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.

The sprintf function has been normalized to php_sprintf via
61364b5bb1.
This patch removes the checks to make a custom sprintf function
The ZEND_BROKEN_SPRINTF has been removed and the
hardcoded #define zend_sprintf sprintf is used.
The php_sprintf and zend_sprintf are now symbols to sprintf.
This patch now removes the custom PHP definitions of the php_sprintf and
zend_sprintf functions in favor of the C99 sprintf which is also
standardized in C89 already. Once, on some systems sprintf didn't behave
in same way.
Removed files used to provide building Zend engine separately using
Autoconf and Automake:
cd Zend && ./buildconf && ./configure
Since Zend engine is tightly integrated in the PHP code itself and
current root configure.ac and acinclude provide this patch removes
these. Removed files also included several obsolete macros and
Automake dependency which is not used in main *nix PHP build system.
Apparently, the presence of `cpuid.h` is not necessarily sufficient to
guarantee the availability of `__cpuid_count()`. We therefore test for
the latter explicitly.
The C89 standard and later defines the `<string.h>` header as part of
the standard headers [1] and on current systems it is always present.
Code included also `<strings.h>` header as an alterinative in some
files. This kind of check was relevant on some older systems where the
`<strings.h>` file included definitions for the C89 compliant
`<string.h>`. Today such alternative check is not required anymore. The
`<strings.h>` file is part of the POSIX definition these days.
Also Autoconf suggests doing this and relying on C89 or above [2] and [3].
This patch also cleans few unused `<strings.h>` inclusions in the libmbfl.

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_FUNC_MEMCMP`.
On some old systems such as SunOS 4.1.3 (EOL in 2003) and NeXT x86
OpenStep (discontinued) the `memcmp` function wasn't present or it
didn't work properly. [2]
On current systems including at least Solaris 10+ this check is not
relevant anymore.
