Update gen_stubs.php to generate C enums from internal enums, when the stub is annotated with @generate-c-enums. Enum values can be compared to the result of zend_enum_fetch_case_id(zend_object*).
The generated enums are added to separate files named {$extensionName}_decl.h, so that it's possible to include these from anywhere. _arginfo.h files would generate warnings if we tried to include them in a compilation unit that doesn't call the register_{$class} functions, for instance.
Introduce Z_PARAM_ENUM().
* Make ZEND_AST_CONST_ENUM_INIT a 4-children node
* Store enum case id in ZEND_AST_CONST_ENUM_INIT
* Store enum case id in instance
* Expose enum case_id internally
* Generate C enum for internal enums
* Introduce Z_PARAM_ENUM()
* Port extensions
The bcmath library
This is a fork of the bcmath library initially created by Phil Nelson in May 2000.
Bcmath is a library of arbitrary precision math routines. These routines, in a different form, are the routines that to the arbitrary precision calculations for GNU bc and GNU dc.
This library is provided to make these routines useful in a larger context with less restrictions on the use of them.
These routines do not duplicate functionality of the GNU gmp library. The gmp library is similar, but the actual computation is different.
Initial library (version 0.1) has been created in 2000-05-21 and then forked and bundled into PHP with version 0.2 released in 2000-06-07.

Why BCMATH?
The math routines of GNU bc become more generally useful in a library form. By separating the BCMATH library from GNU bc, GNU bc can be under the GPL and BCMATH can be under the LGPL.

Why BCMATH when GMP exists?
GMP has "integers" (no digits after a decimal), "rational numbers" (stored as 2 integers) and "floats". None of these will correctly represent a POSIX BC number. Floats are the closest, but will not behave correctly for many computations. For example, BC numbers have a "scale" that represent the number of digits to represent after the decimal point. The multiplying two of these numbers requires one to calculate an exact number of digits after the decimal point regardless of the number of digits in the integer part. GMP floats have a "fixed, but arbitrary" mantissa and so multiplying two floats will end up dropping digits BC must calculate.
