The PCRE2 library is now used by default if found, instead of the
original PCRE library. If needed for some reason, this can be disabled
with the --without-pcre2 configure option.
To make it possible to specify paths to the library and include files
via --with-cc-opt / --with-ld-opt, the library is first tested without
any additional paths and options. If this fails, the pcre2-config script
is used.
Similarly to the original PCRE library, it is now possible to build PCRE2
from sources with nginx configure, by using the --with-pcre= option.
It automatically detects if PCRE or PCRE2 sources are provided.
Note that compiling PCRE2 10.33 and later requires inttypes.h. When
compiling on Windows with MSVC, inttypes.h is only available starting
with MSVC 2013. In older versions some replacement needs to be provided
("echo '#include <stdint.h>' > pcre2-10.xx/src/inttypes.h" is good enough
for MSVC 2010).
The interface on nginx side remains unchanged.
This was previously used, but was incorrectly removed in 83d54192e97b
while removing old threads remnants. Instead of using it conditionally
when threads are not used, we now set in unconditionally, as even with
thread pools enabled we never call OpenSSL functions in threads.
This fixes resulting binary when using --with-openssl with OpenSSL 1.1.0+
and without -lpthread linked (notably on FreeBSD without PCRE).
OpenSSL now uses pthread_atfork(), and this requires -lpthread on Linux
to compile. Introduced NGX_LIBPTHREAD to add it as appropriate, similar
to existing NGX_LIBDL.
The http_rewrite module cannot be selected when http is disabled.
Fixed the PCRE check condition to avoid irrelevant check failure.
This is a regression from 4d874b4d82ed.

OpenSSL 1.1.0 now uses normal "nmake; nmake install" instead of using
custom "ms\do_ms.bat" script and "ms\nt.mak" makefile. And Configure
now requires --prefix to be absolute, and no longer derives --openssldir
from prefix (so it's specified explicitly). Generated libraries are now
called "libcrypto.lib" and "libssl.lib" instead of "libeay32.lib"
and "ssleay32.lib". Appropriate tests added to support both old and new
variants.
Additionally, openssl/lhash.h now triggers warning C4090 ('function' :
different 'const' qualifiers), so the warning was disabled.
In Perl 5.8.6 the default was switched to use putenv() when used as
embedded library unless "PL_use_safe_putenv = 0" is explicitly used
in the code. Therefore, for modern versions of Perl it is no longer
necessary to restore previous environment when calling perl_destruct().
IPv6 now compiled-in automatically if support is found. If there is a need
to disable it for some reason, --with-cc-opt="-DNGX_HAVE_INET6=0" can be used
for this.
Previously flags passed by --with-ld-opt were not used when building perl
module, which meant hardening flags provided by package build systems were not
applied.
This reduces the number of moving parts in ABI compatibility checks.
Additionally, it also allows to use OpenSSL in FIPS mode while still
using md5 for non-security tasks.
OPENSSL_config() deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0. Additionally,
SSL_library_init(), SSL_load_error_strings() and OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms()
are no longer available if OPENSSL_API_COMPAT is set to 0x10100000L.
The OPENSSL_init_ssl() function is now used instead with appropriate
arguments to trigger the same behaviour. The configure test changed to
use SSL_CTX_set_options().
Deinitialization now happens automatically in OPENSSL_cleanup() called
via atexit(3), so we no longer call EVP_cleanup() and ENGINE_cleanup()
directly.
The install_sw target first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7e and is documented since
OpenSSL 1.0.0 as the way to install the OpenSSL software without documentation.
Before 7142b04337d6, it was possible to build the OpenSSL library
along with nginx, and link nginx statically with this library
(--with-openssl=DIR --with-ld-opt=-static --with-http_ssl_module).
This was broken on Linux by not adding -ldl after -lcrypto.
The fix also makes it possible to link nginx statically on Linux
with the system OpenSSL library, which never worked before.
Now we always set NGX_CC_NAME to "msvc", and additionally test compiler
version as reported by "cl" in auto/cc/msvc (the same version is also
available via the _MSC_VER define). In particular, this approach allows
to properly check for C99 variadic macros support, which previously was
not used with MSVC versions not explicitly recognized.
Now unneeded wildcards in NGX_CC_NAME tests for msvc removed accordingly,
as well as unused wildcards for owc and icc.
The auto/module script is extended to understand ngx_module_link=DYNAMIC.
When set, it links the module as a shared object rather than statically
into nginx binary. The module can later be loaded using the "load_module"
directive.
New auto/module parameter ngx_module_order allows to define module loading
order in complex cases. By default the order is set based on ngx_module_type.
3rd party modules can be compiled dynamically using the --add-dynamic-module
configure option, which will preset ngx_module_link to "DYNAMIC" before
calling the module config script.
Win32 support is rudimentary, and only works when using MinGW gcc (which
is able to handle exports/imports automatically).
In collaboration with Ruslan Ermilov.
Several warnings silenced, notably (ngx_socket_t) -1 is now checked
on socket operations instead of -1, as ngx_socket_t is unsigned on win32
and gcc complains on comparison.
With this patch, it's now possible to compile nginx using mingw gcc,
with options we normally compile on win32.
Several false positive warnings silenced, notably W8012 "Comparing
signed and unsigned" (due to u_short values promoted to int), and
W8072 "Suspicious pointer arithmetic" (due to large type values added
to pointers).
With this patch, it's now again possible to compile nginx using bcc32,
with options we normally compile on win32 minus ipv6 and ssl.
Precompiled headers are disabled as they lead to internal compiler errors
with long configure lines. Couple of false positive warnings silenced.
Various win32 typedefs are adjusted to work with Open Watcom C 1.9 headers.
With this patch, it's now again possible to compile nginx using owc386,
with options we normally compile on win32 minus ipv6 and ssl.
As of PCRE 8.33, config.h.generic no longer contains boolean macros. Two
of them (SUPPORT_PCRE8 and HAVE_MEMMOVE) were added to appropriate makefiles.
This allows PCRE 8.33 to compile and don't change anything for previous
versions.
The $NGX_AUTO_CONFIG_H added to perl module Makefile dependencies to
make sure it's always rebuild after a configure. It is needed as we
expand various variables used for Makefile generation during configure
(in particular, nginx version).
Dependancy tracking introduced in r5169 were not handled absolute path
names properly. Absolute names might appear in CORE_DEPS if --with-openssl
or --with-pcre configure arguments are used to build OpenSSL/PCRE
libraries.
Additionally, revert part of r5169 to set NGX_INCS from Makefile
variables. Makefile variables have $ngx_include_opt in them, which
might result in wrong include paths being used. As a side effect,
this also restores build with --with-http_perl_module and --without-http
at the same time.
To avoid further breaks it's now done properly, all the dependencies
are now passed to Makefile.PL. While here, fixed include list passed to
Makefile.PL to use Makefile variables rather than a list expanded during
configure.
Filename extension used for dynamically loaded perl modules isn't
necessarily ".so" (e.g., it's ".bundle" on Mac OS X).
This fixes "make" after "make" unnecessarily rebuilding perl module.
Added missing dependencies for perl module's Makefile.
Simplified dependencies for perl module nginx.so: it depends
on Makefile that in turn depends on other perl bits.
Note: the "-p" argument of cp(1) dropped intentionally, to force nginx.so
rebuild. It is considered too boring to properly list all dependencies
in Makefile.PL.
