This was needed when php_config.h also declare compatibility
shims for isinf() and friends. These are no longer present in
master, so drop this include.
Looking at the history of this function, the original implementation had a bug where
it would return from the middle of the function without unlocking the mutex first.
The author attempted to fix this by incrementing the `initialized` flag atomically,
which is not necessary, since the section which modifies the flag is protected by a
mutex.
Coincidentally, at the same time that all this unnecessary 'atomic' machinery was
introduced, the code was also changed so that it didn't return without unlocking the
mutex. So it looks like the bug was fixed by accident.
It's not necessary to declare the flag as `volatile` either, since it is protected
by a mutex.
Further, the 'fixed' implementation was also wrong in another respect: on Windows
and Solaris, the `initialized` flag was not even declared as `static`!! So the
initialization of the static tables for S-boxes, P-boxes, etc. was repeated on
each call to `php_crypt`, completely defeating the purpose of this function.
- Fix typo in build/php.m4
- Nothing uses HAVE_INTTYPES_H; so remove check for header file
- Nothing defines ZEND_ACCONFIG_H_NO_C_PROTOS; so remove #ifndef
- `format_money` was removed in 2019, so <monetary.h> no longer needed
- Nothing uses HAVE_NETDB_H; so remove check for header file
- Nothing checks HAVE_TERMIOS_H; so remove check for header file
(This was actually added when Wez Furlong was adding the original implementation of
PTY support in `proc_open`, since replaced.)
- Nothing checks HAVE_SYS_AUXV_H; so remove check for header file
- PHP_BUILD_DATE variable is not used for anything, so remove it
This variable was added to the Makefile, but from there, was not used for anything.
The comments suggest it was intended to allow 'reproducible builds'. Presumably,
this means that if a bug is found in a PHP binary somewhere, one could look at the
Makefile which it was built from, see the date, and then could check the same
code version out from source control. But... there can easily be multiple commits
to the repo in the same day. Also, what makes us think that the Makefile which a
binary was built from will be easily available?
Besides, ext/standard/info.c already embeds the build date and time in each binary...
but it does it using `__DATE__` and `__TIME__` (see `php_print_info`).
- Nothing checks HAVE_FINITE; so don't check for function
- Grammar fix to comment in build/php.m4
- Nothing sets $php_ldflags_add_usr_lib variable in configure, so remove conditional
This was added in 2002, when Rasmus was having difficulty building PHP on some
host and needed to have /usr/lib in the rpath. It was never documented and
probably has never been used by anyone else.
In 1999, inline optimization was turned off by default. The commit log indicates this was
done because GCC was running out of memory on some hosts when building the Zend executor.
In 2003, inline optimization was re-enabled by default, but a build option was added to
turn it off if one runs out of memory when building.
Computing hardware has come a long way since 2003 and I doubt that anyone is running out
of memory when building PHP now.
Interestingly, this code set an unused variable called `INLINE_CFLAGS`. It actually
disabled inline optimization by adding -O0 to the build command, not using `INLINE_CFLAGS`.
Just to see how much memory GCC/Make are using when building PHP, I tried building with
successively higher values of `ulimit -v` until it succeeded. Interestingly, while most
of the codebase can be built with about 400MB of memory, ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.c
requires 1.2GB, doubtless because it includes ext/fileinfo/data_file.c, which is more
than 350,000 lines long. That is with GCC 7.5.0.
Most users get PHP as a binary package anyways, so the question is, are *packagers*
of PHP trying to build on machines with just 1GB RAM? And would they want to package
a PHP interpreter built with *no optimizations*? I can't imagine either being true.
Extend configure.ac to accept PHP_UNAME as env variable to set the value of the
PHP_UNAME define in a reproducible manner. This allows distributions to set a
fixed value for php_uname and keep the default behaviour if PHP_UNAME is not
set.
Motivation: https://reproducible-builds.org/
Closes GH-5671.
This flag enabled msan late in the pipeline, so that it does
not affect configure checks.
Otherwise we get a false positive report for openpty availability
without -lutil, which will then result in infinite recursion if
actually called.
This also sets origin tracking to 2, so bump the timeout to 90
minutes.
Back in 2004, a feature was added to proc_open which allowed it to open a PTY,
connecting specific FDs in the child process to the slave end of the PTY and returning
the master end of the PTY (wrapped as a PHP stream) in the `$pipes` array. However,
this feature was disabled just about a month later. Little information is available
about why this was done, but from talking to the original implementer, it seems there
were portability problems with some rare flavors of Unix.
Re-enable this feature with a simplified implementation which uses openpty(). No
attempt is made to support PTYs if the platform does not have openpty(). The configure
script checks if linking with -lutil is necessary to use openpty(), but if anything
else is required, like including some special header or linking with some other library,
PTY support will be disabled.
The original PTY support for proc_open automatically daemonized the child process
(disassociating it from the TTY session and process group of the parent). However,
I don't think this is a good idea. Just because a user opens a child process in a
PTY, it doesn't mean they want it to continue running even when the parent process
is killed. Of course, if the child process is some kind of server, it will likely
daemonize itself; but we have no reason to preempt that decision.
It turns out that since 2015, there has been one test case for PTY support in
proc_open() in the test suite. This test was added in GitHub PR #1588
(https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1588). That PR mentioned that the PHP
binary in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories is patched to *enable* PTY support. Checking
the Debian PHP repository (https://salsa.debian.org/php-team/php.git) shows that this
is still true. Debian's patch does not modify the implementation from 2004 in any
way; it just removes the #if 0 line which disables it.
Naturally, the test case is skipped if PTY support is not enabled. This means that ever
since it was added, every test run against the 'vanilla' PHP codebase has skipped it.
Interestingly, the test case which was added in 2015 fails on my Linux Mint PC... both
with this simplified implementation *and* when enabling the original implementation.
Investigation reveals the reason: when the child process using the slave end of the
PTY exits and its FDs are all closed, and all buffered data is read from the master
end of the PTY, any further attempt to read from the master end fails with EIO. The
test case seems to expect that reading from the master end will always return an
empty string if no data is available.
Likely this is because PHP's fread() was updated to report errors from the underlying
system calls only recently.
One way out of this dilemma: IF at least one FD referring to the slave end of the PTY is
kept open *in the parent process*, the failure with EIO will not occur even after the child
process exits. However, that would raise another issue: we would need a way to ensure the FD
will be closed eventually in long-running programs.
Another discovery made while testing this code is that fread() does not always return
all the data written to the slave end of the PTY in a single call, even if the data was
written with a single syscall and it is only a few bytes long.
Specifically, when the child process in the test case writes "foo\n" to the PTY, the parent
sometimes receives "foo" (3 bytes) and sometimes "foo\r\n" (5 bytes). (The "\r" is from the
TTY line discipline converting "\n" to "\r\n".) A second call to fread() does return the
remaining bytes, though sometimes all the data is read in the first call, and by the time
the second call is made, the child process has already exited. It seems that liberal use
of the @ operator is needed when using fread() on pipes.
Thanks to Nikita Popov for suggesting that we should just use openpty() rather than
grantpt(), unlockpt(), etc.
I reverted this previously for 7.4 because of bug #78769. Relanding
it now for master, because I still believe that this change is
right, and if it causes complications, those indicate a bug elsewhere.

These were checking whether the instruction set is supported by
the host CPU, however they were only used to condition on whether
this instruction set is targeted at all. It would still use dynamic
dispatch (e.g. based on ifunc resolvers) to select the actual
implementation. Whether the target is guaranteed to support the
instruction set without dispatch is determined based on pre-defined
macros like __SSE2__.
This removes the configure-time builtin cpu checks to remove
confusion. Additionally this allows targeting an architecture that
is newer than the host architecture.
php_mergesort() isn't being used for anything, and hasn't been for
a long time. Even if we wanted to use a stable sort, this isn't
the implementation we'd use...
This reverts commit edccf32f7f.
This was reported to cause issues for as yet unknown reasons in
bug #78769. As this was intended as code cleanup, revert this from
7.4 at least. May reapply it to master later.

When building PHP outside of the source tree:
mkdir custom-build-dir
cd custom-build-dir

The directories need to be manually created including the pear directory
so the pear installation PHAR file doesn't need to be downloaded from
the remote location.

This was a left over for supporting old code in PHP extensions out there.
Check is not needed anymore since this is part of C89+ standard.
Closes GH-4445
- 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
The undef PTHREADS converts to define if thread safety is configured.
This step is already done by pthreads m4 macros from TSRM so this now
removes duplicated PTHREADS defines from php_config.h.
Instead of patching configuration headers template generated by
the given tools - autoheader, this moves patching these symbols to
the configure step before creating and invoking the config.status
and before the configuration header file is generated from the
patched template.
Closes GH-4374
Changes:
- Coding style fixes
- ${1+"$@"} replaced with "$@" [1]
- EXTRA_MODULE_PTRS variable is not used anymore

- 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
- Variables php_abs_top_srcdir php_abs_top_builddir are no longer used.
- ZEND_EXT_TYPE is always zend_extension and variable is no longer used.
Closes GH-4378
This simplifies TSRM build steps a bit and avoids doing unnecessary
steps:
- The `PTHREADS_CHECK_COMPILE` can called inside the for loops only
since this is only where the `$pthreads_checked` variable is used.
- Assigning variables can be then done only in the configure.ac
once.
- use `m4_include()` instead of the `sinclude()` in the middle of
the build steps.
- The `$threads_result` variable is not used in the code or in
extensions.
Instead of building a custom macro for checking configure options,
Autoconf 2.62+ already outputs a warning at the beginning and the end
of the output of configure script. It automatically detects correct
and wrong options better.
This is related also to bug #55634.
So now instead a better way is the default Autoconf approach:
This outputs a warning at the beginning and end of the configure output:
./configure --with-non-existing
This results in fatal error:
./configure --non-existing
configure: error: unrecognized option: `--non-existing'
Try `./configure --help' for more information
The `--enable-option-checking=fatal` results in fatal error for all non
existing options:
./configure --with-non-existing --enable-option-checking=fatal
configure: error: unrecognized options: --with-non-existing
Closes GH-4348
This macro is not needed anymore. The AC_PROG_CC is done in the main
configure.ac file and the ranlib check is done by the bundled libtool
macros.
Closes GH-4339
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
Removed unused checks:
- mbsinit check removed, HAVE_MBSINIT removed (not used in php-src)
- mempcpy check removed, HAVE_MEMPCPY removed (not used in php-src anymore since
560ed89bfb which uses PHP's own implementation)
- strpncpy check removed, added via a8c9e893b6 and
not used.
- setpgid check removed since HAVE_SETPGID is not used
Moved to a central configure.ac:
- fpclass
- mbrlen moved to configure.ac (since the HAVE_MBRLEN is used accross the php-src)
- sigprocmask
- getcwd
- getwd
- glob
- strfmon
- nice
Duplicated checks removed:
- gethostname
- getlogin
- getpwuid_r
- socketpair
- mprotect check simplified
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
Some headers were checked multiple times in the main configure.ac file
and in the bundled extensions or SAPIs themselves. Also many of these
checks are then used accross other extensions or SAPIs so a central
configure.ac makes most sense for these checks.
For some reason, when using GCC with address sanitizer, dlopen
is available without -ldl, but dlsym still needs it. Explicitly check
dlsym so we add the library.
Normalization include:
- Use dnl for everything that can be ommitted when configure is built in
favor of the shell comment character # which is visible in the output.
- Line length normalized to 80 columns
- Dots for most of the one line sentences
- Macro definitions include similar pattern header comments now
TSRM configuration header file was once created by separate autoconf
build system for TSRM and is with the current code not directly needed
like this anymore.
Add --enable-werror configure option and use it on Travis. It's not
possible to directly use CFLAGS, because it also affects configure
checks which often throw warnings.
We can't enable something similar for Windows builds at this time,
because they throw a lot more warnings.
The acinclude.m4 file is in a usual Autotools build processed with
Automake's aclocal tool. Since PHP currently doesn't use Automake and
aclocal this file can be moved into the build directory. PHP build
system currently generates a combined aclocal.m4 file that Autoconf
can processes automatically.
However, a newer practice is writing all local macros in separate
dedicated files prefixed with package name, in PHP's case PHP_MACRO_NAME
and putting them in a common `m4` directory. PHP uses currently `build`
directory for this purpose.
Name `php.m4` probably most resembles such file for PHP's case.
PHP manually created the aclocal.m4 file from acinclude.m4 and
build/libtool.m4. Which is also not a particularly good practice [1], so
this patch also removes the generated alocal.m4 usage and uses
m4_include() calls manually in the configure.ac and phpize.m4 files
manually.
- sort order is not important but can be alphabetical
- list of *.m4 files prerequisites for configure script generation
updated
- Moving m4_include() before AC_INIT also removes all comments starting
with hash character (`#`) in the included files.
[1] https://autotools.io/autoconf/macros.html
There is now only a single M4 macro in the legacy acinclude.m4 file. A
separate acinclude file was once used with a standalone Zend engine
building but with current build system this can be simplified a bit.
The substitution is already done in the CLI's config.m4 file. Current
SAPIs only provide one PHP_EXECUTABLE variable, i.e. PHP CLI so the one
in the configure.ac can be removed.
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.

[2] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/tree/lib/autoconf/headers.m4
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.
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
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
RPM specification file was introduced via
7c2f1384d4 for PHP to include official
RPM packages long time agon. With removal of the makerpm script via
3d51d4c90c and Linux repositories to
manage such updated and customized info in their repositories this file
is most likely not needed anymore.
- 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
1: https://port70.net/~nsz/c/c89/c89-draft.html
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.
1: https://port70.net/~nsz/c/c89/c89-draft.html
- remove some outdated and not used macro calls
- remove some unused variables
- Remove not needed comment from tokenizer config.m4
- Remove not needed comment
- remove not needed local variables for editors and syntax highlighting
The AC_CHECK_TYPE was refactored in more recent versions of Autoconf
and the call with two arguments is obsolete and not recommended anymore.
This patch also refactors some leftovers of using ulong and uint which
are not standard nor common usages of types in C.
The ulong can be used as zend_ulong and uint usage is actually
`unsigned int`.
The usage of HAVE_ULONG removed since it is not used in current code
base.
Legacy edgecase for some legacy HPUX systems removed:
- sys/stream.h header is not checked and the HAVE_SYS_STREAM_H is
not defined with current build system.
- flags are unsigned int
- max_allowed_packet changed to unsigned int
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.
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.
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 is essentially a no-op, because any current compiler already
defaults to C99 or C11.
When using language features from C99 or C11, please don't forget
that header files also need to be compatible with C++.
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.
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 Automake and aclocal were part of the previous PHP build system
where Automake created Makefile from the Makefile.in templates and
aclocal was used to produce the aclocal.m4. They were removed as
dependencies via 9d9d39a0de and
e715fb00f8.
The `pear/scripts`, `pear/php-config`, `pear/phpize`, and
`pear/run-tests` used to be part of the PEAR installation. Now, the
pear installation PHAR file is directly downloaded from pear.php.net
instead.
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.
[1] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/tree/NEWS
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.

The C89 standard and later defines the `<string.h>` header as part of
the standard headers [1] and on current systems it is always present.
Code included also `<strings.h>` header as an alterinative in some
files. This kind of check was relevant on some older systems where the
`<strings.h>` file included definitions for the C89 compliant
`<string.h>`. Today such alternative check is not required anymore. The
`<strings.h>` file is part of the POSIX definition these days.
Also Autoconf suggests doing this and relying on C89 or above [2] and [3].
This patch also cleans few unused `<strings.h>` inclusions in the libmbfl.

We work around a strlen() optimization bug in GCC 8[1] by checking
whether the used GCC exhibits the broken behavior, and if so by
disabling `optimize-strlen`.

The `<assert.h>` header file is part of the standard C89 headers [1] and
on older systems there needed to be also a manual check if header is
present.
Since PHP requires at least C89 manual check and the `HAVE_ASSERT_H`
symbol defined by Autoconf in configure.ac can be both removed [2].
This patch also removes unused <assert.h> includes where c files don't
use the `assert()` macro.

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems, including the AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL.
This macro checks if `utime(file, NULL)` sets file's timestamp to the
current time and defines the `HAVE_UTIME_NULL` symbol. This check was
relevant on very old systems (for example, 4.3BSD released in 1986) and
today can be omitted for systems with utime since it should be well
supported by now. [2]

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_HEADER_DIRENT`.
This macro checks which header defines the `DIR` type. If `<dirent.h>`
is available it defines the `HAVE_DIRENT_H` symbol. Since the `<dirent.h>`
header is already checked in the `configure.ac`, this check is not needed
anymore. This macro also additionally checks for SCO Xenix (discontinued,
latest release 1989) dir and x libraries. [2]
Commit 6ed790685f introduced also
`<sys/dir.h>`. This header exists from times of UNIX System V and
provided definition of DIR type on these systems such as 4.3BSD.
Today `<sys/dir.h>` is kept for backwards compatibility and includes
the `<dirent.h>` on current systems. With `dirent.h>` present this
include is no longer required.

Remove unused dirent.h includes
Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) 1 started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the AC_FUNC_VPRINTF.
This macro checks for presence of the vprint function otherwise checks
for presence of the _doprnt function. This check was relevant on very
old systems and today can be omitted since it should be well supported
by now. [2]
Also PHP doesn't use the HAVE_VPRINTF or HAVE_DOPRNT symbols.

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_STRUCT_TM`.
This macro checks if `struct tm` is defined in either `<sys/time.h>` or
`<time.h>` and defines the `TM_IN_SYS_TIME` symbol accordingly. This
check was relevant in times before the C89 for some embedded systems,
microcontrollers or very old systems. For newer systems it can be
avoided and the `<time.h>` should be included instead since current
systems should be well supported by now. [2]
Since PHP requires at least C89, this patch removes the obsolescent call
and time.h checks.

The AC_ARG_PROGRAM Autoconf macro provides program name transformations
when installing. This patch implements #64517 and prepares the
implementation for the request #60518.
In ./configure --help it additionally outputs --program-prefix=PREFIX,
--program-suffix=SUFFIX and the upcoming --program-transform-name=PROGRAM
option.
Macro AC_ARG_PROGRAM is available since Autoconf 2.0 and needs to be
called after the AC_CANONICAL_TARGET macro.
