Also repurpose existing build-time feature checks into unit test 1961,
to verify.
Prior to this patch these functions were auto-detected with both
autotools and cmake. In case of autotools there was an extra
verification phase ensuring the functions work as expected. This step
required running the function, thus was limited to non-cross-builds. For
cross-builds and CMake it always used the system implementation if
present. On Windows it always used the local implementation, because
availability/use is complicated there.
After this patch all platforms, always use the local implementation,
which is known to be accurate. This makes curl behave more consistently,
and simplifies the build process, a fixes cross-builds and CMake
auto-detection differences.
Also:
- test1960: enable unconditionally.
- checksrc: disallow globally, allowlist in `block_ip.c` example.
- dnsd: verify ntop result for NULL before passing to printf.

Aka `HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE`.

Assuming this commit implemented this feature:
21fcee4d6e (diff-498ff649e8770eb9a94e99a399a4b473fcea41ef58b033a2a2dae3809e17bb04)
Prior to this patch it was enabled in autotools by accident, because
its host ID misses `bsd` so the global BSD disable was not applied.
- autotools: fix to enable for Darwin 9+ / macOS 10.5+ (2007-10-26).
Prior to this patch it was Darwin 6 / macOS 10.2.
Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/70112
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_version_history
10.5 was the first one UNIX '03 certified, which requires this
feature. iOS and others were forked from this codebase, so they also
have support.
- cmake: add version numbers as comments.
Sadly the OS versions are not verified. This and the autotools logic
could possibly be implemented in `curl-setup.h` more accurately, for
all build systems, without duplicating logic.
Also:
- cmake: `BSD` variable requires CMake 3.25+, add fallback code where
missing.

Extend two existing local suppressions to GCC, and add another
GCC-specific one as a replacement.
Before this patch suppressing this warning was odd with clang, because
after this option, `-Wformat=2` is used, which re-enables it.
Also:
- mprintf: minimize scope of a warning suppression.
- tests/server: suppress this warning for a system `vsnprintf()` call
where it could trigger in C89 builds or with
`CFLAGS=-DCURL_NO_FMT_CHECKS` set. Seen with Apple clang 17:
```

Ref: #20363Closes#20366
Drop separate `TrackMemory` (aka `CURLDEBUG`) debug feature.
After recent changes (thread-safety,
193cb00ce9, and updates leading up to
it), `TrackMemory` is unlikely to cause build or runtime issues.
To simplify builds and debug options, enable `TrackMemory`
unconditionally for debug-enabled (aka `DEBUGBUILD`) builds. Before
this patch, this was already the default, with an option to disable
it, or enable it in non-debug-enabled builds.
Note, in practice these two debug options already went hand in hand. It
was not possible to toggle them separately for a long time due to bugs,
before 59dc9f7e69 (2024-05-28) fixed it.
This patch also removes/deprecates separate knobs and feature flags for
`TrackMemory`:
- autotools: `--enable-curldebug`/`--disable-curldebug`
- cmake: `-DENABLE_CURLDEBUG=ON`/`OFF`
- C macro: `CURLDEBUG`
- libcurl: `CURL_VERSION_CURLDEBUG` symbol deprecated in favor
of `CURL_VERSION_DEBUG`. They always return the same value after this
patch.
Also:
- drop `TrackMemory` from `curl -V` output.
- rename internal `CURLDEBUG` macro to `CURL_MEMDEBUG` internally.
To avoid confusion with `DEBUGBUILD`, but to keep guarding
`TrackMemory`-related internals for readability.
- runtests: bind `TrackMemory` to debug feature. Keep it a separate
test feature requirement, for clarity.
- CI: drop test builds for combinations of the two options.
- GHA/linux: no longer disable TrackMemory in the TSAN job.
Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/20328#issuecomment-3754528407Closes#20331
- It is slower and uses more memory than the alternatives and is only
experimental in curl.
- We disable a few tests for OpenSSL-QUIC because of flakiness
- It gets little attention from OpenSSL and we have no expectation of the
major flaws getting corrected anytime soon.
- No one has spoken up for keeping it
- curl users building with vanilla OpenSSL can still use QUIC through the
means of ngtcp2
Closes#20226
Also:
- vquic-tls.h: do not include unused headers for non-H3 builds.
- autotools: stop looking for `openssl/x509.h` header.
- cmp-config.pl: delete exception for `openssl/x509.h`.
- examples: format/comment sync between the two touched files.
- openssl: drop unused `curlx/wait.h` include.
Closes#20049
- apply more clang-format.
- lib/version: use `CURL_ARRAYSIZE()`.
- INSTALL-CMAKE.md: sync-up an option description with others.
- examples: delete unused main args.
- examples/ftpgetinfo: document `_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS` symbol.
- delete remaining stray duplicate lines.
- acinclude.m4: drop an unnecessary x-hack.
- vtls/mbedtls: join a URL split into two lines.
- src/tool_cb_see: add parentheses around macro expressions.
- src/tool_operate: move literals to the right side of comparisons.
- libtests: sync up fopen/fstat error messages between tests.
- curl_setup.h: replace `if ! defined __LP64` with `ifndef __LP64`.
I assume it makes no difference on Tandem systems, as the latter form
is already used in `include/curl/system.h`.
Closes#20018
To use the modern form when possible. The modern option also allows
using the `no-` prefix to disable.

This also automatically changes `-clang:-pedantic` to `-Wpedantic` in
clang-cl builds.
