Autoconf defines PACKAGE_* symbols:
- PACKAGE_NAME
- PACKAGE_VERSION
- PACKAGE_TARNAME
- PACKAGE_STRING
- PACKAGE_BUGREPORT
- PACKAGE_URL
and appends them to the generated config.h.in files. With AC_INIT change
via afd52f9d99 where package version, URL,
bug report location and similar meta data are defined, these
preprocessor macros are then non empty strings in the generated
configuration header file. When using phpize, PHP shares the config
files in extensions, warnings of redefined macros appear, such as:
- `warning: 'PACKAGE_NAME' macro redefined`
This patch now disables these non utilized symbols in the generated
config header files.
Better practice would be to include only API specific headers where
needed but this would require even more refactorings. Some extensions
such as pcre, pgsql, and pdo_pgsql solve this issue by undefining some
of these symbols before including the library configuration headers in
the code also. Because these symbols can be defined by any library which
uses Autotools.
Additionally, the unused PACKAGE_* symbols were cleaned for the bundled
libmbfl library and with this patch not needed undef code removed.
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.
PHP_VERSION_ID
PHP_API_VERSION

I've left litespeed alone, as it seems to genuinely maintain support
for many PHP versions.
Faster than prepared statements when queries are run once. Slightly
slower than PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES but without the potential
security implications of embedding parameters in the query itself.
to true, forces the driver to use PDO's own emulated prepared statement
support.
Why would you want that, considering that native prepared statements are
supposed to be the best thing ever?
"Often postgresql will have to plan the query without knowing the parameters -
and it will choose a bad plan. In some cases it will plan based on the first
parameters you send. "
Ugh. So now we have a way to let you decide that you know better than the
pgsql query planner.
