Re: ANSI C complaints under MacOS X

Paul et al,
  I have had similar problems +/- with the Lahey compiler under Win32/CygWin:

  http://www.cwr.uwa.edu.au/~slawinski/work/netcdfinfo.html#WinNT
and had to make a fix for that. Unfortunately I do not remember your problem happening when I compiled the NetCDF libs on my MaxOS X box or when they are used. But then again we use the f77 bindings. 

Setup is:

  MacOS 10.1.3
  NetCDF 3.5.0
  Absoft Pro Fortran 7.0b


  FC = f77
  F90 = f90
  CPPFLAGS = -DNDEBUG -DAbsoftProFortran

The only warning or error I get is:
cc -c -O -I. -DNDEBUG -DAbsoftProFortran -DVERSION=`cat ../VERSION` libvers.c 
MEMORY:1: warning: malformed floating constant

and that I am not to worried about.

Hi group-

I am linking programs (GMT) with the netcdf library (3.5.0) under MacOS X.
The MacOS X cc compiler (based on gcc) gives warnings for
lines 190 and 193 in netcdf.h, saying

ANSI C forbids const or volatile functions

The offending lines are:

EXTERNL const char *
nc_inq_libvers(void);

EXTERNL const char *
nc_strerror(int ncerr);

I get no such warnings under Linux.  While they are just warnings and cause no
problems it is annoying to see them and if the message about ANSI C is true
then shouldn't netcdf.h take the const declarations out?

Cheers,
