They serve very little purpose and mostly just add noise. Most of them
have been around for a very long time. I read them all before removing
or rephrasing them.

So that we only do the extra typedefs in curl_memory.h when we really
need to and avoid double typedefs.

They tend to never get updated anyway so they're frequently inaccurate
and we never go back to revisit them anyway. We document issues to work
on properly in KNOWN_BUGS and TODO instead.
This header file must be included after all header files except
memdebug.h, as it does similar memory function redefinitions and can be
similarly affected by conflicting definitions in system or dependent
library headers.
This reverts commit 7ed25cc, reinstating commit 8ec2cb5.
As of 18-jul-2013 we still do have code in libcurl that makes use of these
memory functions. Commit 8ec2cb5 comment still applies and is yet valid.
These memory functions are solely used in Windows builds, so all related
code is protected with '#ifdef WIN32' preprocessor conditional compilation
directives.
Specifically, wcsdup() _wcsdup() are used when building a Windows target with
UNICODE and USE_WINDOWS_SSPI preprocessor symbols defined. This is the case
when building a Windows UNICODE target with Windows native SSL/TLS support
enabled.
Realizing that wcsdup() _wcsdup() are used is a bit tricky given that usage
of these is hidden behind _tcsdup() which is MS way of dealing with code
that must tolerate UNICODE and non-UNICODE compilation. Additionally, MS
header files and those compatible from other compilers use this preprocessor
conditional compilation directive in order to select at compilation time
whether 'wide' or 'ansi' MS API functions are used.
Without this code, Windows build targets with Windows native SSL/TLS support
enabled and MemoryTracking support enabled misbehave in tracking memory usage,
regardless of being a UNICODE enabled build or not.
This reverts commit 8ec2cb5544.
We don't have any code anywhere in libcurl (or the curl tool) that use
wcsdup so there's no such memory use to track. It seems to cause mild
problems with the Borland compiler though that we may avoid by reverting
this change again.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-05/0070.html
As of 25-mar-2013 wcsdup() _wcsdup() and _tcsdup() are only used in
WIN32 specific code, so tracking of these has not been extended for
other build targets. Without this fix, memory tracking system on
WIN32 builds, when using these functions, would provide misleading
results.
In order to properly extend this support for all targets curl.h
would have to define curl_wcsdup_callback prototype and consequently
wchar_t should be visible before that in curl.h. IOW curl_wchar_t
defined in curlbuild.h and this pulling whatever system header is
required to get wchar_t definition.
Additionally a new curl_global_init_mem() function that also receives
user defined wcsdup() callback would be required.
