Status: Closed Package: Compile Failure

Description:
------------
using gcc on AIX. Compilation failure due to BOOL not being defined?

Probably due to the ifndef check at ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_internal.h:565:

#ifndef FALSE
typedef int BOOL;

#define FALSE   0
#define TRUE    1
#endif

I supposed FALSE is already defined (but apparently not BOOL), and hence compilation fails.

Perhaps two checks instead would fix this? Something like:

#ifndef BOOL
typedef int BOOL;
#endif

#ifndef FALSE
#define FALSE   0
#define TRUE    1
#endif

Best regards,
Bj?rn

"Perhaps" ?? Why don't you TRY it? And if it works -> send us a 
patch.

This really needs to go upstream to http://bugs.exim.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=PCRE

We can fix it as well though.
 [2008-09-16 11:29 UTC] Bjorn dot Wiberg at its dot uu dot se 
Will you report this upstream?
And apply the fix in the meantime?

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Björn

Hi again!

It seems that my patch has not (yet?) been included with php5.3-200809290430. Will it be, or are you expecting the PCRE developers to release a fix and include that with PHP 5.3 instead? Should this bug really be closed until this has been resolved?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Bj?rn
 [2008-09-29 18:35 UTC] nlopess@php.net 
we will fix it when upstream developers fix it. In general we do not patch bundled libraries for non-critical issues (i.e. security bugs).
 [2008-12-05 09:45 UTC] Bjorn dot Wiberg at its dot uu dot se 
Just to let you know that this now also happens in PHP 5.2.7 as the PCRE library has been updated (but no patch upstream?).
 [2009-03-01 08:54 UTC] Bjorn dot Wiberg at its dot uu dot se 
Bug fixed in PCRE (head?) now:
