Hi, I have create a header that does it ( see https://github.com/bukka/phpc/blob/master/phpc.h ). There are still quite a few bits that need to be added and tidied up but it already suppors most cases that I will need in my extension. The header probably doesn't show much (and might look a bit scary ... :) ) so I have created a testing ext that uses it. You can see the result here: https://github.com/bukka/php-extest/blob/master/extest_compat.c As you can see there isn't a single ifdef and it compiles and works (test passes) for PHP 7 and 5 (tested on 5.6 but should be fine for 5.2+). It means that it won't require any changes in PECL. There isn't much documentation as yet because I'm still working on it. But I plan to add it later. Any comments or patches are welcome! Cheers Jakub
