disabled. So, I modified the above files to move the
format options (HDF5, NCZarr, HDF4, etc) to a single place
near the front of the files. Now it is the case that:
* Enabling any of the formats that require libsrc4
also does an implicit --enable-netcdf4.
* --disable-netcdf4 | --disable-netcdf-4 now becomes
and alias for --disable-hdf5.
There are probably some bugs in this change in terms of
dependencies between format options.
Problems:
* CMake S3 support is still not working for Visual Studio
* A recent issue points out that there is work to do on handling
UTF8 filenames, but that will be addressed in a separate fix.
Notes:
* Consider converting all of our includes/.h files to use EXTERNL
cloud using a variant of the Zarr protocol and storage
format. This enhancement is generically referred to as "NCZarr".
The data model supported by NCZarr is netcdf-4 minus the user-defined
types and the String type. In this sense it is similar to the CDF-5
data model.
More detailed information about enabling and using NCZarr is
described in the document NUG/nczarr.md and in a
[Unidata Developer's blog entry](https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/en/entry/overview-of-zarr-support-in).
WARNING: this code has had limited testing, so do use this version
for production work. Also, performance improvements are ongoing.
Note especially the following platform matrix of successful tests:
Platform | Build System | S3 support
------------------------------------
Linux+gcc | Automake | yes
Linux+gcc | CMake | yes
Visual Studio | CMake | no
Additionally, and as a consequence of the addition of NCZarr,
major changes have been made to the Filter API. NOTE: NCZarr
does not yet support filters, but these changes are enablers for
that support in the future. Note that it is possible
(probable?) that there will be some accidental reversions if the
changes here did not correctly mimic the existing filter testing.
In any case, previously filter ids and parameters were of type
unsigned int. In order to support the more general zarr filter
model, this was all converted to char*. The old HDF5-specific,
unsigned int operations are still supported but they are
wrappers around the new, char* based nc_filterx_XXX functions.
This entailed at least the following changes:
1. Added the files libdispatch/dfilterx.c and include/ncfilter.h
2. Some filterx utilities have been moved to libdispatch/daux.c
3. A new entry, "filter_actions" was added to the NCDispatch table
and the version bumped.
4. An overly complex set of structs was created to support funnelling
all of the filterx operations thru a single dispatch
"filter_actions" entry.
5. Move common code to from libhdf5 to libsrc4 so that it is accessible
to nczarr.
Changes directly related to Zarr:
1. Modified CMakeList.txt and configure.ac to support both C and C++
-- this is in support of S3 support via the awd-sdk libraries.
2. Define a size64_t type to support nczarr.
3. More reworking of libdispatch/dinfermodel.c to
support zarr and to regularize the structure of the fragments
section of a URL.
Changes not directly related to Zarr:
1. Make client-side filter registration be conditional, with default off.
2. Hack include/nc4internal.h to make some flags added by Ed be unique:
e.g. NC_CREAT, NC_INDEF, etc.
3. cleanup include/nchttp.h and libdispatch/dhttp.c.
4. Misc. changes to support compiling under Visual Studio including:
* Better testing under windows for dirent.h and opendir and closedir.
5. Misc. changes to the oc2 code to support various libcurl CURLOPT flags
and to centralize error reporting.
6. By default, suppress the vlen tests that have unfixed memory leaks; add option to enable them.
7. Make part of the nc_test/test_byterange.sh test be contingent on remotetest.unidata.ucar.edu being accessible.
Changes Left TO-DO:
1. fix provenance code, it is too HDF5 specific.
