I believe I have it working. Anyone see any blatant problems with this?
Also, would it make sense to have this functionality in the engine itself?
Seeing as that internal classes have inheritance capabilities, it seems
logical to have the functionality to call a parent constructor within the
engine itself. I could definitely see this being useful within the SPL as
its class library continues to grow as well.
void pow_call_parent_constructor(zval *object TSRMLS_DC)
{
zend_class_entry *ce = EG(function_state_ptr)->function->common.scope;
if (ce->parent && ce->parent->constructor) {
zval *retval_ptr;
zend_fcall_info fci;
zend_fcall_info_cache fcc;
if (!(ce->parent->constructor->common.fn_flags & ZEND_ACC_PUBLIC)) {
return;
}
fci.size = sizeof(fci);
fci.function_table = NULL;
fci.function_name = NULL;
fci.symbol_table = NULL;
fci.object_pp = &object;
fci.retval_ptr_ptr = &retval_ptr;
fci.param_count = 0;
fci.params = NULL;
fci.no_separation = 1;
fcc.initialized = 1;
fcc.function_handler = ce->parent->constructor;
fcc.calling_scope = ce;
fcc.object_pp = &object;
if (zend_call_function(&fci, &fcc TSRMLS_CC) == FAILURE) {
return;
}
if (retval_ptr) {
zval_ptr_dtor(&retval_ptr);
}
}
}
Forgive me if its crude, but it appears to work.

Subject: [PHP-DEV] Follow the object constructor chain ... options
What would be the suggested method of simulating parent::__construct in
C-level objects?
I looked through the source and could find no examples to draw from.
Since my base object is the foundation of my extension, its constructor has
to be called on each derived object creation.
I have a few ideas that have to do with looping through ce->parent and
zend_call_function.
Was wondering if you guys can offer some of your experience on how you would
approach this problem.
