Re: Fwd: Shared memory functions in 2 different sections?

Quoting Derick Rethans <d.rethans@jdimedia.nl>: > Hello, > > there are 2 different sesions because of this: > - The functions in shmop.xml are more low level shared memory functions > than the ones in sem.xml. I gathered that from looking at the description/code > - The functions in shmop.xml are only available when compiling > --with-shmop > - The functions in sem.xml are available when cmopiling --with-sysvshm This is a point that it should be clear in the documentation. From the point of view of a user, having them in different places could be confusing, even though it makes sense from the point of view of development and code. I will add sentences clarifying this difference in both XML files, but still think that we could merge them into one module or perhaps rename the new shm_* functions. The naming of the functions is what will generate confusion, because if I were just using PHP, (not looking at the code, etc.) I will not expect to have two different modules with the similar naming conventions. > - The shmop.xml was written by the authors of the shmop extensions, so > it made sense to me not to add them to sem.xml Will CC them too about this topic.
