2. Factored out the parameter string parsing for ncgen and nccopy
int libdispatch/dfilter.c + include/ncfilter.h
3. Allow a parameter string to use constant types other than
unsigned int. See docs/filters.md for details.
4. Moved the old content of include/netcdf_filter.h into include/netcdf.h
and removed include/netcdf_filter.h as no longer needed.
5. Force the test filter (bzip2) in nc_test4/filter_test to
be built using BUILT_SOURCES.
1. Allow nccopy to apply filters, especially on the output file.
This provides a third way to do this other than using ncgen or
programatically
2. Make sure that even if the filter code is not available, it is
possible to see the filter id and parameters for variables using
e.g ncdump -hs.
3. Fix bug in nccopy so that the input file does
not necessarily have to be netcdf-4.
4. At last minute decided to change to using a
single "_Filter" attribute for ncgen
5. Added a test to tst_filter.sh to generate C code using ncgen.
This relies on the HDF5 capability to
dynamically load compression filters.
Note that a compression filter is just
a subcase of filters.
The primary user-visible changes are as follows:
1. Add a standard header "netcdf_filter.h" that defines
the necessary API extensions
2. Modify ncgen to support two new special attributes
"_Filter_ID" and "_Filter_Parameters" so that compression
can be turned on when creating a file using ncgen.
4. Add a detailed description of filtering support
to the user's guide; see the file filters.md
5. Add a test case directory for this: nc_test4/filter_test.
It is fragile and a ./configure flags (-enable-filter-test)
is defined (default disabled) to shut this off this test
to avoid spurious 'make check' failures.
Note that the HDF5 documentation is not up-to-date, so
much of what is encoded here comes from examining the
actual code in the file H5PL.c in the HDF5 source code.
Problem was in oc2/dap.y.
In definition of errormsg:, change WORD_WORD to WORD_STRING
since the msg field of an opendap error response is a quoted
string.
Also took the opportunity to modify ncgen to
transfer the logging level (-L flag) into the c-code
generated using -lc.
This consists of a persistent attribute named
_NCProperties plus two computed attributes
_IsNetcdf4 and _SuperblockVersion.
See the 'Provenance Attributes' section
of docs/attribute_conventions.md for details.
should be under ENABLE_DAP_REMOTE_TESTS.
Fixed to make sure that this is so.
Also attempted to fix ncdap_test/CMakeLists.txt,
but probably got it wrong.

2. Attempted to reduce the number of conversion errors
when -Wconversion is set. Fixed oc2, but
rest of netcdf remains to be done.

3. When doing #2, I discovered an error in ncgen.y
that has remained hidden. This required some other
test case fixes.
Added code to verify that enum constants
(and other constants) are consistent
with the type of the variable or
attribute to which they are assigned.
This addresses the ncdump failure.
Ncgen is unable to resolve
ambiguous references to an enum
constant when two different enums
have same econstant name.
Solved by allowing more specific
forms for econstant references.
1. /.../enumname.enumconstname
2. enumname.enumconstname
3. enumconstname
Case 1 is resolved by using the econstant
in the specific enum definition. If none is
found, an error is reported.
Case 2 is resolved by
1. finding an enclosing group with an
enum definition with the specified name
and containing the specified econstant.
If there are more than one, then an error is reported
2. finding all enum definitions in the dataset that have
the specified enum name and contain the specified
econstant. If more than one is found, then an error is reported.
If the above two methods fail, then report an error.
Case 3 is similar to case 2, but all enums, irrespective
of name are used if they contains the specified enum constant.
The ref_tst_econst.cdl test in ncdump is causing ncdump
to fail. So there may be yet some problem.
ncgen: nan bug
made semicolons optional after type decls
libncdap{3,4}: revamped the NC surrogate to better match
with libsrc
libdispatch: Added a new_nc function to the dispatch table; its purpose
is to allow hierarchical use of NC compatible data structures.
libsrc: cleaned up the NC structure by removing drno field
general: removed --with-oc options
