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
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.
that were not taking the CDF-5 format into account.
2. Had to update ncgen.1 man page to define the new
k-flag rules to deal with cdf-5.
3. Had to fix some tests that use 'cmp' for comparison;
this really should be deprecated.
3. There was a bug in configure.ac with respect
to using the enable-netcdf-4 flag vs
using disable-netcdf-4.
The code for handling character constants
in datalists in ncgen has some problems.
1. It failed on large constants
2. It did not handle e.g. var = 'a', 'b', ...
in the same way that ncgen3 did.
3. The code for generate.c and genchar.c needed
some refactoring to make it a little simpler
(but not simple).
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.
HT to Nico Schlomer.
2. Attempted to reduce the number of conversion errors
when -Wconversion is set. Fixed oc2, but
rest of netcdf remains to be done.
HT to Nico Schlomer.
3. When doing #2, I discovered an error in ncgen.y
that has remained hidden. This required some other
test case fixes.
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.
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.
NCF-42: _Format attribute sometimes being ignored
NCF-43: Fixed unsigned long long parsing.
NCF-47: Make opendap code properly handle illegal names like "x.y" by
supressing them
NCF-49: check for uint type
NCF-50: properly handle username:pwd embedded in urls.
