Note I send all I can provide to you (zeev and you) and/or the list as well as a deep description on irc with marcus. Two of them are well known, the static call of a method inside another method of an instantiated object, and the $a->a++; .= += and friends. One is more vicious, see ilia post and the mail I forward to you and Zeev. The problem is SHUTDOWN try to call the dtor and friends of an extension once this extension has been already unloaded => crash. The last (most important) point is about some inconsistencies in the get_properties internals call. The behiavors are either wrong or badly documented. Feel free to ask more details if my mail do not suffice to explain the problem. In summary: foreach & reflection APIs do not rely only on these functions but seems to access the propery hashtable directly (failed to see where sorry...). In my usage foreach loops over the 1st property, endless. And reflection does not work. For what I see: - this is the expected behiavors and make the properties callback kinda useless or not flexible and the doc (headers at least) should be updated asap (as ZE2 is features freezed, developers can start to rely on expected behiavors, even with some bugs) - this is a bug, and we can wait before adding too much hacks in our ext ;) I sent you a mail with all references to the cvs files to reproduce and/or see where this problem occurs. Feel free to ask more infos or blame me if I'm not clear enough. I apologize to do not be able to provide patches for ZE2, not I have not tried but I miss the time to enough clue about its internal function, at least for this part. > Just so you are aware, there has not been one PHP release (nor major ... > even released).

What I tried to say is RC1 means we have bugs but the behiavors are or will be as described. That's my main issue (for now ;-) ). hth pierre -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
