Hi gurus.
Fiddling with PHP extensions I found the following code in
'sapi_add_header_ex()' in SAPI.c
if (!duplicate)
efree(header_line);
which makes me wonder because the other day I read CODING_STANDARD
included in PHP src which says
"[1] Functions that are given pointers to resources should not free them
*snip*
Exceptions:
- The function's designated behavior is freeing that resource. E.g. efree()
- The function is given a boolean argument, that controls whether or not
the function may free its arguments (if true - the function must free its
arguments, if false - it must not)
*snip*
"
I felt the rule above is incompatible with how efree and duplicate
flag is used in
sapi_add_header_ex().
So my question is...
Is this intentional?
If so, any reason to break the coding standard in this instance?
and what does, in this context, 'duplicate' means?
Thanks you in advance.
