The config header was causing many source files to unecessarily
include the dirent headers causing extra dependancies. This has been
fixed by providing a utility dirent header that provides a common API
across all platforms while removing the unecessary dirent header usage.
The utils header is a large collection of functionality for several
system headers and API. This splits out the ones from sys/time.h into
a separate header reducing the need for many unconnected source files
to include the system header unecessarily.
The utility configuration header dragged in a number of bsd sockets
and related API as a side effect of setting up the configuration. By
splitting the header and API setup into a separate header only the
small number of places that need the functionality explitly include
it.
currently NetSurf uses curl_getdate to convert textural date and time
strings into seconds since epoch. It is betetr to move this
functionality to a utility function so curl_getdate can easily be
replaced if required.
The printf formatting for size_t is set in c99 as %zu but in windows
it is %Iu this is solved by adding and inttypes style PRI macro for size_t
This also uses this macro everywhere size_t is formatted.
This may help with whatever issue is causing a problem with RISC OS
!Boot and !System distributions.
From the base of the netsurf repo, you can run it like this:
$ ./utils/git-date.sh riscos/distribution/
This is an attempt to amelioriate the situation found in #2384 where
we see the cURL connect() failing to complete. Based on the pcap
from the bug log, we believe that RISC OS is likely failing to signal
the completion of the connection to cURL. As such, cURL times out.
This change permits retries of timed out connections in the hope that
a fresh socket FD might subsequently function correctly. The defaults
chosen mean that the previous behaviour of 30 seconds before timeout
is reported will remain the same, but in that time we will make 3 separate
attempts to connect the socket.
Mainly C/C++ conflicts:
* Designated initializer are not part of C++
* C++ already defines min() and max()
* Force C99 and remove -O0 since we now use a decent compiler
