Re: Why zend_language_scanner_cc.cc instead of zend_language_scanner.c?

This should be fixed in the latest CVS (the istdiostream issue) Zeev At 23:42 26/12/2000, Alex Akilov wrote:

Bill, First off, happy holidays. Second, I got around this particular problem by adding "-Dinline= " to CFLAGS and setting CXX=xlC_r. Third, and unfortunately, the next problem I hit seems like more of a challenge to me. This problem was reported in bug 6626 by someone trying to compile with Sun's compiler but that bug was closed without a resolution. The problem is that some of the Zend code depends heavily on the istream and istdiostream classes/includes which are not implemented by the IBM C compiler. The closest thing to it are iostream.h and stdiostream.h (the latter implements the stdiostream class which is somewhat similar to istdiostream but not identical). I suspect that with the proper ifdefs this could be corrected but I wonder if it's worth the trouble or if it would be better for IBM C to add the istream implementation (not sure, but it might be ANSI?) I also noticed that the zend_language_scanner.c file attempts to define the istdiostream class in-line if it's not found. Perhaps this should be done in zend_ini_scanner as well (or some other central place?) which is where I seem to be hitting the problem. I'm attempting to mess around with this right now but I'm guessing in the dark so I think it might be better to let the Zend guys look at it. Perhaps a better avenue for us to pursue would be to try and get gcc working on the AIX machine. Probably will need to upgrade pthreads (among other things) but it might end up being easier in the long run. That is, unless you think it's important to be able to compile PHP with IBM C. It might also be worthwhile to upgrade the AIX level to at least 4.3.3 so that we can install Java 2.
