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.

Make `port` member in these struct of type `uint16_t`.
add `uint8_t transport` to `struct ip_quadruple
Define TRNSPRT_NONE as 0. By assigning a valid transport only on a
successful connection, it is clear when the ip_quadruple members are
valid. Also, for transports not involving ports, the getinfos for
`CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT` and `CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT` will now always return
-1.
Make all `transport` members and parameters of type `uint8_t`.
Document the return value of `CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT` and
`CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT` in this regard. Add tests that writeout stats
report ports correctly.
Closes#19708
Windows CRTs have a `share.h`. Before this patch when trying to
`#include <share.h>` it, the compiler picked up curl's internal
`lib/share.h` instead. Rename it to avoid this issue.
CRT `share.h` has constants necessary for using safe open CRT functions.
Also rename `lib/share.c` to keep matching the header.

Cherry-picked from #19643Closes#19676
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.

Rename `Curl_timeleft()` to `Curl_timeleft_ms()` to make the units in

Without a callback installed, notifications are not collected. Same when

After this patch, the codebase no longer overrides system printf
functions. Instead it explicitly calls either the curl printf functions
`curl_m*printf()` or the system ones using their original names.

To make the source code match the functions called at runtime.
And to avoid the preprocessor trick that may introduces build issues.
Before this patch, libtests, tunits and units were calling a mixture
of curl and system printf calls, then transformed them all to curl
printf calls by including `curl_printf.h`.
Changes made:
- tests: stop including `curl_printf.h`.
- libtest: switch a couple of outlier system printf calls to curl
printf.
- unit: use more curl printf to avoid casts and show whole values.
- unit: switch remaining calls to curl printf explicitly.
- tunit: switch to call curl printf explicitly.
- libtest, tunit, unit: ban system printf.
- unit1307, unit1607, unit1609, unit1652, unit1655, unit3214: bump
types/masks to avoid casts.
After this patch:
- libtests, tunits, units: use exclusively curl printf.
(as before, but explicitly, without relying on redefinitions.)
- servers: is unchanged (it can only use system printf).
Closes#18814
By introducing wrappers for them in the curlx namespace:
`curlx_fopen()`, `curlx_fdopen()`, `curlx_fclose()`.
The undefine/redefine/`(function)()` methods broke on systems
implementing these functions as macros. E.g. AIX 32-bit's `fopen()`.
Also:
- rename `lib/fopen.*` to `lib/curl_fopen.*` (for `Curl_fopen()`)
to make room for the newly added `curlx/fopen.h`.
- curlx: move file-related functions from `multibyte.c` to `fopen.c`.
- tests/server: stop using the curl-specific `fopen()` implementation
on Windows. Unicode isn't used by runtests, and it isn't critical to
run tests on longs path. It can be re-enabled if this becomes
necessary, or if the wrapper receives a feature that's critical for
test servers.

`-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`.
- doh: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- ftp: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- ldap: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- mqtt: comment unused macro to avoid warning.
- multi_ev: drop unused macros to avoid warnings.
- setopt: fix useless `break;` after `return;`.
- gtls, mbedtls, rustls: silence `-Wconditional-uninitialized`.
- socks_sspi, schannel, x509asn1: fix `-Wimplicit-int-enum-cast`.
- x509asn1: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- 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;`.
Not normally enabled because it doesn't work with unity.
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/71046
- tool_operate: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- curlinfo: fix a `-Wunsafe-buffer-usage`.
- tests: silence `-Wformat-non-iso`.
- lib557: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- lib1565: silence `-Wconditional-uninitialized`.
Enable the above clang warnings permanently in picky mode:
- `-Wc++-hidden-decl`
- `-Wc++-keyword` (except for Windows, where it collides with `wchar_t`)
- `-Wcast-function-type-strict`
- `-Wcast-function-type`
- `-Wconditional-uninitialized`
- `-Wformat-non-iso` (except for clang-cl)
- `-Wreserved-identifier`
- `-Wtentative-definition-compat`
Silence problematic `-Weverything` warnings globally (in picky mode):
- `-Wused-but-marked-unused` (88000+ hits) and
`-Wdisabled-macro-expansion` (2600+ hits).
Triggered by `typecheck-gcc.h` when building with clang 14+.
Maybe there exists a way to fix within that header?

- `-Wunsafe-buffer-usage`. clang 16+. 7000+ hits.
May be useful in theory, but such high volume of hits makes it
impractical to review and possibly address. Meant for C++.

`-Wcovered-switch-default` (20+ hits).
Next to impossible to fix cleanly, esp. when the covered `case`
branches depend on compile-time options.
- `-Wdocumentation-unknown-command` (8+ hits).

Sometimes it's necessary to set external macros that use
the reserved namespace. E.g. `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE`,
`__ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__`, `__NO_NET_API`,
possibly `_REENTRANT`, and more.
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
silencing rules.
Also:
- autotools, cmake: fix Apple clang and mainline llvm version translations.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode#Toolchain_versions
- autotools, cmake: enable `-Warray-compare` for clang 20+.

We used to treat 0 as "call strlen() to get the length" for
curlx_base64_encode, but it turns out this is rather fragile as we
easily do the mistake of passing in zero when the data is actually not
there and then calling strlen() is wrong.
Force the caller to pass in the correct size. A zero length input string
now returns a zero length output and a NULL pointer.
Closes#18617
`getsock()` calls operated on a global limit that could
not be configure beyond 16 sockets. This is no longer adequate
with the new happy eyeballing strategy.
Instead, do the following:
- make `struct easy_pollset` dynamic. Starting with
a minimal room for two sockets, the very common case,
allow it to grow on demand.
- replace all protocol handler getsock() calls with pollsets
and a CURLcode to return failures
- add CURLcode return for all connection filter `adjust_pollset()`
callbacks, since they too can now fail.
- use appropriately in multi.c and multi_ev.c
- fix unit2600 to trigger pollset growth
Closes#18164

- tests: move macro definitions to `first.h` headers from build level.
`CURL_NO_OLDIES`, `CURL_DISABLE_DEPRECATION`, `WITHOUT_LIBCURL`,
`CURL_STATICLIB` (for servers).
To share more logic.
Pass `CURL_STATICLIB` in server on all platforms for simplicity.
(On non-Windows, it's a no-op. It's already done like this with curlu

- lib: merge commands.
- lib: sync macro order with tests (also in `Makefile.am`).

To simplify dependencies, and sync tunits and units builds further.
`curlcheck.h` already depended on logic implemented within libtests:
it referenced a global variable (`unitfail`) defined in `first.c` and
declared in `test.h`.
Also:
- rename to `unitcheck.h` to indicate it's meant for unit tests.
- make `unitcheck.h` include `first.h` instead of `test.h`.
This brings header use closer to libtests. It also includes
`curlx/curlx.h` for all unit tests by default now.
- move `unitfail` declaration from `test.h` to `first.h`.
To match its definition in `first.c`.
- drop now redundant per-test curlx header includes.
