Re: ARG_COUNT(ht)

Mega patch coming up :) We really don't want coders to have to know Zend internals. The "ht" is a leftover from PHP 3 and we kept the ARG_COUNT() for backwards comatibility. Time for it to pretty much die. Andi At 02:50 PM 6/5/00 +0200, Hartmut Holzgraefe wrote:

Why is the ARG_COUNT(ht) macro used in current code? The definition is: #define ARG_COUNT(dummy) (ht) can just plain ht be used instead, or for code that will be in PHP, ARG_COUNT(ht) should be used?

ARG_COUNT(ht) is a historical fossil from PHP 3. It was kept around for compatibility purposes. In PHP 4 you are supposed to use ZEND_NUM_ARGS() instead. seems to me that this is one of the 'unknown facts' find . -name "*.c" | xargs fgrep 'ARG_COUNT(' | wc -l 1102 find . -name "*.c" | xargs fgrep 'ZEND_NUM_ARGS(' | wc -l
