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.

Windows CRTs have a `share.h`. Before this patch when trying to
`#include <share.h>` it, the compiler picked up curl's internal

CRT `share.h` has constants necessary for using safe open CRT functions.
Also rename `lib/share.c` to keep matching the header.

Windows CE support was limited to successful builds with ming32ce
(a toolchain that hasn't seen an update since 2009, using an ancient gcc
version and "old mingw"-style SDK headers, that curl deprecated earlier).
Builds with MSVC were broken for a long time. mingw32ce builds were never
actually tested and runtime and unlikely to work due to missing stubs.
Windows CE toolchains also miss to comply with C89. Paired with lack of
demand and support for the platform, curl deprecated it earlier.
This patch removes support from the codebase to ease maintaining Windows
codepaths.

The `transport` to use for a transfer, e.g. TCP/QUIC/UNIX/UDP, is
initially selected by options and protocol used. This is set at the
`struct connectdata` as `transport` member.
During connection establishment, this transport may change due to
Alt-Svc or Happy-Eyeballing. Most common is the switch from TCP to QUIC.
Rename the connection member to `transport_wanted` and add a way to
query the connection for the transport in use via a new connection
filter query.
The filter query can also be used in the happy eyeballing attempts when
code needs to know which transport is used by the "filter below". This
happens in wolfssl initialization, as one example.

Connection filters had a method `get_host()` which had not really been
documented. Since then, the cf had the `query()` method added. Replace
the separate get_host with query.
Add `CF_QUERY_HOST_PORT` as query to connection filters to retrieve
which remote hostname and port the filter (or its sub-filter) is talking
to. The query is implemented by HTTP and SOCKS filters, all others pass
it through.
Add `Curl_conn_get_current_host()` to retrieve the remote host and port
for a connection. During connect, this will return the host the
connection is talking to right now. Before/After connect, this will
return `conn->host.name`.
This is used by SASL authentication.
Closes#17419
Add a bitset `dirty` to the multi handle. The presence of a transfer int
he "dirty" set means: this transfer has something to do ASAP.
"dirty" is set by multiplexing protocols like HTTP/2 and 3 when
encountering response data for another transfer than the current one.
"dirty" is set by protocols that want to be called.
Implementation:
* just an additional `uint_bset` in the multi handle
* `Curl_multi_mark_dirty()` to add a transfer to the dirty set.
* `multi_runsingle()` clears the dirty bit of the transfer at
start. Without new dirty marks, this empties the set after
al dirty transfers have been run.
* `multi_timeout()` immediately gives the current time and
timeout_ms == 0 when dirty transfers are present.
* multi_event: marks all transfers tracked for a socket as dirty.
Then marks all expired transfers as dirty. Then it runs
all dirty transfers.
With this mechanism:
* Most uses of `EXPIRE_RUN_NOW` are replaced by `Curl_multi_mark_dirty()`
* `Curl_multi_mark_dirty()` is cheaper than querying if a transfer is
already dirty or set for timeout. There is no need to check, just do it.
* `data->state.select_bits` is eliminated. We need no longer to
simulate a poll event to make a transfer run.
Closes#17662
The checks for a connection being "too long idle" or "too old" where
rounding down the elapsed time to seconds before comparing to the

999ms longer than intended.

connection will properly be "too old" 1 ms after the coonfigured values.

The `struct Curl_dns_entry *` used to established a connection
do not have the connection's lifetime, but the transfer's lifetime
(of the transfer that initiates the connect).
`Curl_dns_entry *` is reference counted with the "dns cache". That
cache might be owned by the multi or the transfer's share. In the
share, the reference count needs updating under lock.
Therefore, the dns entry can only be kept *and* released using the
same transfer it was initially looked up from. But a connection is
often discarded using another transfer.
So far, the problem of this has been avoided in clearing the connection's
dns entries in the "multi_don()" handling. So, connections had NULL
dns entries after the initial transfers and its connect had been handled.
Keeping the dns entries in data->state seems therefore a better choice.
Also: remove the `struct Curl_dns_entry *` from the connect filters
contexts. Use `data->state.dns` every time instead and fail correctly
when not present and needed.
Closes#17383
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.

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

Further testing with timeouts in event based processing revealed that
our current shutdown handling in the connection pool was not clear
enough. Graceful shutdowns can only happen inside a multi handle and it
was confusing to track in the code which situation actually applies. It
seems better to split the shutdown handling off and have that code
always be part of a multi handle.
Add `cshutdn.[ch]` with its own struct to maintain connections being
shut down. A `cshutdn` always belongs to a multi handle and uses that
for socket/timeout monitoring.
The `cpool`, which can be part of a multi or share, either passes
connections to a `cshutdn` or terminates them with a one-time, best
effort.
Add an `admin` easy handle to each multi and share. This is used to
perform all maintenance operations where no "real" easy handle is
available. This solves the problem that the multi admin handle requires
some additional initialisation (e.g. timeout list).
The share needs its admin handle as it is often cleaned up when no other
transfer or multi handle exists any more. But we need a `data` in almost
every call.
Fix file:// handling of errors when adding a new connection to the pool.
Changes in `curl` itself:
- for parallel transfers, do not set a connection pool in the share,
rely on the multi's connection pool instead. While not a requirement
for the new `cshutdn` to work, this is
a) helpful in testing to trigger graceful shutdowns
b) a broader code coverage of libcurl via the curl tool
- on test_event with uv, cleanup the multi handle before returning from
parallel_event(). The uv struct is on the stack, cleanup of the multi
later will crash when it tries to register sockets. This is a "eat
your own dogfood" related fix.

Make it possible to build curl for Windows CE using the CeGCC toolchain.
With both CMake and autotools, including tests and examples, also in CI.
The build configuration is the default one with Schannel enabled. No
3rd-party dependencies have been tested.
Also revive old code to make Schannel build with Windows CE, including
certificate verification.
Builds have been throughougly tested. But, I've made no functional tests
for this PR. Some parts (esp. file operations, like truncate and seek)
are stubbed out and likely broken as a result. Test servers build, but
they do not work on Windows CE. This patch substitutes `fstat()` calls
with `stat()`, which operate on filenames, not file handles. This may or
may not work and/or may not be secure.
About CeGCC: I used the latest available macOS binary build v0.59.1
r1397 from 2009, in native `mingw32ce` build mode. CeGCC is in effect
MinGW + GCC 4.4.0 + old/classic-mingw Windows headers. It targets
Windows CE v3.0 according to its `_WIN32_WCE` value. It means this PR
restores portions of old/classic-mingw support. It makes the Windows CE
codepath compatible with GCC 4.4.0. It also adds workaround for CMake,
which cannot identify and configure this toolchain out of the box.
Notes:
- CMake doesn't recognize CeGCC/mingw32ce, necessitating tricks as seen
with Amiga and MS-DOS.
- CMake doesn't set `MINGW` for mingw32ce. Set it and `MINGW32CE`
manually as a helper variable, in addition to `WINCE` which CMake sets
based on `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`.
- CMake fails to create an implib for `libcurl.dll`, due to not
recognizing the platform as a Windowsy one. This patch adds the
necessary workaround to make it work.
- headers shipping with CeGCC miss some things curl needs for Schannel
support. Fixed by restoring and renovating code previously deleted
old-mingw code.
- it's sometime non-trivial to figure out if a fallout is WinCE,
mingw32ce, old-mingw, or GCC version-specific.
- WinCE is always Unicode. With exceptions: no `wmain`,
`GetProcAddress()`.
- `_fileno()` is said to convert from `FILE *` to `void *` which is
a Win32 file `HANDLE`. (This patch doesn't use this, but with further
effort it probably could be.)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3989545/how-do-i-get-the-file-handle-from-the-fopen-file-structure
- WinCE has no signals, current directory, stdio/CRT file handles, no
`_get_osfhandle()`, no `errno`, no `errno.h`. Some of this stuff is
standard C89, yet missing from this platform. Microsoft expects
Windows CE apps to use Win32 file API and `FILE *` exclusively.

On `UNDER_CE` vs. `_WIN32_WCE`: (This patch settled on `UNDER_CE`)
- A custom VS2008 WinCE toolchain does not set any of these.
The compiler binaries don't contain these strings, and has no compiler
option for targeting WinCE, hinting that a vanilla toolchain isn't
setting any of them either.
- `UNDER_CE` is automatically defined by the CeGCC compiler.
https://cegcc.sourceforge.net/docs/details.html
- `UNDER_CE` is similar to `_WIN32`, except it's not set automatically
by all compilers. It's not supposed to have any value, like a version.
(Though e.g. OpenSSL sets it to a version)
- `_WIN32_WCE` is the CE counterpart of the non-CE `_WIN32_WINNT` macro.
That does return the targeted Windows CE version.
- `_WIN32_WCE` is not defined by compilers, and relies on a header
setting it to a default, or the build to set it to the desired target
version. This is also how `_WIN32_WINNT` works.
- `_WIN32_WCE` default is set by `windef.h` in CeGCC.
- `_WIN32_WCE` isn't set to a default by MSVC Windows CE headers (the
ones I checked at least).
- CMake sets `_WIN32_WCE=<ver>`, `UNDER_CE`, `WINCE` for MSVC WinCE.
- `_WIN32_WCE` seems more popular in other projects, including CeGCC
itself. `zlib` is a notable exception amongst curl dependencies,
which uses `UNDER_CE`.
- Since `_WIN32_WCE` needs "certain" headers to have it defined, it's
undefined depending on headers included beforehand.
- `curl/curl.h` re-uses `_WIN32_WCE`'s as a self-guard, relying on
its not-(necessarily)-defined-by-default property:
