The gethostbyname(3) family was removed in POSIX-1.2008 in favor of
getaddrinfo(3) introduced in POSIX-1.2001. Modern POSIX systems such as
Sortix does not have gethostbyname nor the related definitions and
structures.
curl already only uses getaddrinfo(3) if available and thread safe,
although there is mild breakage if the related gethostbyname definitions
are missing.
This change attempts to fix that breakage:
Remove an unnecessary configure error if gethostbyname is missing since
getaddrinfo is enough as a fallback.
Rewrite Curl_ip2addr to not use struct hostent as it no longer is
standardized and create the struct Curl_addrinfo directly.
Only define the Curl_he2ai function on non-getaddrinfo systems where it
is going to be used with struct hoestent.
Revoke the fallback logic for when it's unknown whether getaddrinfo is
thread safe. It doesn't appear to make any sense since h_errno is
unrelated to getaddrinfo. The logic prevents new POSIX.1-2024 systems
from passing the thread safety test since h_errno does not exist anymore
and POSIX already requires getaddrinfo to be thread safe. There's
already a denylist in place for operating systems with known buggy
implementations.

`Curl_getaddrinfo_ex()` gets _defined_ with `HAVE_GETADDRINFO` set. But,
`hostip4.c` _used_ it with `HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE` set alone. It
meant a build with the latter, but without the former flag could result
in calling this function but not defining it, and failing to link.
Patch this by adding an extra check for `HAVE_GETATTRINFO` around the
call.
Before this patch, build systems prevented this condition. Now they
don't need to.
While here, simplify the related CMake logic on Windows by setting
`HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE` to the detection result of
`HAVE_GETADDRINFO`. This expresses the following intent clearer than
the previous patch and keeps the logic in a single block of code:
When we have `getaddrinfo()` on Windows, it's always threadsafe.

Closes#9734
This patch aims to cleanup the use of `process.h` header and the macro
`HAVE_PROCESS_H` associated with it.
- `process.h` is always available on Windows. In curl, it is required
only for `_beginthreadex()` in `lib/curl_threads.c`.
- `process.h` is also available in MS-DOS. In curl, its only use was in
`lib/smb.c` for `getpid()`. But `getpid()` is in fact declared by
`unistd.h`, which is always enabled via `lib/config-dos.h`. So the
header is not necessary.
- `HAVE_PROCESS_H` was detected by CMake, forced to 1 on Windows and
left to real detection for other platforms.
It was also set to always-on in `lib/config-win32.h` and
`lib/config-dos.h`.
In autotools builds, there was no detection and the macro was never
set.
Based on these observations, in this patch we:
- Rework Windows `getpid` logic in `lib/smb.c` to always use the
equivalent direct Win32 API function `GetCurrentProcessId()`, as we
already did for Windows UWP apps. This makes `process.h` unnecessary
here on Windows.
- Stop #including `process.h` into files where it was not necessary.
This is everywhere, except `lib/curl_threads.c`.
> Strangely enough, `lib/curl_threads.c` compiled fine with autotools
> because `process.h` is also indirecty included via `unistd.h`. This
> might have been broken in autotools MSVC builds, where the latter
> header is missing.
- Delete all remaining `HAVE_PROCESS_H` feature guards, for they were
unnecessary.
- Delete `HAVE_PROCESS_H` detection from CMake and predefined values
from `lib/config-*.h` headers.

... in most cases instead of 'struct connectdata *' but in some cases in
addition to.
- We mostly operate on transfers and not connections.
- We need the transfer handle to log, store data and more. Everything in
libcurl is driven by a transfer (the CURL * in the public API).
- This work clarifies and separates the transfers from the connections
better.
- We should avoid "conn->data". Since individual connections can be used
by many transfers when multiplexing, making sure that conn->data
points to the current and correct transfer at all times is difficult
and has been notoriously error-prone over the years. The goal is to
ultimately remove the conn->data pointer for this reason.

Closes#5338
The code was duplicated in the various resolver backends.
Also, it was called after the call to `Curl_ipvalid`, which matters in
case of `CURLRES_IPV4` when called from `connect.c:bindlocal`. This
caused test 1048 to fail on classic MinGW.
The code ignores `conn->ip_version` as done previously in the
individual resolver backends.
Move the call to the `resolver_start` callback up to appease test 655,
which wants it to be called also for literal addresses.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4798
Also, use `CURLRES_IPV6` only for actual DNS resolution, not for IPv6
address support. This makes it possible to connect to IPv6 literals by
setting `ENABLE_IPV6` even without `getaddrinfo` support. It also fixes
the CMake build when using the synchronous resolver without
`getaddrinfo` support.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4662
The function does not return the same value as snprintf() normally does,
so readers may be mislead into thinking the code works differently than
it actually does. A different function name makes this easier to detect.

Fixes#3296Closes#3297
curl_printf.h defines printf to curl_mprintf, etc. This can cause
problems with external headers which may use
__attribute__((format(printf, ...))) markers etc.
To avoid that they cause problems with system includes, we include
curl_printf.h after any system headers. That makes the three last
headers to always be, and we keep them in this order:
curl_printf.h
curl_memory.h
memdebug.h
None of them include system headers, they all do funny #defines.

For consistency, as we seem to have a bit of a mixed bag, changed all
instances of ipv4 and ipv6 in comments and documentations to use the
correct case.
Solaris with the SunStudio Compiler is reportedly missing this define,
but as we're using it without any good reason on all the places it was
used I've now instead switched to just use sensible buffer sizes that
fit a 32 bit decimal number. Which also happens to be smaller than the
common NI_MAXSERV value which is 32 on most machines.

This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-01/0160.html
The IP version choice was previously only in the UserDefined struct
within the SessionHandle, but since we sometimes alter that option
during a request we need to have it on a per-connection basis.
I also moved more "init conn" code into the allocate_conn() function
which is designed for that purpose more or less.
As reported in bug report #2987196, the code for ipv6 already did
the setting of this bit correctly so we copied that logic into
the Curl_ipv4_resolve_r() function as well. KRB code is the only
code we know that might need the cannonical name so only resolve
it for such requests!
