So, now that we've standardized how a function returns references, do we still need to cleanup the way internal functions handle return_value? I remember Andi mentioning that some of the functions behaved badly and overwrote is_ref/refcount or something like that.
All it means is that you can't return references or zval's with refcount more than 1 from internal functions. This is something which couldn't be done before. If we really have internal functions which could benefit from this we can think of a way to make this happen (maybe). Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
