Verify if lines are not longer than 192 characters. Also verify if lines
have less than 79 repeat spaces (and fix one fallout).
To improve readability by avoiding long lines and to prevent adding
overly long lines with text that may go unnoticed in an editor or diff
viewer.
In addition to pre-existing line length limits: 79 for C, 132 for CMake
sources.
Also:
- spacecheck: fix/harden allowlist regexes.
- spacecheck: tidy-up quotes and simplify escaping.
- spacecheck: allow folding strings with repeat spaces.
- GHA: fix a suppressed shellcheck warning.
- GHA/macos: simplify by dropping brew bundle.
- test1119.pl: precompile a regex.
- FAQ.md: delete very long link to a Windows 7/2008 support article
that's lost it relevance.
Closes#21087
- librtmp has no test cases, makes no proper releases and has not had a
single commit within the last year
- librtmp parses the URL itself and requires non-compliant URLs for this
- we have no RTMP tests
- RTMP was used by 2.2% of curl users (self-identified in the 2025
survey)
Closes#20673
Also:
- support per-directory and per-upper-directory whitelist entries.
- convert badlist input grep tweak into the above format.
(except for 'And' which had just a few hits.)
- fix many code exceptions, but do not enforce.
(there also remain about 350 'will' uses in lib)
- fix badwords in example code, drop exceptions.
- badwords-all: convert to Perl.
To make it usable from CMake.
- FAQ: reword to not use 'will'. Drop exception.
Closes#20886
It's mostly a filler word. I've read through each use of it in the code
base and did minor rephrasings when "simply" carried some meaning. The
overwhelming majority of cases, removing it improved the text
significantly. Inspired by #20793.
Closes#20822
During conversion of `docs/FAQ` into Markdown, 'man ld' has incorrectly
kept one of its quotes when it was surrounded by backticks for inline
code formatting. A space on the left of it was lost as well.
Fix the formatting in the new `docs/FAQ.md`.
Closes#20812
- drop stray duplicate empty lines in docs, scripts, test data, include,
examples, tests.
- drop duplicate PP parenthesis.
- curl-functions.m4: move literals to the right side in if expressions,
to match rest of the source code.
- FAQ.md: delete language designator from an URL.
- packages: apply clang-format (OS400, VMS).
- scripts/schemetable.c: apply clang-format.
- data320: delete duplicate empty line that doesn't change the outcome.
- spacecheck: extend to check for duplicate empty lines
(with exceptions.)
- fix whitespace nits
Closes#19936
