And convert some object to string conversion related recoverable
fatal errors into Error exceptions.
Improve exception safety of internal code performing string
conversions.
Use an XmlParser object instead of a resource. This is an internal
representation change, not a conversion to OO APIs. XmlParser objects
cannot be explicitly constructed, they are created through the usual
xml_parser_* APIs.
This change allows us to provide a proper get_gc() implementation,
thus resolving bugs #72793 and #76874.
xml_parser_free() is a no-op now and need not be called anymore.
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.
Setting up an empty default handler is not only useless, but actually
harmful, since internal entity-references are not resolved anymore.
From the libexpat docs[1]:
| Setting the handler with this call has the side effect of
| turning off expansion of references to internally defined general
| entities. Instead these references are passed to the default
| handler.

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.
The issue is caused by an integer overflow when the `long` passed as
XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART is assigned to `xml_parser::toffset` which is
declared as `int`. We can simply work around this issue, by clipping
resulting negative values to 0 (and raising a notice in this case), because
the reasonable range for this value is certainly catered to by positive
`int`s.
However, there still remains the issue that `xml_parser::toffset` is later
added to `char *`s, which can cause OOB reads, so we make sure that the
upper bound never exceeds the strlen(). We eschew optimizing `SKIP_TAGSTART`
wrt. to the potentially duplicate strlen() call, because that code path is
unexpected anyway.
