From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

As of Homebrew's update to cURL v8.14.0, there are new compile errors to be observed in the `osx-gcc` job of Git's CI builds:

  In file included from http.h:8,
                   from imap-send.c:36:
  In function 'setup_curl',
      inlined from 'curl_append_msgs_to_imap' at imap-send.c:1460:9,
      inlined from 'cmd_main' at imap-send.c:1581:9:

     50 |               _curl_easy_setopt_err_long();                             \
        |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        |       ^~~~~~~~~~
  imap-send.c:1423:9: note: in expansion of macro 'curl_easy_setopt'
   1423 |         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PORT, srvc->port);
        |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [... many more instances of nearly identical warnings...]

See for example this CI workflow run: https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/15454602308/job/43504278284#step:4:307

The most likely explanation is the entry "typecheck-gcc.h: fix the typechecks" in cURL's release notes (https://curl.se/ch/8.14.0.html).

Nearly identical compile errors afflicted recently-updated Debian setups, which have been addressed by `jk/curl-easy-setopt-typefix`.

However, on macOS Git is built with different build options, which uncovered more instances of `int` values that need to be cast to constants, which were not covered by 6f11c42e8edc (curl: fix integer constant typechecks with curl_easy_setopt(), 2025-06-04). Let's explicitly convert even those remaining `int` constants in `curl_easy_setopt()` calls to `long` parameters.

In addition to looking at the compile errors of the `osx-gcc` job, I verified that there are no other instances of the same issue that need to be handled in this manner (and that might not be caught by our CI builds because of yet other build options that might skip those code parts), I ran the following command and inspected all 23 results manually to ensure that the fix is now actually complete:

  git grep -n curl_easy_setopt |
  grep -ve ',.*, *[A-Za-z_"&]' \
    -e ',.*, *[-0-9]*L)' \
    -e ',.*,.* (long)'
