This patch adds the ability to build a static and shared libcurl library
in a single build session. It also adds an option to select which one to
use when building the curl executable.
New build options:
- `BUILD_STATIC_LIBS`. Default: `OFF`.
Enabled automatically if `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` is `OFF`.
- `BUILD_STATIC_CURL`. Default: `OFF`.
Requires `BUILD_STATIC_LIBS` enabled.
Enabled automatically if building static libcurl only.
- `STATIC_LIB_SUFFIX`. Default: empty.
- `IMPORT_LIB_SUFFIX`. Default: `_imp` if implib filename would collide
with static lib name (typically with MSVC) in Windows builds.
Otherwise empty.
Also:
- Stop setting the `CURL_STATICLIB` macro via `curl_config.h`, and pass
it directly to the compiler. This also allows to delete a condition
from `tests/server/CMakeLists.txt`.
- Complete a TODO by following the logic used in autotools (also for
`LIBCURL_NO_SHARED`), and set `-DCURL_STATICLIB` in `Cflags:` of
`libcurl.pc` for _static-only_ curl builds.
- Convert an existing CI test to build both shared and static libcurl.
Closes#11505
- 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
The default target should only build libcurl and curl. Add a dedicated
'testdeps' target which will be used later when running tests. Note that
unittests are currently broken in CMake and already excluded.
Closes#5368
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.

- 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
Use standard CMake variable BUILD_SHARED_LIBS instead of introducing
custom option CURL_STATICLIB.
Use '-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=%SHARED%' in appveyor.yml.

Closes#2755
The MSVC warning level defaults to 3 in CMake. Change it to 4, which is
consistent with the Visual Studio and NMake builds. Disable level 4
warning C4127 for the library and additionally C4306 for the test
servers to get a clean CURL_WERROR build as that warning is raised in
some macros in older Visual Studio versions.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1711
Fix detection of the AsynchDNS feature which not just depends on
pthreads support, but also on whether USE_POSIX_THREADS is set or not.
Caught by test 1014.
This patch adds a new ENABLE_THREADED_RESOLVER option (corresponding to
--enable-threaded-resolver of autotools) which also needs a check for
HAVE_PTHREAD_H.
For symmetry with autotools, CURL_USE_ARES is renamed to ENABLE_ARES
(--enable-ares). Checks that test for the availability actually use
USE_ARES instead as that is the result of whether a-res is available or
not (in practice this does not matter as CARES is marked as required
package, but nevertheless it is better to write the intent).

There is no need for such function. Include_directories propagate by
themselves and having a function with one simple link statement makes
little sense.
Fixed issue with static build for MSVC2010.
After some investigation I've discovered known issue
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11240 When .rc file is linked
to static lib it fails with following linker error
LINK : warning LNK4068: /MACHINE not specified; defaulting to X86
file.obj : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with
target machine type 'X86'
Fix add target property /MACHINE: for MSVC generation.
Also removed old workarounds - it caused errors during msvc build.

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.
