build:
- autotools: fix to build generated sources for the `tidy` target.
- autotools: allow passing custom clang-tidy options via
`CURL_CLANG_TIDYFLAGS` env.
- cmake: add `CURL_CLANG_TIDY` option to configure for `clang-tidy`.
Also add:
- `CLANG_TIDY` variable to customize the `clang-tidy` tool.
- `CURL_CLANG_TIDYFLAGS` to pass custom options to `clang-tidy`.
- apply `--enable-werror` and `-DCURL_WERROR=ON` to `clang-tidy`.
CI/GHA:
- add clang-tidy job for Linux, using autotools and clang-tidy v18.
This one needs to disable `clang-analyzer-valist.Uninitialized`
to avoid false positives:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/40656
Duration: 5.5 minutes
- add clang-tidy job for macOS, using cmake and clang-tidy v19.
This one also covers tests and examples, and doesn't hit the false
positives seen with llvm v18 and earlier.
Duration: 4.5 minutes
- Linux/macOS: skip installing test dependencies when not building or
running tests.
fix fallouts reported by `clang-tidy`:
- lib:
- cf-h2-proxy: unused assignment in non-debug builds.
- cf-socket: silence warning.
FIXME: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/15825#issuecomment-2561867769
- ftp: NULL passed to `strncmp()`.
- http2: NULL-ptr deref.
- mprintf: silence warning.
- src/tool_writeout: NULL passed to `fputs()`.
- examples:
- invalid file pointers.
- missing `fclose()`.
- tests:
- http/clients/hx-download: memory leaks on error.
- http/clients/hx-download: memory leak on repeat `-r` option.
- server: double `fclose()`.
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/fclose.3.html
- server: invalid file pointer/handle.
- server/getpart: unused assignments.
- server/mqttd: leak on failed `realloc()`.
- server/tftpd: NULL passed to `strcmp()`.
Closes#15825
This directory is for libcurl programming examples. They are meant to show
some simple steps on how you can build your own application to take full
advantage of libcurl.
If you end up with other small but still useful example sources, please mail
them for submission in future packages and on the website.
Building
The Makefile.example is an example Makefile that could be used to build
these examples. Just edit the file according to your system and requirements
first.
Most examples should build fine using a command line like this:
Please do not use the curl.se site as a test target for your libcurl
applications/experiments. Even if some of the examples use that site as a URL
at some places, it does not mean that the URLs work or that we expect you to
actually torture our website with your tests. Thanks.
Examples
Each example source code file is designed to be and work stand-alone and
rather self-explanatory. The examples may at times lack the level of error
checks you need in a real world, but that is then only for the sake of
readability: to make the code smaller and easier to follow.
