FREE_ZVAL and/or zval_dtor()

Hi, I'm not sure if I have understood how to free the memory allocatedof a zval correctly. Because I don't want to create memory leaks, please tell me if I am right or tell me how it is done correctly: If I create a zval with MAKE_STD_ZVAL, I just need to call FREE_ZVAL, because there is no value associated with that zval up to now. But if I store a string or an object or something like that in this zval I also need to use zval_dtor() before I destroy the zval itself with FREE_ZVAL, right? Example: zval *foo; MAKE_STD_ZVAL(foo); /* Allocate zval */ ZVAL_STRING(foo,'"Some text",1); /* Store a string in zval */ /* Do something */ zval_dtor(foo); /* Free the string */ FREE_ZVAL(foo); /* Free the zval */ Is that correct? Another question: How do I free the return_value from a call_user_function_ex() call? The Zend-API-Documentation says, I have to use zval_dtor, but is this enough? This just frees the memory allocated by the zval-value, or not? What about the zval itself? -- Bye, K <http://www.ailis.de/~k/> [A735 47EC D87B 1F15 C1E9 53D3 AA03 6173 A723 E391] (Finger k@ailis.de to get public key)
