Description:
------------
Starting in PHP 5.3.0, php no longer includes the shebang when 
calculating the __COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__.

Reproduce code:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
printf("__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__ is %d\n",__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__);


__halt_compiler();


Expected result:
----------------

-=[~]=- -=[Wed Jul 15]=- -=[13:37:38]=-
[adam@nighe]$ php test.php 
__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__ is 94

-=[~]=- -=[Wed Jul 15]=- -=[13:37:39]=-
[adam@nighe]$ php-stock test.php
__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__ is 109


The latter answer in this case is correct, the shebang from the above 
example is exactly 15 bytes with the newline, 109-15 == 94. So PHP is 
not including the shebang in the __COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__ calculation.

Actual result:
--------------
94!

Scott, you worked on the re2c switch, any chance you can clarrify this one?
 [2009-08-03 03:06 UTC] scottmac@php.net
The sapi/cli/php_cli.c code will read forward when it see's a shebang  to the next line. The file is already seeked by the time the scanner gets a change to look at it.

The zend_get_scanned_file_offset() doesn't know about this because by the time the scanner is started the bytes are already long gone.

Short of a global variable I'm not seeing a clean way to fix this.
 [2009-08-30 22:56 UTC] adam-phpbugs at adam dot gs
Understandably this might be a bit hackish to have use a global variable 
here, but perhaps thats preferable to what i'd consider a major 
regression?

I attempted to patch this so I could just submit a patch here, but 
unfortunately my c-fu and my understanding of PHP internals is lacking.

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

  http://windows.php.net/snapshots/

Since the shebang check was removed from scanner, isn't this issue 
solved then? (please try :)
 [2009-09-09 20:02 UTC] jani@php.net
Nevermind, of course it's still borked since the check is NOT done in 
scanner. :)
 [2010-05-26 11:32 UTC] daniel dot haas at cn-consult dot eu
We also hit this bug, because we have a custom php-based installer that uses __halt_compiler() and __COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__ to extract a tar.gz portion of the installer.
Since PHP 5.3 our installers do not work anymore! :-(
Is a fix not even planned at this stage??

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Hi felipe,
Thanks for taking a look at this bug, its languished for (what i'd consider) far 
too long.

Log: - Reverted fix for bug #48930 (due binary compatibility breakage)
 [2010-06-29 13:54 UTC] felipe@php.net
The fix has been reverted for 5.3 branch because it breaks binary compatibility.
 [2010-06-29 18:44 UTC] adam-phpbugs at adam dot gs
Thats awesome....
 [2010-06-29 18:44 UTC] adam-phpbugs at adam dot gs
Can you fix the status of this bug then, its not closed nor is it resolved.
 [2010-06-29 19:40 UTC] rasmus@php.net
It is fixed in trunk, so technically it has been fixed.  It may be a "Can't Fix" 
for 5.3 if Felipe can't find a way to fix it without breaking binary compatibility 
in a minor release version.
