- drop stray duplicate empty lines in docs, scripts, test data, include,
examples, tests.
- drop duplicate PP parenthesis.
- curl-functions.m4: move literals to the right side in if expressions,
to match rest of the source code.
- FAQ.md: delete language designator from an URL.
- packages: apply clang-format (OS400, VMS).
- scripts/schemetable.c: apply clang-format.
- data320: delete duplicate empty line that doesn't change the outcome.
- spacecheck: extend to check for duplicate empty lines
(with exceptions.)
- fix whitespace nits
Closes#19936
There remain some false positives, hits in test data, and `dir` use,
around 100 issues in total.
There is no plan to enforce badwords on tests.
Also:
- badwords.txt: let a few `manpage[s]` occurrences through
(in Perl code).
Closes#19541
Add script to run all Perl sources through `perl -c` to ensure no
issues, and run this script via GHA/checksrc in CI.
Fallouts:
- fix two repeated declarations.
- move `shell_quote()` from `testutil.pm` to `pathhelp.pm`, to
avoid circular dependency in `globalconfig.pm`.
Closes#18745
Replace `Cwd::abs_path()` with `File::Spec->rel2abs()`. The former
requires the file to exist, but in some cases, it's missing.
Seen in MSVC vcpkg jobs using Chocolatey OpenSSH v8.0.0.1 ending up with
`$path=/d/a/curl/curl/bld/tests/log/3/server/ssh_server.pid`, which does
not exist while converting to an absolute path (the path is already
absolute, but the conversion is done unconditionally):
```
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at D:/a/curl/curl/tests/pathhelp.pm line 128.
can't convert empty path at D:/a/curl/curl/tests/pathhelp.pm line 128.

Also ignore 3 new libssh2 jobs failing due to memleak.
Partial revert of 1bd5ac998b#16570Closes#16636
Instead of calling the shell and external tools, rely on Perl functions
like `Cwd::getcwd()`, `Cwd::abs_path()`, `Cygwin::posix_to_win_path()`,
`Cygwin::win_to_posix_path()` to retrieve the current directory and
convert between POSIX and Windows formats.
This adds native Windows Perl support, avoids most failure modes and
makes format guessing and other internal functions unnecessary.
Also:
- delete unused `sys_native_path()`.
- delete redundant `normalize_path()` because Perl `abs_path()` already
does it.
Cherry-picked from #14949Closes#15111
- add variable for the null device filename and use that in Perl code.
- initialize this variable with `NUL` on native Windows.
- add `%DEV_NULL` variable and use it in tests.
Fixes `The system cannot find the path specified.` messages seen when
running `runtests.pl` with native Windows Perl.
Also adjust code to not break mcedit syntax highlighting.
Cherry-picked from #14949Closes#15098
- when server are killed by a test case, do not wait for the server lock
file to go away. These tests are mostly about client timeouts and the
server will hang until killed.
- when killing a server successfully, check for a remaining lock file,
log its existence and remove it.
- lower the delay timings on SLOWDOWN by half
- add SLOWDOWNDATA server command to only slow down the FTP data bytes,
not the control ones.
- lower some timeout values
Closes#14835
Use these words and casing more consistently across text, comments and
one curl tool output:
AIX, ALPN, ANSI, BSD, Cygwin, Darwin, FreeBSD, GitHub, HP-UX, Linux,
macOS, MS-DOS, MSYS, MinGW, NTLM, POSIX, Solaris, UNIX, Unix, Unicode,
WINE, WebDAV, Win32, winbind, WinIDN, Windows, Windows CE, Winsock.
Mostly OS names and a few more.
Also a couple of other minor text fixups.
Closes#14360
The checkcmd() and checktestcmd() functions would not have worked on
Windows due to hard-coding the UNIX PATH separator character and not
adding .exe file extension. This meant that tools like stunnel, valgrind
and nghttpx would not have been found and used on Windows, and
inspection of previous test runs show none of those being found in pure
Windows CI builds.
With this fixed, they can be used to detect the handle64.exe program
before attempting to use it. When handle64.exe was called
unconditionally without it existing, it caused perl to abort the test
run with the error
The running command stopped because the preference variable
"ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop:
sh: handle64.exe: command not found
Closes#12115
This helps enforce more modularization and encapsulation. Enable and fix
warnings on a few packages. Also, rename ftp.pm to processhelp.pm since
there's really nothing ftp-specific in it.
Ref: #10818
Not all warnings are fixed; many are as much stylistic suggestions than
anything and IMHO don't do much to actually improve the code.
Ref: #10818Closes#10861
- 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
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
- replace tabs with spaces where possible
- remove line ending spaces
- remove double/triple newlines at EOF
- fix a non-UTF-8 character
- cleanup a few indentations/line continuations
in manual examples
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3037
We're mostly saying just "curl" in lower case these days so here's a big
cleanup to adapt to this reality. A few instances are left as the
project could still formally be considered called cURL.
