I think that making all failed memory allocations recoverable is not viable because more PHP C code that makes memory allocations assumes it only returns if it succeeds. Trying to change that everywhere memory is allocated is and monster job that I doubt that any PHP core developer will agree on doing.
You could just create a new function for that: alloc_no_exception There's no need to change every call, you'd only need to change the calls that can take a NULL result.
I find it hard to justify such function
Why? I think a large number of data handling functions would benefit from such a function. And it'd make PHP more robust.
Olaf, PHP is an open source language is it not? Since you're so smart why don't YOU write the code?
Because I don't have time to fix every bug (I encounter) in every open source app I use.
And I don't know the internals of the PHP code to be sure my patch works and doesn't break anything else.
