Hi all,
while trying to understand a test failure on Tru64 I noticed that
ext/standard/parsedate.y is not reentrant. I am assuming that we do care
about this given the effort with ZTS and I care because I build Apache2
multithreaded.
I am not much of a bison expert (other than to say that bison
burgers taste very good :-), but google pointed me to the proper page of
the bison manual which gave me enough hints to allow me to rework the
parsedate.y code to be %pure_parser.
As the diff is almost bigger than the file, I am attaching
parsedate.y in case someone wants to try it on thier machine. I tried
this on tru64 and on debian and it passes the test:
ext/standard/tests/time/002.phpt
I checked this against bison-1.28 and bison-1.875.
Unless I hear otherwise, I will be submitting this (.y & .c)
tommorow into php5, and think this would be a good candidate for a MFH.
