My vague recollection is that it had some troubles with keeping refcounts consistent, esp. withing bytecode caching context, but it may be a false memory :) > However, I think it's too dangerous to break it in last minute before > release. We definitely need to fix the WTF with "no runtime use" for defined constant and the segfault before the release. I think for the arrays, if we can't have it working properly we'd better not have array support there for 5.6.0 and fix it in 5.6.1 than have this weird "no runtime use" thing. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
