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
And a few variables around.
There remain cases where the accepted pointer is const, yet the returned
pointer is written to.
Partly addressing (glibc 2.43):
```
* For ISO C23, the functions bsearch, memchr, strchr, strpbrk, strrchr,
strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr that return
pointers into their input arrays now have definitions as macros that
return a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input argument is
a pointer to a const-qualified type.

Ref: #20420Closes#20421
- replace `sendf.h` with `curl_trc.h` where it was included just for it.
- drop unused `curl_trc.h` includes.
- easy: delete obsolete comment about `send.h` include reason.
Also:
- move out `curl_trc.h` include from `sendf.h` and include it directly
in users, where not done already. To flatten the include tree and
to less rely on indirect includes.
- stop including `sendf.h` from other headers, replace it with forward
declaration of `Curl_easy`, as done already elsewhere.
Verified with an all non-unity CI run.
Closes#20061
There remain some false positives, hits in test data, and `dir` use,

There is no plan to enforce badwords on tests.
Also:

(in Perl code).
Closes#19541
To make the source code match the functions called at runtime.
And to avoid the preprocessor trick that may introduces build issues.
Before this patch, libtests, tunits and units were calling a mixture
of curl and system printf calls, then transformed them all to curl
printf calls by including `curl_printf.h`.
Changes made:
- tests: stop including `curl_printf.h`.
- libtest: switch a couple of outlier system printf calls to curl
printf.
- unit: use more curl printf to avoid casts and show whole values.
- unit: switch remaining calls to curl printf explicitly.
- tunit: switch to call curl printf explicitly.
- libtest, tunit, unit: ban system printf.
- unit1307, unit1607, unit1609, unit1652, unit1655, unit3214: bump
types/masks to avoid casts.
After this patch:
- libtests, tunits, units: use exclusively curl printf.
(as before, but explicitly, without relying on redefinitions.)
- servers: is unchanged (it can only use system printf).
Closes#18814
To simplify dependencies, and sync tunits and units builds further.
`curlcheck.h` already depended on logic implemented within libtests:
it referenced a global variable (`unitfail`) defined in `first.c` and
declared in `test.h`.
Also:
- rename to `unitcheck.h` to indicate it's meant for unit tests.
- make `unitcheck.h` include `first.h` instead of `test.h`.
This brings header use closer to libtests. It also includes
`curlx/curlx.h` for all unit tests by default now.
- move `unitfail` declaration from `test.h` to `first.h`.
To match its definition in `first.c`.
- drop now redundant per-test curlx header includes.
Closes#17868
Make test bundles the default. Drop non-bundle build mode.
Also do all the optimizations and tidy-ups this allows, simpler builds,
less bundle exceptions, streamlined build mechanics.
Also rework the init/deinit macro magic for unit tests. The new method
allows using unique init/deinit function names, and calling them with
arguments. This is in turn makes it possible to reduce the use of global
variables.
Note this drop existing build options `-DCURL_TEST_BUNDLES=` from cmake
and `--enable-test-bundles` / `--disable-test-bundles` from autotools.
Also:
- rename test entry functions to have unique names: `test_<testname>`
This removes the last exception that was handled in the generator.
- fix `make dist` to not miss test sources with test bundles enabled.
- sync and merge `tests/mk-bundle.pl` into `scripts/mk-unity.pl`.
- mk-unity.pl: add `--embed` option and use it when `CURL_CLANG_TIDY=ON`
to ensure that `clang-tidy` does not miss external test C sources.
(because `clang-tidy` ignores code that's #included.)
- tests/unit: drop no-op setup/stop functions.
- tests: reduce symbol scopes, global macros, other fixes and tidy-ups.
- tool1621: fix to run, also fix it to pass.
- sockfilt: fix Windows compiler warning in certain unity include order,
by explicitly including `warnless.h`.

Using a mixture of techniques to avoid symbols collisions:
- reduce scope.
- add `t*_` / `T*_` prefix.
- move shared functions to `testutil.c`.
(`suburl()`, `rlim2str()`)
- clone re-used lib*.c sources.
(lib587, lib645)
- include shared symbols just once in re-used `lib*.c` sources.
(using `LIB*_C` guards.)
- drop re-used `lib*.c` sources where they were identical or
unused.
- make macros global.
- #undef macros before use.
What remain is the entry functions `test`, and `unit_setup`,
`unit_stop` in unit tests.
Also:
- fix formatting and other minor things along the way.
- add `const` where possible.
- sync some symbol names between tests.
- drop `mk-bundle-hints.sh` that's no longer necessary.
Closes#17468
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.

Closes#17253
Rework the event based handling of transfers and connections to
be "localized" into a single source file with clearer dependencies.
- add multi_ev.c and multi_ev.h
- add docs/internal/MULTI-EV.md to explain the overall workings
- only do event handling book keeping when the socket callback
is set
- add handling for "connection only" event tracking, when internal
easy handles are used that are not really tied to a connection.
Used in connection pool.
- remove transfer member "last_poll" and connections "shutdown_poll"
and keep all that internal to multi_ev.c
- add CURL_TRC_M() for tracing of "multi" related things, including
event handling and connection pool operations. Add new trace
feature "multi" for trace config.
multi traces will show exactly what is going on in regard to
event handling.
- multi: trace transfers "mstate" in every CURL_TRC_M() call
- make internal trace buffer 2048 bytes and end the silliness
with +n here -m there. Adjust test 1652 expectations of resulting
length and input edge cases.
- add trace feature "lib-ids" to perfix libcurl traces with transfer
and connection ids. Useful for debugging libcurl applications.

`CURL_TEMP_PRINTF()` but using `__printf__` to make it compatible

`--disable-verbose` / `CURL_DISABLE_VERBOSE_STRINGS=ON`.
- add internal `FALLTHROUGH()` macro.
- replace obsolete fall-through comments with `FALLTHROUGH()`.

warnings in most cases). Add missing ones. Fix indentation.
- silence `-Wformat-nonliteral` warnings with llvm/clang.
- fix one `-Wformat-nonliteral` warning.
- fix new `-Wformat` and `-Wformat-security` warnings.
- fix `CURL_FORMAT_SOCKET_T` value for mingw-w64. Also move its

The internal buffer in infof() is limited to 2048 bytes of payload plus
an additional byte for NULL termination. Servers with very long error
messages can however cause truncation of the string, which currently
isn't very clear, and leads to badly formatted output.
This appends a "...\n" (or just "..." in case the format didn't with a
newline char) marker to the end of the string to clearly show
that it has been truncated.
Also include a unittest covering infof() to try and catch any bugs
introduced in this quite important function.
