Improving the coverage means creating tests that will solicit parts of code currently not activated by the existing tests.<br/> +<strong>Possible mentor(s)</strong>: (not yet assigned)</p> + +<h3>Automatic Code Checker</h3> <p><strong>Description</strong>: The PHP API has a couple of varargs functions that are error prone and may easily cause segfaults in PHP, especially on less used platforms. The list of such functions include zend_parse_parameters*(), zend_error() and a few others. Our current check script is made in PHP and is regex based.

This script is difficult to maintain and generates way too many false-positives.
