The `curl_easy_setopt()` function takes the parameter as a vararg to allow for multiple types. That means that 32-bit systems wouldn't see a difference (where commonly `int` and `long` are both 4 bytes wide). Windows (and other LLP64 systems, if they exist) would be fine, too. But on LP64 systems like Linux/macOS, it would make a difference. It might work "by mistake" on little-endian systems if by happenstance the remaining 4 bytes are zero. > This is especially important since curl has a type-checking macro that > causes building against curl 8.14 to produce many warnings.

I just offered an alternative in https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1931.git.1749112304079.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/, being unaware of your efforts. Mine was driven by the failing `osx-gcc` job, and curiously after (changing all the `l`s to `L`s and) rebasing to your series, I still have this: -- snip -- Subject: [PATCH] curl: pass `long` values where expected 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). Let's explicitly convert all `int` parameters in `curl_easy_setopt()` calls to `long` parameters.
