hi Michael, it's pitty, I didn't found this extension before. thanks for pointing, I'll definetly take a look.
I, also, like the idea of preloading ffi definitions on startup, but I would prefer to allow preloading any php files. Especially for FFI, PHP wrappers would able to hide dangerous implementation details. Thanks. Dmitry. On Apr 17, 2018 8:50 AM, Michael Wallner <m...@php.net> wrote: Hi! Nice that FFI is of interest again, so may I kindly point you to ext-psi? https://github.com/m6w6/ext-psi It follows a different approach, though, that it requires definition files on startup, not at runtime.
