Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/21107#issuecomment-4163506100
Follow-up to 5172ba5475#21107Closes#21181
It's been going on for almost a year, chances seem slim to have this
fixed upstream.
The observed issue is that on GitHub-supplied CI runner images,
sometimes, `apt-get install` using the stock distro server
`http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu` sees extreme slowness while
downloading data, then reaching the job timeout and aborting, making CI
red and necessitating a manual restart of the failed job(s).
In majority of cases the install step takes no longer than 8-40 seconds
(download + install), while in the failing case it takes 10-20+ minutes
just to download.
Earlier I slimmed down installs to avoid unnecessary packages, which
mitigated, but did not completely fix the issue.

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

survey)

Closes#20140
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.

Also:
- GHA/codeql: use it.
- test1165: check in `include/curl`.
- lib1912: delete stray todo comment.
- spelling and comment nits.
Closes#19637
Turns out the cause of CodeQL hangs (or probably just extreme long
compile) is the header `curl/typecheck-gcc.h`. By accident I noticed
that the preprocessed output of libtests.c is 75 MB (megabytes). This
is much higher than the amounf of source code hinted, also compared to
e.g. units.c or other build targets. The reason for the extreme size
is each easy option call pulling in the large checker logic defined
in this header.
By compiling with `-DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK`, preprocessed output drops
to 2.2 MB (34x), and the libtests target builds without issues.
Also build all tests and examples with the Linux HTTP/3 config, covering
3 more files.
With these, CodeQL C coverage is 893 out of 930 (96%) (was: 645 69%)

To silence zizmor 1.16.0 warnings.
Also:
- http3-linux: replace hard-coded workflow name with variable.
Follow-up to a8174176b5#13841
- codeql: set `cancel-in-progress: true`.
zizmor apparently does not allow `false` in pedantic mode anymore:

(I'm not sure this is correct, or why it was previously special-cased.)

The kerberos5 library Heimdal is one of three GSS libraries curl support.
It has a memory leak triggered by the new test in #18917 and the project
seems mostly abandoned.
Drop support and steer users to the MIT krb5 or GNU GSS libraries.

After this patch the check takes 30s, up from a fraction of a second.
Also bump CodeQL actions to their latest version.
Closes#18827
To test it in GHA and catch issues at PR time. Before this patch,
Circle CI caught them after pushing to master (or non-fork PR
branches.) GHA also run runtests, pytests and static analysis on
these builds, after this patch.
- GHA/linux: enable no-verbose in an existing job.
- GHA/linux: enable no-verbose in the H3 scan-build job too.
- GHA/macos: enable no-verbose in one build (= 3 jobs with different
compilers).
- GHA/codeql: enable no-verbose in the MultiSSL Linux build.
- circleci: delete openssl no-verbose job in favor of the above.
Closes#18797
In an attempt to make `brew install` commands initialize faster.
Often this command started with 20-50 seconds of delay before this
patch. This is an attempt to make it launch faster.
Cherry-picked from #18736
This is an effort to pass more code through clang-tidt and scan-build
static analyzers. Following CodeQL Linux jobs.
GHA/codeql:
- also build with libssh.
- disable verbose output in build steps.
GHA/linux:
- enable more build options for the clang-tidy and scan-build jobs:
libidn2, nghttp2, ldap, kerberos, rtmp, gnutls, gsasl, rustls,
mbedtls, wolfssl
Use Linuxbrew where necessary.
- also enable ECH, gssapi in the scan-build job.
- fix 'scanbuild' to be 'scan-build' in the job name.
GHA/macos:
- build with Rustls in the clang-tidy job.
- add a new clang-tidy job to test HTTP/3 (with openssl + ngtcp2).
- build with libssh in one of the clang-tidy jobs.
- build with LibreSSL in the MultiSSL clang-tidy job.
- build with heimdal and kerberos in the clang-tidy jobs respectively.
- build with OpenLDAP in one clang-tidy job.
- add support for `skipall`, `skiprun` job options, and use it.
Closes#18660
- add HTTP/3 build with OpenSSL 3.5, nghttp3 and ngtcp2.

- build servers (also on Windows), and tunits.
- use Linuxbrew to install build dependencies missing from Ubuntu.
Coverage is now 466 C files. (was: 446)
