The maximum size is set to 16MB.
It should not possible to call this function with this large input, but
this is a precaution to catch mistakes and replaces the earlier check on
architectures with small size_t.
Closes#19280
- tool_formparse: replace truncated `fseek` with `curlx_fseek`.
- tool_operate: replace truncated `fseek` with `curlx_fseek`.
- tool_paramhlp: replace local duplicate `myfseek`, with `curlx_fseek`.

After this patch, the codebase no longer overrides system printf
functions. Instead it explicitly calls either the curl printf functions
`curl_m*printf()` or the system ones using their original names.
Also:
- drop unused `curl_printf.h` includes.
- checksrc: ban system printf functions, allow where necessary.

For `GetLastError()` and `SECURITY_STATUS`:
0x-prefixed, 8-digit, lowercase, hex: 0x1234abcd
Also: say `GetLastError()` instead of `errno` in one message.
Closes#18877
- curlx_get_winapi_error: accept DWORD (was: int), move casts one level

- sspi: bump some types to `SECURITY_STATUS` (int -> LONG).
- digest_sspi: drop unnecessary cast.
Closes#18868
Also:
- tests/server: replace local `sstrerror()` with `curlx_strerror()`.
- tests/server: show the error code next to the string, where missing.
- curlx: use `curl_msnprintf()` when building for src and tests.
(units was already using it.)
- lib: drop unused includes found along the way.
- curlx_strerror(): avoid compiler warning (and another similar one):

By making them defaults, then fixing and/or reshuffling remaining
exceptions as necessary.
- checksrc: ban by default: `snprintf`, `vsnprintf`, `sscanf`, `strtol`.
- examples: replace `strtol` with `atoi` to avoid a checksrc exception.
- tests/libtest: replace `strtol` with `atol`.
- tests/server: replace most `strtol` with `atol`.
- tests/server: replace most `strtoul` with `atol`/`atoi`.
- tests/server: drop no longer used `util_ultous`.
- fix typo in checksrc rules: `vsnprint` -> `vsnprintf`.
- update local exceptions.
Also:
- examples: ban curl printf functions. They're discouraged in user code.
- examples: replace curl printf with system printf.
Add `snprintf` workaround for <VS2015.
- examples/synctime: fix `-Wfloat-equal`.
- examples/synctime: exclude for non-Windows and non-UWP Windows.
- examples/synctime: build by default.

Closes#18803
Replace them by `curlx_open()` and `curlx_stat()`.
To make it obvious in the source code what is being executed.
Also:
- tests/server: stop overriding `open()` for test servers.
This is critical for the call made from the signal handler.
For other calls, it's an option to use `curlx_open()`, but
doesn't look important enough to do it, following the path
taken with `fopen()`.

By introducing wrappers for them in the curlx namespace:
`curlx_fopen()`, `curlx_fdopen()`, `curlx_fclose()`.
The undefine/redefine/`(function)()` methods broke on systems
implementing these functions as macros. E.g. AIX 32-bit's `fopen()`.
Also:
- rename `lib/fopen.*` to `lib/curl_fopen.*` (for `Curl_fopen()`)
to make room for the newly added `curlx/fopen.h`.
- curlx: move file-related functions from `multibyte.c` to `fopen.c`.
- tests/server: stop using the curl-specific `fopen()` implementation
on Windows. Unicode isn't used by runtests, and it isn't critical to
run tests on longs path. It can be re-enabled if this becomes
necessary, or if the wrapper receives a feature that's critical for
test servers.

`-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++.

C++ warning, deemed pure noise.

- `-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.

- autotools, cmake: enable `-Warray-compare` for clang 20+.

We used to treat 0 as "call strlen() to get the length" for
curlx_base64_encode, but it turns out this is rather fragile as we
easily do the mistake of passing in zero when the data is actually not
there and then calling strlen() is wrong.
Force the caller to pass in the correct size. A zero length input string
now returns a zero length output and a NULL pointer.
Closes#18617
Do not declare local inet_pton/inet_ntop implementations when they are

- curl_trc: fix errors with !http + http3.
- curl_trc: fix missing function with !http + nghttp2.
- cf-h2-proxy: disable when !http + nghttp2, to avoid calling undeclared

- sha256: fix missing declaration in rare configs.
- md4: fix symbol conflict when building GnuTLS together with AWS-LC or
wolfSSL. By prioritizing the latter two. AWS-LC has no option
to disable the clashing symbol. wolfSSL does, but the most seamless is
to skip including GnuTLS's standalone `md4.h` to avoid the clash.
- build: fix errors with !http + nghttp2.
- build: catch !ssl + ssls-export combination in source. Convert
build-level errors to warnings.
- build: fix errors with !http + http3.
- build: fix building curl tool and unit1302 in rare combinations.
By always compiling base64 curlx functions.
- cmake: add `_CURL_SKIP_BUILD_CERTS` internal option.
To disable automatically building certs with the testdeps target.
To improve performance when testing builds.

- 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.

- docs/examples: formatting.
- docs/examples: simplify some `sizeof()`s.
Closes#17764
The `#undef` hack is no longer necessary after changing the redifitions
to not map back to the original symbols.
This makes it unnecessary to repeat the redefinitions after compiling
`warnless.c` itself (in unity mode).
Which in turns makes it unnecessary to include `warnless.h` again, to
trigger such redefinition.
This also means that `read`/`write` are now redefined on Windows from
the first inclusion of `warnless.h`.
Also:
- tests/server: drop a repeat `warnless.h` include, that is unnecessary
after this patch.
- tests/unit: drop repeat `warnless.h` include.
- tests/libtest: drop repeat `warnless.h` includes.
- tests/libtest: formatting.

Move curlx_ functions into its own subdir.
The idea is to use the curlx_ prefix proper on these functions, and use
these same function names both in tool, lib and test suite source code.
Stop the previous special #define setup for curlx_ names.
The printf defines are now done for the library alone. Tests no longer
use the printf defines. The tool code sets its own defines. The printf
functions are not curlx, they are publicly available.
The strcase defines are not curlx_ functions and should not be used by
tool or server code.
dynbuf, warnless, base64, strparse, timeval, timediff are now proper
curlx functions.
When libcurl is built statically, the functions from the library can be
used as-is. The key is then that the functions must work as-is, without
having to be recompiled for use in tool/tests. This avoids symbol
collisions - when libcurl is built statically, we use those functions
directly when building the tool/tests. When libcurl is shared, we
build/link them separately for the tool/tests.
