ID: 62651 User updated by: carlo dot pastorino at neologica dot it Reported by: carlo dot pastorino at neologica dot it Summary: Extensions out of PHP source tree does not build anymore (link problem) -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.4.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you "cataphract" that solved the issue !! ;-) I was actually including only "php.h" and changing that to: extern "C" { #include "php.h" } did the trick. I'm however quite confused, this same #include worked well for php5.3 without the "extern" thing. I took a look at, for example, "zend.h" header and I saw that all the declaration marked as ZEND_API are also wrapped by the "BEGIN_EXTERN_C()" and "END_EXTERN_C()" macros, but, inside the header "zend_string.h" which is the one causing me this link problem, all the ZEND_API declaration are not wrapped by those 2 macros. Is there some particular reason for this ? I also found that, now that you've enlightened me, another solution to my problem is to wrap those function in the zend_string.h like this: BEGIN_EXTERN_C() // was missing previosly ZEND_API extern const char *(*zend_new_interned_string)(const char *str, int len, int free_src TSRMLS_DC); ZEND_API extern void (*zend_interned_strings_snapshot)(TSRMLS_D); ZEND_API extern void (*zend_interned_strings_restore)(TSRMLS_D); END_EXTERN_C() // was missing previosly But in this case I really don't know if it works by chance or if it was really meant to be like it was before. Thank you for you help! Carlo Pastorino.

Make sure you're including the PHP headers inside an extern "C" {} block. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-24 12:15:42] paj...@php.net No idea about sln, it may differ as phpize generates some data. About another test, can you try to build it with php? php-sdk\vc9\x86 |_ php-src |_ pecl |_ yourext run buildconf from php-src, then: configure <options needed> etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-24 11:48:56] carlo dot pastorino at neologica dot it Tested with phpize too and I obtained the same result. By the way the "phpize" way is simply not feasible for me/us and, if phpize makes it, Visual Studio should be able to make it too, right ?. Please find my "phpize" project here : http://www.neologica.it/test_ext_phpize.7z I must admint I never used phpize before on windows and I didn't think it was fully Windows compatible, however here is what I did (everything is provided with the 7z archive): 1] Created the "test" folder under "php_5.4/include/ext" 2] Moved my source files in this folder 3] Created the config.w32 file 4] Opened the Visual Studio 2008 command prompt and moved to this folder 5] ..\..\..\phpize.bat 6] configure.bat --enable-test (here I had to add "bison.exe" location to my "PATH" and in the configure.js file I needed to add PHP_PGI and PHP_PGO definition) 7] nmake and the result was the same as before.

Please check a build of your ext using the supported ways, phpize or to build with php to double check the actual problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-24 09:50:26] carlo dot pastorino at neologica dot it Description: ------------ I have a PHP extension which adds some "native" functions and zend classes to the PHP framework. This extension is located out of the php source tree and it is built using a Visual Studio 2008 project which should set all the preprocessor definitions and .lib needed. In order to build this extension i'm linking it to the php5ts.lib file included inside the php-devel-pack (which can be downloaded from here http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/) and, of course, including the *.h files provided with the php-devel-pack. My Visual Studio solution worked fine using php5.2 and php5.3 includes and libs but it fails the compilation using the php5.4 php-devel-pack. In particular I receive a link error: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) char const * (__cdecl* zend_new_interned_string)(char const *,int,int,void * * *)" (__imp_?zend_new_interned_string@@3P6APBDPBDHHPAPAPAX@ZA) as if that symbol were not available from the php5ts.lib file. I've generated a simpler Visual Studio solution containing ALL the files needed to build which should present the issue. The solution can be downloaded here: http://www.neologica.it/test_ext_vc9.7z The source code contains a simple php extension and a zend class declaration (Test) having a method: "sayHello". Compiling it using the configuration *_5.3 should produce the dll correctly while using the *_5.4 configuration should trigger the link error. I'm not sure if this is some unfortunate case of undeclared macro in my code / solution, or if there is something that could be done in php source. Test script: --------------- 1 - Extract the archive 2 - Open the solution with Visual Studio (2008 or 2010 is the same) 3 - Select "Release_5.4" or "Debug_5.4" from the build Solution configurations dropdown 4 - Build the extension. Expected result: ---------------- php_test.dll correctly built Actual result: -------------- error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) char const * (__cdecl* zend_new_interned_string)(char const *,int,int,void * * *)" (__imp_? zend_new_interned_string@@3P6APBDPBDHHPAPAPAX@ZA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62651&edit=1
