to do prefetch on either a lazy
or eager basis. Lazy means that
the prefetch does not occur
until and unless the client actually
makes a get_var request.
Also repaired a problem where
doing prefetch wrt a url that
has a constraint will prefetch
a whole variable if its constrained
size is small enough, even if the
underlying variable is too large
to warrant prefetch.
to indicate that they only work for atomic types,
not user defined types.
2. modified NCDEFAULT_{get/put}_vars to no longer use
nc_get/put_varm. They now directly use nc_get/put_vara
directly. This means that nc_get/put_vars now work
properly for user defined types as well as atomic types.
3. Added test cases for get_vars/put_vars with a
user defined type. Tests placed into
nc_test/tst_compounds.c
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.
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.
