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.
to get TOPSRCDIR that avoids use of
TEST_ENVIRONMENT and makes automake and cmake
more consistent.
Basic assumption is that abs_top_srcdir (and
cmake equivalent) is known at 'make check' time,
so we can use -D flag to compile a program that
has the value of abs_top_srcdir embedded into it
as a constant.
We define two new files in ncdap_test:
1. t_srcdir.h -- provide a gettopsrcdir() function
to return the topsrcdir value to the test program.
2. topsrcdir.c -- a program that calls gettopsrcdir()
and prints its output (minus any newline) on stdout.
This is used in .sh files to get topsrcdir.
NCF-42: _Format attribute sometimes being ignored
NCF-43: Fixed unsigned long long parsing.
NCF-47: Make opendap code properly handle illegal names like "x.y" by
supressing them
NCF-49: check for uint type
NCF-50: properly handle username:pwd embedded in urls.
