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 `mkdep.awk` file was part of the previous *nix build system and was
used to create a .deps file with a list of dependencies that could be
processed by Automake further on.
Newer build system was done via 9d9d39a0de
and outdated files removed via 22815419f8
so the current file in the PHP source code is not used anymore.
Additionally, the *.slo files were processed by this file. The *.slo
files also used to be generated by older libtool so today, these don't
get generated anymore.
The `.deps` file(s) was once used by Automake and created to write
dependencies to it. The file creation has been removed via the commit
779c11af21.
The phpize and ./configure script create a redundant .deps file in a
PECL extension directory which might cause confusions why is it used.
Today it is no longer relevant so this redundant artefact can be
removed in the phpize configure script.
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.

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.

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.

This patch makes several scripts and PHP development tools files
executable and adds more proper shebangs to the PHP scripts.
The `#!/usr/bin/env php` shebang provides running the script via
`./script.php` and uses env to find PHP script location on the system.
At the same time it still provides running the script with a user
defined PHP location using `php script.php`.
Autoconf 2.50 made several changes to macro calls. These include also
arguments passed to AC_OUTPUT macro. The upgrading chapter in Autoconf
documentation include an example of using AC_OUTPUT with
AC_CONFIG_FILES and AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS:
- https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Obsolete-Macros.html
PHP 5.4 to 7.1 require Autoconf 2.59+, PHP 7.2+ require Autoconf 2.64+,
and PHP 7.2 phpize script requires Autoconf 2.59+ which are all greater
than above mentioned 2.50 version. Systems out there should well support
this by now.
This patch was created with the help of autoupdate script:
autoupdate <file>
More info on where exactly this got deprecated:
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/autoconf-2.13/html_mono/autoconf.html
- ftp://ftp.auckland.ac.nz/pub/gnu/Manuals/autoconf-2.52/html_chapter/autoconf_15.html

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.
Autoconf doesn't mention the AC_CONFIG_HEADER macro since the v2.13
released in 1999 anywhere in the documentation. Future of this macro is
unclear and commented as possible candidate for obsoletion in the
autoconf source code. Since it is just a wrapper around the main
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS macro, the functionality is the same, and also more
clear to find it in the autoconf documentation and avoid possible future
obsoletion.
configure.ac was introduced in 2001 with automake-1.15 and autoconf-2.50
to replace the file named configure.in.
Autotools is preparing to remove configure.in in Automake 2.0.
All new software should be using configure.ac.
This also fixes Bug #69770 where extensions are creating configure.in

* Switch default REPORT_LEVEL to 1 to cut down on the noise
* Make initialization of 'C' variable always required
* Don't require init of lLdb variable if ! is used
* Don't throw error about missing init of not detected parameters
(This was a regression in the last changeset)
* Support method_parameters and throw variations
* Allow / on everything but lLdb (on which it will work, but makes
no sense).
* For ! on lLdb add additional zend_bool* parameter.
* For optional s and p only require one of the variables to be
initialized. The length is usually not initialized.
