naett has had a complete libcurl backend all along; we just never built it,
so Linux ran with HTTPS_NOT_AVAILABLE. That means no homebrew store over
HTTPS, and RetroAchievements talking to plain http://retroachievements.org.
libcurl is loaded with dlopen rather than linked, the same way we handle the
Vulkan loader, so it stays a soft dependency: we need the curl headers at
build time, but a build made here still starts on a machine without libcurl
installed - it just reports HTTPS as unavailable, exactly like today. Distro
packagers get the behavior they'd expect either way, and certificate
validation comes free from the system CA store.
New net::HTTPSAvailable() answers "did that work", and SDLMain folds it into
SYSPROP_SUPPORTS_HTTPS, which everything downstream already degrades on.
Four fixes to the backend itself, all noted in ext/naett/README-ppsspp.md:
- panic() called exit(1) on a pipe or curl_multi_perform failure. Taking the
emulator down because a download failed isn't acceptable - the backend now
disables itself and requests complete with naettGenericError.
- CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE writes a long into res->code, which is an int. Eight
bytes into four, getting away with it only because the next field absorbs
the zeroes.
- curl_easy_setopt is varargs and wants a long for these options; int literals
and int variables are UB on LP64.
- naettPlatformCloseResponse called through a null function pointer when
libcurl was missing. Found by testing that path, which segfaulted.
CI needs libcurl4-openssl-dev (curl-dev on Alpine) or it would quietly keep
building without HTTPS.
naett has been a submodule pinned at v0.3.3; upstream has had no commits since
April 2024, and we want to carry local changes (next up: a libcurl-backed HTTPS
path for Linux). It's ~1500 lines of MIT C, smaller than several things we
already vendor, so bring it in-tree and drop the submodule.
Also drop the generated single-file amalgam (naett.c) that every build system
was compiling, and build src/*.c directly instead - otherwise the file you edit
isn't the file that gets compiled, which is a trap for anyone patching this.
example/ and testrig/ (a whole Android Studio project) are gone with it.
Two changes were needed to make the sources build on their own, both noted in
ext/naett/README-ppsspp.md along with the upstream commit:
- naett_internal.h now includes naett.h, which the amalgam pulled in first.
- naett_linux.c now includes stdio.h/stdlib.h. It calls exit/calloc/realloc/
free/fprintf without ever including either, and only got away with it because
naett_core.c sat above it in the concatenation.
No functional change - Linux still has HTTPS_NOT_AVAILABLE set, so it doesn't
build naett at all yet.
Rename naett to naett-lib
