This macro defines the inline keyword to be `__inline__`, `__inline`,
or empty, based on the compiler inline support. Since PHP requires C99,
which has the inline keyword definition and all current compilers
support it, this check is redundant and not needed anymore.
When targeting Darwin systems (macOS, etc.), the compiler defines the
__APPLE__ symbol, which should be sufficient and a more established
detection method practice in these cases.
The next generation of C compilers is going to enforce the C standard
more strictly:

One warning that will soon become an error is -Wstrict-prototypes.
This is relatively easy to catch in most code (it will fail to
compile), but inside of autoconf tests it can go unnoticed because
many feature-test compilations fail by design. For example,
$ export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Werror=strict-prototypes"
$ ./configure
...
checking if iconv supports errno... no
configure: error: iconv does not support errno
(this is on a system where iconv *does* support errno). If errno
support were optional, that test would have "silently" disabled
it. The underlying issue here, from config.log, is
conftest.c:211:5: error: function declaration isn't a prototype
[-Werror=strict-prototypes]
211 | int main() {
This commit goes through all of our autoconf tests, replacing main()
with main(void). Up to equivalent types and variable renamings, that's
one of the two valid signatures, and satisfies the compiler (gcc-12 in
this case).
Fixes GH-10751
* Remove ZEND_DVAL_TO_LVAL_CAST_OK
As far as I can see, this operation should always use the _slow method, and the results seem to be wrong when ZEND_DVAL_TO_LVAL_CAST_OK is enabled.
* update NEWS
Also add a new ZEND_MM_NEED_EIGHT_BYTE_REALIGNMENT definition.
This fixes many [-Wsign-conversion] warnings.

Make sure the $PHP_THREAD_SAFETY variable is always available
when configuring extensions. It was previously available for
phpized extensions, but for in-tree builds it was being set
too late.
Then, use $PHP_THREAD_SAFETY instead of $enable_zts to check for
ZTS in bundled extensions, which makes sure these checks also
work for phpize builds.
- 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.
The compile warnings which are explicitly suppressed are:
* -Wno-implicit-fallthrough
* -Wno-unused-parameter
* -Wno-sign-compare
* -Wno-clobbered, only with GCC
Closes GH-5151
C99 no longer has implicit function declarations and implicit ints.
Current GCC versions enable them as an extension, but this will
change in a future GCC version.
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
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.
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
