The hash field for phony dimensions was not being set
(in nc4hdf.c). Also added test case (nc_test4/?).
Note that I searched for other similar failures and
did not find any, but I may have missed them.
It turns out that HDF4 supports chunking
(and compression). However the existing
HDF4 code does not support it.
So add HDF4 support for chunking.
Also add a test case.
Add a new function called nc_inq_format_extended that
returns more detailed format information (vis-a-vis
nc_inq_format) about an open dataset.
Note that the netcdf API will present the file as if it had
the format specified by nc_inq_format. The true file
format, however, may not even be a netcdf file; it might be
DAP, HDF4, or PNETCDF, for example. This function returns
that true file type. It also returns the effective mode for
the file.
signature: nc_inq_format_extended(int ncid, int* formatp, int* modep)
where
* ncid is the NetCDF ID from a previous call to nc_open() or
nc_create().
* formatp is a pointer to a location for returned true format.
* modep is a pointer to a location for returned mode flags.
Refer to the actual list in the file netcdf.h to see the
currently defined set.
Also added test cases (tst_formatx*).
the rest of the dimension queries. Correct error in library where types used
in sub-group variables but that were added to the file after the sub-group was
created weren't available for sub-group variables to use. Start cleaning up
test suite and un-commenting tests that were commented out (got up to
nc_test4/tst_fills2.c, alphabetically) before running into an error in HDF5.
Also added ability capability for netCDF-4 to write and read NIL
values for string type attributes and variables, so these can be read
if used in HDF5 files.
Include are additions to CMakeLists files to reflect new tests.
Fix Jira issue NCF-29 (https://bugtracking.unidata.ucar.edu/browse/NCF-29):
making the netCDF-4 library ignore HDF5 datasets and attributes which have
datatypes (such as references) that it doesn't understand.
Tested on:
Mac OSX/64 10.8.2 (amazon) w/--enable-netcdf-4 --enable-extra-tests --enable-extra-example-tests
--disable-shared --enable-logging
