Subject: swig: PHP generation is broken with -zts enabled (and it is now the default

Package: swig
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable

  with zts enabled, any PHP generation generates a lot of errors. in
fact, any PHP bindings generated by SWIG now FTBFS with such errors :

  foo.c|####| error: `tsrm_ls' undeclared (first use in this function) ...
  foo.c|####| error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

  the problem is know upstreams (like said here [1]), but they don't
seem very hasty in fixing it.

  Since this break all the packages generated by SWIG in debian, this is
at least grave, and should really be fixed. (I'm sorry, I've not enough
php internals knowledge to help you on that).

  you can read #294003 [2] that is an example of php binding generated
by swig that is now broken.

Come on, you must be kidding.

1) the problem is already known and you are even referencing that other
   bug report
2) this breaks only php wrappers generated by swig. Given that swig can
   generate wrappers for 15 other languages I'd hardly agree that this
   makes the package unusable. For example the subversion bindings for
   perl and python are generated using this swig and are working just
   fine.

Yes, I reported it.

No, they don't have the knowledge of PHP.

This is false.

So this is false as well.

Me neither.

That's interesting, I did not know of any package using swig to generate
PHP bindings. I'll try to find a way to fix this. Steve Langasek already
offered his help as well.

We avoided the -zts breakage

[John Lenz (lenz)]

I would just add a warning to SWIG, so that if it is run with the -php
argument it outputs a warning like "PHP wrapper support is currently broken
with Debian. Please see Sourceforge bug whatever (provide a link maybe
too)".

I would also say since it is only a problem with threading if a user really
needed to use SWIG on something, they could recompile apache and recompile
php themselves and then still use the SWIG that would be in debian, just
ignoring the error.

Thus this SWIG package is usable, even from a php standpoint. Lastly, not
very many people use SWIG for php... php doesn't even support multiple
modules sharing type information (%import).

For all I know this problem was fixed upstream. I don't have any php
with ZTS enabled here now but I assume the reports are right and
therefore close this bug in the hopes that it will be reported again
should the problem show up.
