In order to rename safer, we do the following:
- set umask to 077 (unfortunately, not TS, so excluding ZTS)
- chown() first, to set proper group before allowing group access
- chmod() after, even if chown() fails
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 snprintf function is part of the C99 standard and newer systems in
most cases all support it as defined in the standard. However, some old
Windows and HP-UX systems the function behaves differently. These checks
were also removed and PHP now uses a replacement for the snprintf
function. With gradual transition to C99 usage as a minimum requirement,
it will also be able to be replaced to system's snprintf function
directly.
Additionally in this context the unused HAVE_VSNPRINTF and check for
vsnprintf have been removed. PHP uses its own vsnprintf implementation
for now until more reliable C99 compliant function can be used from the
C libraries.
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.
This patch follows previous license year ranges updates. With new
approach source code files now have simplified headers with license
information without year ranges.
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.
