Yep those are safe! RETVAL_* expands out so you don't have to repeat the variable `return_value` ZVAL_LONG(return_value, l) RETURN_* expands out so you don't have to call return OR specify the variable `return_value` ZVAL_LONG(return_value, l) return; Here they are in 5.6 http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_6/Zend/zend_API.h#618 --- A great tool to look these things up quickly is lxr, sure beats grep! http://lxr.php.net/search?q=&defs=RETURN_LONG&refs=&path=&hist=&project=PHP_5_6 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
