PHP Internals folks-- My name is Eric Stenson, and I'm a developer at Microsoft working on IIS. I've been given the task of upgrading our php_wincache extension to work on PHP5.4, and I've run into a problem.
The problem I'm running into is the php_cgi!main() on PHP5.4 has changed behavior. The php_cgi!main() function is seeing us return a ZEND_HANDLE_STREAM, and it's assuming that the zend_file_handle.handle.stream.handle (void *) is a (php_stream*), when in fact it's php_wincache's (fcache_handle *). It then attempts to access the php_stream.ops (a v-table-ish struct), which is not in the fcache_handle, and it jumps off into an invalid address and promptly AV's. I'm trying to understand why our php_wincache!fcache_useval() thinks it's okay to set zend_file_handle.handle.stream.handle to (fcache_handle *). I'm having trouble understanding what the responsibilities are of a PHP extension that extends the file system as php_wincache does. Could you point me at any developer documents for PHP extension developers that explains what php_wincache *should* be doing? I'm very much a novice at PHP code, or writing a PHP extension, so I feel like I'm flailing around without understanding what PHP extensions are supposed to do. Any pointers, guidance, and architecture advice would be massively helpful!
