This patch refactors these macros to also checks for the required given
versions of bison and re2c.
- PHP_PROG_RE2C and PHP_PROG_BISON take optional args - minmimum version
required, and bison also excluded versions.
- Instead of caching values this uses manual checking and messaging
outputs.
- It looks like the minimum version of RE2C 0.13.4 is working ok so far.
The genfiles script improvements:
- Add make override in genfiles
- Move checkings from makedist to genfiles
- Refactored output messages
- Various minor enhancements
With Bison 3.0 some directives are deprecated:
- %name-prefix "x" should be %define api.prefix {x}
- %error-verbose should be %define parse.error verbose
Bison 3.3 also started emiting more warnings and since PHP souce parsers
are not POSIX compliant this patch fixes this as pointed out via
495a46aa1d.
The more proper place for shell scripts dedicated for development, and
releasing PHP should be the scripts/dev directory. Having a cleaner root
project directory helps find the main README.md and files relevant to
install PHP.
These scripts are also used by the release managers mostly who create
release packages and aren't used often by the majority of developers
working on and installing PHP.
The AC_PROG_CC_C_O macro checks if compiler can use both -c and -o
options together and if not it defines the NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O symbol.
It is not used in current codebase and therefore removed.
The PHP_EXTENSION macro was used before the introduction of the updated
build system in the 9d9d39a0de. The
extensions at that time possibly still used the Makefile.in and Automake
and the PHP_EXTENSION macro has been replaced with the PHP_NEW_EXTENSION
macro.
Today, the once deprecated macro can be removed in favor of only
PHP_NEW_EXTENSION macro.
At the time of this commit, there is a dedicated folder for development
related tools and such scripts might fit better there to not bloat the
project root directory too much.
Move snapshot to scripts/dev/snapshot
This patch follows previous license year ranges updates. With new
approach source code files now have simplified headers with license
information without year ranges.
The Autoconf macro AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR can set the location of the
auxiliary build tools such as config.guess, config.sub, and bundled
libtool scripts and moves these bundled files from the root directory
to the build subdirectory.
Additionally some changes in this context or as a part of obsoletion:
- The LT_TARGETS variable in build/build2.mk file was once used as a part
of the Automake step. It's not used anymore and has been refactored to
separate makedist script directly.
- ltconfig is not used anymore since libtool 1.4+
cf8d1563c2
- phpize file locations for the config.guess, config.sub, and ltmain.sh
has been refactored accordingly.
The `mkdep.awk` file was part of the previous *nix build system and was
used to create a .deps file with a list of dependencies that could be
processed by Automake further on.
Newer build system was done via 9d9d39a0de
and outdated files removed via 22815419f8
so the current file in the PHP source code is not used anymore.
Additionally, the *.slo files were processed by this file. The *.slo
files also used to be generated by older libtool so today, these don't
get generated anymore.
The `.deps` file(s) was once used by Automake and created to write
dependencies to it. The file creation has been removed via the commit
779c11af21.
The phpize and ./configure script create a redundant .deps file in a
PECL extension directory which might cause confusions why is it used.
Today it is no longer relevant so this redundant artefact can be
removed in the phpize configure script.
This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final
newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines.
According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.
C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."
Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

The Autoconf AC_PRESERVE_HELP_ORDER macro has been available since
Autoconf 2.59c [1] and in PHP it has been called conditionally on two places
to support older Autoconf versions. With recent updates and the macro
can be called unconditionally.

This patch syncs and bumps the minimum required version of Autoconf for
the `phpize.m4` script and the main `configure.ac` from previously mixed
2.64 and 2.59 to 2.68.
At the time of this writing Autoconf 2.63 is still the version on
Centos 6, however by the PHP 7.3 release current systems out there
should all have pretty much updated Autoconf versions to 2.64+ at
least. Centos 7 already has Autoconf 2.69, for example.
This provides more options to update and get current with the *nix
build system and also avoids broken builds in certain cases as pointed
out in the relevant discussion [1].
Additionally, phpize also already provides the `AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG`
Autoconf Archive m4 file that has Autoconf 2.64 minimum requirement.
Autoconf 2.68 was released in 2010, 8 years ago, relative to this patch.

This patch makes several scripts and PHP development tools files
executable and adds more proper shebangs to the PHP scripts.
The `#!/usr/bin/env php` shebang provides running the script via
`./script.php` and uses env to find PHP script location on the system.
At the same time it still provides running the script with a user
defined PHP location using `php script.php`.
Autoconf 2.50 made several changes to macro calls. These include also
arguments passed to AC_OUTPUT macro. The upgrading chapter in Autoconf
documentation include an example of using AC_OUTPUT with
AC_CONFIG_FILES and AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS:
- https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Obsolete-Macros.html
PHP 5.4 to 7.1 require Autoconf 2.59+, PHP 7.2+ require Autoconf 2.64+,
and PHP 7.2 phpize script requires Autoconf 2.59+ which are all greater
than above mentioned 2.50 version. Systems out there should well support
this by now.
This patch was created with the help of autoupdate script:
autoupdate <file>
More info on where exactly this got deprecated:
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/autoconf-2.13/html_mono/autoconf.html
- ftp://ftp.auckland.ac.nz/pub/gnu/Manuals/autoconf-2.52/html_chapter/autoconf_15.html

Some editors utilizing .editorconfig automatically trim whitespaces. For
convenience this patch removes whitespaces in certain build files:
- ext/*/config*.m4
- configure.ac
- acinclude.m4
The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.
This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.
Autoconf doesn't mention the AC_CONFIG_HEADER macro since the v2.13
released in 1999 anywhere in the documentation. Future of this macro is
unclear and commented as possible candidate for obsoletion in the
autoconf source code. Since it is just a wrapper around the main
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS macro, the functionality is the same, and also more
clear to find it in the autoconf documentation and avoid possible future
obsoletion.
