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).
Add a new function called nc_inq_format_extended that
returns more detailed format information (vis-a-vis
nc_inq_format) about an open dataset.
Note that the netcdf API will present the file as if it had
the format specified by nc_inq_format. The true file
format, however, may not even be a netcdf file; it might be
DAP, HDF4, or PNETCDF, for example. This function returns
that true file type. It also returns the effective mode for
the file.
signature: nc_inq_format_extended(int ncid, int* formatp, int* modep)
where
* ncid is the NetCDF ID from a previous call to nc_open() or
nc_create().
* formatp is a pointer to a location for returned true format.
* modep is a pointer to a location for returned mode flags.
Refer to the actual list in the file netcdf.h to see the
currently defined set.
Also added test cases (tst_formatx*).
to clean up resources properly on failure.
Refactored doubly-linked list code for objects in the libsrc4 directory,
cleaning up the add/del routines, breaking out the common next/prev
pointers into a struct and extracting the add/del operations on them,
changed the list of dims to add new dims in the same order as the other
types, made all add routines able to optionally return a pointer to the
newly created object.
Removed some dead code (pg_var(), nc4_pg_var1(), nc4_pg_varm(), misc. small
routines, etc)
Fixed fill value handling for string types in nc4_get_vara().
Changed many malloc()+strcpy() pairs into calls to strdup().
Cleaned up misc. other minor Coverity issues.
group renaming. The primary API
is 'nc_rename_grp(int grpid, const char* name)'.
No test cases provided yet.
This also required adding a rename_grp entry
to the dispatch tables.
netCDF classic or 64-bit offset files that have a UINT32_MAX flag for
large last record size of a variable that has values larger than 1
byte. This problem had previously been fixed for *writing* such data,
but was only tested with an ncbyte variable. Fixed test to
demonstrate problem and the fix.
More updates to chunking documentation, cosmetic fixes for some
"--option=" documentation that doxygen turns into mdash.
for JIRA issue NCF-241.
This is only temporary
until I can make pnetcdf
operate as a separate dispatch table.
Also, fix nc_test4/tst_pnetcdf
to open with nc_open_par;
this is necessary because a pnetcdf
created file cannot be opened
as a netcdf classic file.
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.
