Question

Hi there, I'm writing an extension (it'll be opensource), something inspired in Python's ctypes (similar to http://pecl.php.net/package/ffi) In order to make things a bit interesting, I allow to register resources types from the userland (I don't know if this ok), and its destructor is a function callback from the userland. More or less like this, <?php use Ctypes\Resource; use Ctypes\Library; use CTypes\Type; // Create new Resource Type $memory = new Resource("memory"); // load library $lib = new Library("/lib64/libc.so.6"); // create function proxies $malloc = $lib->getFunction("malloc", /* return */ $memory, /* prototype */ array(Type::tInteger)); $free = $lib->getFunction("free", NULL, array($memory)); // tell how to destroy the $memory resouces $memory->setDestructor($free); $memory = $malloc(250); /* do the malloc */ unset($memory); // This will call the $free. ?> Anyways, I'm having issues while I'm destroying the objects. It usually works, unless the program ends with an exception, then for some reason, my callback is released before the resources (according to valgrind, zend_hash_graceful_reverse_destroy is destroying my resources). That's what I think is the issue but it could be another thing also, I'm just a C wannabe developer :-) My question is if there is there a way to release (zval *) a RSHUTDOWN if it wasn't released yet? I could also call to Z_ADDREF_P to the resources when I create them, but that would mean that all resources will be destroyed at RSHUTDOWN, that won't be good for cli apps. Cheers. -- Cesar D.
