contain as little file-type specific info as possible. It
modifies especially libsrc so that all of the netcdf-3 data
that used to be in struct NC is now kept in a separate chunk
of data pointed to by the struct NC. This makes all of
current protocols consistent: netcdf-3, netcdf-4, and dap.
revision 2160, merged at revision 2269. Detailed notes are found in
the logs for the branch between those revisions.
The update, in broad changes:
o Updated test scripts to accomodate pathing differences in MSYS environment,
behavior of some functions in 64-bit windows.
o Modified a few functions to accomodate Windows, whereas previously windows
was ignored.
implementation. Deleted obsolete win32, soon to be replaced by Ward's
Windows 32- and 64-bit fixes for building with MSYS/MinGW. Made
cosmetic cleanup to output of "make check" to make it easier for users
to interpret. Fixed bug NCF-175: ncdump -t incorrectly interpreting
units attribute (such as "days") without a base time (such as "since
2007-01-01") as a time unit.
Changed name to 4.2.1-beta.
o Corrected the check for curl when building DLL. For some reason it just assumed it was missing? No real check was performed.
o Made configuration scripts a little more generic.
o Modified daputil.h to externalize nc__testurl on Windows.
of NC_ERANGE errors, especially with unsigned types, resolving most
NCF-172 issues and confusion between long and long long types in
llibsrc/ncx.m4. Eliminated some unnecessary tests, e.g. tests
for negative values for unsigned types.
naming convention.
o Modified ncdump shell, test scripts so that the extra
digit in an exponent on windows wouldn't be a problem.
o Modified configure.ac to check for the zlib dll provided
by the zlib group; they recommend using the official dll for
windows builds.
The in-memory files can be made persistent if nc_create is called with
NC_DISKLESS|NC_WRITE flags set. Initial test case also included.
- Modified ncio mechanism to support
multiple ncio packages; this is so we
can have posixio and memio operating
at the same time.
- cleanup up a bunch of lint issues (unused variables, etc).
- Fix NCF-157 to modify DAP code to support
partial variable retrieval.
- Fix of NCF-154 to solve problem of ncgen
improperly processing data lists for variables
of size greater than 2**18 bytes.
- Fix ncgen processing of char variables that have
multiple unlimited dimensions.
- Partly fix Jira issue: NCF-145 (vlen issues).
- Benchmark program nc_test4/tst_ar4_*) requires arguments
and should only be invoked inside a shell
script; fixed so that they terminate cleanly
if invoked with no arguments.
- Fix the Doxygen processing so it will work
with make distcheck.
- Begin switchover to using an alternative to ncio.
- Begin support for in-memory (diskless) files.
