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".

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.

As of Homebrew's update to cURL v8.14.0, there are new compile errors to be observed in the `osx-gcc` job of Git's CI builds: In file included from http.h:8, from imap-send.c:36: In function 'setup_curl', inlined from 'curl_append_msgs_to_imap' at imap-send.c:1460:9, inlined from 'cmd_main' at imap-send.c:1581:9: /usr/local/Cellar/curl/8.14.0/include/curl/typecheck-gcc.h:50:15: error: call to '_curl_easy_setopt_err_long' declared with attribute warning: curl_easy_setopt expects a long argument [-Werror=attribute-warning] 50 | _curl_easy_setopt_err_long(); \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/local/Cellar/curl/8.14.0/include/curl/curl.h:54:7: note: in definition of macro 'CURL_IGNORE_DEPRECATION' 54 | statements \ | ^~~~~~~~~~ imap-send.c:1423:9: note: in expansion of macro 'curl_easy_setopt' 1423 | curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PORT, srvc->port); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [... many more instances of nearly identical warnings...] See for example this CI workflow run: https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/15454602308/job/43504278284#step:4:307 The most likely explanation is the entry "typecheck-gcc.h: fix the typechecks" in cURL's release notes (https://curl.se/ch/8.14.0.html). Nearly identical compile errors afflicted recently-updated Debian setups, which have been addressed by `jk/curl-easy-setopt-typefix`. However, on macOS Git is built with different build options, which uncovered more instances of `int` values that need to be cast to constants, which were not covered by 6f11c42 (curl: fix integer constant typechecks with curl_easy_setopt(), 2025-06-04). Let's explicitly convert even those remaining `int` constants in `curl_easy_setopt()` calls to `long` parameters. In addition to looking at the compile errors of the `osx-gcc` job, I verified that there are no other instances of the same issue that need to be handled in this manner (and that might not be caught by our CI builds because of yet other build options that might skip those code parts), I ran the following command and inspected all 23 results manually to ensure that the fix is now actually complete: git grep -n curl_easy_setopt | grep -ve ',.*, *[A-Za-z_"&]' \ -e ',.*, *[-0-9]*L)' \ -e ',.*,.* (long)' Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Just like we just did in the backport from my upstream contribution, let's convert the `curl_easy_setopt()` calls in `gvfs-helper.c` that still passed `int` constants to pass `long` instead. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The
osx-gcc
job fails with compiler errors due to the now-stricter type checks in thecurl_easy_setopt()
calls. There is an upstream contribution already to fix this in Git's own main branch, but those patches to not apply cleanly on top ofvfs-2.49.0
