This is important, because the system checks will yield different
results depending on whether POSIX threads are enabled or not.
We also use PTHREADS_CFLAGS only in ZTS mode now. Using these flags
in non-ZTS mode causes complete build failures on some platforms
(i.e. FreeBSD 2.2.x). This will cause harmless warnings on some
platforms (i.e. Solaris 2).
The following new/revived shared modules are available now:
... MySQL (*)
... PCRE (*)
... Session
... SWF
(*) capable of using bundled library or external library
All changes:
The m4 macro PHP_EXTENSION was revamped. Uses LIB_BUILD now.
This effectively means that all extensions have to use dynlib.
ext/mysql/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.
ext/pcre/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.
ext/ext_skel was changed to reflect that more modules should be
compileable as shared module.
ext/Makefile.in has been simplified enormously.
Dependencies are now stored in the build tree.
Empty dependencies are not generated by buildconf anymore. They
are now dynamically created during the build process.
Implicit rules for .S were removed.
The NO_RECURSION feature was removed.
"libs.mk" has been added to all cvsignore files in ext.
- Unlike the other macros its argument has to have braces around it, for
- example, open(filename, flags) becomse V_OPEN((filename, flags))
- Made small conversion to new Zend macros. The ugly (*foo)->value.str.val
- now becomes Z_STRVAL_PP(foo). PP means pointer pointer, there also exist
- single P's for example foo->value.str.val becomes Z_STRVAL_P(foo).
* Makefile header is now completely dynamic
* Absolute paths in (top_)?(src|build)dir and VPATH
(fixes Tru64 support)
* VPATH does not contain variables anymore
(fixes UnixWare support)

Martin Pool updated the natural comparison/sort algorithm so that fractions
compare more "naturally", e.g. 1.002 < 1.1.
zend_get_parameters(), but it became invalid when someone switched it
to zend_get_parameters_ex(), and I decided to remove it anyway).
- Remove a redundant function call
@- Added natural comparison/sorting routines strnatcmp(), strnatcasecmp(),
@ natsort(), and natcasesort(). These are useful for comparing and sorting
@ strings that contain numbers. Based on the code from Martin Pool
@ <mbp@humbug.org.au>. See http://www.linuxcare.com.au/projects/natsort/
@ for more info on natural sorting. (Andrei)
