Some parameters like stringlength actually affect a dimension
named maxStrlen. So, add some aliasing so maxstrlen can be
specified as a parameter and as an alias for stringlength.
The affected parameters (case insensitive):
stringlength has alias maxstrlen
stringlength_<varname> has alias maxstrlen_<varname>
Also:
1. added a test case in ncdap_test/testurl.sh
2. added note to documentation
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
to get TOPSRCDIR that avoids use of
TEST_ENVIRONMENT and makes automake and cmake
more consistent.
Basic assumption is that abs_top_srcdir (and
cmake equivalent) is known at 'make check' time,
so we can use -D flag to compile a program that
has the value of abs_top_srcdir embedded into it
as a constant.
We define two new files in ncdap_test:
1. t_srcdir.h -- provide a gettopsrcdir() function
to return the topsrcdir value to the test program.
2. topsrcdir.c -- a program that calls gettopsrcdir()
and prints its output (minus any newline) on stdout.
This is used in .sh files to get topsrcdir.
