Let me just inject myself here and comment on two curl things.
- when is _FILE going away (or has it already in some versions)?
It will be kept around *at least* for as long as libcurl supports the version
7 API: for the forseeable future. Posssibly decades.
- when did _WRITEDATA appear?
All curl symbols ever introduced are documented clearly in which version they
appeared. See:
https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/symbols-in-versions.html
To map the version numbers to release dates, this second table comes handy:
https://curl.haxx.se/docs/releases.html
CURLOPT_WRITEDATA was added in curl 7.9.7, shipped on May 10 2002.
In the curl project we often see users use *very* old versions but 18 years is
longer than even the most conservative users I've seen...
