Re: [netcdfgroup] [netCDF #ESO-530060]: dimension bug

This simple program triggers a problem with the latest netcdf snapshot

{
int varid,ncid, x_dimid, y_dimid, retval;
retval = nc_create("test.nc", NC_NETCDF4 | NC_CLOBBER,&ncid);

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.

Howdy Jeff,

This is now fixed in the snapshot release. Thanks for finding it and letting me
