Hi,
The attached patch (for PHP_5_3) implements the segmented argument_stack
that has the following advantages:
1) It fixes #43426 and other crashes which occur because of stack
reallocation.
2) The whole stack is never reallocated. So we don't have penalties
because of the while stack copying (it may be 1MB and more).
3) CPU stack usage reduced, because execute_data, Ts and CVs now are
stored in the same argument_stack. As result the probability of CPU
stack overflow is reduced.
4) func_num_args(), func_get_agr(), func_get_args(),
debug_print_backtrace() and exception's backtrace now always able to get
arguments. They didn't work before in case of incomplete "arguments
frame". For example: "foo(1, func_num_args());".
5) bench.php got about 1% speedup
I'm going to commit the patch into HEAD and PHP_5_3 on Thursday.
Any objections?
Thanks. Dmitry.
