With Intel 17.0.0, I'm getting warnings like:

ncDim.h(47): warning #858: type qualifier on return type is meaningless
const int getId() const {return myId;};

for every include of <netcdf>. Is there any reason why a const int is returned instead of a int?

The compiler is correct. The const qualifier is only
meaningful on pointers or structs. Primitive types
like int char float are immutable by nature.

Are there any plans to fix this? I hate unnecessary warnings as they tend to hide other more important problems/warnings.

I can't test a fix for Intel because I don't have access to the intel compiler but it seems straight-forward. I'll make the change (most likely early next week) and hopefully that will fix things!

Great, thanks in advance. Let me know if I can test anything with Intel.

I've updated the header file and code; let me know if I've missed something, otherwise I'll close this out shortly. You can test using the master branch, and I will being preparing the 4.3.1 release for sometime in the near future.

\Brief Release notes file for the netcdf-cxx4 package.

This file contains a high-level description of this package's
evolution. Releases are in reverse chronological order (most recent
first).

Note that this file was created and maintained starting with the `netcdf-cxx4 4.3.0 release`.

## netCDF-CXX4 4.3.2 TBD

## netCDF-CXX4 v4.3.1 September 11, 2019

### Requirements

* netCDF-C 4.6.0 or greater

### Changes

* [Enhancement] Added cmake support to distribution files created by `make dist`.

* [Bug Fix] Added `ncFile::create()`, also added a new `open` function
  and constructor to allow for more flexibility when opening a file.
  See [GitHub #55](Unidata/netcdf-cxx4#55)
  for more information.

* [Enhancement] Addressed an issue reported with `Intel Compilers
  17.0.0`. See [GitHub
  #41](Unidata/netcdf-cxx4#41) for more
  information.

* [Enhancement] Updated how `configure` determines information about
  the existing netCDF-C install.  See [GitHub pull request
  #39](Unidata/netcdf-cxx4#39) for more
  information.

* Corrected an issue where cmake-based builds weren't generating
  `ncxx4-config`.  See [GitHub pull request
  #37](Unidata/netcdf-cxx4#37) for more
  information.


## netcdf-cxx4 v4.3.0 released May 13, 2016

* Fixed an issue where the tests were failing silently, and the
  underlying `NcType` class could not properly determine the type name
  or type size reliably. See [GitHub issue
  #30](Unidata/netcdf-cxx4#30) for more
  information.

* Changed `NCXX_ENABLE_DOXYGEN` option to an easier-to-remember `ENABLE_DOXYGEN`.

* Added `--enable-doxygen`, `-DNCXX_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=ON` options to
  allow generation of netCDF-CXX4 documentation via doxygen using
  either `configure` or `cmake`, respectively.

* Added `netcdf-cxx4` to the [Coverity Scan
  Dashboard](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/unidata-netcdf-cxx4?tab=overview).

* Added `open` and `close` methods for NcFile.  See [Github Pull
  Request #18](Unidata/netcdf-cxx4#18) for
  more information.

* Added `netcdf-cxx4` to travis-ci.org.  See
  [https://travis-ci.org/Unidata/netcdf-cxx4](https://travis-ci.org/Unidata/netcdf-cxx4)
  for more details.

* Added `NcCompoundType` methods `getMemberName` and `getMemberIndex`.
  See [Pull Request
  #19](Unidata/netcdf-cxx4#19) for more
  details.

* Added  `cmake` support  to  `netcdf-cxx4`, which  will  allow us  to
  create a  `CDash` continuous integration dashboard  similar to those
  created for the `netcdf-c` and `netcdf-fortran` projects.

* Added a `travis-ci` configuration file, `.travis.yml`.

* Created `RELEASE_NOTES.md`.
