Hi there,
OK, so overflows aren't very likely with MAX_LENGTH_OF_LONG set to 20, but I
found 3 places I think you'll want to change. :-)
Also, can MAX_LENGTH_OF_LONG be changed to be accurate on 32-bit platforms?
Is setting it to (sizeof(long) > 4 ? 20 : 11) acceptable? If
MAX_LENGTH_OF_LONG is truely accurate, I can use it to optimize
is_numeric_[string|unicode]() (and zend_u_strtod() too I think if it's not
otherwise rewritten), and it saves a few bytes of memory on 32-bit systems.
;-)
