- 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 a deprecated attribute to functions and enum values that should not
be used anymore.
This uses a gcc 4.3 dialect, thus is only available for this version of
gcc and newer. Note that the _Pragma() keyword is introduced by C99, but
is available as part of the gcc dialect even when compiling in C89 mode.
It is still possible to disable deprecation at a calling module compile
time by defining CURL_DISABLE_DEPRECATION.
Gcc type checking macros are made aware of possible deprecations.
Some testing support Perl programs are adapted to the extended
declaration syntax.
Several test and unit test C programs intentionally use deprecated
functions/options and are annotated to not generate a warning.
New test 1222 checks the deprecation status in doc and header files.
Closes#9667
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
This test verifies that the order of functions in public headers remain
the same but hasn't been updated to care for recently added header
files. The order is important for some few platforms - or VERSIONINFO
needs to updated.
This fix also updates VERSIONINFO to be sure.
Closes#8620
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
