Environment: Windiows Server 2016 + VS2017

I tried to build PHP with master branch latest revision on Windows.It failed to build due to "Zend/zend_language_parser.y:54.1-11: invalid directive: `%precedence'" This issue can be reproduced form master branch revision 63802a8 (https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/63802a8446691869371bb37078d55b99cae7eb95). Could you please help to take a look? Thanks in advance.

This means that your bison version is too old. As our AppVeyor builds are still working, maybe this is just a matter of an outdated SDK version?

You need bison 3.x.  Which version do you use?

It might be good to add a bison version check in the win32 configure. There is one for re2c version, but not bison version.

We are using bison 2.7. We will try to use 3.x. Thanks for your help.

Hmm, don't you use the PHP SDK 2[1]?
