#50497 [NEW]: php 5.3.2 requires ANSI C99 compliant compiler

From: srinatar@php.net Operating system: linux, solaris PHP version: 5.3SVN-2009-12-16 (SVN) PHP Bug Type: *Compile Issues Bug description: php 5.3.2 requires ANSI C99 compliant compiler Description: ------------ php 5.3.x requires ANSIC 99 compliant complier options. php configure options can check for this and enable this option accordingly Reproduce code: --------------- if we try compile php 5.3.x on gcc 2.96 or other compilers which do not enable ansi c 99 standard and its extensions by default, php build will fail. this is because php now includes such extensions internally. for example, within configure.in , we could add the following macro AC_PROG_CC_C99 to ensure that the compiler can support ansi c 99 standard. (need to check if this macro is available in autoconf 2.13 - the officially supported macro for php 5.3) Expected result: ---------------- build passes successfully or fails at the configure state Actual result: -------------- configure passes successfully and fails while compiling some programs causing confusion to the customers -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50497&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50497&r=mysqlcfg
