#50496 [Asn->Csd]: Use of <stdbool.h> is valid only in a c99 compilation environment.

ID: 50496 Updated by: srinatar@php.net Reported By: alexander at skwar dot name -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Solaris 10, Sparc PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2009-12-16 (snap) Assigned To: srinatar New Comment: on other platforms like HP-UX and AIX as well as gcc, these types (bool, true,false) are defined by simply including the header file. these platforms do not require c99 standard to be defined as pre-requisite to define these macros. at this moment, this seems to be solaris sun studio compiler only issue.

If the header is only available in c99 and c99 can have bad side effects, why not define manually on Solaris what is necessary for the code to work and be done with this problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-16 20:50:29] srinatar@php.net [ see also bug #50497 ] thanks for taking time to report this issue. the fix for this issue is now integrated. mean while, your suggested work around (export CFLAGS=- xc99=all) should be acceptable. - Sriram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-16 20:49:08] svn@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of srinatar Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=292222 Log: - Fixed bug #50496 (Use of <stdbool.h> is valid only in a c99 compilation environment.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-16 20:45:51] johannes@php.net This is changing it globally, no? - Might this have negative effects (I don't know if C99 breaks C89 code in anyway, while in general I'd like to move to C99 due to the types and some other stuff it offers) And might we have trouble with other non-gcc platforms? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
