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.
This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final
newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines.
According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.
C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."
Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

Since Autoconf 2.50+ macro AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS defines the new
HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLOCKS symbol and has deprecated the previous
HAVE_ST_BLOCKS.
PHP 5.3 required Autoconf 2.13 (released in 1999) or newer, since PHP
5.4 the autoconf 2.59 (released in 2003) or newer was required, and
since PHP 7.2, autoconf 2.64 (released in 2008) or newer is required.
Autoconf 2.50 released in 2001 has made several macros obsolete. Instead
of the AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE and AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV the new
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS should be used.
When checking for the presence of stat struct members st_blkzize and
st_rdev the new AC_CHECK_MEMBERS macro defines new constants
HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLKSIZE and HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV.
Old constants HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE and HAVE_ST_RDEV need to be replaced
respectively in PHP code (this patch) and in PHP extenstions if they use
them.
PHP 5.4 to 7.1 require Autoconf 2.59+ version, PHP 7.2 and above require
2.64+ version, and the PHP 7.2 phpize script requires 2.59+ version which
are all greater than above mentioned 2.50 version.
The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.
This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.
Preventing integer overflows in principle, which allows to avoid additional
range checks. The phar format is based on 32-bit lengths, so the storage
sizes was kept same.
Primarily related to the path handling datatypes, to avoid unnecessary
casts, where possible. Also some rework to avoid code dup. Probably
more places are to go, even not path related, primarily to have less
casts and unsigned integers where possible. That way, we've not only
less warnings and casts, but are also safer with regard to the
integer overflows. OFC it's not a panacea, but still significantly
reduces the vulnerability potential.
If this does not break the Unix system somehow, I'll be amazed. This should get most of it out, apologies for any errors this may cause on non-Windows ends which I cannot test atm.
