Re: [PATCH] - fix for 64 bit issues with OnUpdateInt

I agree about the confusing part. My suggestion is: * we leave OnUpdateInt as is currently for BC, deprecating it now, removing it in (? php 5.x == ZE2 ?) * convert everything in the code base to OnUpdateLong, which means I change the arguments passed into the call where needed (yipee I get to do another code sweep :-) This fixes the symantic problem and sets the stage for how to proceed in the future. * update the documentation with a note reminding people that int and long are not the same thing, both for OnUpdateInt and for zend_parse_parameters (I found zend_parse_parameters in the docs but not OnUpdateInt, any hints ?) I *think* this would work with all of the comments I have seen on this issue. I will start coding today, and if people are ok with it I will commit on Friday (to allow time for comment) so that Jani can move on 4.3.2. dave
