In java.c, in the latest PHP 4.01pl2 source, there are several lines of the form:

(pval*)(long)result = object;

One example is on line 349.

This is a violation of the ANSI C standard, which explicitly
states, in section A7.5 (Casts),

"An expression with a cast is not an lvalue."

This fails on Solaris 2.7, and my brother has reported seeing it on AIX as well (though I don't know the version).

The fix is simple: cast object, not result:

result = (jlong)object;

This bug is on lines 349, 370 and 406.

I've verified that the suggested fix works on Windows, once I verify that it works on Linux, I'll commit it.

Fixed - Thanks!

Note: in order to compile without warning on gcc, I had to change the code to do the following:

  result = (jlong)(long)object;
