FPM doesn't support Windows so it can require VLA support. I have no issue with with trace and stdio changes but not sure if we want to put procs on heap atm. Will think about but it's a low priority. |
According to @cmb69, PHP does not require VLA support (php#10304 (comment)). VLAs are a bad idea for several reasons, so let's get rid of them. Two of the VLAs were probably unintended; unlike C++, C doesn't have the concept of "constant expressions", so an array with a "const" length is technically still a VLA. This is fixed by removing the "const" variable, and using sizeof() instead.

OK, I removed the fpm_status.c change and will resubmit it later in a new PR, so the fixes for the two accidental VLAs can be merged now. |
