Wez, you added those lines for VC++ 2005 compability. Could you have a look?

I've seen this before; I think have the fix on a company laptop that is currently occupied and I'll commit it just as soon as I can get access to it again.

I have same error while trying compile my module. With previous PHP all was fine.
With 5.2.0 all fine too, if comment 2 lines at config.w32.h:
#define _USE_32BIT_TIME_T 1
#define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1

used VC++ 2005 Express Edition

This is my output when compiling a simple dll extension using the sample source code in the online documentation.

If I move this change, then the compiler errors are gone.  I still have another separate issue with compilation though.


This would induce the compile error. and if 

#include <stdio.h>

BEHIND the 

#ifdef ZEND_WIN32
# include "zend_config.w32.h"
# define ZEND_PATHS_SEPARATOR		';'
#elif defined(XXX)
...
#endif

,it will be ok.

I tried PHP5.2.2, but the problem is still there. :(

Wez, you never got to the company laptop..? Or was it stolen? :D

Trying to compile a module for PHP 5.2.3 with VC++ 2005 SP1 I also get tons of error like:

error C2466: cannot allocate an array of constant size 0

This module (eAccelerator for Windows) compiled fine with VC++ 2005 SP1 and PHP 5.2.2.

The following might explain the cause of the problem (not sure?) that was (re)introduced with 523( again my module compiles great with PHP 522 & VC++ 2005):

----------------------------------
deprecated "default to int" rule: 

Pre-standard C++ (and all C variants predating C99), use the "default to int" rule when
declarations of functions and variables do not contain an explicit datatype. 
This behavior is maintained in Visual C++ 6.0 as the following declarations show: 


const x=0; //implicit int
static num; // implicit int
myfunc(void *ptr); //implicit return type int

In Visual Studio 2005, you have to specify the datatype explicitly:
const int x=0; static int num; int myfunc(void *ptr); 
--------------------
Hope this helps...

Yeah, I have the same problem too. I recompile my extension with VS 2005 for every PHP release and I have had the problem for a while. Commenting the #define _USE_32BIT_TIME_T 1 line is not very difficult but it is a by-pass ; a more viable solution would be appreciated :)
Thanks !

hi,
I recompile eAccelerator v0.9.4(http://www.eaccelerator.net/) with the latest PHP(http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz), but the same problems are still there.

Wez, can you please check this out, it should be simple fix (for someone who actually has this VC++ thingie)

Version 5.2.5 and VS 2005. Still have this problem.

Fixed this error adding symbol _USE_32BIT_TIME_T to all projects in the Preprocessor Definitions.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows (zip):
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

For Windows (installer):

  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-installer-latest.msi

I have the exact same problem with PHP 5.2.9 and VS 2008.

We support VC6 only for 5.2.x, it may work with VS2008 (vc9) but there is no guarantee. PHP 5.3 supports 2008 out of the box.

I just came across this myself with 5.3.8. If you are an extension writer with this issue, try moving php.h to the first include of your source files.

#include <iostream>
//#include "php_test_empty.h"
#include "targetver.h"
#include "php.h"

means "cannot allocate an array of constant size 0"

DO SOMETHING FINALLY!!!!!!!11111oneone

5.2 is dead, 5.3+ only supports VC9. So no, nothing is likely to happen, sorry.
