strlcat provides better protection against buffer overflows.
Code is taken from the FreeBSD project source code. Specifically:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/lib/libc/string/strlcat.c
License appears to be acceptable, but needs to be checked by e.g. Debian.
Step 1:
1. Add to netcdf-c/include/ncconfigure.h to use our version
if not already available as determined by HAVE_STRLCAT in config.h.
2. Add the strlcat code to libdispatch/dstring.c
3. Turns out that strlcat was already defined in several places.
So remove it from:
ncgen3/genlib.c
ncdump/dumplib.c
3. Define strlcat extern definition in ncconfigure.h.
4. Modify following directories to use strlcat:
libdap2 libdap4 ncdap_test dap4_test
Will do others in subsequent steps.
Github issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/152
requested that "orphaned" DAS attributes be included in the netcdf
metadata as global variables. The term orphaned here meant that
they were not connected to any variable in the DDS.
This was done in pull request https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/164
However, some servers (e.g. Thredds) include attributes for variables not
specified in a constraint expression, but which exist in the full DDS.
So I was adding these to the set of global attributes, but in retrospect
this should not have been done: they should have been elided.
Solution: modify oc2 code to be more distriminatory about
which orphaned attributes to include.
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
User request to have all orphaned DAP2 attributes kept as netcdf
global attributes. This is primarily a change in the oc code
nplus testcase dataset changes.
Result may be inconsistent with netcdf-Java output.
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.
