Expose mysqlnd API through all MySQL extensions

Hi all, I'm actually putting my head into ext/mysqlnd and I noticed weird things about its API. As you should know, ext/mysqlnd is a replacement for libmysql, that is, all our 3 MySQL-related extensions may use it, and it is done by default for 5.4 branch. However, I've been surprised that ext/mysqlnd expose its API through ext/mysqli only... - mysqli_get_client_stats() - mysqli_get_connection_stats() - mysqli_get_cache_stats() Those three functions are ext/mysqlnd related, they are #ifdef 'ed in the source code of ext/mysqli and not defined if ext/mysqli has been compiled against libmysql. There is a mismatch in the naming and the place here, those 3 functions should be part of ext/mysqlnd API, and be named mysqlnd_****(). What if I choose to only compile pdo_mysql (against mysqlnd) and not mysqli ?? I then would be able to use mysqlnd, but I would have access to its statistics, as its functions are part of ext/mysqli... Strange as well as embarrassing isn't it ? I then suggest to expose ext/mysqlnd API through itself (http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_3/ext/mysqlnd/php_mysqlnd.c#33) in php_mysqlnd.c or create a new php_mysqlnd_fe.c For the actual functions, please refer to http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_3/ext/mysqli/mysqli_nonapi.c#392 Second, I would suggest to add a function that would reset the global stat counter. The only way to do it actually is by passing in MINIT(), so by restarting PHP ; it may be useful, and not very hard to develop, to create a mysqlnd_stats_reset($someOptionsIfNeeded) function. Any ideas, comments ? Cheers, Julien
