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.
Specific changes:
1. Add dap4 code: libdap4 and dap4_test.
Note that until the d4ts server problem is solved, dap4 is turned off.
2. Modify various files to support dap4 flags:
configure.ac, Makefile.am, CMakeLists.txt, etc.
3. Add nc_test/test_common.sh. This centralizes
the handling of the locations of various
things in the build tree: e.g. where is
ncgen.exe located. See nc_test/test_common.sh
for details.
4. Modify .sh files to use test_common.sh
5. Obsolete separate oc2 by moving it to be part of
netcdf-c. This means replacing code with netcdf-c
equivalents.
5. Add --with-testserver to configure.ac to allow
override of the servers to be used for --enable-dap-remote-tests.
6. There were multiple versions of nctypealignment code. Try to
centralize in libdispatch/doffset.c and include/ncoffsets.h
7. Add a unit test for the ncuri code because of its complexity.
8. Move the findserver code out of libdispatch and into
a separate, self contained program in ncdap_test and dap4_test.
9. Move the dispatch header files (nc{3,4}dispatch.h) to
.../include because they are now shared by modules.
10. Revamp the handling of TOPSRCDIR and TOPBUILDDIR for shell scripts.
11. Make use of MREMAP if available
12. Misc. minor changes e.g.
- #include <config.h> -> #include "config.h"
- Add some no-install headers to /include
- extern -> EXTERNL and vice versa as needed
- misc header cleanup
- clean up checking for misc. unix vs microsoft functions
13. Change copyright decls in some files to point to LICENSE file.
14. Add notes to RELEASENOTES.md
to indicate that they only work for atomic types,
not user defined types.
2. modified NCDEFAULT_{get/put}_vars to no longer use
nc_get/put_varm. They now directly use nc_get/put_vara
directly. This means that nc_get/put_vars now work
properly for user defined types as well as atomic types.
3. Added test cases for get_vars/put_vars with a
user defined type. Tests placed into
nc_test/tst_compounds.c
