Req #76865 [NEW]: RFC: make `array_*` functions handling `iterable`, not only `array`

From: scif-1986 at ya dot ru Operating system: PHP version: Next Minor Version Package: Arrays related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:RFC: make array_* functions handling iterable, not only array Description: ------------ The iterable pseudo-type has been introduced for a while and is very useful. While array_*() core functions are still doesn't support iterable as argument and works with array only. Obviously, I'm talking about array_map()/array_column()/array_diff(),array_chunk()/array_combine()… which don't change an argument by pointer. Sorry, don't know C, so it's just an idea :) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76865&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76865&r=mysqlcfg
