- MFH: Revert Joe's work around a bug in GCC patch as it breaks too many things.

- Fixed bug #30630: Added a BSD based strtod function that is
locale-independent.

- For Ilia:
- MFH: Fixed bug #30572 (crash when comparing SimpleXML attribute to a boolean).
- Hope this works well. I will MFH tomorrow if no one complains.

- Revert Fixed bug #30228 (crash when comparing SimpleXML attribute to a boolean).
- Need to discuss where the real problem is.

Fixed bug #30228 (crash when comparing SimpleXML attribute to a boolean).

- If object handles are equal then save the comparison of properties in
- the == operator.

- Small improvement to DVAL_TO_ZVAL macro

- MFB: Added the sorting flag SORT_LOCALE_STRING to the sort() functions which
makes them sort based on the current locale. (Derick)

- Resolve undefined behavior (joe at redhat)

- Nuke empty_string. It is a reminanent from the time where RETURN_FALSE()
used to return "" and not bool(false). It's not worth keeping it because
STR_FREE() and zval_dtor() always have

- Nuke empty_string. It is a reminanent from the time where RETURN_FALSE()
used to return "" and not bool(false). It's not worth keeping it because
STR_FREE() and zval_dtor() always have to check for it and it slows down
the general case. In addition, it seems that empty_string has been abused
quite a lot, and was used not only for setting zval's but generally in
PHP code instead of "", which wasn't the intention. Last but not least,
nuking empty_string should improve stability as I doubt every place
correctly checked if they are not mistakenly erealloc()'ing it or
calling efree() on it.
NOTE: Some code is probably broken. Each extension maintainer should
check and see that my changes are OK. Also, I haven't had time to touch
PECL yet. Will try and do it tomorrow.

- Support old style of converting objects to long/double/bool.
- This is only enabled in compatibility mode, else it calls cast_object()

if ($obj) {

Fix: Add return type void
