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
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.
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.

Autoconf 2.50 released in 2001 made several macros obsolete including
the AC_TRY_RUN, AC_TRY_COMPILE and AC_TRY_LINK:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/tree/ChangeLog.2
These macros should be replaced with the current AC_FOO_IFELSE instead:
- AC_TRY_RUN with AC_RUN_IFELSE and AC_LANG_SOURCE
- AC_TRY_LINK with AC_LINK_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM
- AC_TRY_COMPILE with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM
PHP 5.4 to 7.1 require Autoconf 2.59+ version, PHP 7.2 and above require
2.64+ version, and the PHP 7.2 phpize script requires 2.59+ version which
are all greater than above mentioned 2.50 version therefore systems
should be well supported by now.
This patch was created with the help of autoupdate script:
autoupdate <file>

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.
- dba008.phpt never runs anyway, no need to keep it
- bug75357.phpt has a branch that is never hit, which should not change the bug behavior in anyway
- bug55371.phpt added a simple 'done' test to not let the EXPECT section be empty
When the PHP source code was versioned in Subversion, there was
possible to substitute certain keywords such as $Id$ with revision
number, last change time and author name. Such approach is not used
in Git so this patch removes these outdated artifacts from source
code files.
Prohibit direct update of GC_REFCOUNT(), GC_SET_REFCOUNT(), GC_ADDREF() and GC_DELREF() shoukf be instead.
Added mactros to validate reference-counting (disabled for now).
These macros are going to be used to eliminate race-condintions during reference-counting on data shared between threads.
With append mode it is only possible to write to the end of the file. It
is not suitable for drivers like flatfile. Thus, if the file is created,
the stream is closed and is reopened with r+b, otherwise r+ mode is used
right away.
To be able to build the dba extension on Windows, libdb was required. This
is contrary to *nix where each handler can be configured individually. We
only do minimal modifications, instead of adjusting the Windows configuration
to match the *nix configuration, for now.

These are either in debug code (fix them), commented out (drop
them) or in dead compatibility macros (drop them).
One usage was in php_stream_get_from_zval(), which we have not used
since at least PHP 5.2 and, judging from the fact that nobody
complained about it causing compile errors in PHP 7, nobody else
uses it either, so drop it.
There are still remaining uses in mysqli embedded and odbc birdstep.
These probably need to be dropped outright.
When the user passes --with-db4=DIR to ./configure, the directory DIR
is searched for a number of paths in order of preference. These paths
contain possible locations for Berkeley DB (BDB) to be installed, and
since PHP only supports BDB-4.x and BDB-5.x, it's important that (for
example) version 5.1 be autodetected before falling back to
/usr/include/db.h which can point to BDB-6.x.
The newer BDB-5.3 works with PHP, and if only BDB-5.3 is installed on
the user's system, the current ./configure script is fine. However, if
both BDB-5.3 and BDB-6.0 are installed, version 5.3 is not
autodetected, causing BDB-6.0 to be used. The ./configure step then fails.
This commit adds autodetection for BDB-5.3, and fixes a bug reported
on Gentoo at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564824.
