Re: Improved zend_string API

Hi Francois, From the source code review, I don't see any problems. May be too aggressive usage of inline functions in zend_string implementation, but I hope, it shouldn't make any harm. I'll need to check, if C compilers are smart enough to produce good optimized code after inlining. In general ZSTR_xxx API is more consistent to me. I would even add ZSTR_...() twins for all zend_string_...(), and recommend to use ZTR_xxx names. Then we may decide to remove zend_string_..., STR_... and other name inconsistencies (in the future). In any case, I'll be able to test the PR only on Monday. Anatol, I would suggest to accept this, like an additional more consistent API (keeping the old names). But if it makes any troubles, delays or significant risks for 7.0 release process, I would say no. Thanks. Dmitry.
