This simple program triggers a problem with the latest netcdf snapshot and hdf5 1.8.5 patch1
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <netcdf.h>
int
main()
{
int varid,ncid, x_dimid, y_dimid, retval;
retval = nc_create("test.nc", NC_NETCDF4 | NC_CLOBBER, &ncid);
retval = nc_def_dim(ncid, "x", 5, &x_dimid);
retval = nc_def_dim(ncid, "y", 2, &y_dimid);
const int dims[2] = {x_dimid, y_dimid};
retval = nc_def_var(ncid, "y", NC_FLOAT, 2, dims, &varid);
retval = nc_close(ncid);
return 0;
}
ncdump'ing the resulting file gives
ncdump test.nc
netcdf test {
dimensions:
x = 5 ;
y = 5 ;
variables:
float y(x, y) ;
data:
y =
ncdump: NetCDF: Start+count exceeds dimension bound
The program works if the output format is set to NETCDF3.
