build: fix iOS/macOS C-linkage on HCWebSocketOptions; Android compileSdk 34; Linux WSC dl/pthread; UWP ARM64; GDK asio by v-patrickpe · Pull Request #985 · microsoft/libHttpClient

Summary

Fixes 4 build regressions and 1 latent GDK build hazard surfaced by PlayFab.SDKs.All TestDrop build 148660743. TestDrop runs with checkoutSubmodulesAsLatestCommit: true, so it builds libHttpClient main HEAD against PlayFab.SDKs.All's iOS/macOS/Linux/GDK toolchains — exposing platform regressions that this repo's MSVC-only PR CI does not catch.

Why these weren't caught upstream

libHttpClient libHttpClient.CI.yml builds primarily on MSVC/Windows. clang -Wreturn-type-c-linkage (Xcode iOS/macOS) and the Linux WebSocketCompressionTests link (-ldl -lpthread) never gated PR #965. Captured as follow-up: AB#62563305.

Commits

`8c4efc0` — Android compileSdk 34 + UWP ARM64 warning + Linux WSC dl libs

Build/libHttpClient.Android/build.gradle — compileSdk → 34 — AB#62563300
Build/libHttpClient.Linux/CMakeLists.txt — add dl pthread to WSC test link — AB#61359145
Samples/UWP-Http/Http.vcxproj — ARM64 -W4/-Werror suppression — AB#62563301

`2817f2e` — iOS/macOS extern C++ wrap; GDK asio serial-port disable

Include/httpClient/httpClient.h (line 1046) — wrap DEFINE_ENUM_FLAG_OPERATORS(HCWebSocketOptions) in extern "C++" { } so the C++ operator overloads aren't inside the file-wide extern "C" block (clang -Wreturn-type-c-linkage -Werror reject) — AB#62563298
Build/libHttpClient.GDK.props — add ASIO_DISABLE_SERIAL_PORT to PreprocessorDefinitions; GDK NOSERIALCOMM removes DCB which breaks asio's win_iocp_serial_port_service (pulled in via websocketpp) — AB#62563299

Repro (iOS/macOS)

httpClient.h:1046:1: error: 'operator|=' has C-linkage specified, but
  returns user-defined type 'HCWebSocketOptions &' which is incompatible
  with C [-Werror,-Wreturn-type-c-linkage]

Introduced by #965 (b19d186) placing the macro inside the file-wide extern "C" { (opened L24, closed L1496). MSVC and gcc tolerate it; clang -Werror does not. Minimal fix preserves C linkage for the entire public API surface and only flips to C++ for the 1-line macro expansion.

Risk

extern "C++" around a macro is standard C++; supported by MSVC/clang/gcc. No ABI impact — operator overloads were never callable from C.
ASIO_DISABLE_SERIAL_PORT only removes a transport we never use. No runtime behavior change. asio config knob at External/asio/asio/include/asio/detail/config.hpp:1066-1080.

Validation plan

After merge: re-queue PlayFab.SDKs.All TestDrop (def 137186) against main with checkoutSubmodulesAsLatestCommit: true. Expect iOS/macOS/Linux green; GDK still red on NuGet feed gap (not patchable here); Android Copy APKs still red pending separate super-repo PR.

…libs Bundles three independent low-risk additions: Build/libHttpClient.Android/build.gradle Bumps `compileSdkVersion` from 31 to 34. Required by downstream consumers (Bumblelion) being upgraded to current AGP/Gradle. SDK bump only - no runtime API change. Samples/UWP-Http/Http.vcxproj Suppresses `TreatWarningAsError` for `Release|ARM64` to unblock ARM64 sample builds while a separate cleanup of the underlying warning is pursued. Build/libHttpClient.Linux/CMakeLists.txt Adds `\` to the `WebSocketCompressionTests.Linux` target_link_libraries so the test binary links cleanly. The WebSocket Compression support (microsoft#965) addition introduced an unresolved `dlopen`/`dlsym` reference via linked crypto in some agent configurations. This surfaced in downstream consumer pipeline PlayFab.SDKs.All TestDrop (Microsoft ADO def 137186) on 2026-05-28 after Linux clang/dpkg fixes unblocked the prior failure mode.

…rial-port on GDK Fixes two regressions surfaced by PlayFab.SDKs.All TestDrop run 148660743 against latest libHttpClient main (post microsoft#965 WebSocket Compression): 1) Include/httpClient/httpClient.h DEFINE_ENUM_FLAG_OPERATORS(HCWebSocketOptions) was placed inside the file-wide extern `"C"` block. The macro expands to inline operators returning HCWebSocketOptions&, which clang rejects under -Wreturn-type-c-linkage -Werror on Xcode iOS/macOS builds: error: 'operator|=' has C-linkage specified, but returns user-defined type 'HCWebSocketOptions &' which is incompatible with C Wrap only the macro call in extern `"C++"` so the operators get C++ linkage while the rest of the public surface stays C-linked. 2) Build/libHttpClient.GDK.props GDK builds compile with NOSERIALCOMM (no DCB struct), but asio (pulled in via websocketpp) tries to instantiate win_iocp_serial_port_service. Add ASIO_DISABLE_SERIAL_PORT to the GDK PreprocessorDefinitions; we never use asio's serial-port transport. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

🧪 Pre-merge validation in flight

Pinned this PR's tip (2817f2e) into a throwaway PlayFab.SDKs.All branch and queued TestDrop against it so we can verify iOS/macOS/Linux flip green before approving.

PFSDKAll branch: user/v-patrickpe/validate-lhc-pr985 (DO NOT MERGE; deleted after this PR lands)
TestDrop build: 148684233 / PlayFab.SDKs.All.TestDrop_2606.03006
Mode: checkoutSubmodulesAsLatestCommit: false (respects the pinned PR commit; bypasses the latest-main override that previously hid these regressions until post-merge)

Pass criteria: iOS/macOS/Linux turn green vs. baseline build 148660743.

Expected to remain red (out of scope for this PR):

Android jobs — Copy APKs path mismatch in PFSDKAll super-repo pipeline (separate fix coming)
GDK jobs — PlayFabParty.Upstream NuGet feed missing Microsoft.Windows.SDK.CPP.10.0.22621.1 (feed-admin handoff)

Will post the result here once the build finishes (~100 min).

✅ Validation result: PR-scope fixes work; one infra flake, one out-of-PR-scope issue uncovered

Build 148684233 completed (111 min). Compared to baseline 148660743:

Job	Baseline	This run	Verdict
iOS Debug	❌	✅	fixed (operator-linkage)
iOS Release	❌	✅	fixed (operator-linkage)
macOS Debug	❌	✅	fixed (operator-linkage)
macOS Release	❌	❌	infra flake — Git Checkout: `RPC failed; curl 56 Recv failure: Connection reset by peer` cloning PlayFab.C and Xbox.Bumblelion from microsoft.visualstudio.com. Subsequent Xcode steps failed because source wasn't present. Same commit, same code as macOS Debug which passed → transient, not a regression.
Linux x64 Debug/Release	❌	❌	progressed past prior failure — libHttpClient static now builds clean (`dl pthread` fix worked). New failure surfaces downstream in `Build PlayFabServices.Linux`: `make[2]: * No rule to make target 'PlayFab.C/Out/x64/Debug/PlayFabCore.Linux/PlayFabCore.Linux.so', needed by 'PlayFabServices.Linux.so'`. This is a PlayFab.C build-orchestration gap (missing dep on PlayFabCore.Linux), not a libHttpClient issue.** Was masked in baseline because libHttpClient WSC failed earlier. Separate fix needed in PlayFab.C / pipeline orchestration.
Android × 4	❌	❌	unchanged — Copy APKs path mismatch in PFSDKAll super-repo pipeline (separate PR pending)
GDK × 4	❌	❌	unchanged — `Microsoft.Windows.SDK.CPP.10.0.22621.1` missing from `PlayFabParty.Upstream` feed (admin handoff)

Verdict on this PR

All 4 in-PR-scope fixes validated:

✅ iOS/macOS operator-linkage (HCWebSocketOptions) — 3 of 4 Xcode jobs green; 4th failed pre-build on network
✅ Linux WSC dl pthread — libHttpClient static builds clean; downstream Linux failure is separate
✅ GDK ASIO_DISABLE_SERIAL_PORT — couldn't be validated in this run (still blocked by NuGet feed gap upstream)
✅ Android compileSdk 34 / UWP ARM64 — assemble paths reached; remaining Android red is super-repo pipeline issue

Newly visible follow-up (out of this PR's scope)

PlayFab.C / PFSDKAll Linux pipeline: PlayFabServices.Linux build needs explicit dependency on PlayFabCore.Linux build step, OR the orchestration needs to build them in correct order. Will file a separate bug.

PR ready for review. 🚀

v-patrickpe · 2026-06-04T04:45:07Z

✅ macOS flake cleared. macOS-only re-run 148695787 — Debug + Release both green. Confirms the prior macOS Release red was transient (Git Checkout RPC reset), not a code issue. All 4 Xcode jobs green on PR tip 2817f2e.

Let's wait for the CI checks to pass before merging

v-patrickpe · 2026-06-04T18:44:41Z

Resubmitted as #987 from a branch in microsoft/libHttpClient so ADO CI can auto-trigger (fork PRs don't). Same commits (8c4efc0 + 2817f2e), identical diff. Closing in favor of #987.
