Re: Unicode-compatible extensions

JC>> JC>>Not to hijack the topic, but if we are going to do something like this JC>>why not also provide these sorts of flags for things like extensions and JC>>thread safety? I'm not sure I have understood what you were meaning, but we have thread_safe and debug flags in extension structure, so I thing the good way would be to add one more flag - e.g., unicode_support - to this structure, and make ZEND_EXTENSION macro to set it to 0, and new ZEND_UNICODE_EXTENSION() to set it to 1. So, by default all extensions would not support Unicode. If you want it to support unicode you (if needed) fix whatever needs to be fixed and then replace ZEND_EXTENSION with ZEND_UNICODE_EXTENSION. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
