Cannot compile with PHP 5.5

[juamedgod]

It is complaining with:

eaccelerator.c:66:23: error: php_logos.h: No such file or directory

Checking the php-5.5.0/UPGRADING:

• php_logo_guid(), php_egg_logo_guid(), php_real_logo_guid() and
  zend_logo_guid() have been removed

Same problem:
eaccelerator.c:66:23: fatal error: php_logos.h: No such file or directory

It won't work with 5.5 anyway, so just use the bundled Zend OpCache instead.

I patched it a bit with some #if statements around offending pieces of code. The #include and also calls to php_register_info_logo()

...make and make test both worked fine. Doesn't mean it's going to work with PHP5.5 I guess?

/me looks at OpCache instead.

Same issue with PHP 5.5.9, I guess I have wait for the next eAccelerator version?

[zhuanyi]

I have tried @meyerdg 's solution and even though eAccelerator compiled and installed, it does not load and php -V only shows the version number of PHP and Zend. I was using Debian 7. Could others confirm this patch actually works?

[NewEraCracker]

Of course, PHP 5.5 has changed many internals of the language and many things in eAccelerator will have to be updated.

Time to switch from eAccelerator to something else, I believe Moodle is already dropping its support for eAccelerator because slow patch/upgrade/fixes:

[NewEraCracker]

I have investigated deeply PHP opcodes and came up with the following (big) patch:
https://gist.github.com/NewEraCracker/99b4a0e8b37244765f78

This should fix this issue and #37, #36, #31, #28 (Edit: Not yet fixed), #23, #21, #16 and #12

Let me know if there is any improvement I can do.

Edited 2014/08/28: It seems PHP 5.5 is still not supported. eA randomly crashes in PHP 5.5 even with optimizer disabled. Fixing this will require more knowledge than the one I have.

[NewEraCracker]

After further investigation I modified the patch in above link with more fixes.

Two elements were added to ea_op_array structure and save/restore functions modified to use them. Optimizer is now forced to be disabled given its many bugs, this is a necessary "evil" until the bugs are fixed.

I've tested the patched version with test cases for #12 (the same as #16, #21, #23, #36), #28 and those issues go away with optimizer being forced to disabled.

PHP 5.5 is now supported.
