The patch we promised - redesigned the compilation/execution API:
Advantages:
- Smaller memory footprint for the op arrays
- Slightly faster compilation times (due to saved erealloc() calls and faster zend_op
initialization)
- include_once() & require_once() share the same file list
- Consistency between include() and require() - this mostly means that return()
works inside require()'d files just as it does in include() files (it used to
be meaningless in require()'d files, most of the time (see below))
- Made require() consistent with itself. Before, if the argument was not a constant
string, require() took the include() behavior (with return()).
- Removed lots of duplicate code.
Bottom line - require() and include() are very similar now; require() is simply an include()
which isn't allowed to fail. Due to the erealloc() calls for large op arrays, require()
didn't end up being any faster than include() in the Zend engine.

Fix order

Thoroughly initialize IS_UNUSED for proper cleanup

Pass the op_array to the ctor/dtor, instead of just the resource

Fix possible bug with extension dtors being called without the ctors being called first

Beautify

- Export pass_include() for Windows

Added !== (is not identical) operator.

- Include Andrea's fix for alloca.h

fix cast

- Some header dependencies cleanup
- Generalize zval_print() and zval_print_r()

- Fix warning (I thought I fixed this one before)

It's official now...

(c) patch

Maintain a state of whether we're compiling and/or executing

- Allow is_ref to become 0 in case the refcount is back to 1.

Destructors no longer return ints, the low level problem it was intended to solve is long gone now...

- Generalize the fast cache mechanism
- Add the HashTable struct to the fast cache mechanism

Fix a class inheritence leak, when using static varibles in a parent class member function

- Implement return by reference:
- In function declaration instead of the return statement
- In the assignment phase
- Implement ability to turn off support for call-time pass by refe

- Preliminary submit of Thie's patch. Will fix the rest on Windows
as this was added on UNIX with patch. Changed IS_SAME -> IS_IDENTICAL

- Move is_ref back to being an unsigned char and not a bit field.

- First step in fixing locking problem. Array fetches are now always done last.
Later on we will want to delay the write fetches even longer until after their
resulting expression is pars

- First step in fixing locking problem. Array fetches are now always done last.
Later on we will want to delay the write fetches even longer until after their
resulting expression is parsed. The way it is now, will make it very easy
to delay as long as we need.

- Make sure expr_list and echo_list are either empty or comma seperated
expressions

- Initialize extended value's and put the fetch_type in it's own variable
name.
