In the buildconf and configure batch files, Windows' cscript utility was being
run without the /e:jscript flag. This works on systems that have not had the
default .js file association changed, but if .js has been re-associated to
(say) an IDE, the batch files fail with the error message:
Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".js".
ASan instrumentation does not support the MSVC debug runtime, but still
it does not make sense to enable optimizations for such builds, since
they are not meant for production usage anyway, and although memory
corruption issues are still found in optimized builds, the generated
diagnostics are close to being useless, and apparently sometimes even
outright wrong. Therefore, we disable all optimizations for ASan
instrumented builds.
We also introduce and use `ZEND_WIN32_NEVER_INLINE` for ASan enabled
builds to avoid inlining of functions, so we get even better
diagnostics.
ext/win32std is unmaintained for years, so it is highly unlikely that
it is available. We therefore use regedit instead to register the
event source. We also remove the bundled syslog.reg, since it is of no
use, unless generated for the respective installation.
This reverts commit cc44bad1f6, since its
assumptions were not correct. Actually, the classic event logging is
still used by PHP, because Windows 7 is still to be supported for a
while. Without the respective registry entries, the event log entries
show an error message regarding missing ID descriptions.
Thanks to ab@php.net for hinting at this!
Obviously, the part depending on ext/win32std has still to be
overhauled, and further improvements are conceivable; we will address
this in due course.
- yp_get_default_domain was part of ext/yp
- functions checks produce HAVE_function_name symbols. These checks are
currently not used in php-src neither in the extensions out there.
- Removed symbols because they are not used in the code:
- HAVE_GCVT
- HAVE_PUTENV
- HAVE_PUTENV
- HAVE_SETVBUF
- HAVE_TEMPNAM
- HAVE_SIN (sin is also defined in C89 standard)
- HAVE_SETSOCKOPT
- HAVE_LOCKF
- HAVE_ISASCII
- HAVE_YP_GET_DEFAULT_DOMAIN (and other yp extension related unused checks)
- HAVE_LINK
- HAVE_USLEEP is already defined in Windows configuration header
- HAVE_LIBBIND has not been used in php-src for a while anymore
- HAVE_GETHOSTNAME is duplicated in Windows configuration header
Closes GH-4417
- TIMELIB_OMIT_STDINT is not used anymore since
a171f99cf0
- HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY was defined multiple times in Windows headers
- ext/date/lib/timelib_config.h.win32 does not seem to be used
Closes GH-4400
These are part of the C89 and on today's systems not needed to be
checked anymore. This removes symbols HAVE_SIGNAL and HAVE_STRERROR.
- http://port70.net/~nsz/c/c89/c89-draft.html
- locale.h is also part of C89 but will be removed per request in PHP 8
While it is already possible to *set* CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (actually all
variables) from the environment for `nmake` (by passing the `/E`
option), it is not possible to *add* any (C|LD)FLAGS, which can be
useful in some cases. Instead of allowing this for `nmake`, we add
support for additional custom (C|LD)FLAGS to `configure`, similar to
how that works on Linux, so one could actually write:
````
set CFLAGS=foo & set LDFLAGS=bar & configure
````
This also allows us to use these flags during configure.
The following functions don't need to be checked anymore since the
they are not used across the code or the symbols aren't used anymore:
- cuserid (not used)
- lrand48 (not used and removed via
6d6ef7aacc)
- random (check is not used)
- srand48 (not used)
- srandom (not used)
- strdup (check is not used)
and the unused check symbols:
- HAVE_CUSERID
- HAVE_LRAND48
- HAVE_RANDOM
- HAVE_SRAND48
- HAVE_SRANDOM
- HAVE_STRDUP
Closes GH-4338
The limits.h header is part of the C89 and is today available
everywhere. There is no need to check for presence of this header
anymore.
The timelib has already been patched upstream via
aae5907cb7
PHP extensions out there shouldn't rely on symbols defined during the
build anyway and neither they do on this particular symbol anymore.
The strcoll function is defined in the C89 standard and should be
on today's systems always available via the <string.h> header.
https://port70.net/~nsz/c/c89/c89-draft.html#4.11.4.3
- Remove also SKIPIF strcoll check in test
The `<loccale.h>` header file, setlocale, and localeconv are part of the
standard C89 [1] and on current systems can be used unconditionally.
Since PHP 7.4 requires at least C89 or greater, the `HAVE_LOCALE_H`,
`HAVE_SETLOCALE`, and `HAVE_LOCALECONV` symbols defined by Autoconf in
configure.ac [2] can be ommitted and simplifed.
The bundled libmagic (file) has also been patched already in version
5.35 and up in upstream location so when it will be patched also in
php-src the check for locale.h header is still left in the configure.ac
and in windows headers definition file.

Omit the bundled libmagic files
Since Autoconf 2.53 the AC_INIT call with only a single argument has
been made obsolete and now includes several other optional arguments to
make installation experience a bit better by providing program version
and links to the project in the `./configure -h` output. This patch also
updates win build version. The phpize.m4 AC_INIT has been updated with
the call without arguments.
For the latest versions, refer also to the Visual Studio version, not to
the exact toolset version. The latest Visual Studio versions are moving
fast and the method existed previously is not sutable to keep up
anymore. Instead of refering to the exact toolset, it refers to the
Visual Studio version and implies the latest toolset available there.
That is still not ideal, another situation can arise where VS version is
not changed, but the toolset version is. It might be better to refer to
it a generic way in the future or even omit at all, and improve the
internal compatibility checks instead.
This patch joins two very much related pieces of docs together in a
single file dedicated to all sorts of contributing info.
Some more changes:
- Branches info copied from the current master branch
- LXR and bonsai info removed
- Duplicated info reduced a bit
- Security branch updated to 7.1
- Refactor intro for Git commit rules
- Updated README.GIT-RULES file usage in win32/build/confutils.js
- Refactored configure.ac
- AC_CHECK_SIZEOF is now called mostly only in PHP_CHECK_STDINT_TYPES()
macro except for some parts checking for the 32 or 64 bit architecture.
- SIZEOF_CHAR removed since it is always 1
- ZEND_BIN_ID is now of a more logical pattern `BIN_48888` on 64bit
architectures and `BIN_44444` on 32bit instead of literal string
`BIN_SIZEOF_CHAR48888` on 64bit and `BIN_SIZEOF_CHAR44444` on 32bit.
The unneeded SIZEOF_CHAR part has been removed.
- XMLRPC_TYPE_CHECKS removed
- The `long long int` is the same as `long long` and redundant checks
removed accordingly.
- Removed PHP_CHECK_64BIT macro. Checking if current platform is 64bit
or not can be also done simply by using a check of the long type on
place. This removes redundant m4 macro PHP_CHECK_64BIT.
Changes:
- AC_TYPE_SIZE_T called on only one place (configure.ac)
- AC_FUNC_ALLOCA called on only one place (configure.ac)
- AC_TYPE_UID_T called on only one place (configure.ac)
- HAVE_STRSTR removed since strstr is part of C89 standard [1]
- Remove checks for strtol and strpbrk
- Checking for the presence of perror function is not needed anymore
since it is part of C89 standard and PHP calls it unconditionally.
- Checking for functions strdup, setenv, strerror, and memmove done only
on one place (configure.ac)
- outdated check for snprintf removed

Function strftime is part of the C89 standard [1] and current systems
don't need to check for its presence anymore.
Additionally, checks for strftime function in tests have been removed
since the PHP strftime function is now always available.

- INSTALL file contents moved to README.md
- Windows releases now instead of install.txt file ship with the
README.md.
- A brief installation section added with help options mentioned for the
configure and make.
- Also mentioned the `-j` option for build and tests

Changes:
- PHP_TM_GMTOFF removed
- HAVE_TM_GMTOFF replaced with HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_GMTOFF
- HAVE_TM_ZONE replaced with HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE
- HAVE_TZNAME removed
The PHP_TM_GMTOFF macro can be replaced with Autoconf's AC_CHECK_MEMBERS
that defines the HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_GMTOFF symbol instead of the
HAVE_TM_ZONE.
The HAVE_TZNAME symbol is not used in current code. The obsolete
HAVE_TM_ZONE symbol has been replaced with more proper
HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE. These are defined by the AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE
macro.
Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_HEADER_STDC`.
This macro checks if given system has C89 compliant header files such
as `<string.h>`, `<stdlib.h>`, `<stdarg.h>`, `<float.h>`,... and defines
the `STDC_HEADERS` symbol [2]. Case is that current systems should be
well supported with at least C89 standard headers [3].
Given headers are still additionally checked with the `AC_PROG_CC`
macro, yet not needed anyway.
Additionally, the HAVE_MEMCPY check has been removed. The memcpy
function is standardized by C89 and later.

The snprintf function is part of the C99 standard and newer systems in
most cases all support it as defined in the standard. However, some old
Windows and HP-UX systems the function behaves differently. These checks
were also removed and PHP now uses a replacement for the snprintf
function. With gradual transition to C99 usage as a minimum requirement,
it will also be able to be replaced to system's snprintf function
directly.
Additionally in this context the unused HAVE_VSNPRINTF and check for
vsnprintf have been removed. PHP uses its own vsnprintf implementation
for now until more reliable C99 compliant function can be used from the
C libraries.
The sprintf function has been normalized to php_sprintf via
61364b5bb1.
This patch removes the checks to make a custom sprintf function
The ZEND_BROKEN_SPRINTF has been removed and the
hardcoded #define zend_sprintf sprintf is used.
The php_sprintf and zend_sprintf are now symbols to sprintf.
This patch now removes the custom PHP definitions of the php_sprintf and
zend_sprintf functions in favor of the C99 sprintf which is also
standardized in C89 already. Once, on some systems sprintf didn't behave
in same way.
This patch follows previous license year ranges updates. With new
approach source code files now have simplified headers with license
information without year ranges.
This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.
A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.
This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.
With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.
Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.
