It helps :) It would be nice to have patch, I agree. I don't have luxury to write code that would not be used... I don't mind to have vote for proposed patch and improve, though. Is a patch must have requirement for RFC? I think it worth to agree what we should have, then decide/write code like timing safe string comparison. I wouldn't write number of timing safe functions to compare their performance unless it was decided to include. https://github.com/yohgaki/php-src/compare/PHP-5.6-rfc-hash-compare I hope you change your mind.
