Subject: zend naming conflict
From: mosdoron@netvision.net.il (moshe doron)

shalom,

i'm writing php extension for  allegro
(http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/) that hopfeully 'll go somewhere
soon into pecl. allegro is cross platform grafix library so in addition to
the gaming capabilities, we have here chance using it as base to native php
gui.

the problem i have is that both zend and allegro define empty_string. so i
had to replace zend & php empty_string into ze_empty_string. the
question are:
1. is used on so potential common name by zend is zend compatible naming
standards (if there are)?
2. is there any chance replacing the empty_string on zend & php core with
ze_empty_string or something other while defining something like:

#ifndef ALREADY_HAVE_EMPTY_STRING
#define empty_string ze_empty_string
#endif

for bc.

thanx
moshe.
