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.
uniqid() relies on microsecond-precise system clock to produce an
unique identifier. In order to avoid using the same value, the
original implementation calls usleep(1) to wait for the next microsecond.
Unfortunately, usleep() specification says "The suspension time may be
longer than requested due to the scheduling of other activity by the
system." Indeed, the pause may as as long as an entire execution slice,
causing a uniqid() call to last more than 10 ms.
This is fixed by replacing the usleep() call by time polling using
gettimeofday() until the microsecond changes. Since the getttimeoday()
system call lasts around a microsecond, only a small time is wasted
calling multiple gettimeofday. On the benefit side, uniqid() performance
in increased 10000 fold without changing its behavior.
