On this subject, I've been looking into what produces the largest
warnings spam with a decent set of warnings turned on, and I'd like to
recommend this patch. I can't commit it myself (I don't have Zend
karma), nor would I care to without getting some opinion on it. The
patch is against 5.4, but should apply equally to trunk. No API is
changed, and no BC issues are created; it only adds a
forward-compatible optional declarator for the end of a
zend_function_entry struct. Obviously, the spammed warning in question
is "missing initializer", with respect to every function entry struct
in every extension, all of which simply use the {NULL, NULL, NULL}
from ext_skel. The intention is to provide this constant to protect
against future extensions of the structure. There are some other
structures which could also benefit from such an initializer
(smart_str and zend_fcall_info[_cache] come to mind).
