Partially address: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1056 Currently, some of the entries in the dispatch table are conditional'd on USE_NETCDF4. As a step in upgrading the dispatch table for use with user-defined tables, we remove that conditional. This means that all dispatch tables must implement the netcdf-4 specific functions even if only to make them return NC_ENOTNC4. To simplify this, a set of default functions are defined in libdispatch/dnotnc4.c to provide this behavior. The file libdispatch/dnotnc3.c is also relevant to this. The primary fix is to modify the various dispatch tables to remove the conditional and use the functions in libdispatch/dnotnc4.c as appropriate. In practice, all of the existing tables are prepared to handle this, so the only real change is to remove the conditionals. Misc. Unrelated fixes 1. Fix some annoying warnings in ncvalidator. Notes: 1. This has not been tested with either pnetcdf or hdf4 enabled. When those are enabled, it is possible that there are still some conditionals that need to be fixed. |

Unidata NetCDF
About
The Unidata network Common Data Form (netCDF) is an interface for scientific data access and a freely-distributed software library that provides an implementation of the interface. The netCDF library also defines a machine-independent format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface, library, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data. The current netCDF software provides C interfaces for applications and data. Separate software distributions available from Unidata provide Java, Fortran, Python, and C++ interfaces. They have been tested on various common platforms.
Properties
NetCDF files are self-describing, network-transparent, directly
accessible, and extendible. Self-describing means that a netCDF file
includes information about the data it contains. Network-transparent
means that a netCDF file is represented in a form that can be accessed
by computers with different ways of storing integers, characters, and
floating-point numbers. Direct-access means that a small subset of a
large dataset may be accessed efficiently, without first reading through
all the preceding data. Extendible means that data can be appended to
a netCDF dataset without copying it or redefining its structure.
Use
NetCDF is useful for supporting access to diverse kinds of scientific data in heterogeneous networking environments and for writing application software that does not depend on application-specific formats. For information about a variety of analysis and display packages that have been developed to analyze and display data in netCDF form, see
