Description:
------------
php_radius.dll compiles fine for PHP 5.5 VC11 x86. However, under VC11 x64 it fails with

error C2371: 'SSIZE_T': redefinition; different basic types

You can fix this by surrounding 'typedef long ssize_t;' with a ifndef, like this

#ifndef ssize_t
typedef long ssize_t;
#endif

I did not test if it works, but you can find compiled x64 versions here (as soon as I have updated all my builds):

Test script:
---------------

Compiling fails

I'm leery of this because it's going to fail if ssize_t is a mere typedef and not 
#define'd, and I don't think there's any spec that says it has to be visible to 
the preprocessor.

Let me see if I can figure out enough of config.w32 to come up with a more robust 
test.

I also looked a little bit further. As far as I can see ssize_t is always defined when compiling PHP for windows. See line 137 of
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/win32/build/config.w32.h.in#L137

As soon as you configure PHP, this line gets copied to main/config.w32.h and will be included.

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22%23define+ssize_t+SSIZE_T%22 shows there have been more people struggling with this.

You could probably leave the line out or use
#define ssize_t SSIZE_T

I compiled php_radius.dll under X64 and X86 with this line without any problems.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Yeah, I was looking at this concurrently and came to the same conclusion — that 
#define has been in PHP since 4.3, so I think we're good to just drop the typedef 
completely at this point.

Thanks for looking into this further!
