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.
This is logically an integer, and the function also returns the old
value as an integer. The fact that the integer needs to be converted
to a string for the ini assignment is an implementation detail.
I'm counting this towards the non-string needle deprecation from
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_7_3. I wasn't aware that
mb_ereg_replace() is also affected by this issue. It's even more
ridiculous than usual here, because the integer is interpreted as
an ASCII codepoint, even though these are supposed to be multibyte
functions :(
This variable was dropped in the pkg-config migration, which resulted
in spurious warnings about using valgrind with external PCRE. Fix the
checks to use the right variable.
Access to undefined constants will now always result in an Error
exception being thrown.
This required quite a few test changes, because there were many
buggy tests that unintentionally used bareword fallback in combination
with error suppression.
The only remaining case-insensitive constants are null, true and
false, which are handled explicitly.
In the future we may convert them from constants to reserved keywords.
There are probably some improvements we can do to the SPL
implementation now that __autoload() is gone. In particular having
EG(autoload_func) as a property zend function, rather than a simple
callback probably doesn't make sense.
