m4 can emit 'sync lines' which tell the toolchain "hey, this code
actually came from this other file over here". Should help prevent
anyone accidentally editing a generated file.
extract info from libnetcdf.settings
API is below.
I have made this API public yet
by adding it to netcdf.h. I will
do that when everyone is agreed on the
proper API.
extern const char* nc_settings(const char* key); /*get value of a specific key */
extern const char** nc_settings_all(); /*get all settings in envv format */
extern void nc_settings_reclaim(); /* reclaim all space and clean up */
Envv format is
{key,value}*,NULL
Also added test: nc_test/tst_settings.c
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*).
Add support for embedded NUL characters
in character arrays and added some test cases.
Note that embedded NULs in netcdf-4
string constants are still illegal. This is
because strings are not counted in the netcdf
API, so they are implicitly NUL terminated.
in code and scripts.
Fixed bug NCF-171: error reading external int into longlong or writing
from longlong array to external int on 32-bit platforms and classic
format files.
Promoted test demonstrating NCF-171 bug from longlong array from
"extra test" to "test".
range_error checks in netCDF-4 type conversion code. Made netCDF
attribute tests with type conversion more comprehensive and stringent,
fixing bugs identified with better tests. Changed a test in
nc_test/tst_atts.c to use netCDF-3 file instead of netCDF-4 file,
because that directory is supposed to be for tests that work with
--disable-netcdf-4. Added test demonstrating NCF-171 bug on 32-bit
platforms, only run when configured with --enable-extra-tests.
The in-memory files can be made persistent if nc_create is called with
NC_DISKLESS|NC_WRITE flags set. Initial test case also included.
- Modified ncio mechanism to support
multiple ncio packages; this is so we
can have posixio and memio operating
at the same time.
- cleanup up a bunch of lint issues (unused variables, etc).
