Before this patch curl used the C preprocessor to override standard
memory allocation symbols: malloc, calloc, strdup, realloc, free.
The goal of these is to replace them with curl's debug wrappers in
`CURLDEBUG` builds, another was to replace them with the wrappers
calling user-defined allocators in libcurl. This solution needed a bunch
of workarounds to avoid breaking external headers: it relied on include
order to do the overriding last. For "unity" builds it needed to reset
overrides before external includes. Also in test apps, which are always
built as single source files. It also needed the `(symbol)` trick
to avoid overrides in some places. This would still not fix cases where
the standard symbols were macros. It was also fragile and difficult
to figure out which was the actual function behind an alloc or free call
in a specific piece of code. This in turn caused bugs where the wrong
allocator was accidentally called.
To avoid these problems, this patch replaces this solution with
`curlx_`-prefixed allocator macros, and mapping them _once_ to either
the libcurl wrappers, the debug wrappers or the standard ones, matching
the rest of the code in libtests.
This concludes the long journey to avoid redefining standard functions
in the curl codebase.
Note: I did not update `packages/OS400/*.c` sources. They did not
`#include` `curl_setup.h`, `curl_memory.h` or `memdebug.h`, meaning
the overrides were never applied to them. This may or may not have been
correct. For now I suppressed the direct use of standard allocators
via a local `.checksrc`. Probably they (except for `curlcl.c`) should be
updated to include `curl_setup.h` and use the `curlx_` macros.
This patch changes mappings in two places:
- `lib/curl_threads.c` in libtests: Before this patch it mapped to
libcurl allocators. After, it maps to standard allocators, like
the rest of libtests code.
- `units`: before this patch it mapped to standard allocators. After, it
maps to libcurl allocators.
Also:
- drop all position-dependent `curl_memory.h` and `memdebug.h` includes,
and delete the now unnecessary headers.
- rename `Curl_tcsdup` macro to `curlx_tcsdup` and define like the other
allocators.
- map `curlx_strdup()` to `_strdup()` on Windows (was: `strdup()`).
To fix warnings silenced via `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE`.
- multibyte: map `curlx_convert_*()` to `_strdup()` on Windows
(was: `strdup()`).
- src: do not reuse the `strdup` name for the local replacement.
- lib509: call `_strdup()` on Windows (was: `strdup()`).
- test1132: delete test obsoleted by this patch.
- CHECKSRC.md: update text for `SNPRINTF`.
- checksrc: ban standard allocator symbols.

Description of how this works in `docs/internal/RATELIMITS.ms`.
Notable implementation changes:
- KEEP_SEND_PAUSE/KEEP_SEND_HOLD and KEEP_RECV_PAUSE/KEEP_RECV_HOLD
no longer exist. Pausing is down via blocked the new rlimits.
- KEEP_SEND_TIMED no longer exists. Pausing "100-continue" transfers
is done in the new `Curl_http_perform_pollset()` method.
- HTTP/2 rate limiting implemented via window updates. When
transfer initiaiting connection has a ratelimit, adjust the
initial window size
- HTTP/3 ngtcp2 rate limitin implemnented via ack updates
- HTTP/3 quiche does not seem to support this via its API
- the default progress-meter has been improved for accuracy
in "current speed" results.
pytest speed tests have been improved.
Closes#19384
Add new functions in `curlx/warnless.h` for controlled type

* curlx_sztouz, convert ssize_t to size_t, return TRUE when ok
* curlx_sotouz_range, convert curl_off_t to size_t interval, capping
values to interval bounds
Remove some unnecesary casts, convert some internal recv functions
to the "return result, have size_t* arg" pattern.
Closes#19495
Some internal functions always return CURLE_OK.
- Curl_http_proxy_get_destination() does that from bb4032a, (2 years

- Curl_initinfo() does that from a very beginning.
- Curl_pgrsSetDownloadCounter() did not have a return before 914e49b,
ad051e1 recovered its content (2 years ago) but did not completely
recovered the changes related to it.
- auth_digest_get_qop_values() does that from 676de7f.
This directly changes their type to void and cleaned the remaining
checks for their return value.
Closes#19386
After this patch, the codebase no longer overrides system printf

`-Weverything` is not enabled by curl, and not recommended by LLVM,
because it may enable experimental options, and will result in new
fallouts after toolchain upgrades. This patch aims to fix/silence as much
as possible as found with llvm/clang 21.1.0. It also permanently enables
warnings that were fixed in source and deemed manageable in the future.
`-Wformat` warnings are addressed separately via #18343.
Fix/silence warnings in the source:
- typecheck-gcc.h: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- lib: silence `-Wcast-function-type-strict`.
For llvm 16+ or Apple clang 16+.
- asyn-ares: limit `HAPPY_EYEBALLS_DNS_TIMEOUT` to old c-ares versions.
- curl_trc: fix `-Wc++-hidden-decl`.

- openssl: scope `OSSL_UI_METHOD_CAST` to avoid unused macro warning.
- libssh2, wolfssl: drop unused macros.
- curl_ngtcp2, curl_quiche, httpsrr, urlapi: drop/limit unused macros.
- tool_getparam: fix useless `break;` after `return;` or `break;`.

It's not worth trying to silence them individually.
- `-Wnonportable-system-include-path` with `clang-cl`.
It'd be broken by doing what the warning suggests.
- `-Wformat-non-iso` for clang-cl.
CMake `PICKY_COMPILER=ON` (the default) or `./configure`
`--enable-warnings` (not the default) is required to enable these

Move curlx_ functions into its own subdir.
The idea is to use the curlx_ prefix proper on these functions, and use
these same function names both in tool, lib and test suite source code.
Stop the previous special #define setup for curlx_ names.
The printf defines are now done for the library alone. Tests no longer
use the printf defines. The tool code sets its own defines. The printf
functions are not curlx, they are publicly available.
The strcase defines are not curlx_ functions and should not be used by
tool or server code.
dynbuf, warnless, base64, strparse, timeval, timediff are now proper
curlx functions.
When libcurl is built statically, the functions from the library can be
used as-is. The key is then that the functions must work as-is, without
having to be recompiled for use in tool/tests. This avoids symbol
collisions - when libcurl is built statically, we use those functions
directly when building the tool/tests. When libcurl is shared, we
build/link them separately for the tool/tests.

The line conversion reader, added in crfl and prefer_ascii mode was

The issues found fell into these categories, with the applied fixes:
- const was accidentally stripped.
Adjust code to not cast or cast with const.
- const/volatile missing from arguments, local variables.
Constify arguments or variables, adjust/delete casts. Small code
changes in a few places.
- const must be stripped because an API dependency requires it.
Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
of our control. These happen at API boundaries. Sometimes they depend
on dependency version, which this patch handles as necessary. Also
enable const support for the zlib API, using `ZLIB_CONST`. Supported
by zlib 1.2.5.2 and newer.
- const must be stripped because a curl API requires it.
Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
of our immediate control. For example we promise to send a non-const
argument to a callback, though the data is const internally.
- other cases where we may avoid const stripping by code changes.
Also silenced with `CURL_UNCONST()`.
- there are 3 places where `CURL_UNCONST()` is cast again to const.
To silence this type of warning:
```
lib/vquic/curl_osslq.c:1015:29: error: to be safe all intermediate
pointers in cast from 'unsigned char **' to 'const unsigned char **'
must be 'const' qualified [-Werror=cast-qual]
lib/cf-socket.c:734:32: error: to be safe all intermediate pointers in
cast from 'char **' to 'const char **' must be 'const' qualified
[-Werror=cast-qual]
```
There may be a better solution, but I couldn't find it.
These cases are handled in separate subcommits, but without further
markup.
If you see a `-Wcast-qual` warning in curl, we appreciate your report
about it.
Closes#16142
Adds a "cw-pause" client writer in the PROTOCOL phase that buffers
output when the client paused the transfer. This prevents content
decoding from blowing the buffer in the "cw-out" writer.
Added test_02_35 that downloads 2 100MB gzip bombs in parallel and
pauses after 1MB of decoded 0's.
This is a solution to issue #16280, with some limitations:
- cw-out still needs buffering of its own, since it can be paused
"in the middle" of a write that started with some KB of gzipped
zeros and exploded into several MB of calls to cw-out.
- cw-pause will then start buffering on its own *after* the write
that caused the pause. cw-pause has no buffer limits, but the
data it buffers is still content-encoded.
Protocols like http/1.1 stop receiving, h2/h3 have window sizes,
so the cw-pause buffer should not grow out of control, at least
for these protocols.
- the current limit on cw-out's buffer is ~75MB (for whatever
historical reason). A potential content-encoding that blows 16KB
(the common h2 chunk size) into > 75MB would still blow the buffer,
making the transfer fail. A gzip of 0's makes 16KB into ~16MB, so
that still works.
A better solution would be to allow CURLE_AGAIN handling in the client
writer chain and make all content encoders handle that. This would stop
explosion of encoding on a pause right away. But this is a large change
of the deocoder operations.

Move all handling of HTTP's `Expect: 100-continue` feature into a client
reader. Add sending flag `KEEP_SEND_TIMED` that triggers transfer
sending on general events like a timer.
HTTP installs a `CURL_CR_PROTOCOL` reader when announcing `Expect:
100-continue`. That reader works as follows:
- on first invocation, records time, starts the `EXPIRE_100_TIMEOUT`
timer, disables `KEEP_SEND`, enables `KEEP_SEND_TIMER` and returns 0,
eos=FALSE like a paused upload.
- on subsequent invocation it checks if the timer has expired. If so, it
enables `KEEP_SEND` and switches to passing through reads to the
underlying readers.
Transfer handling's `readwrite()` will be invoked when a timer expires
(like `EXPIRE_100_TIMEOUT`) or when data from the server arrives. Seeing
`KEEP_SEND_TIMER`, it will try to upload more data, which triggers
reading from the client readers again. Which then may lead to a new
pausing or cause the upload to start.
Flags and timestamps connected to this have been moved from
`SingleRequest` into the reader's context.
