Removed the DataExecutionPrevention directive from the project files for
Visual Studio 2008 and above. The XML value in the VC9 project files was
set to "0" (Default) whilst the VC10+ project files contained an empty
XML element.
Visual Studio 2008 introduced support for the address space layout
randomization (ASLR) feature of Windows Vista. However, upgrading the
VC8 project files to VC9 and above disabled this feature.
Removed the RandomizedBaseAddress directive to enabled the default
setting (/DYNAMICBASE). Note: This doesn't appear to have any negative
impact when compiled and ran on Windows XP.
Visual Studio 2005 and above defaults to disabling the startup banner
for the Compiler, Linker and MIDL tools (with /NOLOGO). As such there
is no need to explicitly set the SuppressStartupBanner directive, as
this is a leftover from the VC7 and VC7.1 projects being upgraded to
VC8 and above.
In preparation for adding the test suite and examples projects renamed
the top level "all" solution files to better describe what they are.
This will also enable us to use "curl" rather than "curlsrc" for the
command line tool solution and project files, which will simplify some
of the configuration.
Defined the DEBUGBUILD pre-processor variable to allow extra logging,
which is particularly useful in debug builds, as we use this and Visual
Studio typically uses _DEBUG.
We could define DEBUBBUILD, in curl_setup.h, when _MSC_VER and _DEBUG is
defined but that would also affect the makefile based builds which we
probably don't want to do.
Removed the WIN64 pre-processor definition from the libcurl project
files as:
* WIN64 is not used in our source code
* The curl projects files don't define it
* It isn't required by or used in the platform SDK
* For backwards compatability curl_setup.h defines WIN32
* The compiler automatically defines _WIN64 for x64 builds
Historically Visual Studio projects have defined WIN32, in addition to
the compiler defined _WIN32 definition, and I had incorrectly changed
that to WIN64 for the x64 libcurl builds but not in the curl projects.
As such, it is questionable whether this should be defined or not. For
more information see the following cache of a discussion that took
place on the microsoft.public.vc.mfc newsgroup:
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/VC/microsoft.public.vc.mfc/2008-06/msg00074.html
As the curl command-line tool now includes it's own version of strdup(),
for platforms that don't have it, fixed up the git respository Visual
Studio project file generator to not include the version from lib in the
tool project files, rather than having both lib\strdup.[c|h] and
src\tool_strdup.[c|h] present.
A left over from the VC6 project files, so mainly cosmetic in Visual
Studio .NET as it can handle both comma and semi-colon characters for
separating multiple pre-processor definitions.
However, the IDE uses semi-colons if the value is edited, and as such,
this may cause problems in future for anyone updating the files or
merging patches.
Used the Visual Studio IDE to correct the separator character.
..when working from the git repository. This is particularly useful
for single development environments where the project files for all
supported versions of Visual Studio may not be required.
I use the curl repo mainly on Windows with the typical Windows git
checkout which converts the LF line endings in the curl repo to CRLF
automatically on checkout. The automatic conversion is not done on files
in the repo with mixed line endings. I recently noticed some weird
output with projects/build-openssl.bat that I traced back to mixed line
endings, so I scanned the repo and there are files (excluding the
test data) that have mixed line endings.
I used this command below to do the scan. Unfortunately it's not as easy
as git grep, at least not on Windows. This gets the names of all the
files in the repo's HEAD, gets each of those files raw from HEAD, checks
for mixed line endings of both LF and CRLF, and prints the name if
mixed. I excluded path tests/data/test* because those can have mixed
line endings if I understand correctly.
for f in `git ls-tree --name-only --full-tree -r HEAD`;
do if [ -n "${f##tests/data/test*}" ];
then git show "HEAD:$f" | \
perl -0777 -ne 'exit 1 if /([^\r]\n.*\r\n)|(\r\n.*[^\r]\n)/';
if [ $? -ne 0 ];
then echo "$f";
fi;
fi;
done
The curl tool project files for VC8 to VC12 would set this setting to
$(IntDir) which is the Visual Studio default value. To avoid confusion
when viewing settings from within Visual Studio and for consistency
with the libcurl project files removed this setting.

The curl tool project files for VC7 to VC12 would set these settings to
$(IntDir) which is the Visual Studio default value. To avoid confusion
when viewing settings from within Visual Studio and for consistency
with the libcurl project files removed these two settings.
The curl tool project files for VC7 to VC12 would override the default
setting with the output filename being the same as the linker PDB file.
As such the compiler file would be overwritten with the linker file
for all debug builds.
To avoid this overwrite and for consistency with the libcurl project
files, removed the setting to force the default filename to be used.
As with commit 11397eb6dd, use $(TargetDir) and $(TargetName) for the
Import Library output rather than $(OutDir)\$(ProjectName)d.lib and
$(OutDir)\$(ProjectName).lib.
Added a default source directory so the user doesn't have to specify
one - the same as that, which the Visual Studio project files expect
the OpenSSL dependencies to be in.
Unlike previous versions of Visual Studio the VC12 solution file format
does not increment the format version number, but instead, only changes
the version comment text.
This incorrectly set version number would cause problems for any third
party piece of software that would read the solution file expecting the
version number to be 12.00 and found it to be 13.00, such as some build
accelerators.
Verified against a freshly created solution file which was generated
with VC12.
Angled brackets were used in the help output to indicate that the
compiler and platform arguments are mandatory. Unfortunately this
caused a "< was unexpected at this time" error as the characters are
interpreted as re-direction characters when not escaped.
