1. Internal API changes
========================
- a. Executor changes
-
- * extensions can't override zend_execute() any more, they should override
- zend_execute_ex() instead. The EG(current_execute_data) is already
- initialized in zend_execute_ex(), so for compatibility extensions
- may need to use EG(current_execute_data)->prev_execute_data instead.
- * removed EG(arg_types_stack), EX(fbc), EX(called_scope), EX(current_object)
- * added op_array->nested_calls. It's calculated at compile time.
- * added EX(call_slots). It is an array to store information about syntaticaly
- nested calls (e.g. foo(bar())). It's preallocated together with execute_data.
- * added EX(call) - pointer to a current calling function. Actually an
- element of EX(call_slots)
- * opcodes INIT_METHOD_CALL, ZEND_INIT_STATIC_METHOD_CALL,
- ZEND_INIT_FCALL_BY_NAME, ZEND_INIT_NS_FCALL_BY_NAME use result.num as
- an index in EX(call_slots)
- * opcode ZEND_NEW uses extended_vallue as an index in EX(call_slots)
- * opcoes ZEND_DO_FCALL and ZEND_DO_FCALL_BY_NAME use op2.num as
- an index in EX(call_slots)
- * added op_array->used_stack. It's calculated at compile time and the
- corresponding stack space is preallocated together with execute_data.
- ZEND_SEND* and ZEND_DO_FCALL* don't need to check for stack overflow
- anymore.
- * Removed execute_data->Ts field. The VM temporary variables always allocated
- immediately before execute_data structure. Now they are accessed by offset
- from the execute_data base pointer (instead of execute_data->Ts). Compiler
- stores new offsets in op_array->opcodes[*].op?.num. You can use macros
- EX_TMP_VAR() and EX_TMP_VAR_NUM() to access temp_variable by offset or
- number. You can convert number to offset using EX_TMP_VAR_NUM(0, num) or
- offset to number (EX_TMP_VAR_NUM(0,0)-EX_TMP_VAR(0,offset)).
- * Removed execute_data->CVs field. The VM compiled variables always allocated
- immediately after execute_data structure. Now they are accessed by offset
- from the execute_data base pointer (instead of execute_data->CVs). You can
- use macros EX_CV_NUM() to access compiled variables by number.
-
- b. Streams pooling API
-
-The streams pooling API has been removed. The following functions no longer
-exist:
-
-PHPAPI int php_stream_context_get_link(php_stream_context *context,
- const char *hostent, php_stream **stream);
-PHPAPI int php_stream_context_set_link(php_stream_context *context,
- const char *hostent, php_stream *stream);
-PHPAPI int php_stream_context_del_link(php_stream_context *context,
- php_stream *stream);
-
- c. Lowercasing and locales
-
-The lowercasing functions in zend_operators.c were split into those that do
-lowercasing according to locale rules and those that do ASCII lowercasing.
-ASCII:
-
- zend_str_tolower_copy
- zend_str_tolower_dup
- zend_str_tolower
- zend_binary_strcasecmp
- zend_binary_strncasecmp
-
-Locale-based:
- zend_binary_strncasecmp_l
- zend_binary_strcasecmp_l
- zend_binary_zval_strcasecmp
- zend_binary_zval_strncasecmp
- string_compare_function_ex
- string_case_compare_function
-
-Internal engine lowercasing will be using ASCII-only rules. User-facing functions,
-such as strcasecmp, will be using locale rules.
-
-Two new functions - zend_binary_strncasecmp_l and zend_binary_strcasecmp_l - added as
-locale-based counterparts to zend_binary_strcasecmp and zend_binary_strncasecmp.
-
- d. zend_qsort_r
-
-Added the function zend_qsort_r():
-
-typedef int (*compare_r_func_t)(const void *, const void * TSRMLS_DC, void *);
-void zend_qsort_r(void *base, size_t nmemb, size_t siz, compare_r_func_t compare, void *arg TSRMLS_DC);
-
-The extra argument it has (relatively to zend_qsort()) is passed to the
-comparison function.
-
- e. get_current_key
-
-The signature of the get_current_key iteration handler has been changed to:
-
-void (*get_current_key)(zend_object_iterator *iter, zval *key TSRMLS_DC);
-
-The key should be written into the zval* using the ZVAL_* macros.
