Re: tsrm_ls

Hi, TSRM is the thread-safe resource manager. you can find it at the TSRM CVS module which should be at php-src/TSRM at your checkout. TSRM is a mechanism to hold thread safeglobal variables in an threaded environment. See articles about extension writing or the releavant books for more. A few pointers for material: http://www.zend.com/php/internals/extension-writing1.php#Heading9 Schlossnagle, George: Advanced PHP Programming (ISBN: 0672325616) Golemon, Sara: Extending and Embedding PHP (ISBN: 067232704X) btw. LS means "local storage", not list. johannes On Thursday 13 April 2006 10:20, Kamesh Jayachandran wrote: > Hi Richard, > I think LS=LIST > CC=Comma(,) Call (, tsrm_ls) > DC = Comma(,) Declare(, void ***tsrm_ls) > > With regards > Kamesh Jayachandran > > Richard Lynch wrote: > > I'm trying to grok PHP Source, and I suspect I've missed some > > "Beginner" guide somewhere. > > > > I'm looking at the TSRM*_* data types in the header files, and have > > backtracked as far as 'tsrm_ls' and then...
