#51045 [NEW]: sem_get() parameter $auto_release default value not documented

From: ayzit1991 at googlemail dot com Operating system: All PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: sem_get() parameter $auto_release default value not documented Description: ------------ The signature for sem_get() reads resource sem_get ( int $key [, int $max_acquire = 1 [, int $perm = 0666 [, int $auto_release ]]] ) For the parameter $auto_release, it is not documented: 1. how values are handled, 2. what the default value is. For 1 my guess is, that an integer that evaluates to boolean TRUE releases the semaphore on request shutdown and an integer that evaluates to boolean FALSE does not. For 2 my guess is, I have to look up the documentation for a version prior to the introduction of this parameter and take that behavior as the default.
