The gethostbyname(3) family was removed in POSIX-1.2008 in favor of
getaddrinfo(3) introduced in POSIX-1.2001. Modern POSIX systems such as
Sortix does not have gethostbyname nor the related definitions and
structures.
curl already only uses getaddrinfo(3) if available and thread safe,
although there is mild breakage if the related gethostbyname definitions
are missing.
This change attempts to fix that breakage:
Remove an unnecessary configure error if gethostbyname is missing since
getaddrinfo is enough as a fallback.
Rewrite Curl_ip2addr to not use struct hostent as it no longer is
standardized and create the struct Curl_addrinfo directly.
Only define the Curl_he2ai function on non-getaddrinfo systems where it
is going to be used with struct hoestent.
Revoke the fallback logic for when it's unknown whether getaddrinfo is
thread safe. It doesn't appear to make any sense since h_errno is
unrelated to getaddrinfo. The logic prevents new POSIX.1-2024 systems
from passing the thread safety test since h_errno does not exist anymore
and POSIX already requires getaddrinfo to be thread safe. There's
already a denylist in place for operating systems with known buggy
implementations.
Closes#15475
- reduce `check_include_file_concat()` use to those headers that either
depend on a previously detected header, or another header or symbol
detection depend on it.
- replace `check_symbol_exists()` with `check_function_exists()` for
functions that are detected with `AC_CHECK_FUNCS()` in `./configure`.
This makes `setmode()` no longer be detected with MSYS, syncing
this with `./configure`. Instead `_setmode()` is used now also in
CMake MSYS builds. This is consistent with Cygwin builds also.
- add comment about which header/symbol detection depends on what
header. Based on `./configure` mainly.
- form `CURL_TEST_DEFINES` manually, and include only those macros which
are actually used in `CMake/CurlTests.c`.
- change `curl_internal_test()` to use `CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS`,
instead of `CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS` to simplify the logic, and to allow
dropping the latter macro completely.
- drop `windows.h` from header and symbol checks.
- `./configure`: add comment about whether `netinet/in6.h`, `sys/un.h`
are indeed meant to be included for all detections. There is a chance
they were added there by accident.
Detection resuls were cross-checked between
436bbbe7ab (master) and
48ff4694e608ccfdedf7ce5bab2b96d6b2c23cda (this PR), for CI GHA Linux,
Linux HTTP/3, non-native, macOS and Windows jobs.
Closes#15164
Added in 37eba37019 (2009-06-17) to help
detecting socket functions.
But, this `socket.h` isn't used in the source code since
90dd1fc664#8288 (2022-01-16).
Closes#15173
Before this patch they were detected via manual methods, then with
`AC_CHECK_FUNCS()`.
Delete the manual checks and keep the latter.
Also delete `CURL_INCLUDES_POLL()` which is no longer used after
the above.
Closes#15170
Before this patch `setmode()` was not detected with Cygwin/MSYS, because
it's a macro, not a function, and detection is looking for a function.
Switching to symbol detection doesn't work because it mis-detects it on
BSD systems which features a function with the same name but different
functionality and arguments.
Fix it by looking for a `_setmode()` function on Cygwin/MSYS, and use it
if available.
`_setmode()` is recommended over `setmode()` by Windows documentation so
use that on Windows too. It seems to be available on all supported
compilers, so omit detection.

Officially Windows requires argument `_O_BINARY` with an underscore.
`O_BINARY` is also supported but bound to conditions. Continue to use it
for simplicity. Cygwin supports `O_BINARY` (no underscore).
Closes#15169
poll() on macOS 10.12 was deemed broken in 2016 when we discovered that
it misbehaves when provided with no sockets to wait for. The
HAVE_POLL_FINE is used to mark a poll() implementation that behaves
correctly: it *should* still wait the timeout time.
curl has therefore opted to use select() on Apple operating systems ever
since. To avoid the risk that this or other breakage cause problems.
However, using select() internally is also bad because it suffers from
problems when using file descriptors beyond 1024.
This change makes poll() used if it is present, but if there is no
sockets to wait for it avoids using poll() and instead falls back to
select() - but without any sockets to wait for there is no 1024 problem.
This removes all previous special-handling involving HAVE_POLL_FINE.

Add `CURL_CA_SEARCH_SAFE` build-time option to enable CA bundle search
in the `curl` tool directory. The lookup method was already used to find
`.curlrc` and `_curlrc` (on Windows). On Windows it overrides the unsafe
default `SearchPath()` method.
Enable with:
- cmake: `-DCURL_CA_SEARCH_SAFE=ON`
- autotools: `--enable-ca-search-safe`
- raw: `CPPFLAGS=-DCURL_CA_SEARCH_SAFE`
On Windows, before this patch the whole `PATH` was searched for
a CA bundle. `PATH` may contain unwanted or world-writable locations,
including the current directory. Searching them all is convenient to
pick up any CA bundle, but not secure.
The Muldersoft curl distro implements such CA search via a custom
patch for Windows:
cd652d4792/patch/curl_tool_doswin.diff (L50)
MSYS2/mingw-w64 distro has also been rolling a patch solving this:
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-curl/0001-Make-cURL-relocatable.patchhttps://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-curl/pathtools.c
Also add option to fully disable Windows CA search:
- cmake: `-DCURL_DISABLE_CA_SEARCH=ON`
- autotools: `--disable-ca-search`
- raw: `CPPFLAGS=-DCURL_DISABLE_CA_SEARCH`.
Both options are considered EXPERIMENTAL, with possible incompatible
changes or even (partial) removal in the future, depending on feedback.
An alternative, secure option is to embed the CA bundle into the binary.
Safe search can be extended to other platforms if necessary or useful,
by using `_NSGetExecutablePath()` (macOS),
`/proc/self/exe` (Linux/Cygwin), or `argv[0]`.

Before this patch, only these triplets were considered Apple:
`<cpu>-apple-darwin`
After this patch, these are also considered Apple:
`<cpu>-apple-(ios*|tvos*|visionos*|watchos*|<ETC>)`
`$host_os` (the last third of the triplet) still has a valid use
to differentiate between OS flavours, though for now this isn't
used, aligning with CMake.
Closes#14728
- cmake: drop `configure.os`.
This also includes OS version, but thus far it's not important enough
to include it.
- autotools: drop redundant, autotools-only `{target|host}.vendor`.
(it's part of the triplet in `{target|host}`.)
- swap order to `*.cpu` -> `*.os` to match triplet-order.
- cmake: drop redundant `target`.
It's manually filled and only in a (so far) few CI jobs. Let's revisit
when this becomes useful.
- move `buildinfo.txt` to build root.
- dist: add `buildinfo.txt` to `DISTCLEANFILES`.
- autotools: detect human readable compiler version.
- autotools: replace `XXYY` `compiler.version` with "X.Y"-style.
(also to match cmake.)
- autotools: use distinct `compiler_id` for Apple clang: `APPLECLANG`.
To match cmake and also because the the "X.Y"-style version number
is the Apple version, while `XXYY` was a value roughly translated to
mainline llvm/clang version.
- show buildinfo at the end of the configure stage, when run in CI, or
when `CURL_BUILDINFO` or `CURL_CI` env is set.

Change mingw-w64 printf format checks in public curl headers to use
`__MINGW_PRINTF_FORMAT` instead of `gnu_printf`. This syncs the format
checker with format string macros published via `curl/system.h`. (Also
disable format checks for mingw-w64 older than 3.0.0 (2013-09-20) and
classic-mingw, which do not support this macro.)
This fixes bogus format checker `-Wformat` warnings in 3rd party code
using curl format strings with the curl printf functions, when using
mingw-w64 7.0.0 (2019-11-10) and older (with GCC, MSVCRT).
It also allows to delete two workaounds for this within curl itself:
- setting `-D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1` for mingw-w64 via cmake and
configure for `docs/examples` and `tests/http/clients`.
Ref: c730c8549b#14640
The format check macro is incompatible (depending on mingw-w64 version
and configuration) with the C99 `%z` (`size_t`) format string used
internally by curl.
To work around this problem, override the format check style in curl
public headers to use `gnu_printf`. This is compatible with `%z` in all
mingw-w64 versions and allows keeping the C99 format strings internally.
Also:
- lib/ws.c: add missing space to an error message.
- docs/examples/ftpgetinfo.c: fix to use standard printf.

Bring the option name style in sync with cmake and with other configure
options aiming to enable something unrelated to an optional package.
(I initially named this new option `--with-windows-unicode` within this
release cycle.)
Follow-up to 9e4a2187e7#14478Closes#14746
For recently added/updated options:
windows-unicode, winidn, apple-idn
It looks like the second `AS_HELP_STRING()` must start in the first
column, otherwise its indentation will appear in the `--help` output,
and break unalignment with the rest.
(There must be a better way to tackle this.)
Update the script for test 1013 and 1014 to require:
- case-sensitive match for the curl feature list.
(Continue to allow case-difference for protocols. They've always been
in uppercase within curl config.)
- matching order for the protocol list.
(Continue to allow any order for features. autotools builds on
platforms without `sort -f` need it. E.g. Old Linux CI)
Also:
- fix casing of the `gsasl` feature in `configure`, to match `curl -V`
and cmake.
- delete obsolete comment.

Closes#14680
Before this patch, `libhostname.so` and `chkhostname` were a test
facility for overriding `gethostname()` in non-debug builds on
Linux and other Unix platforms supporting `LD_PRELOAD`.
`gethostname()` has a single use with SMTP.
The alternative way to override `gethostname()` is building in debug
mode, which allows to do this via the `CURL_GETHOSTNAME` env, on all
platforms.
Drop the `LD_PRELOAD` solution in favour of the above.
Also:
- delete inactive NTLM code with a `gethostname()` call made from it.
- streamline NTLM code by dropping a `printf()` and a macro.
- tests: stop setting `CURL_GETHOSTNAME` where unnecessary.
Closes#14695
- configure: disable pthreads by default on Windows.
- configure: disable detecting `fseeko()` on Windows.
(It exists in mingw-w64 2.0.0 and newer, but it's permanently ignored
in CMake, as this function is never necessary on Windows.)
- extend existing exceptions with their Windows variants.
- `lib/formdata.c`: prioritize `_fseeki64()` over `fseeko()`.
To reduce the difference between Windows builds, which now all use
`_fseeki64()`.
- cmake: perm-enable `HAVE_DIRENT_H` and `HAVE_OPENDIR` for mingw-w64,

If AppleIDN or WinIDN is selected, don't look for libidn2. Do this by
moving libidn2 detection after AppleIDN/WinIDN and skipping it if any
of them was selected.
Also:
- disable AppleIDN by default with autotools to sync behaviour with
CMake.
- limit WinIDN checks to native Windows with autotools, as with CMake.
Before this patch libidn2 was detected by default even if AppleIDN or
WinIDN was explicitly selected. libidn2 wasn't used in the build, but
it was left enabled as a dependency and appeared in `libcurl.pc` and
`curl-config`.
Closes#14674
Add tweak for mingw-w64 when building tests/http/client programs to
avoid a bogus `-Wformat` warning when using mingw-w64 v7.0.0 or older.
The warning is bogus because these programs use curl's `printf()`
implementation that is guaranteed to support that format spec.
Add this for both CMake and autotools. (But only CMake is CI tested with
an old toolchain.)
Apply the workaround to `docs/examples`, and fix an example to use
curl's `printf()` with `CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T`.
Reintroduce curl `printf()` calls into `tests/http/client`, via #14625.
