Well, by that logic you would be fine with:
#define TIME_CALL sapi_get_request_time(TSRMLS_C)
and in tsrm_virtual_cwd.c
#ifndef TIME_CALL
define TIME_CALL time(0)
#endif
...
t = CWDG(realpath_cache_ttl)?TIME_CALL:0;
Theoretically yes, that could work, but:
that makes it environment-dependent instead of explicitly-dependent, and
also way harder to debug.
Environmental side-effects like that are nasty.
Exactly. So I'd propose to think how to do it right - not excluding taking the whole cache & system-dependant filesystem things out of TSRM. They do not really related to the rest of TSRM and could be abstracted same way as open/output/error functions are abstracted.
