Subject: Different ways to collect an extension's functions.
From: rquadling@gmail.com (Richard Quadling)

Hi.

I'm looking into bug#52079 (missing lcfirst function from function index).

The cause of the bug is that the genfunclist / genfuncindex scripts
haven't been run in a while.

Whilst running them and fixing a small issue with ereg => preg, I
notice that in the results of genfunclist, there are 3 different ways
to collect an extensions functions ...

1) The majority use const (79 in total).

# const zend_function_entry apache_functions[] = {
# const zend_function_entry apache_functions[] = {
# const zend_function_entry basic_functions[] = {
# const zend_function_entry bcmath_functions[] = {
# const zend_function_entry birdstep_functions[] = {
...
# const zend_function_entry xsl_functions[] = {
# const zend_function_entry zend_funcs_aggregate[] = {
# const zend_function_entry zend_funcs_arrayaccess[] = {
# const zend_function_entry zend_funcs_iterator[] = {
# const zend_function_entry zend_funcs_serializable[] = {


2) The following use static.

# static zend_function_entry disabled_function[] = {
# static zend_function_entry mysqlnd_functions[] = {
# static zend_function_entry php_sqlite3_class_methods[] = {
# static zend_function_entry php_sqlite3_result_class_methods[] = {
# static zend_function_entry php_sqlite3_stmt_class_methods[] = {
# static zend_function_entry spl_funcs_SplFixedArray[] = {


3) The following don't use const or static.

# zend_function_entry enchant_functions[] = {
# zend_function_entry fileinfo_functions[] = {
# zend_function_entry intl_functions[] = {
# zend_function_entry litespeed_functions[] = {
# zend_function_entry phar_exception_methods[] = {
# zend_function_entry phar_functions[] = {
# zend_function_entry php_archive_methods[] = {
# zend_function_entry php_entry_methods[] = {
# zend_function_entry php_oci_functions[] = {


Regards,

Richard.
