Can I use APCu in Lithium of the PHP Framework with no configuration, or should I change the code?

Question

When I setup a lithium project (below process) and start PHP web server, I get an information of Apc disable (Apc ✗) on the framework's welcome page.

But I run sed -ir "s/'apc'/'apcu'/" libraries/lithium/storage/cache/adapter/Apc.php, then I get Apc enabled (Apc ✓).

This code change is correctly? or not?

Environment

• Fedora 26 (x86_64)
• PHP 7.1.7 (cli) (built: Jul 6 2017 12:10:54) ( NTS )
• php-pecl-apcu 5.1.8
• Composer version 1.4.2 2017-05-17 08:17:52

Detail:

$ rpm -qa | grep php
php-pdo-7.1.7-1.fc26.x86_64
php-pecl-apcu-devel-5.1.8-2.fc26.x86_64
php-7.1.7-1.fc26.x86_64
php-mysqlnd-7.1.7-1.fc26.x86_64
php-json-7.1.7-1.fc26.x86_64
php-devel-7.1.7-1.fc26.x86_64
php-cli-7.1.7-1.fc26.x86_64
php-pecl-apcu-5.1.8-2.fc26.x86_64

How to setup of the Lithium, and access the framework's welcome page:

$ composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist unionofrad/framework app

$ cd app/
$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t app/webroot index.php

Setting diff

.orig file is the backup.

• /etc/php.ini:

  $ diff /etc/php.ini.orig /etc/php.ini
  460c460,461
  < error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
  ---
  > ;error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
  > error_reporting = E_ALL
  

• /etc/php.d/40-apcu.ini:

  $ diff /etc/php.d/40-apcu.ini.orig /etc/php.d/40-apcu.ini
  9a10
  > apc.enable_cli=1
  

Cases

with a -c /etc/php.ini parameter

Run with the parameter, but it no effect,:

$ php -c /etc/php.ini -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t app/webroot index.php

shows Apc disable (Apc ✗).
