Hi Lucas,
I took a look into patch and I still don't like it.
I may miss some things and make mistakes so correct me if I'm wrong.
1) It makes some slowdown for all SAPIs except Apache1, because it adds
additional block/unblock code (mainly in zend_alloc.c)
This is the part that has never made sense to me. If we don't need to
block signals in zend_alloc, remove those
HANDLE_[UN]BLOCK_INTERRUPTIONS macros. And since these are a NOP for
all but the Apache1 SAPI, either all other sapis are broken, or these
are not needed at all.
It is a question. Of course this block/unblock code prevents staying the
heap in inconsistent state which can cause SIGSEGV later and new code
must be safer, but slower. :(
If we remove all HANDLE_[UN]BLOCK_INTERRUPTIONS we don't need this patch
at all. :)
That assumes no extensions need critical sections, which is a bad
assumption, especially for anything playing with shared memory like
opcode caches.
