Bug description:Optional tuning parameter for get_defined_functions and
get_defined_constants
Description:
------------
get_defined_constants() offers an optional parameter which, when passed
true, categorises the constants by extension.
get_defined_functions() returns a list of function names categorised by
whether they are "user" or "internal".
Both could benefit from being able to specify an actual category, instead
of just that the returned list be categorised. For example,
get_defined_functions('internal') would return a one-dimensional
numerically-indexed array of internally-defined functions.
It's mainly for convenience: avoiding the extra variable, and depending on
the internals some work collating the data.
Since the list of extensions is so variable from configuration to
configuration, it would be infeasible to define("DEFINED_CONSTANTS_PCRE",
"pcre") and so forth.
If the syntax engine could be convinced then this suggestion would be
redundant, since it could then be achieved as
get_defined_functions()['internal'].
Test script:
---------------
print_r(get_defined_functions('internal'));
Equivalent to:
$functions = get_defined_functions();
print_r($functions['internal']);
Expected result:
----------------
Array(
[0] => zend_version
[1] => func_num_args
[2] => func_get_arg
[3] => func_get_args
[4] => strlen
....
)
Actual result:
--------------
A Warning is triggered stating that get_defined_functions() expects exactly
0 parameters, not the 1 that it was given. print_r() outputs null.
