Fails to Compile with PHP 8 includes (changed prototype for "zend_prepare_string_for_scanning()")

[TurtleWilly]

It looks like between PHP 7 and PHP 8 the return code of zend_prepare_string_for_scanning() was changed from "int" to "void", see includes/php/Zend/zend_language_scanner.h for the respective installation.

PHP 7: ZEND_API int zend_prepare_string_for_scanning(zval *str, char *filename);
PHP 8: ZEND_API void zend_prepare_string_for_scanning(zval *str, zend_string *filename);

Naturally this breaks compilation with the following construct in the php-ast code base. It also triggers some warnings for the filename type.

if (zend_prepare_string_for_scanning(&code_zv, filename) == SUCCESS) {
		…
		}

Or rather… how about a new release? 😱 I guess 1.0.4 is a bit outdated.
