Now that we properly dereference references of the superglobals. we
also need to dereference contained references to avoid to string
conversion.
Closes GH-7014.
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 $Id$ 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.
If this does not break the Unix system somehow, I'll be amazed. This should get most of it out, apologies for any errors this may cause on non-Windows ends which I cannot test atm.
GD:
- PrintWindow() is available as of Windows XP, it requires linking to User32.lib, which config.w32 for ext/gd already.
CLI:
- The borrowed functions from PostgreSQL to set the titles of the console window uses SetConsoleTitle() and GetConsoleTitle(), both are available as of Windows 2000 from Kernel32.lib which we already are linking against.
Standard:
- The disk space utility functions uses GetDiskFreeSpaceExA() which is available as of Windows XP, again links to Kernel32.lib.
- The symlink() PHP function uses CreateSymbolicLinkA() which is available from Windows Vista, again from Kernel32.lib.
- php_get_windows_name() in info.c uses GetNativeSystemInfo() which is available as of Windows XP and GetProductInfo() which is available as of Windows Vista, both are again from Kernel32.lib.
Notes:
- ext/interbase & ext/pdo_firebird uses GetProcAddress(), I'm not entirely sure how to handle this one.
- ext/sqlite3, this is apart of the bundled libsqlite3, I don't really wanna play around with our bundled libs and make it a bigger issue for those who maintain and upgrade them.
- ext/readline, the call to GetProcAddress() here does not do any system calls, so it is left as is.
- win32/ioutil.c uses GetProcAddress(), but the function it attempts to load (PathCchCanonicalizeEx()) is only available from Windows 8 and greater (Pathcch.lib linkage).
- win32/time.c uses GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime() which is available from Windows 8 and greater to get the current system date and time which the highest possible precision and falls back to GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() (available as of Windows 2000), again Kernel32.lib, the GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime() is left in a GetProcAddress().
Instead of directly writing to stdout. This allows doing a print_r
into a string, without using output buffering.
The motivation for this is bug #67467: print_r() in return mode
will still dump the string to stdout (causing a potential information
leak) if a fatal error occurs.
