When writing a PHP extension, this documentation page indicates that a config.m4 file should be provided for autoconf to use. It gives a couple of examples of such files, but the documentation is incomplete. For example, the example file uses the macro PHP_EVAL_INCLINE, but it isn't mentioned in the documentation that follows it.
So, what PHP-specific macros are available to use in the config.m4 file, and what do they do? Is there any comprehensive documentation for writing those files?
I wasn't able to find any such list on the internet.
However, we can just parse the acinclude.m4, where all those macros are defined.
The acinclude.m4 can be found in the root directory of any PHP source tarball, as well as in lib/php/build of any PHP installation.
Macros are declared using the AC_DEFUN([name], [replacement]) macro.
It is usually preceded by one or more comment line(s), starting with dnl, which act as a rudimentary documentation.
I wrote the following script to parse each function declaration into name, usage and description:
$funcs = [];
$matches = [];
// Scan for "AC_DEFUN([FUNCTION_NAME_HERE]..." because those are function declarations,
// and all preceding lines starting with "dbl" because those are comments, probably including documentation
preg_match_all('#((?:dnl(?: .*)?\\n)*)AC_DEFUN\\(\\[(\\w+)\\]#', file_get_contents('acinclude.m4'), $matches);
// $matches[1][$i] contains all lines starting with "dbl"
// $matches[2][$i] contains the function name
for($i = 0; $i < count($matches[1]); $i++)
{
$name = $matches[2][$i];
$func =
[
'usage' => '',
'description' => ''
];
$beginning = TRUE;
// Process each comment line
// Since comments can, but don't have to include usage information, we try to filter it out.
foreach(explode("\n", $matches[1][$i]) as $line)
{
// Discard empty lines
if($line == 'dnl')
{
// Except if they're inside the description part - blocks shall stay separated.
if(!$beginning)
{
$func['description'] .= "\n\n";
}
continue;
}
$m = [];
// If no line had content yet, and the current line starts with the function name, that's the usage information!
if($beginning && preg_match('#dnl ('.$name.'(?:.*)?)#', $line, $m) === 1)
{
$func['usage'] = $m[1];
}
// Everything else is just description.
else
{
$func['description'] .= substr($line, 3);
}
$beginning = FALSE;
}
// Remove unnecessary whitespace, and make sure there's no sneaky HTML in the description.
$func['description'] = htmlspecialchars(trim($func['description']));
$funcs[$name] = $func;
}
// Sort by function name
ksort($funcs);
Running this in the folder where your acinclude.m4 is located will populate $funcs with a sorted array with function names as keys and their usage and description as values.
This can be parsed into an HTML table with a few lines of code, like
$html = '';
foreach($funcs as $name => $func)
{
$html .= '<tr><td>'.$name.'</td><td>'.$func['usage'].'</td><td>'.$func['description'].'</td></tr>';
}
file_put_contents('acinclude.html', '<table>'.$html.'</table>');
Apply some nice CSS to it and add a header row, and you've got a readable list of available macros.
While some macros are quite well documented, some are not, or lacking documentation entirely, but I still think it's better than nothing.
Applied to the acinclude.m4 of PHP 5.6.11, this yields (best viewed fullscreen):

Teets Here is an example for "config.m4" which i often use when developing php extension:
PHP_ARG_ENABLE(extname, whether to enable extname support,
[ --enable-extname Enable extname support])
if test "$PHP_EXTNAME" != "no"; then
PHP_REQUIRE_CXX() dnl If you need c++.please add this.
PHP_ADD_INCLUDE(./include) dnl Extra include file
PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH(staticlib,"./lib", EXTRA_LDFLAGS) dnl static library needed in the extension
PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH(dynamiclib, ./lib, EXTNAME_SHARED_LIBADD) dnl dynamic libarary needed in the extension
PHP_NEW_EXTENSION(extname, extname.cpp, $ext_shared)
fi
Actually the example extension generated by 'ext_skel' script, also shows usage of config.m4 file. You may want to read it as well.
