The most critical bug is in nch5s3comms.c.
I for some reason assumed that signing keys
did not contain any zero bytes. But obviously
it can, so a test was removed.
Other fixes:
1. Guarantee allocated memory is initialized to all zeros.
2. Cleanup errmsg handling in libncpoco.
3. Fix processing of aws list-objects-v2 because I misread the syntax.
Mostly just add an explicit cast when calling `malloc` and its
variants. Sometimes instead change the type of a local variable if
this would silence multiple warnings.
One of the changes in df3636b introduced the ability to filter log
messages by level. This fixes a typo that flipped the intended
filtering, so that `NCLOGOFF` _enabled_ all messages instead of
_disabling_ them.
Prior to this PR, DAP4 always fetched the whole (constrained) dataset
This PR changes the query processing so
1. It reads data on a per-variable request (equivalent to calling nc_get_var()).
2. It tracks a response for every query.
Most of the changes reflect having to do per-variable requests.
In any case, doing all this significantly reduces the amount of data transmitted and hence speeds up DAP4 requests.
re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2748
This PR fixes a number of issues and bugs.
## s3cleanup fixes
* Delete extraneous s3cleanup.sh related files.
* Remove duplicate s3cleanup.uids entries.
## Support the Google S3 API
* Add code to recognize "storage.gooleapis.com"
* Add extra code to track the kind of server being accessed: unknown, Amazon, Google.
* Add a new mode flag "gs3" (analog to "s3") to support this api.
* Modify the S3 URL code to support this case.
* Modify the listobjects result parsing because Google returns some non-standard XML elements.
* Change signature and calls for NC_s3urlrebuild.
## Handle corrupt Zarr files where shape is empty for a variable.
Modify behavior when a variable's "shape" dictionary entry.
Previously it returned an error, but now it suppresses such a variable.
This change makes it possible to read non-corrupt data from the file.
Also added a test case.
## Misc. Other Changes
* Fix the nclog level handling to suppress output by default.
* Fix de-duplicates code in ncuri.c
* Restore testing of iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu.
* Fix bug in define_vars() which did not always do a proper reclaim between variables.
This PR started as an attempt to add unlimited dimensions to NCZarr.
It did that, but this exposed significant problems with test interference.
So this PR is mostly about fixing -- well mitigating anyway -- test
interference.
The problem of test interference is now documented in the document docs/internal.md.
The solutions implemented here are also describe in that document.
The solution is somewhat fragile but multiple cleanup mechanisms
are provided. Note that this feature requires that the
AWS command line utility must be installed.
## Unlimited Dimensions.
The existing NCZarr extensions to Zarr are modified to support unlimited dimensions.
NCzarr extends the Zarr meta-data for the ".zgroup" object to include netcdf-4 model extensions. This information is stored in ".zgroup" as dictionary named "_nczarr_group".
Inside "_nczarr_group", there is a key named "dims" that stores information about netcdf-4 named dimensions. The value of "dims" is a dictionary whose keys are the named dimensions. The value associated with each dimension name has one of two forms
Form 1 is a special case of form 2, and is kept for backward compatibility. Whenever a new file is written, it uses format 1 if possible, otherwise format 2.
* Form 1: An integer representing the size of the dimension, which is used for simple named dimensions.
* Form 2: A dictionary with the following keys and values"
- "size" with an integer value representing the (current) size of the dimension.
- "unlimited" with a value of either "1" or "0" to indicate if this dimension is an unlimited dimension.
For Unlimited dimensions, the size is initially zero, and as variables extend the length of that dimension, the size value for the dimension increases.
That dimension size is shared by all arrays referencing that dimension, so if one array extends an unlimited dimension, it is implicitly extended for all other arrays that reference that dimension.
This is the standard semantics for unlimited dimensions.
Adding unlimited dimensions required a number of other changes to the NCZarr code-base. These included the following.
* Did a partial refactor of the slice handling code in zwalk.c to clean it up.
* Added a number of tests for unlimited dimensions derived from the same test in nc_test4.
* Added several NCZarr specific unlimited tests; more are needed.
* Add test of endianness.
## Misc. Other Changes
* Modify libdispatch/ncs3sdk_aws.cpp to optionally support use of the
AWS Transfer Utility mechanism. This is controlled by the
```#define TRANSFER```` command in that file. It defaults to being disabled.
* Parameterize both the standard Unidata S3 bucket (S3TESTBUCKET) and the netcdf-c test data prefix (S3TESTSUBTREE).
* Fixed an obscure memory leak in ncdump.
* Removed some obsolete unit testing code and test cases.
* Uncovered a bug in the netcdf-c handling of big-endian floats and doubles. Have not fixed yet. See tst_h5_endians.c.
* Renamed some nczarr_tests testcases to avoid name conflicts with nc_test4.
* Modify the semantics of zmap\#ncsmap_write to only allow total rewrite of objects.
* Modify the semantics of zodom to properly handle stride > 1.
* Add a truncate operation to the libnczarr zmap code.

re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2189
The basic change is to make use of the fact that HDF5 automatically suppresses optional filters when an attempt is made to apply them to variable-length typed arrays.
This means that e.g. ncdump or nccopy will properly see meaningful data.
Note that if a filter is defined as HDF5 mandatory, then the corresponding variable will be suppressed and will be invisible to ncdump and nccopy.
This functionality is also propagated to NCZarr.
This PR makes some minor changes to PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2716 as follows:
* Move the test for filter X variable-length from dfilter.c down into the dispatch table functions.
* Make all filters for HDF5 optional rather than mandatory so that the built-in HDF5 test for filter X variable-length will be invoked.
The test case for this was expanded to verify that the filters are defined, but suppressed.

re: PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2231
re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2189
After some discussion, the issue of applying filters on variables
whose type is not fixed size, was resolved as follows:
1. A call to nc_def_var_filter will ignore such filters, but will issue a log warning.
2. Loading (from an existing file) a variable whose type is not fixed-size and which has filters, will cause the variable to be suppressed.
This PR enforces those rules.
### Misc. Other changes
* Add a test case to test the vlen change.
* Make some minor clean-ups in various cmake and automake files.
* Remove unused test
re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2704
The issue reported problems accessing e.g. opendap.earthdata.nasa.gov,
which uses the authentication mechanisms of urs.earthdata.nasa.gov.
The file *docs/auth.md* describes how to setup the proper authorization
mechanisms for earthdata, but there turned out to be some bugs
in the code that prevented this from working.
## Primary Changes
* Add some clarification text to *auth.md*.
* Fix the process for loading and merging *.ncrc* and *.dodsrc* file to conform to documentation.
* Fix *NC_s3urlrebuild* so that non-S3 urls are passed through unchanged.
* Fix a bug in the .rc test *test_rcmerge.sh*.
re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2685
re: PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2179
As noted in PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2179,
the old code did not allow for reclaiming instances of types,
nor for properly copying them. That PR provided new functions
capable of reclaiming/copying instances of arbitrary types.
However, as noted by Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2685, using these
most general functions resulted in a significant performance
degradation, even for common cases.
This PR attempts to mitigate the cost of using the general
reclaim/copy functions in two ways.
First, the previous functions operating at the top level by
using ncid and typeid arguments. These functions were augmented
with equivalent versions that used the netcdf-c library internal
data structures to allow direct access to needed information.
These new functions are used internally to the library.
The second mitigation involves optimizing the internal functions
by providing early tests for common cases. This avoids
unnecessary recursive function calls.
The overall result is a significant improvement in speed by a
factor of roughly twenty -- your mileage may vary. These
optimized functions are still not as fast as the original (more
limited) functions, but they are getting close. Additional optimizations are
possible. But the cost is a significant "uglification" of the
code that I deemed a step too far, at least for now.
## Misc. Changes
1. Added a test case to check the proper reclamation/copy of complex types.
2. Found and fixed some places where nc_reclaim/copy should have been used.
3. Replaced, in the netcdf-c library, (almost all) occurrences of nc_reclaim_copy with calls to NC_reclaim/copy. This plus the optimizations is the primary speed-up mechanism.
4. In DAP4, the metadata is held in a substrate in-memory file; this required some changes so that the reclaim/copy code accessed that substrate dispatcher rather than the DAP4 dispatcher.
5. Re-factored and isolated the code that computes if a type is (transitively) variable-sized or not.
6. Clean up the reclamation code in ncgen; adding the use of nc_reclaim exposed some memory problems.
It turns out that attempting to test S3 using a github action secret is a very complex process. So, this was disabled for github actions. However, a new *run_tests_s3.yml* action file was added that will eventually encapsulate S3 testing.
