Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: PHP 7.1.21

It seems to be resolved now and versions and tags done properly. Should in this case there be also a merge done from PHP-7.1 to all later branches? On Wed, 1 Aug 2018 at 02:33, Jan Ehrhardt wrote: > "Christoph M. Becker" in php.internals (Tue, 31 Jul 2018 16:59:15 > +0200): > >On 31.07.2018 at

Re: [PHP-DEV] Array max size

If you are arguing strictly about not knowing what to write on the documentation, let's move the discussion towards whether it should be defined or not. 2018-08-01 16:51 GMT-03:00 Sherif Ramadan : > Right, and therein lies the problem. No one has ever defined this > behavior. As such, one cannot

Re: [PHP-DEV] Array max size

Right, and therein lies the problem. No one has ever defined this behavior. As such, one cannot document what has never been defined. What you're describing is UNdefined. Undefined things cannot be documented. On Wed, Aug 1, 2018, 3:46 PM Marcos Passos wrote: > *The point is not about the poss

Re: [PHP-DEV] Array max size

*The point is not about the possibility of crossing the limit of the array, but the need for a definition so one can design a method or function whose behavior aligns with the array capabilities. This need, in fact, became more noticeable from a design point of view since the introduction of the it

It looks like the limit I mentioned, used by some functions, is architecture-dependent: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/Zend/zend_types.h#L288 Also, that's such a ridiculously large number for the vast majority of > people using PHP that hardly anyone ever runs into this limit. The po

Re: [PHP-DEV] Array max size

It's undocumented, because it's considered undefined behavior. PHP arrays implicitly store the number of elements internally as an unsigned 32 bit integer (regardless of architecture). This means that (technically) you can't create an array with more than ((2**31) - 1) elements (or 2,147,483,647 el

[PHP-DEV] Array max size

Whenever you look for more information about the maximum size of an array, you find someone saying that "PHP arrays do not have a maximum size, but the amount of memory available". However, I could not find any excerpt in PHP documentation that supports that. Even if the engine imposes no hard lim

[PHP-DEV] Internal LRU cache implementation

Hello internals, In my experience, LRU cache is a common pattern in userland. Each time I write one in PHP, I suspect that it would probably be much more efficient if it was implemented in C. If this is indeed a very common pattern, and it would be much more efficient implemented internally, is t
