Hi,
consider this: There is a bug, confirmed by several people. This occurs
in closed-source, proprietary software, and appears to be due to one
of my commits.
Despite considerable help from somebody who has access to the source,
and putting in quite a few (volunteer) hours myself, there is no
test case.
So, what to do? Close the PR as INVALID? This would be our standard
policy, correct?
FYI, the proprietary, closed-source software is SPEC, the corresponding
PR is 90539, and the friendly helper is Martin Liska.
But the problem seems to be related to netcdf (your comment #22), which
is freely available (don't know off-hand which license).
I looked at the current netcdf code, and their C interface is different
from what SPEC seems to use. So, it is either a an old version,
or SPEC changed something for some reason, or both.
Does the problem trigger with netcdf's own test programs ?
I have never built netcdf myself. Would somebody who wants to
(possibly) generate a test case then have to build 30+ versions
on the off-chance of finding something?
