GCC bails a bit on char*/const char* differences in apc_string.c:

apc_new_interned_string() seems to have been created to copy arKey members of a Bucket. arKey is defined as a const char* in PHP 5.4:


typedef struct bucket {
	ulong h;						/* Used for numeric indexing */
	uint nKeyLength;
	void *pData;
	void *pDataPtr;
	struct bucket *pListNext;
	struct bucket *pListLast;
	struct bucket *pNext;
	struct bucket *pLast;
	const char *arKey;
} Bucket;

In PHP 5.3 there is no const qualifier for arKey:

     53 
     54 typedef struct bucket {
     55 	ulong h;						/* Used for numeric indexing */
     56 	uint nKeyLength;
     57 	void *pData;
     58 	void *pDataPtr;
     59 	struct bucket *pListNext;
     60 	struct bucket *pListLast;
     61 	struct bucket *pNext;
     62 	struct bucket *pLast;
     63 	char arKey[1]; /* Must be last element */
     64 } Bucket;


Please, update APC to avoid the compiler warnings. For example, change the apc_new_interned_string() signature in 5.4 to:

const char *apc_new_interned_string(const char *arKey, int nKeyLength TSRMLS_DC)






Test script:
---------------
./configure  --enable-apc --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-zts
