New parameter parsing functions
===============================
It should be easier to parse input parameters to an extension function.
Hence, borrowing from Python's example, there are now a set of functions
that given the string of type specifiers, can parse the input parameters
and store the results in the user specified variables. This avoids most
of the IS_* checks and convert_to_* conversions. The functions also
check for the appropriate number of parameters, and try to output
meaningful error messages.
Prototypes
----------
/* Implemented. */
int zend_parse_parameters(int num_args, char *type_spec, ...);
int zend_parse_parameters_ex(int flags, int num_args, char *type_spec, ...);
The zend_parse_parameters() function takes the number of parameters
passed to the extension function, the type specifier string, and the
list of pointers to variables to store the results in. The _ex() version
also takes 'flags' argument -- current only ZEND_PARSE_PARAMS_QUIET can
be used as 'flags' to specify that the function should operate quietly
and not output any error messages.
Both functions return SUCCESS or FAILURE depending on the result.
The auto-conversions are performed as necessary. Arrays, objects, and
resources cannot be auto-converted.
PHP 5.5 includes a new function:
int zend_parse_parameter(int flags, int arg_num, zval **arg, const char *spec, ...);
This function behaves like zend_parse_parameters_ex() except that instead of
reading the arguments from the stack, it receives a single zval to convert
(passed with double indirection). The passed zval may be changed in place as
part of the conversion process.
See also https://wiki.php.net/rfc/zpp_improv#expose_zend_parse_arg_as_zend_parse_parameter
Type specifiers
---------------
The following list shows the type specifier, its meaning and the parameter
types that need to be passed by address. All passed parameters are set
if the PHP parameter is non optional and untouched if optional and the
parameter is not present. The only exception is O where the zend_class_entry*
has to be provided on input and is used to verify the PHP parameter is an
instance of that class.
a - array (zval*)
A - array or object (zval*)
b - boolean (zend_bool)
C - class (zend_class_entry*)
d - double (double)
f - function or array containing php method call info (returned as
zend_fcall_info and zend_fcall_info_cache)
h - array (returned as HashTable*)
H - array or HASH_OF(object) (returned as HashTable*)
l - long (zend_long)
L - long, limits out-of-range numbers to LONG_MAX/LONG_MIN (zend_long, ZEND_LONG_MAX/ZEND_LONG_MIN)
o - object of any type (zval*)
O - object of specific type given by class entry (zval*, zend_class_entry)
p - valid path (string without null bytes in the middle) and its length (char*, size_t)
P - valid path (string without null bytes in the middle) as zend_string (zend_string*)
r - resource (zval*)
s - string (with possible null bytes) and its length (char*, size_t)
S - string (with possible null bytes) as zend_string (zend_string*)
z - the actual zval (zval*)
* - variable arguments list (0 or more)
+ - variable arguments list (1 or more)
The following characters also have a meaning in the specifier string:
| - indicates that the remaining parameters are optional, they
should be initialized to default values by the extension since they
will not be touched by the parsing function if they are not
passed to it.
/ - use SEPARATE_ZVAL_IF_NOT_REF() on the parameter it follows
! - the parameter it follows can be of specified type or NULL. If NULL is
passed and the output for such type is a pointer, then the output
pointer is set to a native NULL pointer.
For 'b', 'l' and 'd', an extra argument of type zend_bool* must be
passed after the corresponding bool*, zend_long* or double* arguments,
respectively. A non-zero value will be written to the zend_bool if a
PHP NULL is passed.
Note on 64bit compatibility
---------------------------
Please note that since version 7 PHP uses zend_long as integer type and
zend_string with size_t as length, so make sure you pass zend_longs to "l"
and size_t to strings length (i.e. for "s" you need to pass char * and size_t),
not the other way round!
Both mistakes might cause memory corruptions and segfaults:
1)
char *str;
long str_len; /* XXX THIS IS WRONG!! Use size_t instead. */
zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), "s", &str, &str_len)
2)
int num; /* XXX THIS IS WRONG!! Use zend_long instead. */
zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), "l", &num)
If you're in doubt, use check_parameters.php script to the parameters
and their types (it can be found in ./scripts/dev/ directory of PHP sources):
# php ./scripts/dev/check_parameters.php /path/to/your/sources/
Examples
--------
/* Gets a long, a string and its length, and a zval */
zend_long l;

zval *param;

/* Get either a set of 3 longs or a string. */
zend_long l1, l2, l3;
char *s;
/*
* The function expects a pointer to a size_t in this case, not a long
* or any other type. If you specify a type which is larger
* than a 'size_t', the upper bits might not be initialized
* properly, leading to random crashes on platforms like
* Tru64 or Linux/Alpha.
