This can be done either by:
* Using explicit full paths, using the $IP global for the installation directory full path, and then working down the tree from there.
* Using explicit full paths, using the "dirname(__FILE__)" directive to get a full directory path for the includer file.
* Occasionally removing the line altogether, and then for some files the inclusion is handled by the autoloader.
For example, if the "extensions/wikihiero/wh_main.php" file does an include or require on "wh_list.php", then PHP does the following:
* tries to open "wiki/wh_list.php", and fails.
* tries to open "wiki/includes/wh_list.php", and fails.
* tries to open "wiki/languages/wh_list.php", and fails.
* tries to open "wiki/extensions/wikihiero/wh_list.php", and succeeds.
So in this example, the first 3 calls can be prevented if PHP is told where the file is.
Testing Method: On a Linux box, run these commands to attach strace to all the apache2 processes, and log their system calls to a temporary file, then generate some activity, and then stop the strace:
-----------------------------------
rm /tmp/strace-log.txt
strace -tt -o /tmp/strace-log.txt -p `pidof apache2 | sed 's/ / -p /g'` &
php maintenance/fuzz-tester.php --keep-passed-tests --include-binary --max-runtime=3 > /tmp/strace-tests.txt
killall -9 strace
grep "No such file or directory" /tmp/strace-log.txt | sort -u
-----------------------------------
Any failed file stats will be marked with: "-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)".
Also:
* Strict Standards: Undefined offset: 230 in includes/normal/UtfNormal.php on line 637
* Strict Standards: iconv() [<a href='function.iconv'>function.iconv</a>]: Detected an illegal character in input string in languages/Language.php on line 776
[Note: Partial only - despite adding "//IGNORE", it still seems to be possible with some
messed- up binary input to cause PHP 5.1.2's iconv() function to squeal like a stuck pig].
* Update one $fname variable (method belongs to HistoryBlobStub class).
* use diffchange class alone for backwards compatibility with old renderings and diff plugins
* set text-decoration: none in diffs in RSS/Atom feeds
* fix bad diff regex in UTF-8 RandomTest script
* removing some unused global declarations.
* removing or commenting out or adding comments for unused local vars.
* Adding one or two local var declarations.
* Declaring $matches array passed to preg_match() / preg_match_all() as array() before using [not required, just have a slight preference for the explicitness].
* remove one or two pass-by-reference function declarations where the value is not modified.
* Adding some braces to if-else blocks.
* In Parser.php, stripstrate is now an object rather than an array as per r17820, so we no longer need ask for a reference to it (as in "$x =& $this->mStripState;"), and in fact it's probably just simpler to get rid of $x altogether.
* Moving some preg regexes from "" quoting to '' quoting to stop static analyzer whinging about bad escape sequences.
... up to "LinksUpdate.php" in the includes/ directory.
* when splitting ascii vs non-ascii chunks, don't split punctuation and control chars as aggressively; this benefits the Korean test data
* use output buffer and echo; it's _slightly_ faster than string concatenation.
* Separate the surrogate check from the others; many Korean letters fall in the adjacent area with the same head byte, so this gives a small speed boost on Korean text
