XAMPP 1.73 Windows installs
Thread Safety: Enabled;
XDEBUG v2.06dev (not a mainstream release at xdebug.org)
PHP 5.3.1
It is compiled with MSVC6 (Visual C++ 6.0)
This setup results in unreliable debug with NetBeans6.8.
xdebug.org says for PHP5.3x you must use non-thread safe versions of XDEBUG and match compiler (VC6).
i.e. in php.ini: zend_extension = "E:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll" and not zend_extension_ts ..
and xdebug must then be VC6 version.
Yet there's no VC6 in the latest version ( Xdebug 2.1.0beta1 Release date: 2010-01-03 )
I tried 2.1.0bata VC9 versions (ts and non-ts) but they simply don't show up when restarting apache.
Is xampp correct in building for thread-safe enabled with php 5.31?
Is xdebug dragging the chain in not having a VC6 version yet.
Is this as contradictory as it appears or I am missing something obvious (wouldn't be the first time!)?
