I grabbed the sources from github using Git Bash on May 24, 2024, but when I
tried to compile a test program with selected libcurl files, curlx_dyn_addn
was undefined.

I recommend you use one of the provided ways to build libcurl.

You probably did not define BUILDING_LIBCURL when building libcurl which you
can see in lib/dynbuf.h will change some things around. The only user of that
header that is not building libcurl is the curl tool that reuses it.

It's called Curl_dyn_addn() in the source (in lib/dynbuf.c), but it's renamed to curlx_dyn_addn with a macro in lib/dynbuf.h. It's a bit backwards, but there are reasons.

Daniel, I don't want to build libcurl, at least not at the moment. I want to use the functions in libcurl by incorporating their source files into my little test program, sort of like the curl tool does. That way I can put in breakpoints, single-step and look at variables to see how it all works.
Dan Fandrich,
Thanks. That's what I needed to know. I understand that there are reasons, but to say that it's a bit convoluted is an understatement.
