* For URL paths, the new approach essentially centralizes all information
in the URL into the "#mode=" fragment key and uses that value
to determine the dispatcher for (most) URLs.
* The new approach has the following steps:
1. canonicalize the path if it is a URL.
2. use the mode= fragment key to determine the dispatcher
3. if dispatcher still not determined, then use the mode flags
argument to nc_open/nc_create to determine the dispatcher.
4. if the path points to something readable, attempt to read the
magic number at the front, and use that to determine the dispatcher.
this case may override all previous cases.
* Misc changes.
1. Update documentation
2. Moved some unit tests from libdispatch to unit_test directory.
3. Fixed use of wrong #ifdef macro in test_filter_reg.c
[I think this may fix an previously reported esupport query].

Currently, some of the entries in the dispatch table
are conditional'd on USE_NETCDF4.
As a step in upgrading the dispatch table for use
with user-defined tables, we remove that conditional.
This means that all dispatch tables must implement the
netcdf-4 specific functions even if only to make them
return NC_ENOTNC4. To simplify this, a set of default
functions are defined in libdispatch/dnotnc4.c to provide this
behavior. The file libdispatch/dnotnc3.c is also relevant to
this.
The primary fix is to modify the various dispatch tables to
remove the conditional and use the functions in
libdispatch/dnotnc4.c as appropriate. In practice, all of the
existing tables are prepared to handle this, so the only
real change is to remove the conditionals.
Misc. Unrelated fixes
1. Fix some annoying warnings in ncvalidator.
Notes:
1. This has not been tested with either pnetcdf or hdf4 enabled.
When those are enabled, it is possible that there are still
some conditionals that need to be fixed.
re: github issue #1425
The 'ncdump -v' command causes a constraint to be sent
to the opendap code (in libdap2). This is a separate path
from specifying the constraint via a URL.
This separate path encoded its constraint using code independent
of and duplicative of that provided by ncuri.c and this duplicate
code did not properly encode the constraint, which might include
square brackets.
Solution chosen here was to get rid of the duplicate code and
ensure that all URL escaping is performed in the ncuribuild function
in the ncuri.c file.
Also removed the use of the NEWESCAPE conditional in ncuri.c
because it is no longer needed.

1. Centralize calls to curl_global_init and curl_global_cleanup
to libdispatch/ddispatch.c
2. Make the above calls if options require curl: currently
any of DAP2, DAP4, or byterange.
3. Side issue: Fix obscure bug in mmapio.c involving non-persistent mmap.
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1373 (partial)
* Mark some global constants be const to indicate to make them easier to track.
* Hide direct access to the ncrc_globalstate behind a function call.
* Convert dispatch tables to constants (except the user defined ones)
This has some consequences in terms of function arguments needing to be marked
as const also.
* Remove some no longer needed global fields
* Aggregate all the globals in nclog.c
* Uniformly replace nc_sizevector{0,1} with NC_coord_{zero,one}

re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1329
HDF5 has the ability to programmatically define new filters,
as opposed to using HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH env variable.
This PR adds support for that feature.
Not clear how useful this is, though.
See docs/filters.md for details.
re: esupport (DVK-211460)
Turns out it was a typo in libdispatch/dauth.c
Fix is to Change:
HTTP.USERNAME -> HTTP.CREDENTIALS.USERNAME
and
HTTP.PASSWORD-> HTTP.CREDENTIALS.PASSWORD
So, fixed the following:
1. Forgot to check for NC_FORMATX_PNETCDF case
in one of the switches in NC_infermodel.
2. Accidentally turned on both the NC_64BIT_OFFSET
and the NC_64BIT_DATA mode flags.

re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1251
Assume that you have the URL to a remote dataset
which is a normal netcdf-3 or netcdf-4 file.
This PR allows the netcdf-c to read that dataset's
contents as a netcdf file using HTTP byte ranges
if the remote server supports byte-range access.
Originally, this PR was set up to access Amazon S3 objects,
but it can also access other remote datasets such as those
provided by a Thredds server via the HTTPServer access protocol.
It may also work for other kinds of servers.
Note that this is not intended as a true production
capability because, as is known, this kind of access to
can be quite slow. In addition, the byte-range IO drivers
do not currently do any sort of optimization or caching.
An additional goal here is to gain some experience with
the Amazon S3 REST protocol.
This architecture and its use documented in
the file docs/byterange.dox.
There are currently two test cases:
1. nc_test/tst_s3raw.c - this does a simple open, check format, close cycle
for a remote netcdf-3 file and a remote netcdf-4 file.
2. nc_test/test_s3raw.sh - this uses ncdump to investigate some remote
datasets.
This PR also incorporates significantly changed model inference code
(see the superceded PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1259).
1. It centralizes the code that infers the dispatcher.
2. It adds support for byte-range URLs
Other changes:
1. NC_HDF5_finalize was not being properly called by nc_finalize().
2. Fix minor bug in ncgen3.l
3. fix memory leak in nc4info.c
4. add code to walk the .daprc triples and to replace protocol=
fragment tag with a more general mode= tag.
Final Note:
Th inference code is still way too complicated. We need to move
to the validfile() model used by netcdf Java, where each
dispatcher is asked if it can process the file. This decentralizes
the inference code. This will be done after all the major new
dispatchers (PIO, Zarr, etc) have been implemented.
Primary fixes to get -ansi to work.
1. Convert all '//' C++ style comments to /*...*/ or to use #if 0...#endif
2. It turns out that when -ansi is specified, then a number of
functions no longer are defined in the header -- but they are still
in the .so file.<br>
The big example is strdup(). So, added code to include/ncconfig.h to define
externs for those missing functions that occur in more than one place.
These are enabled if !_WIN32 && __STDC__ == 1 (__STDC__ is supposed to
be the equivalent compile time flag to -ansi). Note that this requires
config.h (which references ncconfig.h) to be included in files where it is
currently not included. Single uses will be only in the file that uses them.
3. Added mmap test for the MAP_ANONYMOUS flag to configure.ac. Apparently
this is not always defined with -ansi.
4. fix some large integer constants in nc_test4/tst_atts3.c and nc_test4/tst_filterparser.c
to avoid compiler complaints.
5. fix a double constant in nc_test4/tst_filterparser.c to avoid compiler complaints.
[Note I suspect #4 and #5 will be a problem on big-endian machines, but we have no way to test]
Misc. Changes:
1. convert more instances of _MSC_VER to _WIN32.
2. added some debugging code to include/nctestserver.h
3. added comment about libdispatch/drc.c always being compiled.
4. modify parser generation in ncgen to remove unneeded files.
This is a follow up to PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1173
Sorry that it is so big, but leak suppression can be complex.
This PR fixes all remaining memory leaks -- as determined by
-fsanitize=address, and with the exceptions noted below.
Unfortunately. there remains a significant leak that I cannot
solve. It involves vlens, and it is unclear if the leak is
occurring in the netcdf-c library or the HDF5 library.
I have added a check_PROGRAM to the ncdump directory to show the
problem. The program is called tst_vlen_demo.c To exercise it,
build the netcdf library with -fsanitize=address enabled. Then
go into ncdump and do a "make clean check". This should build
tst_vlen_demo without actually executing it. Then do the
command "./tst_vlen_demo" to see the output of the memory
checker. Note the the lost malloc is deep in the HDF5 library
(in H5Tvlen.c).
I am temporarily working around this error in the following way.
1. I modified several test scripts to not execute known vlen tests
that fail as described above.
2. Added an environment variable called NC_VLEN_NOTEST.
If set, then those specific tests are suppressed.
This should mean that the --disable-utilities option to
./configure should not need to be set to get a memory leak clean
build. This should allow for detection of any new leaks.
Note: I used an environment variable rather than a ./configure
option to control the vlen tests. This is because it is
temporary (I hope) and because it is a bit tricky for shell
scripts to access ./configure options.
Finally, as before, this only been tested with netcdf-4 and hdf5 support.
https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1168https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1163https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1162
This PR partially fixes memory leaks in the netcdf-c library,
in the ncdump utility, and in some test cases.
The netcdf-c library now runs memory clean with the assumption
that the --disable-utilities option is used. The primary remaining
problem is ncgen. Once that is fixed, I believe the netcdf-c library
will run memory clean with no limitations.
Notes
-----------
1. Memory checking was performed using gcc -fsanitize=address.
Valgrind-based testing has yet to be performed.
2. The pnetcdf, hdf4, and examples code has not been tested.
Misc. Non-leak changes
1. Make tst_diskless2 only run when netcdf4 is enabled (issue 1162)
2. Fix CmakeLists.txt to turn off logging if ENABLE_NETCDF_4 is OFF
3. Isolated all my debug scripts into a single top-level directory
called debug
4. Fix some USE_NETCDF4 dependencies in nc_test and nc_test4 Makefile.am
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1154
Inadvertently, the behavior of NC_DISKLESS with nc_create() was
changed in release 4.6.1. Previously, the NC_WRITE flag needed
to be explicitly used with NC_DISKLESS in order to cause the
created file to be persisted to disk.
Additional analyis indicated that the current NC_DISKLESS
implementation was seriously flawed.
This PR attempts to clean up and regularize the situation with
respect to NC_DISKLESS control. One important aspect of diskless
operation is that there are two different notions of write.
1. The file is read-write vs read-only when using the netcdf API.
2. The file is persisted or not to disk at nc_close().
Previously, these two were conflated. The rules now are
as follows.
1. NC_DISKLESS + NC_WRITE means that the file is read/write using the netcdf API
2. NC_DISKLESS + NC_PERSIST means that the file is persisted to a disk file at nc_close.
3. NC_DISKLESS + NC_PERSIST + NC_WRITE means both 1 and 2.
The NC_PERSIST flag is new and takes over the obsolete NC_MPIPOSIX flag.
NC_MPIPOSIX is still defined, but is now an alias for the NC_MPIIO flag.
It is also now the case that for netcdf-4, NC_DISKLESS is independent
of NC_INMEMORY and in fact it is an error to specify both flags
simultaneously.
Finally, the MMAP code was fixed to use NC_PERSIST as well.
Also marked MMAP as deprecated.
Also added a test case to test various combinations of NC_DISKLESS,
NC_PERSIST, and NC_WRITE.
This PR affects a number of files and especially test cases
that used NC_DISKLESS.
Misc. Unrelated fixes
1. fixed some warnings in ncdump/dumplib.c
re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1151
Modify DAP2 and DAP4 code to handle case when _FillValue type is not
same as the parent variable type.
Specifically:
1. Define a parameter [fillmismatch] to allow this mismatch;
default is to disallow.
2. If allowed, forcibly change the type of the _FillValue to match
the parent variable.
3. If allowed Convert the values to match new type
4. Generate a log message
5. if not allowed, then fail
Implementing this required some changes to ncdap_test/dapcvt.c
Also added test cases.
Minor Unrelated Changes:
1. There were a number of warnings about e.g.
assigning a const char* to a char*. Fix these
2. In nccopy.1, replace .NP with .IP "n"
(re PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1144)
3. fix minor error in ncdump/ocprint
1. When model is detected as NC_FORMATX_NC3 and is called from
nc_create_par, change the model to NC_FORMATX_PNETCDF.
2. When called from nc_create() or nc_open(), using NC_MPIIO or
NC_MPIPOSIX is considered invalid.
3. Handle the case when NETCDF4 is not enabled but cmode/omode
contains NC_NETCDF4.
4. Handle the case when PNETCDF is not enabled but cmode/omode
contains NC_PNETCDF.
5. Correct comments about PnetCDF only handles CDF-5 files.
6. Add a check for MPI_ERR_NO_SUCH_FILE error class.
Make NC_check_file_type() static, as it is used in dfile.c only.
using NC_MPIIO or NC_MPIPOSIX explicitly is not necessary.
These 2 subroutines call NC_create() and NC_open() with argument
useparallel set to 1, which should be used to tell which I/O
driver to use underneath.
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/972
The current szip plugin code in the HDF5 library has some
unexpected behaviors that require some changes to how
nc_inq_var_szip is implemented and to the corresponding tests:
nc_test4/{test_szip,tst_vars3}.
Specifically, the following can happen:
1. The number of parameters provided by the user will be two,
but the number of parameters returned by nc_inq_var_filter
will be four because the HDF5 code (H5Zszip) will add two
extra parameters for internal use. It turns out that the two
parameters provided when calling nc_def_var_filter correspond
to the first two parameters of the four parameters returned
by nc_inq_var_filter.
2. The nc_inq_var_szip values corresponding to the ones provided
by the caller may be different than those provided by
nc_def_var_filter. The value of the options_mask argument is
known to add additional flag bits, and the pixels_per_block
parameter may be modified.
re: github issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1111
One of the less common use cases for the in-memory feature is
apparently failing with HDF5-1.10.x. The fix is complicated and
requires significant changes to libhdf5/nc4memcb.c. The current
setup is detailed in the file docs/inmeminternal.dox.
Additionally, it was discovered that the program
nc_test/tst_inmemory.c, which is invoked by
nc_test/run_inmemory.sh, actually was failing because of the
above problem. But the failure is not detected since the script
does not return non-zero value.
Other Changes:
1. Fix nc_test_tst_inmemory to return errors correctly.
2. Make ncdap_tests/findtestserver.c and dap4_tests/findtestserver4.c
be generated from ncdap_test/findtestserver.c.in.
3. Make LOG() print output to stderr instead of stdout to
avoid contaminating e.g. ncdump output.
4. Modify the handling of NC_INMEMORY and NC_DISKLESS flags
to properly handle that NC_DISKLESS => NC_INMEMORY. This
affects a number of code pieces, especially memio.c.
The identifier typename is apparently a reserved word in C++.
It is used as a fieldname in the ALignment struct in
include/ncoffsets.h.
Change the field name to type_name in ncoffsets.h
and also in libdispatch/doffsets.c, which uses that field.
Add the ability to set some additional curlopt values via .daprc (aka .dodsrc).
This effects both DAP2 and DAP4 protocols.

1. CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE: Relevant to [1]. Allow user to set the read/write
buffersizes used by curl.
This is done by adding the following to .daprc (aka .dodsrc):
HTTP.READ.BUFFERSIZE=n
where n is the buffersize in bytes. There is a built-in (to curl)
limit of 512k for this value.
2. CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE (and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL):
Relevant (maybe) to [2] and [3]. Allow the user to turn on KEEPALIVE
This is done by adding the following to .daprc (aka .dodsrc):
HTTP.KEEPALIVE=on|n/m
If the value is "on", then simply enable default KEEPALIVE. If the value
is n/m, then enable KEEPALIVE and set KEEPIDLE to n and KEEPINTVL to m.
The fix includes the following changes.
1. Checking and using the default file format at file create time is now
done only when the create mode (argument cmode) does not include any
format related flags, i.e. NC_64BIT_OFFSET, NC_64BIT_DATA,
NC_CLASSIC_MODEL, and NC_NETCDF4.
2. Adjustment of cmode based on the default format is now done in
NC_create() only. The idea is to adjust cmode before entering the
dispatcher's file create subroutine.
3. Any adjustment of cmode is removed from all I/O dispatchers, i.e.
NC4_create(), NC3_create(), and NCP_create().
4. Checking for illegal cmode has been done in check_create_mode() called
in NC_create(). This commit removes the redundant checking from
NCP_create().
5. Remove PnetCDF tests in nc_test/tst_names.c, so it can focus on testing
all classic formats and netCDF4 formats.
Two new test programs are added. They can be used to test netCDF with and
without this commit.
1. nc_test/tst_default_format.c
2. nc_test/tst_default_format_pnetcdf.c (use when PnetCDF is enabled).
in the docs directory.
1. Add a new internal document -- testserver.dox -- to describe
how to set up and maintain the dap test server.
2. It moves the internal documentation (internal.dox, indexing.dox,
and testserver.dox) to later in the documentation table of contents.
3. Cleanup the formatting of the internal documents.
4. Cleanup some minor doxygen issues in other files.
