Hello,
I propose that a new type, 'Z', be added in order to allow the extension coders
access to the zval** which was available with the now deprecated
zend_get_parameters().
I came to this conclusion after tracing some segfaults to a section of code
similar to this:
zval *zend_value;
if(zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "z", &zend_value) ==
FAILURE)
return;
convert_to_array_ex(&zend_value);
I realized after sifting through the Zend code that the proper handling of zval*
types is just as important as that of the zval's. This modification will
give extension programmers access to legitimate zval*'s and their corresponding
zval.
