We are experiencing an issue when building PHP with DTrace enabled with
SystemTap (see GH-11847).† The issue is caused by inappropriate use C
preprocessor detected by GNU Autoconf in our “configure” script. C
preprocessor configuration found by AC_PROG_CPP macro is portable only
to run on files with “.c” extension.‡ However, statically-defined tracing
is described by D programs with “.d” extension which causes the issue.
We experience this even on typical Linux distribution with GNU Compiler
Collection (GCC) unless we override the defaults detected by our
“configure” script.
Many major Linux distributions use SystemTap to provide “dtrace”
utility. It relies on both external C preprocessor and external C
compiler. C preprocessor can be customized via CPP environment variable.
Similarly, C compiler can be customized via CC environment variable. It
also allows customization of C compiler flags via CFLAGS environment
variable. We have recently aligned both CPP and CC environment variable
with C preprocessor and C compiler we use to build regular C source code
as provided by our “configure” script (see GH-11643).* We wanted to
allow cross-compilation on Linux for which this was the only blocker. C
compiler flags from CFLAGS_CLEAN macro have already been in place since
versions 5.4.20 and 5.5.4 from 2013-09-18.
We had modified all “dtrace” invocations in the same way to make it look
consistent. However, only the C compiler (CC environment variable) is
necessary to for cross-compilation. There have never been any reported
issue with the C preprocessor. We acknowledge it would be great to allow
C preprocessor customization as well. However, the implementation would
require a lot of effort to do correctly given the limitations of
AC_PROG_CPP macro from GNU Autoconf. This would be further complicated
by the fact that all DTrace implementations, not just SystemTap, allow C
preprocessor customization but Oracle DTrace, Open DTrace, and their
forks do it differently. Nevertheless, they all default to “cpp” utility
and they all have or had been working fine. Therefore, we believe simply
removing CPP stabilizes “dtrace” invocation on Linux systems with
SystemTap and aligns it with other system configurations on other
platforms, until someone comes with complete solution with custom “m4”
and “make” macros, while our build system on Linux with SystemTap
supports cross-compilation.

Hopefully, intermittent test failures will be fixed by creating and using a separate database.
Furthermore, more meaningful test cases are added which also assert the output, as well as wildcard character based searching.
This change makes checked and opened file consistent in a way that it is
using real path for stat operation in the same way like it is used for
open.
Closes GH-12067
This changes memory stream to allow seeking past end which makes it the
same as seeking on files. It means the position is allowed to be higher
than the string length. The size only increases if data is appended to
the past position. The space between the previous string and position
is filled with zero bytes.
Fixes GH-9441
Closes GH-12058
This PR introduces a new way of recursion protection in JSON, var_dump
and friends. It fixes issue in master for __debugInfo and also improves
perf for jsonSerializable in some cases. More info can be found in
GH-10020.
Closes GH-11812
As reported in GH-12024, the test fails in the encoding part of the test
file. This is due to a libxml2 bug (that's been fixed in modern
versions, but of course various systems and distros are always behind).
The goal of this part of the test is to check if an encoding declaration
is outputted. So the actual encoding used doesn't matter.
Switch to UTF-8, which seems to always work, to work around the issue.
* Zend: Make zend_strnlen available for use outside zend_compile
* exif: remove local php_strnlen, use zend_strnlen instead
* main: remove local strnlen, use zend_strnlen instead
* phar: remove local strnlen, use zend_strnlen
This syncs the style of the --enable-mysqlnd-compression-support option
name, otherwise in Autoconf both --enable-foo_bar and --enable-foo-bar
work.
Also the configure output message is synced to match the check
information.
Because the failure path did not release the string, there was a memory
leak.
As the only valid types for this function are IS_NULL and IS_STRING, we
and IS_NULL is always rejected in practice, solve the issue by not using
a function that increments the refcount in the first place.
Closes GH-12002.
NetBSD still adopts the old iconv signature for buffer inputs.
The next release will too so we can assume it will remain that way for
a while.
