Fix github issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/899
which came from e-support UOY-859712.
The problem was that the vlen_max parameter
to libsrc/var.c#NC_check_vlen was of type size_t.
However, it is being called, sometimes, with values
of size X_INT64_MAX. The resulting truncation was
causing dimension failures as noted in the e-support
report.
Fix is to change the vlen_max argument (and some
local variables in NC_check_vlen) to be of declared
as unsigned long long.
The file docs/indexing.dox tries to provide design
information for the refactoring.
The primary change is to replace all walking of linked
lists with the use of the NCindex data structure.
Ncindex is a combination of a hash table (for name-based
lookup) and a vector (for walking the elements in the index).
Additionally, global vectors are added to NC_HDF5_FILE_INFO_T
to support direct mapping of an e.g. dimid to the NC_DIM_INFO_T
object. These global vectors exist for dimensions, types, and groups
because they have globally unique id numbers.
WARNING:
1. since libsrc4 and libsrchdf4 share code, there are also
changes in libsrchdf4.
2. Any outstanding pull requests that change libsrc4 or libhdf4
are likely to cause conflicts with this code.
3. The original reason for doing this was for performance improvements,
but as noted elsewhere, this may not be significant because
the meta-data read performance apparently is being dominated
by the hdf5 library because we do bulk meta-data reading rather
than lazy reading.

Expand the NC_INMEMORY capabilities to support writing and accessing
the final modified memory.
Three new functions have been added:
nc_open_memio, nc_create_mem, and nc_close_memio.
The following new capabilities were added.
1. nc_open_memio() allows the NC_WRITE mode flag
so a chunk of memory can be passed in and be modified
2. nc_create_mem() allows the NC_INMEMORY flag to be set
to cause the created file to be kept in memory.
3. nc_close_mem() allows the final in-memory contents to be
retrieved at the time the file is closed.
4. A special flag, NC_MEMIO_LOCK, is provided to ensure that
the provided memory will not be freed or reallocated.
Note the following.
1. If nc_open_memio() is called with NC_WRITE, and NC_MEMIO_LOCK is not set,
then the netcdf-c library will take control of the incoming memory.
This means that the original memory block should not be freed
but the block returned by nc_close_mem() must be freed.
2. If nc_open_memio() is called with NC_WRITE, and NC_MEMIO_LOCK is set,
then modifications to the original memory may fail if the space available
is insufficient.
Documentation is provided in the file docs/inmemory.md.
A test case is provided: nc_test/tst_inmemory.c driven by
nc_test/run_inmemory.sh
WARNING: changes were made to the dispatch table for
the close entry. From int (*close)(int) to int (*close)(int,void*).
In C, `char`, `signed char`, and `unsigned char` are three separate,
distinct types, so just because `char` happens to be signed does not
mean it is interchangeable with `signed char`.
(I hope) metadata mechanism. This mostly just adds new pieces of
code (e.g. nclistmap) and does some minor fixes.
It should be transparent to everything else.
The next set of changes will be the big step.

Notes:
1. This branch is a cleanup of the magic.dmh branch.
2. magic.dmh was originally merged, but caused problems with parallel IO.
It was re-issued as pull request https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/446.
3. This branch + pull request replace any previous pull requests and magic.dmh branch.
Given an otherwise valid netCDF file that has a corrupted header,
the netcdf library currently crashes. Instead, it should return
NC_ENOTNC.
Additionally, the NC_check_file_type code does not do the
forward search required by hdf5 files. It currently only looks
at file position 0 instead of 512, 1024, 2048,... Also, it turns
out that the HDF4 magic number is assumed to always be at the
beginning of the file (unlike HDF5).
The change is localized to libdispatch/dfile.c See
https://support.hdfgroup.org/release4/doc/DSpec_html/DS.pdf
Also, it turns out that the code in NC_check_file_type is duplicated
(mostly) in the function libsrc4/nc4file.c#nc_check_for_hdf.
This branch does the following.
1. Make NC_check_file_type return NC_ENOTNC instead of crashing.
2. Remove nc_check_for_hdf and centralize all file format checking
NC_check_file_type.
3. Add proper forward search for HDF5 files (but not HDF4 files)
to look for the magic number at offsets of 0, 512, 1024...
4. Add test tst_hdf5_offset.sh. This tests that hdf5 files with
an offset are properly recognized. It does so by prefixing
a legal file with some number of zero bytes: 512, 1024, etc.
5. Off-topic: Added -N flag to ncdump to force a specific output dataset name.
2. Factored out the parameter string parsing for ncgen and nccopy
int libdispatch/dfilter.c + include/ncfilter.h
3. Allow a parameter string to use constant types other than
unsigned int. See docs/filters.md for details.
4. Moved the old content of include/netcdf_filter.h into include/netcdf.h
and removed include/netcdf_filter.h as no longer needed.
5. Force the test filter (bzip2) in nc_test4/filter_test to
be built using BUILT_SOURCES.
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.
Getting the value of the x variable on the file corresponding to the below ncdump output
with -fsanitize=undefined raises
ncx.c:1034:14: runtime error: left shift of 128 by 24 places cannot be represented in type 'int'
This is due to *cp being promoted to int before doing the left shift, instead
of the intended unsigned. So do the cast to unsigned internally rather than
externally
ncdump file to reproduce:
netcdf temp {
dimensions:
x = 2 ;
y = 2 ;
v = 2 ;
variables:
int x(v) ;
byte y(y, x) ;

x = _, _ ;
y =

It turns out that the chunksize used in the
ncio-related code must be a multiple of eight in
size. Both memio.c and mmapio.c were
potentially violating this constraint.

This relies on the HDF5 capability to
dynamically load compression filters.
Note that a compression filter is just
a subcase of filters.
The primary user-visible changes are as follows:
1. Add a standard header "netcdf_filter.h" that defines
the necessary API extensions
2. Modify ncgen to support two new special attributes
"_Filter_ID" and "_Filter_Parameters" so that compression
can be turned on when creating a file using ncgen.
4. Add a detailed description of filtering support
to the user's guide; see the file filters.md
5. Add a test case directory for this: nc_test4/filter_test.
It is fragile and a ./configure flags (-enable-filter-test)
is defined (default disabled) to shut this off this test
to avoid spurious 'make check' failures.
Note that the HDF5 documentation is not up-to-date, so
much of what is encoded here comes from examining the
actual code in the file H5PL.c in the HDF5 source code.
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
Update utf8proc.[ch] to use the version now
maintained by the Julia Language project
(https://github.com/JuliaLang/utf8proc/blob/master/LICENSE.md).
The license for the previous version was
unacceptable for the Debian and Ubuntu release
systems. The new version both updates the code
and addresses the license issue.
It turns out that the utf8proc software we are using
was turned over to the Julia Language developers
and the license terms changed to allow modification.
(https://github.com/JuliaLang/utf8proc/blob/master/LICENSE.md).
So the fix here is as follows:
1. Wrap the library with a fixed interface: libdispatch/dutf8.c
and include/ncutf8.h.
2. Replace the existing utf8proc code with the new version
from https://github.com/JuliaLang/utf8proc.
3. Add a couple more test cases: nc_test/tst_utf8_validate.c
and nc_test_utf8_phrases.c. If/when I can find a usable
normalization test, I will incorporate that later.
The problem is that the name was being updated prior to the old
variable being removed from the hashmap. It checks whether the key and
the name of the variable being removed match, but since the name had
already been updated, the names did not match so the variable was not
removed. This patch removes the variable from the hashmap first,
then updates the name, and then adds the variable with the new name to
the hashmap.
Similar change for renaming dimensions.
