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
There is now only a single M4 macro in the legacy acinclude.m4 file. A
separate acinclude file was once used with a standalone Zend engine
building but with current build system this can be simplified a bit.
It seems like GCC 5 likes to warn about exactly those trivial strict
aliasing violations that it's not going to miscompile anyway and the
warnings are gone in newer versions. Just disable the noise.
The `<signal.h>` header file is part of the standard C89 headers [1] and
on current systems can be included unconditionally.
Since file requires at least C89 or greater, the `HAVE_SIGNAL_H` symbol
defined by Autoconf in Zend.m4 [2] can be ommitted and simplifed.
The bundled libmagic (file) also ommits the usage of HAVE_SIGNAL_H since
5.35 however current version in PHP is very modified 5.34 version and
will be refactored separately. Check for HAVE_SIGNAL_H is therefore
still done in the configure.ac.

The `<limits.h>` header file is part of the standard C89 headers [1]
and on current systems can be included unconditionally.
Since PHP requires at least C89 or greater, the `HAVE_LIMITS_H` symbol
defined by Autoconf in configure.ac [2] can be ommitted and simplifed
however due to bundled file library (libmagic) and timelib still using
it, the removal there was omitted and done only in Zend.m4 file.
Current bundled libraries libtime, oniguruma, and libmagic still include
partial `HAVE_LIMITS_H` usage and will be more refactored when this is
possible.

This patch refactors these macros to also checks for the required given
versions of bison and re2c.
- PHP_PROG_RE2C and PHP_PROG_BISON take optional args - minmimum version
required, and bison also excluded versions.
- Instead of caching values this uses manual checking and messaging
outputs.
- It looks like the minimum version of RE2C 0.13.4 is working ok so far.
The genfiles script improvements:
- Add make override in genfiles
- Move checkings from makedist to genfiles
- Refactored output messages
- Various minor enhancements
Changes:
- AC_TYPE_SIZE_T called on only one place (configure.ac)
- AC_FUNC_ALLOCA called on only one place (configure.ac)
- AC_TYPE_UID_T called on only one place (configure.ac)
- HAVE_STRSTR removed since strstr is part of C89 standard [1]
- Remove checks for strtol and strpbrk
- Checking for the presence of perror function is not needed anymore
since it is part of C89 standard and PHP calls it unconditionally.
- Checking for functions strdup, setenv, strerror, and memmove done only
on one place (configure.ac)
- outdated check for snprintf removed

The AC_CHECK_TYPE was refactored in more recent versions of Autoconf
and the call with two arguments is obsolete and not recommended anymore.
This patch also refactors some leftovers of using ulong and uint which
are not standard nor common usages of types in C.
The ulong can be used as zend_ulong and uint usage is actually
`unsigned int`.
The usage of HAVE_ULONG removed since it is not used in current code
base.
Legacy edgecase for some legacy HPUX systems removed:
- sys/stream.h header is not checked and the HAVE_SYS_STREAM_H is
not defined with current build system.
- flags are unsigned int
- max_allowed_packet changed to unsigned int
The AC_PROG_CC_C_O macro checks if compiler can use both -c and -o
options together and if not it defines the NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O symbol.
It is not used in current codebase and therefore removed.
Checking for int32_t and uint32_t types is already done by the
PHP_CHECK_STDINT_TYPES m4 macro.
The PHP_CHECK_TYPES m4 macro has been once used by the mysqlnd and has
been removed via 14caf174ff and
additionally, the internal unused macro _PHP_DEF_HAVE_FILE has been
removed.
Additionally, the unused PHP_HAVE_STDINT_TYPES symbol has been removed.
Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_HEADER_STDC`.
This macro checks if given system has C89 compliant header files such
as `<string.h>`, `<stdlib.h>`, `<stdarg.h>`, `<float.h>`,... and defines
the `STDC_HEADERS` symbol [2]. Case is that current systems should be
well supported with at least C89 standard headers [3].
Given headers are still additionally checked with the `AC_PROG_CC`
macro, yet not needed anyway.
Additionally, the HAVE_MEMCPY check has been removed. The memcpy
function is standardized by C89 and later.
