Bug #70781 [NEW]: Extension tests fail on dynamic ext dependency

From: francois Operating system: Linux PHP version: 7.0.0RC5 Package: Testing related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Extension tests fail on dynamic ext dependency Description: ------------ This is related to the patch introduced by Derick in 2011 (see http://grokbase.com/t/php/php-internals/11bwptaj78/run-tests-php-and-dynamic-extension-dependencies). The patch works well if dependency occurs at the PHP level. But, if there is a C-level dependency (C function call), it doesn't work because the tested extension is loaded *before* the extension it depends on (causing an 'Undefined symbol error). Test script: --------------- Clone PCS extension from https://github.com/flaupretre/pecl-pcs. Compile and install PCS go to the examples/example1 subdirectory. This is an example extension depending on PCS. phpize && ./configure && make make test -> fail, every tests are skipped -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70781&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70781&r=mysqlcfg
