Re: PHP 6.0 Wishlist

Andrei, it was controlled by an ini setting. there are certain APIs that take or return offsets, so translation was done in those instances depending on the setting. Here's an example (it's not currently implemented this way, though..) since my concern was only the extension, i didnt touch the engine itself.. pardon the formatting.... <code> /* {{{ proto long BreakIterator::next([long offset]) */ static ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO_EX(arginfo_breakiterator_next, 0, 0, 0) ZEND_ARG_INFO(0, offset) ZEND_END_ARG_INFO(); BREAKITERATOR_METHOD(next) { php_breakiterator_obj *obj = (php_breakiterator_object *)zend_object_store_get_object(getThis() TSRMLS_CC); BreakIterator *iter = (BreakIterator *)obj->ptr; UnicodeString *text = obj->text; long offset, result; if (0 == ZEND_NUM_ARGS()) { offset = (long)iter->next(); } else { long start = 0; if (FAILURE == zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "l", &start)) { return; } if (ICUG(codepoint_semantics)) { FROM_CODEPOINT_INDEX(text->getBuffer(), text->length(), start, offset); offset = (long)iter->next(offset); } else { offset = (long)iter->next(start); } } if (ICUG(codepoint_semantics)) { long result; TO_CODEPOINT_INDEX(text->getBuffer(), text->length(), offset, result); RETURN_LONG(result); } else { RETURN_LONG(offset); } } /* }}} */ </code> clayton "Andrei Zmievski" <andrei@gravitonic.com> wrote in message news:F269F06B-C34A-4BE0-A486-9C0AAC9CA2DF@gravitonic.com... > And this was controlled how and from where? > > -Andrei > > > On Aug 14, 2005, at 12:29 PM, <cshmoove@bellsouth.net> > <cshmoove@bellsouth.net> wrote: > >> Back in the early days of the extension, i had a request global >> ICUG(codepoint_semantics) which controlled this.
