re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1584
Support has been added for multiple filters per variable. This
affects a number of components in netcdf. The new APIs are
documented in NUG/filters.md.
The primary changes are:
* A set of new functions are provided (see __include/netcdf_filter.h__).
- Obtain a list of the filters associated with a variable
- Obtain the parameters for a specific filter.
* The existing __nc_inq_var_filter__ function now returns info
about the first defined filter.
* The utilities (ncgen, ncdump, and nccopy) now support
an extended format for specifying a sequence of filters.
The general form is __<filter>|<filter>..._.
* The ncdump **_Filter** attribute now dumps a list of all the
filters associated with a variable using the above new format.
* Filter specifications can now use a filter name instead of number
for filters known to the netcdf library, which in turn is taken
from the HDF5 filter registration page.
* New errors are defined: NC_EFILTER and NC_ENOFILTER. The latter
is returned if an attempt is made to access an unknown filter.
* Internally, the dispatch table has been extended to add a function
to handle all of the filter functions.
* New, filter-related, tests were added to nc_test4.
* A new plugin was added to the plugins directory to help with testing.
Notes:
1. The shuffle and fletcher32 filters are not part of the multifilter system.
Misc. changes:
1. A debug module was added to libhdf5 to help catch error locations.
* 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].
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1408
1. Add some function tests to configure.ac; these are functions
not defined with -ansi.
2. When using -ansi, fix include/ncconfigure.h to check for
the possibilty that certain functions are being defined
by macros. Apparently Debian does this for some reason.
No idea why.
Unrelated: modify the debug/cf.cmake debug shell script.
supercede PR: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1384
Since we have an mmap user, undeprecate it and make sure
it works. Other changes:
* fix test cases to work with make -j
* fix exposed ncgen error.
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}
* Uniformly replace nc_ptrdffvector1 with NC_stride_one
* Remove some obsolete code
Add Wei-King Liao's ncvalidator program (with his permission) as
an uninstalled (for now) tool in the ncdump directory. It has in
the past been useful for debugging netcdf-3 files.
A user suggested that the nccopy -F option
syntax should be extended to support specification
of multiple (or all) variables in a single -F option.
The new syntax allows:
1. '*' as the name of the variable; this means apply the
filter to all variables in the data set.
2. *var1|var2|...* as the variable name to indicate that the filter
should be applied to the multiple specified variables.
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.
re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1233
Changes:
1. remove exit that was there for testing.
2. the program tst_open_mem must be netcdf-4 only.
3. fix some diff problems
- Change dataset name for tst_inmemory4_create to tst_inmemory4
- Modify tst_inmemory.c to reorder the variables (somewhat major rewrite)
Minor Unrelated Fixes:
1. fix comment problem in nc_provenance.h
2. Fix memory leak in tst_open_mem.c
3. fix ncdump/bindata.c to properly compile if netcdf4 is disabled.
4. minor changes to ncgen.l
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
