This consists of a persistent attribute named
_NCProperties plus two computed attributes
_IsNetcdf4 and _SuperblockVersion.
See the 'Provenance Attributes' section
of docs/attribute_conventions.md for details.
The code for handling character constants
in datalists in ncgen has some problems.
1. It failed on large constants
2. It did not handle e.g. var = 'a', 'b', ...
in the same way that ncgen3 did.
3. The code for generate.c and genchar.c needed
some refactoring to make it a little simpler
(but not simple).
Added code to verify that enum constants
(and other constants) are consistent
with the type of the variable or
attribute to which they are assigned.
This addresses the ncdump failure.
- 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.
