re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2190
The primary purpose of this PR is to improve the utf8 support
for windows. This is persuant to a change in Windows that
supports utf8 natively (almost). The almost means that it is
still utf16 internally and the set of characters representable
by utf8 is larger than those representable by utf16.
This leaves open the question in the Issue about handling
the Windows 1252 character set.
This required the following changes:
1. Test the Windows build and major version in order to see if
native utf8 is supported.
2. If native utf8 is supported, Modify dpathmgr.c to call the 8-bit
version of the windows fopen() and open() functions.
3. In support of this, programs that use XGetOpt (Windows versions)
need to get the command line as utf8 and then parse to
arc+argv as utf8. This requires using a homegrown command line parser
named XCommandLineToArgvA.
4. Add a utility program called "acpget" that prints out the
current Windows code page and locale.
Additionally, some technical debt was cleaned up as follows:
1. Unify all the places which attempt to read all or a part
of a file into the dutil.c#NC_readfile code.
2. Similary unify all the code that creates temp files into
dutil.c#NC_mktmp code.
3. Convert almost all remaining calls to fopen() and open()
to NCfopen() and NCopen3(). This is to ensure that path management
is used consistently. This touches a number of files.
4. extern->EXTERNL as needed to get it to work under Windows.

Provide get/set functions to store global data alignment
information and apply it when a file is created.
The api is as follows:
````
int nc_set_alignment(int threshold, int alignment);
int nc_get_alignment(int* thresholdp, int* alignmentp);
````
If defined, then for every file created opened after the call to
nc_set_alignment, for every new variable added to the file, the
most recently set threshold and alignment values will be applied
to that variable.
The nc_get_alignment function return the last values set by
nc_set_alignment. If nc_set_alignment has not been called, then
it returns the value 0 for both threshold and alignment.
The alignment parameters are stored in the NCglobalstate object
(see below) for use as needed. Repeated calls to nc_set_alignment
will overwrite any existing values in NCglobalstate.
The alignment parameters are applied in libhdf5/hdf5create.c
and libhdf5/hdf5open.c
The set/get alignment functions are defined in libsrc4/nc4internal.c.
A test program was added as nc_test4/tst_alignment.c.
## Misc. Changes Unrelated to Alignment
* The NCRCglobalstate type was renamed to NCglobalstate to
indicate that it represented more general global state than
just .rc data. It was also moved to nc4internal.h. This led
to a large number of small changes: mostly renaming. The
global state management functions were moved to nc4internal.c.
* The global chunk cache variables have been moved into
NCglobalstate. As warranted, other global state will be moved
as well.
* Some misc. problems with the nczarr performance tests were corrected.

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.

This PR replaces old testcases with ncdap_test/testauth.sh.
This testcase allows us to test use of the .dodsrc file and .netrc file
and embedded user+pwd.
As part of this, I had to create a program (ncdap_test/pathcvt.c)
that is essentially the equivalent to cygpath. Given a path in
windows, unix, msys or cygwin format, it converts it to the
equivalent format in one of those four cases. So it can be used
to convert a cygwin path to a windows path, for example. This is
needed in testpathcvt and testauth to make sure that the paths
in .daprc (e.g. the reference to .netrc) are of the proper
format.
Misc. Other Changes:
1. Fix some memory leaks in libdap2
2. Setting the env variable CURLOPT_VERBOSE allows tracking of curl
operations.
3. Make tst_charvlenbug be conditional on NC_VLEN_NOTEST.

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.
re: Partly addresses issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1712.
1. Turn on Hyrax Hack to accept Hyrax style attribute containers.
2. Support Url type as alias for String.
3. Accept the special attribute, "__DAP4_Checksum_CRC32",
to control per-variable checksums.
4. Make _DAP4_xxx attributes be reserved and only accessible
by name (ala _SuperBlock attribute).
5. Fix handling of checksums. There is a hack in the code
that uses an extra flag in the chunk header to indicate
that all variables have checksums. This violates the spec
and will be removed once it is possible to regenerate the
test cases.
Note that checksumming with the Hyrax test server has not
been tested. This, along with some other probable inconsistencies,
needs fixing when OPeNDAP and Unidata can agree on the proper
specification. Testing will be included.
* For URL paths, the new approach essentially centralizes all information
in the URL into the "#mode=" fragment key and uses that value
to determine the dispatcher for (most) URLs.
* The new approach has the following steps:
1. canonicalize the path if it is a URL.
2. use the mode= fragment key to determine the dispatcher
3. if dispatcher still not determined, then use the mode flags
argument to nc_open/nc_create to determine the dispatcher.
4. if the path points to something readable, attempt to read the
magic number at the front, and use that to determine the dispatcher.
this case may override all previous cases.
* Misc changes.
1. Update documentation
2. Moved some unit tests from libdispatch to unit_test directory.
3. Fixed use of wrong #ifdef macro in test_filter_reg.c
[I think this may fix an previously reported esupport query].
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1373 (partial)

This PR partially fixes memory leaks in the netcdf-c library,
in the ncdump utility, and in some test cases.
The netcdf-c library now runs memory clean with the assumption
that the --disable-utilities option is used. The primary remaining
problem is ncgen. Once that is fixed, I believe the netcdf-c library
will run memory clean with no limitations.
Notes
-----------
1. Memory checking was performed using gcc -fsanitize=address.
Valgrind-based testing has yet to be performed.
2. The pnetcdf, hdf4, and examples code has not been tested.
Misc. Non-leak changes
1. Make tst_diskless2 only run when netcdf4 is enabled (issue 1162)
2. Fix CmakeLists.txt to turn off logging if ENABLE_NETCDF_4 is OFF
3. Isolated all my debug scripts into a single top-level directory
called debug
4. Fix some USE_NETCDF4 dependencies in nc_test and nc_test4 Makefile.am
re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1151
Modify DAP2 and DAP4 code to handle case when _FillValue type is not
same as the parent variable type.
Specifically:
1. Define a parameter [fillmismatch] to allow this mismatch;
default is to disallow.
2. If allowed, forcibly change the type of the _FillValue to match
the parent variable.
3. If allowed Convert the values to match new type
4. Generate a log message
5. if not allowed, then fail
Implementing this required some changes to ncdap_test/dapcvt.c
Also added test cases.
Minor Unrelated Changes:
1. There were a number of warnings about e.g.
assigning a const char* to a char*. Fix these
2. In nccopy.1, replace .NP with .IP "n"
(re PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1144)
3. fix minor error in ncdump/ocprint
re: github issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1111
One of the less common use cases for the in-memory feature is
apparently failing with HDF5-1.10.x. The fix is complicated and
requires significant changes to libhdf5/nc4memcb.c. The current
setup is detailed in the file docs/inmeminternal.dox.
Additionally, it was discovered that the program
nc_test/tst_inmemory.c, which is invoked by
nc_test/run_inmemory.sh, actually was failing because of the
above problem. But the failure is not detected since the script
does not return non-zero value.
Other Changes:
1. Fix nc_test_tst_inmemory to return errors correctly.
2. Make ncdap_tests/findtestserver.c and dap4_tests/findtestserver4.c
be generated from ncdap_test/findtestserver.c.in.
3. Make LOG() print output to stderr instead of stdout to
avoid contaminating e.g. ncdump output.
4. Modify the handling of NC_INMEMORY and NC_DISKLESS flags
to properly handle that NC_DISKLESS => NC_INMEMORY. This
affects a number of code pieces, especially memio.c.
Add the ability to set some additional curlopt values via .daprc (aka .dodsrc).
This effects both DAP2 and DAP4 protocols.

1. CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE: Relevant to [1]. Allow user to set the read/write
buffersizes used by curl.
This is done by adding the following to .daprc (aka .dodsrc):
HTTP.READ.BUFFERSIZE=n
where n is the buffersize in bytes. There is a built-in (to curl)
limit of 512k for this value.
2. CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE (and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL):
Relevant (maybe) to [2] and [3]. Allow the user to turn on KEEPALIVE
This is done by adding the following to .daprc (aka .dodsrc):
HTTP.KEEPALIVE=on|n/m
If the value is "on", then simply enable default KEEPALIVE. If the value
is n/m, then enable KEEPALIVE and set KEEPIDLE to n and KEEPINTVL to m.

Expand the NC_INMEMORY capabilities to support writing and accessing
the final modified memory.
Three new functions have been added:
nc_open_memio, nc_create_mem, and nc_close_memio.
The following new capabilities were added.
1. nc_open_memio() allows the NC_WRITE mode flag
so a chunk of memory can be passed in and be modified
2. nc_create_mem() allows the NC_INMEMORY flag to be set
to cause the created file to be kept in memory.
3. nc_close_mem() allows the final in-memory contents to be
retrieved at the time the file is closed.
4. A special flag, NC_MEMIO_LOCK, is provided to ensure that
the provided memory will not be freed or reallocated.
Note the following.
1. If nc_open_memio() is called with NC_WRITE, and NC_MEMIO_LOCK is not set,
then the netcdf-c library will take control of the incoming memory.
This means that the original memory block should not be freed
but the block returned by nc_close_mem() must be freed.
2. If nc_open_memio() is called with NC_WRITE, and NC_MEMIO_LOCK is set,
then modifications to the original memory may fail if the space available
is insufficient.
Documentation is provided in the file docs/inmemory.md.
A test case is provided: nc_test/tst_inmemory.c driven by
nc_test/run_inmemory.sh

License appears to be acceptable, but needs to be checked by e.g. Debian.
Step 1:
1. Add to netcdf-c/include/ncconfigure.h to use our version
if not already available as determined by HAVE_STRLCAT in config.h.
2. Add the strlcat code to libdispatch/dstring.c
3. Turns out that strlcat was already defined in several places.
So remove it from:
ncgen3/genlib.c

generates garbage. This in turn interferes with using .netrc
because the garbage user+pwd can will override the
.netrc. Note that this may work ok sometimes
if the garbage happens to start with a nul character.
2. It turns out that the user:pwd combination needs to support
character escaping. One reason is the user may contain an '@' character.
The other is that modern password rules make it not unlikely that
the password will contain characters that interfere with url parsing.
So, the rule I have implemented is that all occurrences of the user:pwd
format must escape any dodgy characters. The escape format is URL escaping
of the form %XX. This applies both to user:pwd
embedded in a URL as well as the use of HTTP.CREDENTIALS.USERPASSWORD
in a .dodsrc/.daprc file. The user and password in .netrc must not
be escaped. This is now documented in docs/auth.md
The fix for #2 actually obviated #1. Now, internally, the user and pwd
are stored separately and not in the user:pwd format. They are combined
(and escaped) only when needed.
dap code will create a real temporary file in which to store the
converted metadata for the DAP .dds or .dmr.
It was assumed that the nc_close code would reclaim the
temporary file. For DAP2, reclamation occurs in the ncio
code. For DAP4, it was assumed that the libsrc4 code would do
the reclamation, but for whatever reason, this is not happening.
Thus, in this situation, a temporary file is left in the file
system. Aside from being irritating to users, this screws up
'make distcheck'.
So the DAP4 code is fixed to ensure that the temporary file is
properly reclaimed independent of the libsrc4 code.
Some temporary files are being left in a tempdir (e.g. /tmp
under *nix*).
The situation is described tersely in
netcdf-c/docs/auth.html#REDIR Basically, when a url is used that
requires redirection, a physical cookiejar file is required
to exist in the file system in order for this to work.
Since it was difficult to figure out when redirection was
being used (it was internal to libcurl) I needed to be prepared for that
eventuality. The result was that I always created a cookiejar file if one
was not specified in the rc file. This actually occurs in two places:
one inside oc2 and one inside libdap4.
The solution was two-fold:
1. do not use a cookiejar directory -- create cookiejar file directly
2. ensure that all cookiejar related files are reclaimed by nc_close().
Note that if nc_close (or nc_abort) is not called for whatever reason,
then reclamation will not occur.
1. When running under windows (as opposed to cygwin)
we need to make sure to not user /cygdrive/ file paths.
This was ocurring in libdap4/d4read.c, but may occur
elsewhere.
2. Shell scripts in the git repo are not being checked-out
with the executable mode set. Had core.filemode set to false.
Was a major hassle to fix.
Specific changes:
1. Add dap4 code: libdap4 and dap4_test.
Note that until the d4ts server problem is solved, dap4 is turned off.
2. Modify various files to support dap4 flags:
configure.ac, Makefile.am, CMakeLists.txt, etc.
3. Add nc_test/test_common.sh. This centralizes
the handling of the locations of various
things in the build tree: e.g. where is
ncgen.exe located. See nc_test/test_common.sh
for details.
4. Modify .sh files to use test_common.sh
5. Obsolete separate oc2 by moving it to be part of
netcdf-c. This means replacing code with netcdf-c
equivalents.
5. Add --with-testserver to configure.ac to allow
override of the servers to be used for --enable-dap-remote-tests.
6. There were multiple versions of nctypealignment code. Try to
centralize in libdispatch/doffset.c and include/ncoffsets.h
7. Add a unit test for the ncuri code because of its complexity.
8. Move the findserver code out of libdispatch and into
a separate, self contained program in ncdap_test and dap4_test.
9. Move the dispatch header files (nc{3,4}dispatch.h) to
.../include because they are now shared by modules.
10. Revamp the handling of TOPSRCDIR and TOPBUILDDIR for shell scripts.
11. Make use of MREMAP if available
12. Misc. minor changes e.g.
- #include <config.h> -> #include "config.h"
- Add some no-install headers to /include
- extern -> EXTERNL and vice versa as needed
- misc header cleanup
- clean up checking for misc. unix vs microsoft functions
13. Change copyright decls in some files to point to LICENSE file.
14. Add notes to RELEASENOTES.md
