 New Comment:

I had a poblem with this patch in debian/ubuntu packages.

With this patch the build with --enable-maintainer-zts the ubuntu 
php5_5.3.2-1ubuntu4.7 package.

The problem seems to comes from #if used instead of #ifdef and
incorrectly 
defined strings by your patch.

Here is the build log :

Hi Pierre,

had a time to review this patch and provide a detailed explanation?

Not sure I agree with these changes, they are not supposed to be valid.
I don't have the time now to reply with a detailed explanation but we
will do it asap.

Hi, if you apply my patch, you'll need to apply the
fix_crypt_unit_tests.patch, 
since I have fixed some routines, which you checked in those unit
tests.

1. if you use '_' as a first character of the salt, but the salt is not
9 
characters long => STD_DES is used.

2. if you use 00-03 or 32-39 as count in blowfish => STD_DES is used (as

documented).

Description:
------------
Attached patch changes crypt.c and accompanying m4 code so it selects
only 
algorithms not supported by system library crypt() for candidates to use
internal 
implementation of crypt().

It also unifies the code to one style (BF and MD5 used static output
buffer, 
sha256,512 allocated the buffer dynamically, etc.), so it's easier to
read and 
understand, which is needed due all #if statements there.

Next it fixes some glitches in m4 code.

Expected result:
----------------
Use internal implementation only for missing or buggy support for
algorithm in 
system library crypt() function.

Actual result:
--------------
Internal implementation of crypt() is always selected and used(), when
BF or 
EXT_DES is missing.  (Note that due misplaced check for HAVE_CRYPT_R, it
will be 
used even if BF and EXT_DES is present in the system.)
