Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81238&edit=1 ID: 81238 Patch added by: trowski@php.net Reported by: rainer dot jung at kippdata dot de Summary: PHP 8.1: fiber support missing for Solaris Sparc, configure fails Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: Solaris 10 Sparc PHP Version: 8.1.0alpha3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The following pull request has been associated: Patch Name: Fiber ucontext support On GitHub: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/7226 Patch: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/7226.patch Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-07-09 08:44:17] rainer dot jung at kippdata dot de Description: ------------ configure for PHP 8.1 fails on Solaris 10 Sparc with: checking for fiber switching context... configure: error: Unable to determine platform! It seems to imported assembler files from Boost context doe not contain support for Sparc Solaris 10. The sparc architecture is listen under https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_76_0/libs/context/doc/html/context/architectures.html but the OS Solaris is not part of the table. Since it supports ucontext_t, the comment below the table should apply: "If the architecture is not supported but the platform provides ucontext_t, Boost.Context should be compiled with BOOST_USE_UCONTEXT and b2 property context-impl=ucontext." Solaris does support ucontext_t (see "man setcontext"), so it would be nice, if PHP fibers would support this fallbacl mechanism as well. Yes, there are warnings, that such fibers will be slow, but currently, due to the configure failure, there is no more Solaris 10 Sparc support for PHP 8.1 at all. Another option would be to make fibers optional. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81238&edit=1
