Some GNU C version guards implicitly include the clang compiler, because
clang reports itself as GCC 4.2.1.
This implicit inclusion doesn't happen if the guard requires a GCC
version above 4.2.1.
Fix two such guards to explicitly include clang where it does support
the guarded feature:
- curl/curl.h: use `typecheck-gcc.h` with clang.
llvm clang v14+ supports this. The corresponding Apple clang version
is also v14.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode#Toolchain_versions
Apple clang v14 tested OK in CI:
https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/16353901480/job/46207437204
- tool_urlglib: use `__builtin_mul_overflow()` with clang v8+.
llvm clang v3.8+ supports this, but to accommodate for Apple clang,
start with v8, the Apple version having the mainline v3.8 feature set.
Also fix compile warnings triggered by the above:
- lib1912: fix duplicate `;`:
```

To make all src and test code refer to curlx headers the same way.
Also:
- src: move `curlx.h` include to `tool_setup.h`.
- src/tool_setup.h: drop stray `curlx/timeval.h`.
- servers: de-duplicate `curlx.h` and `curl_setup.h` includes.
- libtests, units: drop stray curlx sub-headers in favor of
`<curlx/curlx.h>`.
- tests: include `curlx.h` with `<>` instead of `""`. To match
other parts of the codebase.
Closes#17680
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.

Closes#17253
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.

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.
- revived CeGCC here (not tested for this PR):

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:

Sources used `lib/curlx.h` with both `ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF` set and unset
before including it.
In a cmake "unity" batch where the first included source had it unset,
the next sources did not get the macros requested with
`ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF` because `lib/curl.x` had already been included
without them.
Fix it by by making the macros enabled permanently and globally for
internal sources, and dropping `ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF`.
This came up while testing unity builds with smaller batches. The full,
default unity build where all `src` is bundled up in a single unit, was
not affected.

Windows compilers define `_WIN32` automatically. Windows SDK headers
or build env defines `WIN32`, or we have to take care of it. The
agreement seems to be that `_WIN32` is the preferred practice here.
Make the source code rely on that to detect we're building for Windows.
Public `curl.h` was using `WIN32`, `__WIN32__` and `CURL_WIN32` for
Windows detection, next to the official `_WIN32`. After this patch it
only uses `_WIN32` for this. Also, make it stop defining `CURL_WIN32`.
There is a slight chance these break compatibility with Windows
compilers that fail to define `_WIN32`. I'm not aware of any obsolete
or modern compiler affected, but in case there is one, one possible
solution is to define this macro manually.
grepping for `WIN32` remains useful to discover Windows-specific code.
Also:
- extend `checksrc` to ensure we're not using `WIN32` anymore.
- apply minor formatting here and there.
- delete unnecessary checks for `!MSDOS` when `_WIN32` is present.

Closes#12376
Earlier this year we changed our own stderr variable to use the standard
name `stderr` (to avoid bugs where someone is using `stderr` instead of
the curl-tool specific variable). This solution needed to override the
standard `stderr` symbol via the preprocessor. This in turn didn't play
well with unity builds and caused curl tool to crash or stay silent due
to an uninitialized stderr. This was a hard to find issue, fixed by
manually breaking out one file from the unity sources.
To avoid two these two tricks, this patch implements a different
solution: Restore using our own local variable for our stderr output and
leave `stderr` as-is. To avoid using `stderr` by mistake, add a
`checksrc` rule (based on logic we already used in lib for `strerror`)
that detects any `stderr` use in `src` and points to using our own
variable instead: `tool_stderr`.

The open paren check wants to warn for spaces before open parenthesis
for if/while/for but also for any function call. In order to avoid
catching function pointer declarations, the logic allows a space if the
first character after the open parenthesis is an asterisk.
I also spotted what we did not include "switch" in the check but we should.
This check is a little lame, but we reduce this problem by not allowing
that space for if/while/for/switch.
