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
re: github issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1111
One of the less common use cases for the in-memory feature is
apparently failing with HDF5-1.10.x. The fix is complicated and
requires significant changes to libhdf5/nc4memcb.c. The current
setup is detailed in the file docs/inmeminternal.dox.
Additionally, it was discovered that the program
nc_test/tst_inmemory.c, which is invoked by
nc_test/run_inmemory.sh, actually was failing because of the
above problem. But the failure is not detected since the script
does not return non-zero value.
Other Changes:
1. Fix nc_test_tst_inmemory to return errors correctly.
2. Make ncdap_tests/findtestserver.c and dap4_tests/findtestserver4.c
be generated from ncdap_test/findtestserver.c.in.
3. Make LOG() print output to stderr instead of stdout to
avoid contaminating e.g. ncdump output.
4. Modify the handling of NC_INMEMORY and NC_DISKLESS flags
to properly handle that NC_DISKLESS => NC_INMEMORY. This
affects a number of code pieces, especially memio.c.
stored in the _NCProperties attribute to allow two things:
1. capture of additional library dependencies (over and above
hdf5)
2. Recognition of non-netcdf libraries that create netcdf-4 format
files.
To this end, the _NCProperties format has been extended to be
and arbitrary set of key=value pairs separated by commas.
This new format has version = 2, and uses commas as the pair separator.
Thus the general form is:
_NCProperties = "version=2,key1=value,key2=value2..." ;
This new version is accompanied by a new ./configure option of the form
--with-ncproperties="key1=value1,key2=value2..."
that specifies pairs to add to the _NCProperties attribute for all
files created with that netcdf library.
At this point, what is missing is some programmatic way to
specify either all the pairs or additional pairs
to the _NCProperties attribute. Not sure of the best way
to do this.
Builders using non-netcdf libraries can specify
whatever they want in the key value pairs (as long
as the version=2 is specified first).
By convention, the primary library is expected to be the
the first pair after the leading version=2 pair, but this
is convention only and is neither required nor enforced.
Related changes:
1. Fixed the tests that check _NCProperties to properly operate with version=2.
2. When reading a version 1 _NCProperties attribute, convert it to look
like a version 2 attribute.
2. Added some version 2 tests to ncdump/tst_fileinfo.c and
ncdump/tst_fileinfo.sh
Misc Changes:
1. Fix minor problem in ncdap_test/testurl.sh where a parameter to
buildurl needed to be quoted.
2. Minor fix to ncgen to swap switches -H and -h to be consistent
with other utilities.
3. Document the -M flag in nccopy usage() and the nccopy man page.
4. Modify a test case to use the nccopy -M flag.
