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:
---------------
N/A

Expected result:
----------------
A VC11 x64 php_radius.dll

Actual result:
--------------
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.

will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

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!
