curl: pass long
values where expected
#1931
Conversation
The curl documentation specifies that curl_easy_setopt() takes either: ...a long, a function pointer, an object pointer or a curl_off_t, depending on what the specific option expects. But when we pass an integer constant like "0", it will by default be a regular non-long int. This has always been wrong, but seemed to work in practice (I didn't dig into curl's implementation to see whether this might actually be triggering undefined behavior, but it seems likely and regardless we should do what the docs say). This is especially important since curl has a type-checking macro that causes building against curl 8.14 to produce many warnings. The specific commit is due to their 79b4e56b3 (typecheck-gcc.h: fix the typechecks, 2025-04-22). Curiously, it does only seem to trigger when compiled with -O2 for me. We can fix it by just marking the constants with a long "L". Signed-off-by: Jeff King <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>
As discussed in the previous commit, we should be passing long integers, not regular ones, to curl_easy_setopt(), and compiling against curl 8.14 loudly complains if we don't. That patch fixed integer constants by adding an "L". This one deals with actual variables. Arguably these variables could just be declared as "long" in the first place. But it's actually kind of awkward due to other code which uses them: - port is conceptually a short, and we even call htons() on it (though weirdly it is defined as a regular int). - ssl_verify is conceptually a bool, and we assign to it from git_config_bool(). So I think we could probably switch these out for longs without hurting anything, but it just feels a bit weird. Doubly so because if you don't set USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND set, then the current types are fine! So let's just cast these to longs in the curl calls, which makes what's going on obvious. There aren't that many spots to modify (and as you can see from the context, we already have some similar casts).

As with the previous two commits, we should be passing long integers, not regular ones, to curl_easy_setopt(), and compiling against curl 8.14 loudly complains if we don't. This patch catches the remaining cases, which are ones where we pass curl's own symbolic constants. We'll cast them to long manually in each call. It seems kind of weird to me that curl doesn't define these constants as longs, since the point of them is to pass to curl_easy_setopt(). But in the curl documentation and examples, they clearly show casting them as part of the setopt calls. It may be that there is some reason not to push the type into the macro, like backwards compatibility. I didn't dig, as it doesn't really matter: we have to follow what existing curl versions ask for anyway. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>

Thank you for the heads-up! When I had to start fixing those builds, I had
a quick look but did not find any report on the Git mailing list. But I
see gaps, and I will comment on Jeff's patch.
Thanks!

What different build options? The extra fixes are in code that is
compiled on all platforms. E.g.:

So I think the root cause of the difference remains a mystery.
Curiously, if I build libcurl from source and link against it on my
Debian system, I get all of the errors (including the ones you're fixing
here). But with the exact same compile options (modulo pointing
CURL_CONFIG at the right spot), building against the Debian-packaged
libcurl is OK. Weird.

I don't think that's sufficient for a full audit, because the first
"grep -v" regex is removing variable names and symbolic constants, which
might also need to be cast to long (i.e., my patches 2 and 3).
But as your patch fixes the exact set that I also needed when building
against my custom-built libcurl, I'm content to say we have spent enough
time digging. If there is some platform or makefile knob combination
that triggers one we missed, then curl's type-checker will catch it and
we can fix it then.

Yeah, thanks, both.

Maybe I don’t understand range-diffs enough but it looked like this was
using `0l` instead of `0L`.[1] However the patches do use `<num>L` instead
of `<num>l` throughout. Which I like

All of the above were good descriptions in a standalone patch.
However.
The first two lines that mention that osx-gcc job was broken are
valuable introduction to flow into "Nearly identical ... Debian",
but except that, but as part of a series it is probably a tad too
verbose.

It is a but curious what build option differences caused it, as I do
not think any "#ifdef DARWIN" is involved.
By the way, I notice that we refer to 6f11c42e (curl: fix integer
constant typechecks with curl_easy_setopt(), 2025-06-04), so I won't
be requeueing Peff's patches. I locally applied these four patches
and the result of applying the first three on the same base was
identical to what I already had in jk/curl-easy-setopt-typefix topic
(you didn't have to resend them---which was unnecessary confusing).

Thanks for being careful. But I think it is probably counter
productive to exclud the first pattern (presumably to catch CURL*
and other symbols), as the symbols defined by the library headers
still require to be cast to long; see:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[email protected]/
Anyway, the change this patch makes matches what you sent as a
"these still remain" yesterday, so I understand that your inspecting
the 23 results manually did not find any "ah, this too needs updated
but was missing from the one we saw yesterday", which is a wonderful
news.
With this patch replaced (but not 3 from Peff), I'll redo the 'next'
(thank me, whatever your deity is, and your good luck that I haven't
pushed it out, even though I did it with yesterday's material late
last night) and push the result out, but it won't be a while (even
though we already know the tree objects should be the same), as I
want to see if there are other urgent changes that have to go to
'next' before doing so.
Thanks.

You can read "--" as "we no longer remove this" and "-+" as "we no
longer add this". In fact, this whole section begins with "-" (in the
outer diff) and we can read this as "we no longer touch this at all."
Where, crucially, it's "we no longer touch this *in this patch*". Patch
1/4 in this v2 does change this from "0" to "0L" and this updated patch
4/4 then leaves this spot as is. Unlike in v1, when this was a much bigger
patch that touched this spot and many others.
