Hi Alexey,

Not sure what the exact problem is, or if this is related, but in your
loc_set() function's zend_hash_add() calls, you have sizeof(HashTable) and
sizeof(zval).  Shouldn't both of those be sizeof(HashTable *) ? :-)

Hi.

I am trying to make my first php extension :)
I am sorry, if the question would be too newbiesh, but I just couldn't
find a more correct place to ask

here is the code:
http://loccache.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/loccache.c

I am trying to do the following:
at the minit-phase I am allocating a persistent HashTable
extension has 4 funcitons:
     * loc_set($namespace, $varname, $value); // stores $value
     * loc_get($namespace, $varname) // returns $value from storage
     * loc_isset($namespace, $varname) // returns bool
     * loc_unset($namespace, $varname) // removes varname from storage
during loc_set, I chech if there is "$namespace" item in my persistent
hashtable, and if there isn't, I create it as a child hashtable
$varname is a key in that second HashTable and $value is the value

something like:
$big_persistent_hash = array(
      $namespace => array(
          $varname => $value
      )
);

extension build and even tends to work... kinda..

unfortunately, persistent values are not too persistent in my case, and i
keep getting memory errors.
I would be grateful for any help. the source code is not too big :)
