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.
skeleton can still be leveraged with older PHP releases, including
PHP 7.2.
I wanted to add this capability since PHP 7.2 is still widely provided
with most Linux distributions.
I am using ext_skel.php on a vanilla Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows
in order to illustrate how to develop a PHP extension for both
OS using the default tools provided by the distributions.

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.

It no longer includes a way to generate XML documentation (the PHP documentation utilities already got tools for that in svn under phpdoc/doc-base) and it no longer support function stubs.
$ php ext_skel.php --help
php ext_skel.php --ext=<name> [--experimental] [--author=<name>]
[--dir=<path>] [--std] [--onlyunix]
[--onlywindows] [--help]
--ext=<name> The name of the extension defined as <name>
--experimental Passed if this extension is experimental, this creates
the EXPERIMENTAL file in the root of the extension
--author=<name> Your name, this is used if --header is passed and
for the CREDITS file
--dir=<path> Path to the directory for where extension should be
created. Defaults to the directory of where this script
lives
--std If passed, the standard header and vim rules footer used
in extensions that is included in the core, will be used
--onlyunix Only generate configure scripts for Unix
--onlywindows Only generate configure scripts for Windows
--help This help
Example usage:
$ php ext_skel.php --ext test --std --experimental
$ php ext_skel.php --ext kalle --author "Kalle Sommer Nielsen"
$ php ext_skel.php --ext phpfi --dir "/home/kalle/dev/" --onlyunix
- .svnignore ->.gitignore
- Add .gitignore entries for DSO stand-alone builds stuff
- Docs don't use CVS but SVN
- reorder extname.c file so it needs less forward declarations
- take forward declarations out of php_extname.h
- Drop #if for 12 years old PHP version compatibility
