Bug #74149 SAPI application linking to PHP static library can't call zend_signal_startup()
Submitted: 2017-02-22 15:12 UTC Modified: -
From: sathya at laufers dot net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Compile Failure
PHP Version: 7.1.2 OS: GNU/Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
A C++ SAPI application linking to PHP 7.1 compiled as static embedded SAPI library can't compile as the mandatory function "zend_signal_startup()" is not wrapped in 'extern "C" {' and therefore not accessible. This is the same issue as in "Bug #71041". I'm creating a new bug report, because Zend signals are now enabled by default and even with disabling them using "--disable-zend-signals" it doesn't work (see "additional remark"). 

Regarding the comment in the other bug report:

> The only place that this function should be called is in the SAPI layer, since all usable SAPI's are distributed with PHP, there doesn't seem to be a legitimate need to export the symbol.

I don't agree. Most people using the static embedded library to integrate PHP into their programs will stumble upon this problem.

Additional remark:

Using the configure option "--disable-zend-signals" the program compiles but crashes with signal 6 as "zend_signal_activate()" is still being called by "php_request_startup()" - but with uninitialized variables:

#0  0x00007f25f672f428 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:54

Test script:
---------------
<?php
//Not applicable
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Successful linking of PHP 7.1 static embedded library.

Actual result:
--------------
Error during linking:
