* Mark some global constants be const to indicate to make them easier to track.
* Hide direct access to the ncrc_globalstate behind a function call.
* Convert dispatch tables to constants (except the user defined ones)
This has some consequences in terms of function arguments needing to be marked
as const also.
* Remove some no longer needed global fields
* Aggregate all the globals in nclog.c
* Uniformly replace nc_sizevector{0,1} with NC_coord_{zero,one}
* Uniformly replace nc_ptrdffvector1 with NC_stride_one
* Remove some obsolete code
Primary change is to cleanup code and remove duplicated code.
1. Unify the rc file reading into libdispatch/drc.c. Eventually extend
if we need rc file for netcdf itself as opposed to the dap code.
2. Unify the extraction from the rc file of DAP authorization info.
3. Misc. other small unifications: make temp file, read file.
4. Avoid use of libcurl when reading file:// because
there is some kind of problem with the Visual Studio version.
Might be related to the winpath problem.
In any case, do direct read instead.
5. Add new error code NC_ERCFILE for errors in reading RC file.
6. Complete documentation cleanup as indicated in this comment
https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/472#issuecomment-325926426
7. Convert some occurrences of #ifdef _WIN32 to #ifdef _MSC_VER
were added to provide a path name converter from e.g. cygwin
paths to e.g. windows paths. This is necessary because
the shell scripts may produce cygwin paths, but the code
may have been compiled with Visual Studio. Similar issues
arise with Mingw.
At appropriate places, and if using Visual Studio or Mingw,
I added calls to the path conversion code.
Apparently I forgot to find all the places where this
conversion was needed. So this pr does the following:
1. Push the calls to the converter to the various libXXX
directories and out of libdispatch/dfile.c.
2. Add conversion calls to other parts of the code like oc2.
I also turns out that conversion code in dapcvt.c
had a bug when handling DAP Byte type under visual studio.
Notes:
1. there may still be places I missed that need to do path conversion.
2. need to make sure that calls to e.g. H5open also use converted path.
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 supports better authorization
handling for DAP requests, especially redirection
based authorization. I also added a new test case
ncdap_tests/testauth.sh.
Specifically, suppose I have a netrc file /tmp/netrc
containing this.
machine uat.urs.earthdata.nasa.gov login xxxxxx password yyyyyy
Also suppose I have a .ocrc file containing these lines
HTTP.COOKIEJAR=/tmp/cookies
HTTP.NETRC=/tmp/netrc
Assume that .ocrc is in the local directory or HOME.
Then this command should work (assuming a valid login and password).
ncdump -h "https://54.86.135.31/opendap/data/nc/fnoc1.nc"
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.
error occurs after an "exit:" label.
Corrected a dozen Coverity errors (mainly allocation issues, along with a few
other things):
711711, 711802, 711803, 711905, 970825, 996123, 996124, 1025787,
1047274, 1130013, 1130014, 1139538
Refactored internal fill-value code to correctly handle string types, and
especially to allow NULL pointers and null strings (ie. "") to be
distinguished. The code now avoids partially aliasing the two together
(which only happened on the 'write' side of things and wasn't reflected on
the 'read' side, adding to the previous confusion).
Probably still weak on handling fill-values of variable-length and compound
datatypes.
Refactored the recursive metadata reads a bit more, to process HDF5 named
datatypes and datasets immediately, avoiding chewing up memory for those
types of objects, etc.
Finished uncommenting and updating the nc_test4/tst_fills2.c code (as I'm
proceeding alphabetically through the nc_test4 code files).
Primarily focused on memory errors falling into a couple different types:
1) Static overrun errors.
2) Dereference uninitialized memory errors.
make distcheck works after applying these fixes, and coverity no longer sees an issue, so hopefully they are properly resolved.
