Hi internals! Is there any particular reason why we only pass return_value_ptr to internal functions if they have the ACC_RETURN_REFERENCE flag set?
Why can't we always provide the retval ptr, even for functions that don't return by reference? This would allow returning zvals without having to copy them first (what RETVAL_ZVAL does). Motivation for this is the following SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/17844379/385378 Thanks, Nikita
