Hi Chris, I've added notes for extension maintainers. I hope they will answer all your questions. Thanks. Dmitry. Christopher Jones wrote:

Hi Dmitry, Can update the RFC to explain the breakage and

It's clear from the patch. The same is explained in RFC in human language, but it's not so exact :)

The RFC should give enough explanation so (i) extension maintainers can immediately identify if their extension is going to be affected (ii) readers know where to look in the patch to get more details. If I understand what you implied later in your email, calls to zend_hash_copy should be replaced with calls to object_properties_init. Is this always true? Is this the only extension requirement? What happens if extensions don't do this - will it break or be a performance loss? I must be looking at a different RFC because there's nothing I can see that mentions any of these things. Chris
