in the docs directory.
1. Add a new internal document -- testserver.dox -- to describe
how to set up and maintain the dap test server.
2. It moves the internal documentation (internal.dox, indexing.dox,
and testserver.dox) to later in the documentation table of contents.
3. Cleanup the formatting of the internal documents.
4. Cleanup some minor doxygen issues in other files.
The file docs/indexing.dox tries to provide design
information for the refactoring.
The primary change is to replace all walking of linked
lists with the use of the NCindex data structure.
Ncindex is a combination of a hash table (for name-based
lookup) and a vector (for walking the elements in the index).
Additionally, global vectors are added to NC_HDF5_FILE_INFO_T
to support direct mapping of an e.g. dimid to the NC_DIM_INFO_T
object. These global vectors exist for dimensions, types, and groups
because they have globally unique id numbers.
WARNING:
1. since libsrc4 and libsrchdf4 share code, there are also
changes in libsrchdf4.
2. Any outstanding pull requests that change libsrc4 or libhdf4
are likely to cause conflicts with this code.
3. The original reason for doing this was for performance improvements,
but as noted elsewhere, this may not be significant because
the meta-data read performance apparently is being dominated
by the hdf5 library because we do bulk meta-data reading rather
than lazy reading.
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
Update utf8proc.[ch] to use the version now
maintained by the Julia Language project
(https://github.com/JuliaLang/utf8proc/blob/master/LICENSE.md).
The license for the previous version was
unacceptable for the Debian and Ubuntu release
systems. The new version both updates the code
and addresses the license issue.
It turns out that the utf8proc software we are using
was turned over to the Julia Language developers
and the license terms changed to allow modification.
(https://github.com/JuliaLang/utf8proc/blob/master/LICENSE.md).
So the fix here is as follows:
1. Wrap the library with a fixed interface: libdispatch/dutf8.c
and include/ncutf8.h.
2. Replace the existing utf8proc code with the new version
from https://github.com/JuliaLang/utf8proc.
3. Add a couple more test cases: nc_test/tst_utf8_validate.c
and nc_test_utf8_phrases.c. If/when I can find a usable
normalization test, I will incorporate that later.
