You are right about the NULL case, that can indeed not occur. But INT is
possible, e.g. consider this:
<?php
foreach ((object) ['x','y','z'] as $k => $v) {
var_dump($k);
}
this will give you keys int(0), int(1), int(2).
I'll remove the check for NULL.

In foreach IS_NULL can't occur in an error condition, because the loop is
already aborted when get_current_data provides NULL. IS_NULL can only
happen when its explicitly provided (or handlers are incorrectly coded). I
think the IS_NULL fallback is mainly important when the iterator is used
for other things (like a dual it), to be sure that it'll always work. I
don't think that it's important to distinguish between explicit NULL and
failure NULL.
I have one more question: Right now I added the
zend_hash_get_current_key_zval API in zend_hash.c/h, which is a bit ugly
because it has a zval dependency (unlike all the other code in there) and
requires me to forward-declare the zval struct. Would it be better to move
this somewhere else, e.g. zend_API.c/h? If so, can I still keep the same
name (with the zend_hash_ prefix)? If I move it to zend_API, I won't be
able to do the IS_CONSISTENT check anymore, is that a problem?
Thanks,
Nikita
