Example code in simplexml_load_string()

    if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), "s|C!lsb", &data, &data_len, 
&ce, &options, &ns, &ns_len, &isprefix) == FAILURE) {
        return;
    }

    If (ZEND_LONG_INT_OVFL(options)) {
         RETURN_FALSE;
    }
    If (ZEND_SIZE_T_INT_OVFL(data_len)) {
         RETURN_FALSE;
    }
  
    docp = xmlReadMemory(data, data_len, NULL, NULL, options);


- on x86_64 - possible int overflow without check
- on ILP64 or i386 alike - no int overflow per se, so can be ommited

Regards

Anatol
