Use a thread queue and pool for asnyc threaded DNS resolves.
Add pytest test_21_* for verification.
Add `CURLMOPT_RESOLVE_THREADS_MAX` to allow applications to
resize the thread pool used.
Add `CURLMOPT_QUICK_EXIT` to allow applications to skip thread
joins when cleaning up a multi handle. Multi handles in
`curl_easy_perform()` inherit this from `CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT`.
Add several debug environment variables for testing.
Closes#20936
The two bitmask constants for *CLEAR_DNS and *CLEAR_CONNS were
duplicates (both set to 1), so they cannot be distinguished and both
actions fire.
This shipped in public releases since 8.16.0 to and include 8.19.0.
This fix adds CURLMNWC_CLEAR_ALL to be the new 1, and it now implies all
bits. The DNS and CONNS defines get two new bits (2, 4).

It's mostly a filler word. I've read through each use of it in the code

Mask these macros to a 32-bit domain so they do not set high bits and

Drop separate `TrackMemory` (aka `CURLDEBUG`) debug feature.
After recent changes (thread-safety,
193cb00ce9, and updates leading up to
it), `TrackMemory` is unlikely to cause build or runtime issues.
To simplify builds and debug options, enable `TrackMemory`
unconditionally for debug-enabled (aka `DEBUGBUILD`) builds. Before
this patch, this was already the default, with an option to disable
it, or enable it in non-debug-enabled builds.
Note, in practice these two debug options already went hand in hand. It
was not possible to toggle them separately for a long time due to bugs,
before 59dc9f7e69 (2024-05-28) fixed it.
This patch also removes/deprecates separate knobs and feature flags for
`TrackMemory`:
- autotools: `--enable-curldebug`/`--disable-curldebug`
- cmake: `-DENABLE_CURLDEBUG=ON`/`OFF`
- C macro: `CURLDEBUG`
- libcurl: `CURL_VERSION_CURLDEBUG` symbol deprecated in favor
of `CURL_VERSION_DEBUG`. They always return the same value after this
patch.
Also:
- drop `TrackMemory` from `curl -V` output.
- rename internal `CURLDEBUG` macro to `CURL_MEMDEBUG` internally.
To avoid confusion with `DEBUGBUILD`, but to keep guarding
`TrackMemory`-related internals for readability.
- runtests: bind `TrackMemory` to debug feature. Keep it a separate
test feature requirement, for clarity.
- CI: drop test builds for combinations of the two options.
- GHA/linux: no longer disable TrackMemory in the TSAN job.

Usage:
- autotools: `--disable-typecheck` (or `--enable-typecheck` (default))
- cmake: `-DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK=ON`.
To disable `curl_easy_setopt()`/`curl_easy_getinfo()` type checking with
supported (new) gcc and clang compilers. It is useful to improve build
performance for the `tests/libtest` target. In particular the CodeQL
analyzer may take above an hour to compile with type checking enabled,
and disabling it brings it down to seconds. On local machines it may
also cut build times in half when build testdeps, depending on platform
and compiler.
Other than these cases, we recommend leaving type checking enabled.

Windows CE support was limited to successful builds with ming32ce
(a toolchain that hasn't seen an update since 2009, using an ancient gcc
version and "old mingw"-style SDK headers, that curl deprecated earlier).
Builds with MSVC were broken for a long time. mingw32ce builds were never
actually tested and runtime and unlikely to work due to missing stubs.
Windows CE toolchains also miss to comply with C89. Paired with lack of
demand and support for the platform, curl deprecated it earlier.
This patch removes support from the codebase to ease maintaining Windows
codepaths.

`-Weverything` is not enabled by curl, and not recommended by LLVM,
because it may enable experimental options, and will result in new
fallouts after toolchain upgrades. This patch aims to fix/silence as much
as possible as found with llvm/clang 21.1.0. It also permanently enables
warnings that were fixed in source and deemed manageable in the future.
`-Wformat` warnings are addressed separately via #18343.
Fix/silence warnings in the source:
- typecheck-gcc.h: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- lib: silence `-Wcast-function-type-strict`.
For llvm 16+ or Apple clang 16+.
- asyn-ares: limit `HAPPY_EYEBALLS_DNS_TIMEOUT` to old c-ares versions.
- curl_trc: fix `-Wc++-hidden-decl`.
- doh: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- ftp: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- ldap: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- mqtt: comment unused macro to avoid warning.
- multi_ev: drop unused macros to avoid warnings.
- setopt: fix useless `break;` after `return;`.
- gtls, mbedtls, rustls: silence `-Wconditional-uninitialized`.
- socks_sspi, schannel, x509asn1: fix `-Wimplicit-int-enum-cast`.
- x509asn1: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- openssl: scope `OSSL_UI_METHOD_CAST` to avoid unused macro warning.
- libssh2, wolfssl: drop unused macros.
- curl_ngtcp2, curl_quiche, httpsrr, urlapi: drop/limit unused macros.
- tool_getparam: fix useless `break;` after `return;` or `break;`.
Not normally enabled because it doesn't work with unity.
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/71046
- tool_operate: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- curlinfo: fix a `-Wunsafe-buffer-usage`.
- tests: silence `-Wformat-non-iso`.
- lib557: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- lib1565: silence `-Wconditional-uninitialized`.
Enable the above clang warnings permanently in picky mode:
- `-Wc++-hidden-decl`
- `-Wc++-keyword` (except for Windows, where it collides with `wchar_t`)
- `-Wcast-function-type-strict`
- `-Wcast-function-type`
- `-Wconditional-uninitialized`
- `-Wformat-non-iso` (except for clang-cl)
- `-Wreserved-identifier`
- `-Wtentative-definition-compat`
Silence problematic `-Weverything` warnings globally (in picky mode):
- `-Wused-but-marked-unused` (88000+ hits) and
`-Wdisabled-macro-expansion` (2600+ hits).
Triggered by `typecheck-gcc.h` when building with clang 14+.
Maybe there exists a way to fix within that header?
Ref: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/removing-wused-but-marked-unused/55310
- `-Wunsafe-buffer-usage`. clang 16+. 7000+ hits.
May be useful in theory, but such high volume of hits makes it
impractical to review and possibly address. Meant for C++.

- `-Wswitch-default` (180+ hits), `-Wswitch-enum` (190+ hits),
`-Wcovered-switch-default` (20+ hits).
Next to impossible to fix cleanly, esp. when the covered `case`
branches depend on compile-time options.
- `-Wdocumentation-unknown-command` (8+ hits).
Triggered in a few sources. Seems arbitrary and bogus.
- `-Wpadded` (550+ hits).
- `-Wc++-keyword` on Windows, where it collides with `wchar_t`.
(100+ hits)
Ref: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/155988
- `-Wreserved-macro-identifier`. clang 13+. 5+ hits.
Sometimes it's necessary to set external macros that use
the reserved namespace. E.g. `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE`,
`__ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__`, `__NO_NET_API`,
possibly `_REENTRANT`, and more.
It's not worth trying to silence them individually.
- `-Wnonportable-system-include-path` with `clang-cl`.
It'd be broken by doing what the warning suggests.
- `-Wformat-non-iso` for clang-cl.
CMake `PICKY_COMPILER=ON` (the default) or `./configure`
`--enable-warnings` (not the default) is required to enable these
silencing rules.
Also:
- autotools, cmake: fix Apple clang and mainline llvm version translations.

* CURLMINFO_XFERS_PENDING: number of pending transfers
* CURLMINFO_XFERS_DONE: number of finished transfers to read
* CURLMINFO_XFERS_ADDED: total number of transfers added, ever
