The goal of this patch is to avoid unnecessary feature detection work
when doing Windows builds with CMake. Do this by pre-filling well-known
detection results for Windows and specifically for mingw-w64 and MSVC
compilers. Also limit feature checks to platforms where the results are
actually used. Drop a few redundant ones. And some tidying up.
- pre-fill remaining detection values in Windows CMake builds.
Based on actual detection results observed in CI runs, preceding
similar work over libssh2 and matching up values with
`lib/config-win32.h`.
This brings down CMake configuration time from 58 to 14 seconds on the
same local machine.
On AppVeyor CI this translates to:
- 128 seconds -> 50 seconds VS2022 MSVC with OpenSSL (per CMake job):
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/48208419/job/4gw66ecrjpy7necb#L296
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/48217440/job/8m4fwrr2fe249uo8#L186
- 62 seconds -> 16 seconds VS2017 MINGW (per CMake job):
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/48208419/job/s1y8q5ivlcs7ub29?fullLog=true#L290
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/48217440/job/pchpxyjsyc9kl13a?fullLog=true#L194
The formula is about 1-3 seconds delay for each detection. Almost all
of these trigger a full compile-link cycle behind the scenes, slow
even today, both cross and native, mingw-w64 and apparently MSVC too.
Enabling .map files or other custom build features slows it down
further. (Similar is expected for autotools configure.)
- stop detecting `idn2.h` if idn2 was deselected.
autotools does this.
- stop detecting `idn2.h` if idn2 was not found.
This deviates from autotools. Source code requires both header and
lib, so this is still correct, but faster.
- limit `ADDRESS_FAMILY` detection to Windows.
- normalize `HAVE_WIN32_WINNT` value to lowercase `0x0a12` format.
- pre-fill `HAVE_WIN32_WINNT`-dependent detection results.
Saving 4 (slow) feature-detections in most builds: `getaddrinfo`,
`freeaddrinfo`, `inet_ntop`, `inet_pton`
- fix pre-filled `HAVE_SYS_TIME_H`, `HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H`,
`HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY` for mingw-w64.
Luckily this do not change build results, as `WIN32` took
priority over `HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY` with the current source
code.
- limit `HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME_MONOTONIC_RAW` and
`HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME_MONOTONIC` detections to non-Windows.
We're not using these in the source code for Windows.
- reduce compiler warning noise in CMake internal logs:
- fix to include `winsock2.h` before `windows.h`.
Apply it to autotools test snippets too.
- delete previous `-D_WINSOCKAPI_=` hack that aimed to fix the above.
- cleanup `CMake/CurlTests.c` to emit less warnings.
- delete redundant `HAVE_MACRO_SIGSETJMP` feature check.
It was the same check as `HAVE_SIGSETJMP`.
- delete 'experimental' marking from `CURL_USE_OPENSSL`.
- show CMake version via `CMakeLists.txt`.
