Enhanced the `configure.ac` script to provide clearer and more readable output for PCRE and PCRE2 settings during configuration. This change improves usability by ensuring that the configuration process displays relevant details in a structured and user-friendly format.
This update aligns with the broader PCRE to PCRE2 migration effort, making the build configuration process more transparent and consistent.
Introduced PCRE2_CFLAGS, PCRE2_LDADD, and PCRE2_LDFLAGS in all relevant Makefile.am files to align with the existing PCRE_* variable usage. This change addresses potential issues with linking and configuration for builds on macOS GitHub runners.
These modifications aim to resolve the build failure observed exclusively in the macOS environment while maintaining compatibility across other platforms. Testing will confirm if this adjustment corrects the issue.
Added AC_MSG_NOTICE macros to pcre2.m4 to enhance debugging output. This change aims to identify the cause of build failures on macOS runners in GitHub Actions, which do not occur locally or on other platforms (Linux, Windows).
The added verbosity will help trace the build process and inspect variable values for inconsistencies in the macOS runner environment.
Identified an issue where the macOS GitHub runner no longer includes the libpcre2 library by default. Updated the workflow configuration to explicitly add libpcre2 as a dependency, ensuring successful builds and compatibility with the updated build system.
This change prevents build failures on macOS environments and aligns the runner's setup with project requirements.
Updated the build system and related source files to use libpcre2 as the
default regex library instead of the deprecated libpcre. This change
ensures future compatibility and aligns with the library's maintenance status.
To build with the old libpcre, the `--with-pcre` configuration parameter
can be specified.
- Added a cppcheck-suppress directive to handle a false positive detected
by cppcheck 2.16.
- This change addresses an issue caused by the recent Homebrew update
on macOS CI runner, which upgraded cppcheck from version 2.15 to 2.16.
- This is correct because base class is initialized before members are
initialized.
- Removes cppcheck suppression by addressing reported issue.
- Leverage C++11's 'default member initializer' to initialize m_provider
& m_demandsPassword and address Sonarcloud issue.
- The following two warnings were generated after introducing the change
to instantiate the DigestImpl template with the address of mbedtls_md5
or mbedtls_sha1:

- src/modsecurity.cc
- Replace the redundant type with "auto".
- src/transaction.cc
- Avoid this unnecessary copy by using a "const" reference.
- test/common/custom_debug_log.cc
- Use "=default" instead of the default implementation of this special
member functions.
- Removed the unnecessary destructor override instead.
- Annotate this function with "override" or "final".
- Removed the unnecessary destructor override instead.
- Remove this "const" qualifier from the return type in all
declarations.
- test/common/modsecurity_test_context.h
- Replace the redundant type with "auto".
- test/regression/regression.cc
- Use the "nullptr" literal.
- Replace this declaration by a structured binding declaration.
- Replace "reinterpret_cast" with a safer operation.
- Avoids copying std::shared_ptr when lifetime of the RuleMessage
is controlled by the caller.
- The RuleMessage instance is created in RuleWithActions::evaluate and
then used to call the overloaded version of this method that is
specialized by subclasses.
- Once the call to the overloaded method returns, the std::shared_ptr
is destroyed as it's not stored by any of the callers, so it can
be replaced with a stack variable and avoid paying the cost of
copying the std::shared_ptr (and its control block that is
guaranteed to be thread-safe and thus is not a straightforward
pointer copy)
- Introduced RuleMessage::reset because this is required by
RuleWithActions::performLogging when it's not the 'last log', the rule
has multimatch and it's to be logged.
- The current version is creating allocating another instance of
RuleMessage on the heap to copy the Rule & Transaction related state
while all the other members in the RuleMessage are set to their
default values.
- The new version leverages the existent, unused and incomplete
function 'clean' (renamed as 'reset') to do this on the current
instance.
- Notice that the current code preserves the value of m_saveMessage,
so 'reset' provides an argument for the caller to control whether
this member should be reinitialized.
