Hi internals, We currently have a large number of zpp "variation" tests, which essentially only test the behavior of zend_parse_parameters plugged into different functions. A random example of such a test:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/standard/tests/strings/addslashes_variation1.phpt This test passes a certain set of input values of different types to a function with a zpp string argument and observes the behavior. Of course, there are also hundreds of other functions that accept strings through zpp and the behavior is always going to be the same. Based on a quick grep I would estimate that we have around 700 of these tests. We have a hard policy against adding new tests for zpp behavior, but I would like to get rid of the existing ones as well. They provide essentially no value, but are a major chore to update for even for minor changes. Regards, Nikita
