Description

While trying to build sqlsrv 5.12.0 against PHP 8.4.0alpha2, I've noticed

While designated initializers are a C99 feature, they are only supported as of C++20, and that appears to stretch compiler support a bit too far.

Even worse, apparently the type cast isn't supported by MSVC (and maybe others) at all.

Replacing that function definition with the following works smoothly:

static inline php_random_algo_with_state php_random_default_engine(void)
{
	php_random_algo_with_state raws;
	raws.algo = php_random_default_algo();
	raws.state = php_random_default_status();
	return raws;
}

Maybe there is a better solution.
