PHP 4.0 Bug #9703 Updated: missing alloca-prototype in AIX

ID: 9703 User Update by: andreas@erestor.f2s.com Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Description: missing alloca-prototype in AIX The alloca.h file, I wrote, is this: #ifndef _H_ALLOCA #define _H_ALLOCA #pragma alloca #ifdef _NO_PROTO extern void *alloca(); #else /* _NO_PROTO */ #include <stdlib.h> /*size_t is defined in here*/ extern void *alloca(size_t); #endif /* _NO_PROTO */ #endif /* _H_ALLOCA */ Regards Andreas Pistoor Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-12 08:29:42] andreas@erestor.f2s.com Hi, I got this symptom by compiling PHP: xlc -I. -I/home/pistoor/php-4.0.4pl1/main -I/home/pistoor/php-4.0.4pl1/main -I/home/pistoor/php-4.0.4pl1 -I/home/pistoor/php-4.0.4pl1/Zend -I/home/pistoor/php-4.0.4pl1/ext/mysql/libmysql -I/home/pistoor/php-4.0.4pl1/ext/xml/expat/xmltok -I/home/pistoor/php-4.0.4pl1/ext/xml/expat/xmlparse -I/home/pistoor/php-4.0.4pl1/TSRM -DXML_BYTE_ORDER=21 -qsource -qshowinc -c main.c && touch main.lo "main.c", line 1181.17: 1506-068 (S) Operation between types "char*" and "int" is not allowed. "main.c", line 1250.47: 1506-280 (E) Function argument assignment between types "const unsigned char*" and "const char*" is not allowed. "main.c", line 1250.22: 1506-068 (E) Operation between types "char*" and "unsigned char*" is not allowed. I use the xlc-version of the C Set ++ for AIX compiler, as it is more ANSI-C than the cc-version. It also shows more errors. My configuration of PHP (as a CGI-program to be used by Lynx): CC=xlc ./configure --prefix=/home/pistoor/php --with-config-file-path=/home/pistoor/php --enable-debug --enable-sigchild --enable-calendar --enable-ftp --enable-trans-sid --enable-shmop --with-regex=php --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-wddx --enable-yp I found, that the prototype of alloca was missing. It is not in any file in /usr/include at my computer. This causes the warning in line 1181. So I wrote the prototype myself into a headerfile alloca.h, edited (again) config.cache and rerun configure. The errors on line 1250 were caused by the mix of char and unsigned char at the call to php_base64_decode. I inserted type casts there.
