Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] 5.3 feature freeze rapidly approaching
From: php_lists@realplain.com ("Matt Wilmas")

Hi Lukas, all,

Don't know if my two Zend-related patches can be used, or how much time
there is to add them (after alpha 1...?).  Waiting to hear about "No runtime
fetching of built-in global constants."  And the second, "Some string
changes/optimizations," I'm sure it's fine to update the syntax highlighting
and remove the duplicate NOWDOC-related things (pretty trivial).  Just
wondering if the removal of the INIT_STRING opcode is acceptable.

Otherwise...  1) As far as any of those re2c issues, *I* don't know about
fixing them, and the few extra scanner tweaks/optimizations I said I had in
mind can be done anytime.  2) There's a small bug (forever?) with handling
of numeric string array keys (of LONG_MAX/LONG_MIN).  Simple, will fix next,
since you mentioned bugs.  3) The change that was made to the DVAL_TO_LVAL()
macro, which I think should be reverted.  Will send a follow-up reminder in
a minute about that.

Finally, there are a couple small things I had in mind for a while to send
along sometime for opinions (haven't done any yet):

*) Some consistency updates for formatted print (printf) stuff -- userland
function and internal.  Been a long time since I looked at any of it, so not
sure about specifics!
*) A small heredoc syntax addition after seeing an old feature request.
*) Fix for old behavior/bug with preg_replace() and /e modifier where it
causes weird escaping of quotes.  Though this could mess up people that are
using their own workaround as I would have, unless it's a flag/option.

I know it may be too late for these things :*/, but just wanted to mention
them, and I'd still send them to the list if done...  I wouldn't consider
them major or dangerous.

Thanks Johannes and Lukas!


- Matt
