PROFILE
Patrick Monnerat
Patrick Monnerat contributed to the curl/curl repository by developing and refining core features and stability improvements for OS400 support, MIME handling, and protocol integration. He implemented memory-safe buffer management using C, introduced unified struct bufref usage for referer and URL state, and enhanced API design for type safety and const-correctness. Patrick also expanded OS400 compatibility by updating ILE/RPG bindings and adding MQTT and SMB protocol support, while addressing build issues and clarifying documentation. His work demonstrated depth in system programming, concurrency, and network protocols, resulting in more robust cross-platform reliability and maintainable code across the curl/curl codebase.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025 (curl/curl): Delivered foundational memory-safety and consistency improvements by adopting a buffer reference (bufref) approach across core components. This work standardizes buffer handling, reduces lifetime and const-correctness issues, and lays groundwork for easier maintenance and future optimizations across referer handling, form data, and URL state. Key API changes include the introduction of Curl_bufref_uptr() for unsigned char pointers and updates to related usage and documentation. Refactors turned state.referer, state.url, and formdata fields into struct bufref representations, with documentation updates and resolution of issue #19827. These changes improve safety, enable safer future refactors, and contribute to more reliable memory management in curl/curl.
