Bug #74712 [NEW]: Now have to redeclare ticks on every file in PHP 7

From: hello at peterfeatherstone dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 17.04 PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Now have to redeclare ticks on every file in PHP 7 Description: ------------ In PHP 5.6 it seems that adding declare(ticks=1) and then using register_tick_function() would follow any includes and provide profiling information accordingly. In PHP 7+ however it now seems I have to add declare(ticks=1) in every file. I use this for profiling every method call on a page load and can't now add this to each PHP file in my system (If they are in libraries etc.). I can't find anything in the docs about changes that were made to this or an alternative method for profiling every tick in the application.
