Subject: 64 bit RFC, #2 and #3 yes

Hi,

as the concerns on the BC breach by zpp and macros changes are huge, we've
invented the below to make the essential change only visible.

This branches have zpp and macros change reverted (like #2 and #3 had
resulted yes), only the necessary 64 improvement is in place.

PHP core, zpp and macros reverted to the state of mainstream
https://github.com/weltling/php-src/tree/str_size_and_int64_old_names

Diff of the branch with old names to master
http://belski.net/phpz/str_size_and_int64_old_names.diff


An extension ported and fully worky with 5.3/4/5 and str_size_and_int64
branch, diff
https://github.com/weltling/phurple/compare/str_size_and_int64

The same ext how it looks now (not using the new zpp placeholders)
https://github.com/weltling/phurple


A sample extension generated with ext_skel from str_size_and_int64 branch
with several usage examples, worky also wit h5.3/4/5
https://github.com/weltling/str_size_and_int64_example/blob/master/str_size_and_int64.c#L47

The sample ext diff to the current mainstream base
https://github.com/weltling/str_size_and_int64_example/compare/str_size_and_int64_revert


Were this an acceptable tradeoff for this RFC to make it, one could still
decide it in favor of 5.6. The worries and wishes are not reasonless,
which is clear. However I think to strike a compromise is important to
keep balance.

Regards
