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/thredds/issues/1224
[note that this is an issue in thredds, but the fix is in netcdf-c]
A thredds server can encode a netcdf-4 file into DAP2
by flattening names to include the containing group path,
where the group names are separated by '/'.
But the '/' is prohibited in netcdf names even if escaped
(a decision before my time).
So, if the netcdf-c/libdap2 code encounters a DAP2 name with '/'
characters, the '/' characters are converted to the string
%2f. Unfortunately, there is a glitch, namely that converting
the leading '/' produces a name that is still illegal. This PR
modifies the code to just drop the leading '/' character.
Since 209c31d3 (Bringing config.h as generagted by cmake in line with config.h as generated by autotools., 2017-01-27)
we check that we can find the hdf5.h main include file.
But this file may reside in non-standard location so we have to search
in HDF5_INCLUDE_DIR as well.
re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1251
Assume that you have the URL to a remote dataset
which is a normal netcdf-3 or netcdf-4 file.
This PR allows the netcdf-c to read that dataset's
contents as a netcdf file using HTTP byte ranges
if the remote server supports byte-range access.
Originally, this PR was set up to access Amazon S3 objects,
but it can also access other remote datasets such as those
provided by a Thredds server via the HTTPServer access protocol.
It may also work for other kinds of servers.
Note that this is not intended as a true production
capability because, as is known, this kind of access to
can be quite slow. In addition, the byte-range IO drivers
do not currently do any sort of optimization or caching.
An additional goal here is to gain some experience with
the Amazon S3 REST protocol.
This architecture and its use documented in
the file docs/byterange.dox.
There are currently two test cases:
1. nc_test/tst_s3raw.c - this does a simple open, check format, close cycle
for a remote netcdf-3 file and a remote netcdf-4 file.
2. nc_test/test_s3raw.sh - this uses ncdump to investigate some remote
datasets.
This PR also incorporates significantly changed model inference code
(see the superceded PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1259).
1. It centralizes the code that infers the dispatcher.
2. It adds support for byte-range URLs
Other changes:
1. NC_HDF5_finalize was not being properly called by nc_finalize().
2. Fix minor bug in ncgen3.l
3. fix memory leak in nc4info.c
4. add code to walk the .daprc triples and to replace protocol=
fragment tag with a more general mode= tag.
Final Note:
Th inference code is still way too complicated. We need to move
to the validfile() model used by netcdf Java, where each
dispatcher is asked if it can process the file. This decentralizes
the inference code. This will be done after all the major new
dispatchers (PIO, Zarr, etc) have been implemented.
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.
If not building shared libraries, then the RPATH handling should not be specified. Although ignored on some compilers, the CRAY / Intel compiler will error out when installing the NetCDF executables if the RPATH settings are enabled.

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
