[PHP-INTERNALS] Bison 3 support for PHP 5.5

If we want to fix this up for PHP 5.5, I think I see a way, and it’ll be super-hackish, but I think I can make it work. Basically, where necessary, the six functions affected (zendlex, zendparse, zenderror, ini_lex, ini_parse, and ini_error) would be given new names, and the old names would be wrapper functions with the old ABI that call-through (and either pass in NULL or TSRM_LS as appropriate). PHP internally would call the new names; the only names/wrapper functions would be there for ABI compatibility only.

If that sounds reasonable, I’ll go ahead and give that a try, and if it works, we can merge that implementation into 5.5 and 5.6, and then I can revert the really hacky bits in the 5.6 branch since they’re not necessary because we can change the ABI.


Two notes:

At the least, I need to update the 5.6 version of the PR to account for that zenderror is exported as phperror, and the definition in main/php.h is wrong. (I think; following the macros is a bit confusing.) I’ll take care of that later tonight.

I’d also suggest that perhaps in >= 5.6, those functions shouldn’t even be exported as part of the public API. In php-src, they’re basically treated as internal implementation details. zenderror and zendlex are only ever called directly from the parser, and zendparse is only ever called directly from the compile_(file|filename) functions in the scanner. (That doesn’t mean they aren’t called from external modules, but there’s a lot of setup and teardown you have to do besides, so it’d certainly be a quite advanced use. Does anyone know if those functions actually are used by pecl or other third-party modules?)
