From my understanding, I'd still need a new zval* for that. Any other > better ways? You generally don't want to use references. Rather, you can keep the same zval* pointer as long as you increment/decrement its refcount (Z_ADDREF_P/zval_ptr_dtor) so that it correctly keeps track of how many pointers are pointing to it. Unless I misunderstood what you're trying to do, it's that easy.
