Primarily related to the path handling datatypes, to avoid unnecessary
casts, where possible. Also some rework to avoid code dup. Probably
more places are to go, even not path related, primarily to have less
casts and unsigned integers where possible. That way, we've not only
less warnings and casts, but are also safer with regard to the
integer overflows. OFC it's not a panacea, but still significantly
reduces the vulnerability potential.
The core implementation details are described in win32/nice.c for values sent to proc_nice(), these can however be discussed to maybe comply with those of wmic, Anatol, thoughts?
The test supplied uses wmic for testing the functionality, it could potentially fail on systems where either wmic is not available or the system language is not english (as Microsoft tends to translate even CLI programs).
We add a respective note to UPGRADING. Furthermore, as renaming of zend_qsort()
and the new zend_insert_sort() are irrelevant for user-land, we move this
info to UPGRADING.INTERNALS.
Previous some places passed return_value_ptr only if the function
returned by reference. Now return_value_ptr is always set, even
for functions returning by-value.
This allows you to return zvals without copying their contents. For
this purpose two new macros RETVAL_ZVAL_FAST and RETURN_ZVAL_FAST
are added:
RETVAL_ZVAL_FAST(zv); /* Analog to RETVAL_ZVAL(zv, 1, 0) */
RETURN_ZVAL_FAST(zv); /* Analog to RETURN_ZVAL(zv, 1, 0) */
These macros behave similarly to the non-FAST versions with
copy=1 and dtor=0, with the difference that the FAST versions
will try return the zval without copying by utilizing return_value_ptr.
- Added mechanism to force outer streams to be closed before their inner ones.
- Fixed temp:// streams only handling correctly (through an ad hoc mechanism) reverse closing order
when the inner stream is of type memory.
- Added to UPGRADING information about the new class Transliteral, the new
parameter in dns_get_record and the fact that call_user_func_array no longer
allows call-time pass-by-reference.
. zend_function.pass_rest_by_reference is replaced by
ZEND_ACC_PASS_REST_BY_REFERENCE in zend_function.fn_flags
. zend_function.return_reference is replaced by ZEND_ACC_RETURN_REFERENCE
in zend_function.fn_flags
. zend_arg_info.required_num_args removed. it was needed only for internal
functions. Now the first arg_info for internal function (which has special
meaning) is represented by zend_internal_function_info structure.
. zend_op_array.size, size_var, size_literal, current_brk_cont,
backpatch_count moved into CG(context), because they are used only during
compilation.
. zend_op_array.start_op is moved into EG(start_op), because it's used
only for 'interactive' execution of single top-level op-array.
. zend_op_array.done_pass_two is replaced by ZEND_ACC_DONE_PASS_TWO in
zend_op_array.fn_flags.
. op_array.vars array is trimmed (reallocated) during pass_two.
. zend_class_entry.constants_updated is replaced by
ZEND_ACC_CONSTANTS_UPDATED in zend_class_entry.ce_flags
. the size of zend_class_entry is reduced by sharing the same memory space
by different information for internal and user classes.
