Hey: we used to use lval of zval as a handle to access resource type..
but now, we introduced a new type IS_RESOURCE, which make the handle(id) sort of redundant . further more, the common usage when handling resource is like: if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), "rl", &result, &offset) == FAILURE) { return; } ZEND_FETCH_RESOURCE(mysql_result, MYSQL_RES *, result, -1, "MySQL result", le_result); as you can see, we use "r" to receive a IS_RESOURCE type, that means, check the type in ZEND_FETCH_RESOURCE is overhead.. and: ZEND_API void *zend_fetch_resource(zval *passed_id, int default_id, const char *resource_type_name, int *found_resource_type, int num_resource_types, ...) we use va_args to passing resource type, that means, the rescue type arguments can not be passed by register but by stack.. which is a little low effiicient . so, I'd like propose a zend_resource handling API cleanup.. 1. DROP ZEND_REGISTER_RESOURCE/FETCH_RESOURCE. 2. add : ZEND_API void *zend_fetch_resource(zend_resource *res, const char *resource_type_name, int resource_type); ZEND_API void *zend_fetch_resource2(zend_resource *res, const char *resource_type_name, int *found_type, int resource_type, int resource_type2); ZEND_API void *zend_fetch_resource_ex(zval *res, const char *resource_type_name, int resource_type); ZEND_API void *zend_fetch_resource2_ex(zval *res, const char *resource_type_name, int *found_type, int resource_type, int resource_type2); a underworking patch could be found at: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1042 any ideas & objections? thanks -- Xinchen Hui @Laruence http://www.laruence.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
