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.
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.
vs(tr)pprintf is now implemented in Zend on top of
printf_to_smart_str(int), which is provided as a utility function.
This allows us to efficiently printf to the end of a smart string.
It's annoying that in Zend you have to use zend_strpprintf instead
of strpprintf, while in PHP you have to use strpprintf instead of
zend_strpprintf.
Make zend_s(tr)pprintf always available and keep s(tr)pprintf as
macro aliases.
