- curl_setup.h: replace `_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE` with
`_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS`, which seems to be the preferred,
more recent macro for this. Also syncing with libssh2.
They are equivalent for curl sources with the supported compilers.
- cmake: stop setting `_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE` globally for examples.
- examples: suppress CRT deprecation warnings on a per-file basis.
To make it work when compiling examples out of curl's build systems.
Use `_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS`.
- examples: document the functions requiring `_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS`.
- examples/block_ip: delete superfluous `_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS`.
- examples/block_ip: limit `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE` to MSVC.
- examples/log_failed_transfers: fix to set `_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS`
before headers and limit to MSVC.
- curl_setup.h: document which SDKs support `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE`.
Closes#19175
Also:
- delete dead code.
- sync `http2-download.c` and `http2-upload.c` sources.
- simplessl: fix constant expression.
- simplessl: avoid `expression is constant` VS2010 warning, drop pragma.
- replace large stack buffers with dynamic allocation.
- http2-download: fix to fill transfer number.
Some of these were pointed out by TIOBE scanner via Coverity 2025.3.0.
Closes#19292
- add `curl_global_init()` and `curl_global_cleanup()` where missing.
- check the result of `curl_global_init()` where missing.
- return the last curl error from `main()`.
- drop Win32-specific socket initialization in favor of `curl_global_init()`.
- rename some outliers to `res` for curl result code.
- fix cleanup in some error cases.
Inspired by Joshua's report on examples.
Closes#19053
- codespell: break logic out into its own runnable script. Allowing
to run it on local machines.
- codespell: install via `pip`, bump to latest version.
- codespell: show version number in CI log.
- codespell: drop no longer needed word exception: `msdos`.
- codespell: include all curl source tree, except `packages` and
`winbuild`. Drop an obsolete file exclusion.
- add new spellchecker job using the `typos` tool. It includes
the codespell dictionary and a couple more. Use linuxbrew to install
it. This takes 10 seconds, while installing via `cargo` from source
would take over a minute.
- codespell: introduce an inline ignore filter compatible with `cspell`
Make `typos` recognize it, too. Move single exceptions inline.
Fix new typos found. Also rename variables and words to keep
spellchecking exceptions at minumum. This involves touching some tests.
Also switch base64 strings to `%b64[]` to avoid false positives.

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
- Move `docs/examples` builds under a separate target.
- Make `BUILD_EXAMPLES` default to `ON`. It means to generate the rules
for `docs/examples` by default, but not build them. To build them,
an explicit `make curl-examples` (or ninja, etc) command is necessary.
This syncs behaviour with autotools, and also how both cmake and
autotools are building tests.
- GHA: update cmake jobs to use the new way of building examples.
- GHA: move examples build step at the end of the job, after building
and running tests. This allows to have build and test run results
faster, and leave the seldom-changing examples build to the end.
Building examples is the slowest build step with no practical way to
make them fast.
- appveyor: enable building examples in two old-MSVC jobs.
- examples: fix examples to build cleanly with old MSVC versions.
- GHA/non-native: move example build log under a GHA foldable section.
- GHA/windows: move building examples into separate step for Linux cross
jobs.

- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
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
All plain C examples now (mostly) adhere to the curl code style. While
they are only examples, they had diverted so much and contained all
sorts of different mixed code styles by now. Having them use a unified
style helps users and readability. Also, as they get copy-and-pasted
widely by users, making sure they're clean and nice is a good idea.
573 checksrc warnings were addressed.
All C and H files now (should) feature the proper project curl source
code header, which includes basic info, a copyright statement and some
basic disclaimers.
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.
Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)
