Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/16508#issuecomment-2690443409Fixes#16521Closes#16528
curl requires Windows XP since 2023. Drop version detection code using
`GetVersionEx()` aimed to support earlier Windows versions. With that
call deleted, the embedded manifest in `curl.rc` becomes unnecessary.
Delete it too, along with the enabler logic in build systems.
This allows to stop forcing `/MANIFEST:NO` for MSVC builds. Dropping it
fixes VS2008 shared builds, that require an auto-generated SxS
(side-by-side assembly) manifest to find their CRT DLLs. This was the
issue that prevented VS2008 `curl.exe` launching on AppVeyor CI:
```
src/curl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
Ref: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/51577006/job/eitypvwlb1rxr11d#L261
FWIW the `curl.rc` embedded manifest wasn't ever enabled for VS2008 CI
builds either, because CMake did not pass our custom macro via
`CMAKE_RC_FLAGS` to `rc.exe`. For reasons I could not figure out.
After this patch the curl build no longer inject its own manifest, and
lets the default be applied by linkers and toolchains. It fixes VS2008
shared builds. curl continues to detect the real Windows version via
`RtlVerifyVersionInfo()` from `ntdll`.

- add hex and octal parsers to the Curl_str_* family
- make curlx_strtoofft use these parsers
- remove all use of strtol() and strtoul() in library code
- generally use Curl_str_* more than strtoofft, for stricter parsing

between platforms
Extended the unit test 1664 to verify hex and octal parsing.

Rework the way `tool_hugehelp.c` is included in builds.
After this patch, with `./configure` and CMake `tool_hugehelp.c` is only
compiled when building with manuals enabled. With manuals disabled this
source file is not used anymore. The method is similar to how
8a3740bc8e implemented `tool_ca_embed.c`.
`./configure` always generates it as before, otherwise the build fails.
- winbuild: rework to not need `buildconf.bat`, but automatically use
`tool_hugehelp.c` if present (e.g. when building from an official
source tarball) and enable `USE_MANUAL` accordingly.
- `buildconf.bat`: after dropping `tool_hugehelp.c` generation, the only
logic left was `cp Makefile.dist Makefile`. This allowed to launch
winbuild builds via GNU Make in a Git repo. Drop this option together
with the batch file.
- build `libcurltool` without `USE_MANUAL` macro to exclude the manual
and the dependence on the generator commands. Drop relying on
`UNITTESTS` for this purpose.
Follow-up to 96843f4ef7#16068
- `src/mkhelp.pl`: include `tool_hugehelp.h` before using `USE_MANUAL`
to have it set in `config-*.h` builds with source tarballs created
with manual but without zlib.

We recommend migrating to CMake from winbuild and Visual Studio project
files. winbuild is deprecated and will be dropped in September 2025.
CMake supports all the features and options, with new ones added
promptly. It supports out-of-tree, unity and documentation builds.
- deprecate winbuild method in favour of CMake by September 2025.
- add migration guide from winbuild to CMake.
- add migration guide from Visual Studio Project Files to CMake.
- add deprecation message to winbuild.

- Remove reference to 'Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio'
shortcut since it opens in x86 mode.
That prompt may confuse users since it is not easily switched to x64.
Our instruction says vcvarsall can be used to change the platform but it
is not in the path in any version that I checked (VS 2010, 2013, 2022).
Instead users will now only see the remaining instruction to use a
platform specific command prompt to build curl, like "x64 Native Tools".
There's several links as well to Microsoft documentation for users that
have more complicated requirements, such as using vcvarsall.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/15313
- Add a new section explaining that a build can be cleaned by adding the

Closes#14084
Fix issues detected.
Also:
- One of the `.vc` files used LF EOLs, while the other didn't.
Make that one also use LF EOLs, as this is apparently supported by
`nmake`.
- Drop `.dsw` and `.btn` types from `.gitattributes`.
The repository doesn't use them.
- Sync section order with the rest of files in
`tests/certs/EdelCurlRoot-ca.prm`.
- Indent/align `.prm` and `.pem` files.
- Delete dummy `[something]` section from `.prm` and `.pem` files.
Mental note:
MSVC `.sln` files seem to accept spaces for indentation and also support
LF line-endings. I cannot test this and I don't know what's more
convenient when updating them, so left them as-is, with specific
exclusions.
Closes#14031
- Only set PE file flag VS_FF_DEBUG if curl.exe and libcurl.dll were
built with winbuild option DEBUG=yes which builds with debug info.
VS_FF_DEBUG is a PE flag (Portable Executable file flag - dll, exe, etc)
that indicates the file contains or was built with debug info.
Prior to this change when winbuild was used to build curl, curl.exe
and libcurl.dll always had VS_FF_DEBUG set, regardless of build option
DEBUG=yes/no, due to some bad logic.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13739
Syncing this up with CMake.
Source code uses the built-in `OPENSSL_IS_AWSLC` and
`OPENSSL_IS_BORINSSL` macros to detect BoringSSL and AWS-LC. No help is
necessary from the build tools.
The one use of `HAVE_BORINGSSL` in the source turned out to be no longer
necessary for warning-free BoringSSL + Schannel builds. Ref: #1610#2634
autotools detects this anyway for display purposes.
CMake detects this to decide whether to use the BoringSSL-specific
crypto lib with ngtcp2. It detects AWS-LC, but doesn't use the detection
result just yet (planned in #12066).

Add support for command line variables. Set variables with --variable
name=content or --variable name@file (where "file" can be stdin if set
to a single dash (-)).
Variable content is expanded in option parameters using "{{name}}"
(without the quotes) if the option name is prefixed with
"--expand-". This gets the contents of the variable "name" inserted, or
a blank if the name does not exist as a variable. Insert "{{" verbatim
in the string by prefixing it with a backslash, like "\\{{".
Import an environment variable with --variable %name. It makes curl exit
with an error if the environment variable is not set. It can also rather
get a default value if the variable does not exist, using =content or
@file like shown above.
Example: get the USER environment variable into the URL:
--variable %USER
--expand-url = "https://example.com/api/{{USER}}/method"
When expanding variables, curl supports a set of functions that can make
the variable contents more convenient to use. It can trim leading and
trailing white space with "trim", output the contents as a JSON quoted
string with "json", URL encode it with "url" and base 64 encode it with
"b64". To apply functions to a variable expansion, add them colon
separated to the right side of the variable. They are then performed in
a left to right order.
Example: get the contents of a file called $HOME/.secret into a variable
called "fix". Make sure that the content is trimmed and percent-encoded
sent as POST data:
--variable %HOME=/home/default
--expand-variable fix@{{HOME}}/.secret
--expand-data "{{fix:trim:url}}"

- Check for zlib static library name zlibstatic.lib.
zlib's static library has a different name depending on how it was
built. zlibstatic.lib is output by cmake. zlibstat.lib is output by
their pre-generated Visual Studio project files (in the contrib
directory) and defines ZLIB_WINAPI (ie it's meant to use stdcall
instead of cdecl if you end up exporting the zlib functions).
Prior to this change the makefile only checked for the latter.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/11521
- Fix and move 'clean' code that removes the output and obj directories
trees from MakefileBuild.vc to Makefile.vc.
Prior to this change the 'clean' code did not work right because the
variables containing the directory names were not fully initialized and
the rmdir syntax was sometimes incorrect (typos). DIRDIST for example
was set to ..\builds\ and not ..\builds\$(CONFIG_NAME_LIB)\ so it would
remove the former and not the latter. If WITH_PREFIX was set then that
directory was removed instead.
Also, DIRDIST (the output directory) even if initialized should not be
removed by MakefileBuild.vc because by that time it could be set to a
user directory that may contain other files if WITH_PREFIX is set (eg we
don't want rmdir /s /q C:\usr\local). Therefore we remove from
Makefile.vc before any of that happens. I added a comment in both
makefiles explaining this.

`WANT_IDN_PROTOTYPES` was necessary to avoid using a header that came
via an optional package. MS stopped distributing this package some
years ago and the winidn definitions are part of standard headers (via
`windows.h`) since Vista.
Auto-detect Vista inside `lib/idn_win32.c` and enable the manual
definitions if building for an older Windows.
This allows to delete this manual knob from all build-systems.
Also drop the `_SAL_VERSION` sub-case:
Our manual definitions are now only enabled with old systems. We assume
that code analysis is not run on such systems, allowing us to delete the
SAL-friendly flavour of these.

Detecting headers and lib separately makes sense when headers come in
variations or with extra ones, but this wasn't the case here. These were
duplicate/parallel macros that we had to keep in sync with each other
for a working build. This patch leaves a single macro for each of these
dependencies:
- Rely on `HAVE_LIBZ`, delete parallel `HAVE_ZLIB_H`.
Also delete CMake logic making sure these two were in sync, along with
a toggle to turn off that logic, called `CURL_SPECIAL_LIBZ`.
Also delete stray `HAVE_ZLIB` defines.
There is also a `USE_ZLIB` variant in `lib/config-dos.h`. This patch
retains it for compatibility and deprecates it.
- Rely on `USE_LIBSSH2`, delete parallel `HAVE_LIBSSH2_H`.
Also delete `LIBSSH2_WIN32`, `LIBSSH2_LIBRARY` from
`winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc`, these have a role when building libssh2
itself. And `CURL_USE_LIBSSH`, which had no use at all.
Also delete stray `HAVE_LIBSSH2` defines.
- Rely on `USE_LIBSSH`, delete parallel `HAVE_LIBSSH_LIBSSH_H`.
Also delete `LIBSSH_WIN32`, `LIBSSH_LIBRARY` and `HAVE_LIBSSH` from

libssh2 line, and were not having any use.
