Closes#10205
This header is for providing the argument types for recv() and send()
when built to not use a dedicated config-[platfor].h file.
Remove the slow brute-force checks from configure and cmake.
This change also removes the use of the types for select, as they were
not used in code.
Closes#9592
autotools uses brute-force to detect `recv`/`send`/`select` argument
lists, by interating through _all_ argument type combinations on each
`./configure` run. This logic exists since
01fa02d0b5 (from 2006) and was a bit later
extended with Windows support.
This results in a worst-case number of compile + link cycles as below:
- `recv`: 96
- `send`: 192
- `select`: 60
Total: 348 (the number of curl C source files is 195, for comparison)
Notice that e.g. curl-for-win autotools builds require two `./configure`
invocations, doubling these numbers.
`recv` on Windows was especially unlucky because `SOCKET` (the correct
choice there) was listed _last_ in one of the outer trial loops. This
resulted in lengthy waits while autotools was trying all invalid
combinations first, wasting cycles, disk writes and slowing down
iteration.
This patch reduces the amount of idle work by reordering the tests in
a way to succeed first on a well-known platform such as Windows, and
also on non-Windows by testing for POSIX prototypes first, on the
assumption that these are the most likely candidates these days. (We do
not touch `select`, where the order was already optimal for these
platforms.)
For non-Windows, this means to try a return value of `ssize_t` first,
then `int`, reordering the buffer argument type to try `void *` first,
then `byte *`, and prefer the `const` flavor with `send`. If we are
here, also stop testing for `SOCKET` type in non-Windows builds.
After the patch, detection on Windows is instantaneous. It should also be
faster on popular platforms such as Linux and BSD-based ones.
If there are known-good variations for other platforms, they can also be
fast-tracked like above, given a way to check for that platform inside
the autotools logic.

Closes#9591
The code that detects bsdsocket.library for AmigaOS did not work
for AmigaOS 4.x. This has been fixed and also cleaned up a little
to reduce duplication. Wasn't technically necessary before, but is
required when building with AmiSSL instead of OpenSSL.
Closes#9268
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
In 2682e5f5, several instances of AC_HEADER_TIME were removed since
it is a deprecated autoconf macro. However, this was the macro that
defined TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME, which was used to indicate that <time.h>
can be included alongside <sys/time.h>. TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME is still
used in the configure test body and since it is no longer defined,
<time.h> is *not* included on systems that have <sys/time.h>.
In particular, at least on musl libc and glibc, <sys/time.h> does
not implicitly include <time.h> and does not declare clock_gettime,
gmtime_r, or localtime_r. This causes configure to fail to detect
those functions.
The AC_HEADER_TIME macro deprecation text says
> All current systems provide time.h; it need not be checked for.
> Not all systems provide sys/time.h, but those that do, all allow
> you to include it and time.h simultaneously.
So, to fix this issue, simply include <time.h> unconditionally when
testing for time-related functions and in libcurl, and don't bother
checking for it.
Closes#6859
AC_HELP_STRING is deprecated in 2.70+ and I believe AS_HELP_STRING works
already since 2.59 so bump the minimum required version to that.

Fixes#6647Closes#6748
Align conditions for NTLM features between CMake and configure
builds by differentiating between USE_NTLM and USE_CURL_NTLM_CORE,
just like curl_setup.h does internally to detect support of:
- USE_NTLM: required for NTLM crypto authentication feature
- USE_CURL_NTLM_CORE: required for SMB protocol
Implement USE_WIN32_CRYPTO detection by checking for Crypt functions
in wincrypt.h which are not available in the Windows App environment.
Link advapi32 and crypt32 for Crypto API and Schannel SSL backend.
Fix condition of Schannel SSL backend in CMake build accordingly.

We currently use both spellings the british "behaviour" and the american
"behavior". However "behavior" is more used in the project so I think
it's worth dropping the british name.

Whitespace is spelled without a space between white and space, so

AmiSSL is an Amiga native library which provides a wrapper over OpenSSL.
It also requires all programs using it to use bsdsocket.library
directly, rather than accessing socket functions through clib, which
libcurl was not necessarily doing previously. Configure will now check
for the headers and ensure they are included if found.
Closes#3677
This reverts commit d4f25201fb7da03fc88f90d51101beb3d0026db9.
The overloadable attribute is removed again starting from
NDK17. Actually they only exist in two NDK versions (15 and 16). With
overloadable, the first condition tried will succeed. Results in wrong
detection result.
Closes#3484
This change does two things:
1. It un-breaks the build in Xcode 9.0. (Xcode 9.0 is currently
failing trying to compile connectx() in lib/connect.c.)
2. It finally weak-links the connectx() function, and falls back on
connect() when run on older operating systems.
... since they now provide several functions as
__attribute__((overloadable)), the argument detection logic need
updates.

Some versions of test allow == for equality, but others (such as the HP-UX
version) do not. Use a single = for correctness.
Error output:
checking for monotonic clock_gettime... ./configure[20445]: ==: A test command parameter is not valid.
In addition to -miphoneos-version-min, the same version can be set
using -mios-version-min. And for WatchOS and TvOS, there's
-mwatchos-version-min and -mtvos-version-min.
