Enable more picky compiler warnings. I've found these options in the
nghttp3 project when implementing the CMake quick picky warning
functionality for it [1].
`-Wunused-macros` was too noisy to keep around, but fixed a few issues
it revealed while testing.
- autotools: reflect the more precisely-versioned clang warnings.
Follow-up to 033f8e2a08#12324
- autotools: sync between clang and gcc the way we set `no-multichar`.
- autotools: avoid setting `-Wstrict-aliasing=3` twice.
- autotools: disable `-Wmissing-noreturn` for MSYS gcc targets [2].
It triggers in libtool-generated stub code.
- lib/timeval: delete a redundant `!MSDOS` guard from a `WIN32` branch.
- lib/curl_setup.h: delete duplicate declaration for `fileno`.
Added in initial commit ae1912cb0d
(1999-12-29). This suggests this may not be needed anymore, but if
it does, we may restore this for those specific (non-Windows) systems.
- lib: delete unused macro `FTP_BUFFER_ALLOCSIZE` since
c1d6fe2aaa.
- lib: delete unused macro `isxdigit_ascii` since
f65f750742.
- lib/mqtt: delete unused macro `MQTT_HEADER_LEN`.
- lib/multi: delete unused macro `SH_READ`/`SH_WRITE`.
- lib/hostip: add `noreturn` function attribute via new `CURL_NORETURN`
macro.
- lib/mprintf: delete duplicate declaration for `Curl_dyn_vprintf`.
- lib/rand: fix `-Wunreachable-code` and related fallouts [3].
- lib/setopt: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break`.
- lib/system_win32 and lib/timeval: fix double declarations for
`Curl_freq` and `Curl_isVistaOrGreater` in CMake UNITY mode [4].
- lib/warnless: fix double declarations in CMake UNITY mode [5].
This was due to force-disabling the header guard of `warnless.h` to
to reapply it to source code coming after `warnless.c` in UNITY
builds. This reapplied declarations too, causing the warnings.
Solved by adding a header guard for the lines that actually need
to be reapplied.
- lib/vauth/digest: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break` [6].
- lib/vssh/libssh2: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break` and delete redundant
block.
- lib/vtls/sectransp: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break` [7].
- lib/vtls/sectransp: suppress `-Wunreachable-code`.
Detected in `else` branches of dynamic feature checks, with results
known at compile-time, e.g.
```c
if(SecCertificateCopySubjectSummary) /* -> true */
```
Likely fixable as a separate micro-project, but given SecureTransport
is deprecated anyway, let's just silence these locally.
- src/tool_help: delete duplicate declaration for `helptext`.
- src/tool_xattr: fix `-Wunreachable-code`.
- tests: delete duplicate declaration for `unitfail` [8].
- tests: delete duplicate declaration for `strncasecompare`.
- tests/libtest: delete duplicate declaration for `gethostname`.
Originally added in 687df5c8c3
(2010-08-02).
Got complicated later: c49e9683b8
If there are still systems around with warnings, we may restore the
prototype, but limited for those systems.
- tests/lib2305: delete duplicate declaration for
`libtest_debug_config`.
- tests/h2-download: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break`.

- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
- Disable warning C4127 "conditional expression is constant" globally
in curl_setup.h for when building with Microsoft's compiler.
This mainly affects building with the Visual Studio project files found
in the projects dir.
Prior to this change the cmake and winbuild build systems already
disabled 4127 globally for when building with Microsoft's compiler.
Also, 4127 was already disabled for all build systems in the limited
circumstance of the WHILE_FALSE macro which disabled the warning
specifically for while(0). This commit removes the WHILE_FALSE macro and
all other cruft in favor of disabling globally in curl_setup.
Background:
We have various macros that cause 0 or 1 to be evaluated, which would
cause warning C4127 in Visual Studio. For example this causes it:
#define Curl_resolver_asynch() 1
Full behavior is not clearly defined and inconsistent across versions.
However it is documented that since VS 2015 Update 3 Microsoft has
addressed this somewhat but not entirely, not warning on while(true) for
example.
Prior to this change some C4127 warnings occurred when I built with
Visual Studio using the generated projects in the projects dir.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4658
- replace tabs with spaces where possible
- remove line ending spaces
- remove double/triple newlines at EOF
- fix a non-UTF-8 character
- cleanup a few indentations/line continuations
in manual examples
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3037
All C and H files now (should) feature the proper project curl source
code header, which includes basic info, a copyright statement and some
basic disclaimers.
This makes it possible to skip the call to unit_stop() in such
cases. Also use Curl_safefree() in unit test 1302 so it will
pass the memory torture test.
The UNITTEST_START and UNITTEST_STOP defines needed to do a new brace
level so that test cases can declare variables fine and still remain
fine C89 code.
