openssl 0.9.8 in July 2005 first added pkg-config support, which is
earlier than the minimum supported version for php. This should
therefore be uiversally supported.
The AC_CHECK_FILE macro is designed to emit a warning about possible
cross compiling issues if file is not present on the target system.
Since the generated PHP lexer file is part of the build files and not
target system this can be simplified by a usual shell check with
`test -f` instead as in other usages.
To make installation experience better instead of only outputting
warning when re2c is not present this patch also exits if the PHP lexer
file(s) were not generated yet and re2c is not present on the system.
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.

ICU 59 already requires C++11 by default. The minimum version required
by the core is 50, which is compiled with at least C++11 in many distros
as package defs tell. Headers for ICU versions between ICU 50 and 58 look
fine when included for C++11 compilation, the linking is thereof not affected.
The macro PHP_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX is based on
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.html
The patch consists on allowing to read the corresponding switch in a user
defined variable instead of enforcing CXXFLAGS globally. That way, every
ext or SAPI can decide, which C++ standard is to be used. The
documentation is provided in the m4 file.
C++11 is already somewhat older standard, C++14 were better. However
issues with GCC < 5.0 and some other compilers are possibly to hit back.
Still there's some time to check for C++14 for ext/intl, too. Having said
that, C++11 in ext/intl and a mechanism to determine features is a good step
towards better C++ support.
Given that ICU is a set of lively developed libraries, that ICU 50.1
has been released on 2012-11-05, and PHP 7.4 is scheduled to be
released seven years after it, we consider it appropriate to ditch
these legacy versions.
Particularly, that would be a reasonable groundwork to implement part
two of the “Deprecate and remove INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003” RFC[1], namely
to default idn_to_ascii()'s and idn_to_utf8()'s $variant parameter to
INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46, which is not defined in ICU < 4.6.

We work around a strlen() optimization bug in GCC 8[1] by checking
whether the used GCC exhibits the broken behavior, and if so by
disabling `optimize-strlen`.

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_STRUCT_TM`.
This macro checks if `struct tm` is defined in either `<sys/time.h>` or
`<time.h>` and defines the `TM_IN_SYS_TIME` symbol accordingly. This
check was relevant in times before the C89 for some embedded systems,
microcontrollers or very old systems. For newer systems it can be
avoided and the `<time.h>` should be included instead since current
systems should be well supported by now. [2]
Since PHP requires at least C89, this patch removes the obsolescent call
and time.h checks.

Autoconf 2.50 released in 2001 made several macros obsolete including
the AC_TRY_RUN, AC_TRY_COMPILE and AC_TRY_LINK:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/tree/ChangeLog.2
These macros should be replaced with the current AC_FOO_IFELSE instead:
- AC_TRY_RUN with AC_RUN_IFELSE and AC_LANG_SOURCE
- AC_TRY_LINK with AC_LINK_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM
- AC_TRY_COMPILE with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM
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 therefore systems
should be well supported by now.

Autoconf 2.50 made several changes to macro calls. These include also
arguments passed to AC_OUTPUT macro. The upgrading chapter in Autoconf
documentation include an example of using AC_OUTPUT with
AC_CONFIG_FILES and AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS:

PHP 5.4 to 7.1 require Autoconf 2.59+, PHP 7.2+ require Autoconf 2.64+,
and PHP 7.2 phpize script requires Autoconf 2.59+ which are all greater
than above mentioned 2.50 version. Systems out there should well support
this by now.

Since PHP 5.3 flex lexer has been replaced with re2c. Commit
0f9e2b1753 made PHP_PROG_LEX macro still
available for BC.
In commit df6bd506d4 it was updated. Since
this macro is entirely not used in PHP source code anymore from PHP 5.3
and up, this patch removes it together with some old traces of warnings
suppression and comments.
Some editors utilizing .editorconfig automatically trim whitespaces. For
convenience this patch removes whitespaces in certain build files:
- ext/*/config*.m4
- configure.ac
- acinclude.m4
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.
Additionally, ICU >= 59.1 requires C++11, so add the flags. Some
refactoring is needed to comply with the latest recommended build
options, such as automatic icu namespace addition.
As described in bug report #75722, the configure script (acinclude.m4)
currently searches for the valgrind header file and enables valgrind
support if found.
When cross-compiling the searched paths are invalid for the target
platform because they belong to the host system. At the moment, there is
no way to tell the build system a dedicated path where to look for the
header file.
This leads to the issue, that when cross-compiling eg. for ARMv5 platform,
that valgrind header file is detected - e.g. because host system is amd64 -
and support is enabled - but target platform will never support valgrind
(valgrind requires e.g. at least ARMv7).
This change reworks the detection so that user could manually opt-in
valgrind support and optionally specify a directory where the build system
should look for the header file using the --with-valgrind option.
