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.
* 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)
There are 2-3 third-party libs in PHP which use DEBUG and I left them
this way (primary example is pcrelib).
- Please test things and Andrei, can you check that pcrelib stopped
printing the warning messages?
Remove mostly all references to APACHE and CGI_BINARY from the code.
- Apache include files are no longer included by any PHP code, except for the Apache SAPI module.
- No server specific code is in any of the base PHP code.
Still left to be done:
- Eliminate any references to APACHE from the few remaining modules.
- Move request_info.c's logic to SAPI
- Modify the regex function names, and globals, so that we can always
include them, without having to fear any interference with Apache;
Always use the bundled regex library
- added support for externally built modules,
- improved support for in-tree shared modules,
- fixed diversion bugs,
- configure displays some informative messages,
- faster static build
(libtool isn't used anymore for compiling non-PIC objects),
- dependencies comparable to automake's without requiring GNU make or GCC,
- working make clean for non-GNU makes.
necessary, because we can change the value of INCLUDES globally in one
place (configure.in).
Also add two defines in thread-safe mode
(_REENTRANT and POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS)
with libtool components
* SAPI targets can enable thread-safe mode and define
shared/static/program build target
* all configure scripts use the same config.cache
* phplibdir is $(top_builddir)/modules to avoid
permission problems
* sapi/*/Makefile.inc are gone
* runpath handling cleaned up
* top-level Makefile.in obsoleted through Makefile.am
* --enable-versioning uses libtool's cleaner and more
portable -export-symbols feature
I've defined a few macros to help with module/request init/startup function definitions.
Basically:
PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION(module)
PHP_MSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(module)
PHP_RINIT_FUNCTION(module)
PHP_RSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(module)
PHP_MINFO_FUNCTION(module)
These will expand to proper function prototypes.
Now to specify these in the module entry, use:
PHP_MINIT(module)
PHP_MSHUTDOWN(module)
PHP_RINIT(module)
PHP_RSHUTDOWN(module)
PHP_MINFO(module)
I've updated all modules in ext/standard and everything from ext/apache to ext/db.
If you can, please update your module to use these macros.
* Fully implement ISAPI support - POST and cookies among other things.
* Almost completely rewrote phpinfo(). Allow modules to easily display their
information in phpinfo() without modifying phpinfo() itself (prototype for
the module info function was changed, thus the large amount of updated module
files).
* Initial extended SAPI support for Apache, completely untested.
* CGI now uses SAPI fully as well.
