At the present moment neither of the PHP 7.0 releases will compile clean on a strict POSIX environment. At all. The version 5.6.x tree is perfectly stable and works out of the box without an endless compile nightmare whereas 7.0.14 and 7.1.0 won't even compile. I guess I need to file more bug reports and push through this or the 5.6.x version will be dropped with no valid replacement that works in a strict environment. Perhaps the gcc compiler is an absolute requirement and if that is true then the code isn't acceptable to any other compiler regardless if it is C99 compliant or otherwise. Dennis Clarke
