Segfaults with Xapian under PHP 5.4 or later

Description (last modified by )
The runtime crashes when a script tries to use a MatchDecider subclass. In this case, the bindings documentation recommends to stick to PHP 5.3 for now. Since the upstream support for this version did end on 14 August 2014, this is no longer an advisable option.

Hmm, I really can't see where the page you link to suggests sticking with PHP 5.3.
http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes/1.2.18 did, so I've just updated that.

Someone found the single character change to fix this, and I've committed the fix to SWIG. I'll update the version of SWIG we use for the next release.
Here's a patch for 1.2.18, but it should apply to any vaguely recent version of the code:

Fixed in 1.2 branch by r18284.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a bug in SWIG (or possibly PHP), and nobody's yet managed to work out what's going on:
https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/164
So all we can really do right now is to drop the recommendation to stick with PHP 5.3.
