8.4.0 fails to build with CURL_DISABLE_VERBOSE_STRINGS=ON

[SChernykh]

I did this

The cmake command line I used to generate Visual Studio solution file:

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DCURL_TARGET_WINDOWS_VERSION=0x0600 -DBUILD_CURL_EXE=OFF -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCURL_ZLIB=OFF -DCURL_DISABLE_ALTSVC=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_COOKIES=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_DOH=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_GETOPTIONS=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_HSTS=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_LIBCURL_OPTION=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_MIME=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_NETRC=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_NTLM=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_PARSEDATE=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_PROGRESS_METER=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_SHUFFLE_DNS=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_SOCKETPAIR=ON -DCURL_DISABLE_VERBOSE_STRINGS=ON -DHTTP_ONLY=ON -DCURL_ENABLE_SSL=OFF -DUSE_LIBIDN2=OFF -DCURL_USE_LIBPSL=OFF -DCURL_USE_LIBSSH2=OFF -DENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS=OFF

It generated a solution file without issues, but then it failed to compile with this error:

curl_trc.c(247,1): error C2059: syntax error: 'do'`

Removing Curl_trc_cf_infof definition in curl_trc.c fixed the build for me.

I expected the following

curl should build without errors when CURL_DISABLE_VERBOSE_STRINGS=ON

curl/libcurl version

curl 8.4.0

operating system

Windows

Did you try to add to "-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS" -> -std=gnu99 ?

Did you try to add to "-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS" -> -std=gnu99 ?

I still get the same error with this flag.

@vszakats is this a duplicate of #11880

[SChernykh]

This is exactly the same as #11891 but I got it with Visual Studio on Windows.

[vszakats]

@jay I think so.

[jay]

@vszakats would you mind creating a PR with your fix so we can see if it works? #11880 seems to have gone stale. maybe @SChernykh can test?

[vszakats]

@jay: I will do that in the coming days/week, unless someone beats me to it.

[vszakats]

PR #12105 is ready for testing. We're appreciating feedback.
