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.

When OpenSSL fails to verify the peer certificate, we checked for
one specific reason code and did not ask Apple SecTrust for any
other failure.
Always ask Apple SecTrust after OpenSSL fails when the `native_ca_store`
is enabled. If the user configures a CAfile or CApath, the native store
is disabled, so this does not affect use cases where users asks curl
to use a specific set of trust anchors.
Do the same for GnuTLS

With GnuTLS 3.8.0+ the build-time SRP feature detection always succeeds.
It's also disabled by default in these GnuTLS versions.
When using TLS-SRP without it being available in GnuTLS, report
the correct error code `CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN`, replacing the out of memory
error reported before this patch.
Also add comments to autotools and cmake scripts about this feature
detection property.
Detecting it at build-time would need to run code which doesn't work
in cross-builds. Once curl requires 3.8.0 as minimum, the build-time
checks can be deleted.
```
# before:
curl: (27) gnutls_srp_allocate_client_cred() failed: An unimplemented or disabled feature has been requested.

This commit does the following things:
1. Update the description of gtls_init()
2. In gtls_client_init(), check the invaild SSLVERSION at first. Note
that this part refactors the duplicate/incompatible checks and removes
the useless local variable `sni`.
3. Check the return value of gnutls_ocsp_resp_init(). Although the
original code is safe because gnutls_ocsp_resp_import() will check
the validity of `ocsp_resp`, it is better to catch the error in time
and record the proper message to output log.
Closes#19366
Replace the check if a ssl session cache is configured with
a function checking if it is configured *and* if an ssl session
cache is available.
During normal operations, a session cache is always there, however
for "connect-only" transfers this might not be the case. When such
transfers receive new sessions/tickets, they need to silently
discard those and not fail.

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?

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.

This still allows users to explictily ask for 1.0 or 1.1 as the minimum
version. If the TLS library allows it.
Starting with this change, the CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT value is no
longer used as minimum version when the TLS backend are called.
This also makes curl set the minimum version to 1.2 independently of
libcurl for the rare case where a newer curl tool would use an older
libcurl.

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.

Ref: #16949Closes#16991
Before this patch, standard `E*` errno codes were redefined on Windows,
onto matching winsock2 `WSA*` error codes, which have different values.
This broke uses where using the `E*` value in non-socket context, or
other places expecting a POSIX `errno`, e.g. file I/O, threads, IDN or
interfacing with dependencies.
Fix it by introducing a curl-specific `SOCKE*` set of macros that map to
`WSA*` on Windows and standard POSIX codes on other platforms. Then
verify and update the code to use `SOCKE*` or `E*` macro depending on
context.
- Add `SOCKE*` macros that map to either winsock2 or POSIX error codes.
And use them with `SOCKERRNO` or in contexts requiring
platform-dependent socket error codes.
This fixes `E*` uses which were supposed be POSIX values, not `WSA*`
socket errors, on Windows:
- lib/curl_multibyte.c
- lib/curl_threads.c
- lib/idn.c
- lib/vtls/gtls.c
- lib/vtls/rustls.c
- src/tool_cb_wrt.c
- src/tool_dirhie.c
- Ban `E*` codes having a `SOCKE*` mapping, via checksrc.

- Add exceptions for `E*` codes used in file I/O, or other contexts
requiring POSIX error codes.
Also:
- ftp: fix missing `SOCKEACCES` mapping for Windows.
- add `SOCKENOMEM` for `Curl_getaddrinfo()` via `asyn-thread.c`.
- tests/server/sockfilt: fix to set `SOCKERRNO` in local `select()`

- lib/inet_ntop: fix to return `WSAEINVAL` on Windows, where `ENOSPC` is

as tested on a Win10 machine.
Note:
- WINE returns `STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER` = `0xC000000D`.
- Microsoft documentation says it returns `WSA_INVALID_PARAMETER`
(= `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER`) 87:
https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/api/ws2tcpip/nf-ws2tcpip-inet_ntop#return-value
- lib/inet_ntop: drop redundant `CURL_SETERRNO(ENOSPC)`.
`inet_ntop4()` already sets it before returning `NULL`.
- replace stray `WSAEWOULDBLOCK` with `USE_WINSOCK` macro to detect
winsock2.
- move existing `SOCKE*` mappings from `tests/server` to
`curl_setup_once.h`.
- add missing `EINTR`, `EINVAL` constants for WinCE.

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.
