Andi, is/was someone planning on looking into the problem of class constants for internal classes? i'll include a comment (from Moriyoshi) in our project as a reference /* * XXX: zend_initialize_class_data() is totally mess! because it * virtually doesn't take it into account that the constants of * internal classes are persistently allocated while they will actually * be destroyed by the normal ZVAL_PTR_DTOR() which accepts zvals * allocated by emalloc(). * That's why I prepared my own zval destructors. But this workaround is * not safe yet because all the symbols bound dynamically by the Zend engine * are supposed to be released before the destruction of class entries * registered by extensions at the engine shutdown. * So this extension has to be linked statically to the PHP runtime for now. * .. :( */ that's the only outstanding issue i have personally with the beta. otherwise the current CVS works well. ive tested the new read/write dimension hooks, object level iterators, as well as casting, and they work as expected. l0t3k "Andi Gutmans" <andi@zend.com> wrote in message news:5.1.0.14.2.20031016174936.02ffdc98@127.0.0.1... > Hey, > > I'd like to release Beta 2 at the end of the week after next (30th of > October).
