Make it possible to build curl for Windows CE using the CeGCC toolchain.
With both CMake and autotools, including tests and examples, also in CI.
The build configuration is the default one with Schannel enabled. No
3rd-party dependencies have been tested.
Also revive old code to make Schannel build with Windows CE, including
certificate verification.
Builds have been throughougly tested. But, I've made no functional tests
for this PR. Some parts (esp. file operations, like truncate and seek)
are stubbed out and likely broken as a result. Test servers build, but
they do not work on Windows CE. This patch substitutes `fstat()` calls
with `stat()`, which operate on filenames, not file handles. This may or
may not work and/or may not be secure.
About CeGCC: I used the latest available macOS binary build v0.59.1
r1397 from 2009, in native `mingw32ce` build mode. CeGCC is in effect
MinGW + GCC 4.4.0 + old/classic-mingw Windows headers. It targets
Windows CE v3.0 according to its `_WIN32_WCE` value. It means this PR
restores portions of old/classic-mingw support. It makes the Windows CE
codepath compatible with GCC 4.4.0. It also adds workaround for CMake,
which cannot identify and configure this toolchain out of the box.
Notes:
- CMake doesn't recognize CeGCC/mingw32ce, necessitating tricks as seen
with Amiga and MS-DOS.
- CMake doesn't set `MINGW` for mingw32ce. Set it and `MINGW32CE`
manually as a helper variable, in addition to `WINCE` which CMake sets
based on `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`.
- CMake fails to create an implib for `libcurl.dll`, due to not
recognizing the platform as a Windowsy one. This patch adds the
necessary workaround to make it work.
- headers shipping with CeGCC miss some things curl needs for Schannel
support. Fixed by restoring and renovating code previously deleted
old-mingw code.
- it's sometime non-trivial to figure out if a fallout is WinCE,
mingw32ce, old-mingw, or GCC version-specific.
- WinCE is always Unicode. With exceptions: no `wmain`,
`GetProcAddress()`.
- `_fileno()` is said to convert from `FILE *` to `void *` which is
a Win32 file `HANDLE`. (This patch doesn't use this, but with further
effort it probably could be.)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3989545/how-do-i-get-the-file-handle-from-the-fopen-file-structure
- WinCE has no signals, current directory, stdio/CRT file handles, no
`_get_osfhandle()`, no `errno`, no `errno.h`. Some of this stuff is
standard C89, yet missing from this platform. Microsoft expects
Windows CE apps to use Win32 file API and `FILE *` exclusively.
- revived CeGCC here (not tested for this PR):

On `UNDER_CE` vs. `_WIN32_WCE`: (This patch settled on `UNDER_CE`)
- A custom VS2008 WinCE toolchain does not set any of these.
The compiler binaries don't contain these strings, and has no compiler
option for targeting WinCE, hinting that a vanilla toolchain isn't
setting any of them either.
- `UNDER_CE` is automatically defined by the CeGCC compiler.
https://cegcc.sourceforge.net/docs/details.html
- `UNDER_CE` is similar to `_WIN32`, except it's not set automatically
by all compilers. It's not supposed to have any value, like a version.
(Though e.g. OpenSSL sets it to a version)
- `_WIN32_WCE` is the CE counterpart of the non-CE `_WIN32_WINNT` macro.
That does return the targeted Windows CE version.
- `_WIN32_WCE` is not defined by compilers, and relies on a header
setting it to a default, or the build to set it to the desired target
version. This is also how `_WIN32_WINNT` works.
- `_WIN32_WCE` default is set by `windef.h` in CeGCC.
- `_WIN32_WCE` isn't set to a default by MSVC Windows CE headers (the
ones I checked at least).
- CMake sets `_WIN32_WCE=<ver>`, `UNDER_CE`, `WINCE` for MSVC WinCE.
- `_WIN32_WCE` seems more popular in other projects, including CeGCC
itself. `zlib` is a notable exception amongst curl dependencies,
which uses `UNDER_CE`.
- Since `_WIN32_WCE` needs "certain" headers to have it defined, it's
undefined depending on headers included beforehand.
- `curl/curl.h` re-uses `_WIN32_WCE`'s as a self-guard, relying on
its not-(necessarily)-defined-by-default property:

Use 'banfunc' and 'allowfunc' in .checksrc to specify which functions to
ban or allow to be used. This saves us from having to edit the script
going forward when we want to ban or allow specific functions.
This replaces a set of previous rules and all banned functions are now
checked with the BANNEDFUNC rule.
There is a set of default banned functions, shown by invoking
./checksrc.
Also, -a and -b options are added to specify allowed or banned functions
on the command line.

A new error code to be used when an internal field grows too large, like
when a dynbuf reaches its maximum. Previously it would return
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY for this, which is highly misleading.
Ref: #12268Closes#12269
Windows compilers define `_WIN32` automatically. Windows SDK headers
or build env defines `WIN32`, or we have to take care of it. The
agreement seems to be that `_WIN32` is the preferred practice here.
Make the source code rely on that to detect we're building for Windows.
Public `curl.h` was using `WIN32`, `__WIN32__` and `CURL_WIN32` for
Windows detection, next to the official `_WIN32`. After this patch it
only uses `_WIN32` for this. Also, make it stop defining `CURL_WIN32`.
There is a slight chance these break compatibility with Windows
compilers that fail to define `_WIN32`. I'm not aware of any obsolete
or modern compiler affected, but in case there is one, one possible
solution is to define this macro manually.
grepping for `WIN32` remains useful to discover Windows-specific code.
Also:
- extend `checksrc` to ensure we're not using `WIN32` anymore.
- apply minor formatting here and there.
- delete unnecessary checks for `!MSDOS` when `_WIN32` is present.

- Add these revocation errors to sspi error list:
CRYPT_E_NO_REVOCATION_DLL, CRYPT_E_NO_REVOCATION_CHECK,
CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE and CRYPT_E_NOT_IN_REVOCATION_DATABASE.
Prior to this change those error codes were not matched to their macro
name and instead shown as "unknown error".
Before:
schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed:
Unknown error (0x80092013) - The revocation function was
unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline.
After:
schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed:
CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE (0x80092013) - The revocation function was

Fixes#8083Closes#8089
Previously, the return code CURLUE_MALFORMED_INPUT was used for almost
30 different URL format violations. This made it hard for users to
understand why a particular URL was not acceptable. Since the API cannot
point out a specific position within the URL for the problem, this now
instead introduces a number of additional and more fine-grained error
codes to allow the API to return more exactly in what "part" or section
of the URL a problem was detected.
Also bug-fixes curl_url_get() with CURLUPART_ZONEID, which previously
returned CURLUE_OK even if no zoneid existed.
Test cases in 1560 have been adjusted and extended. Tests 1538 and 1559
have been updated.
Updated libcurl-errors.3 and curl_url_strerror() accordingly.
Closes#8049
Add curl_url_strerror() to convert CURLUcode into readable string and
facilitate easier troubleshooting in programs using URL API.
Extend CURLUcode with CURLU_LAST for iteration in unit tests.
Update man pages with a mention of new function.
Update example code and tests with new functionality where it fits.
Closes#7605
We have and provide Curl_strerror() internally for a reason: strerror()

- Change get_winapi_error() to return the error string in the local
codepage instead of UTF-8 encoding.
Two weeks ago bed5f84 fixed get_winapi_error() to work on xbox, but it
also changed the error string's encoding from local codepage to UTF-8.
We return the local codepage version of the error string because if it
is output to the user's terminal it will likely be with functions which
expect the local codepage (eg fprintf, failf, infof).
This is essentially a partial revert of bed5f84. The support for xbox
remains but the error string is reverted back to local codepage.

Failures clearly returned from a (SOCKS) proxy now causes this return
code. Previously the situation was not very clear as what would be

returns a value from the new 'CURLproxycode' enum.

- In all code call Curl_winapi_strerror instead of Curl_strerror when
the error code is known to be from Windows GetLastError.
Curl_strerror prefers CRT error codes (errno) over Windows API error

is from GetLastError it is more accurate to prefer the Windows API error
messages.

- Use FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS to ignore format specifiers in
Windows error strings.
Since we are not in control of the error code we don't know what
information may be needed by the error string's format specifiers.
Prior to this change Windows API error strings which contain specifiers
(think specifiers like similar to printf specifiers) would not be shown.
The FormatMessage Windows API call which turns a Windows error code into
a string could fail and set error ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER if that error
string contained a format specifier. FormatMessage expects a va_list for
the specifiers, unless inserts are ignored in which case no substitution
is attempted.
