Hi Dmitry,

There were a number of build problems caused by my PR
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/4678https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/4678#issuecomment-532204164

Today I got another report from Remi
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/f633c347574c0d814050b4bf2493e0cac6a5988c
Although, the patch makes visible performance improvement, it's
probably better to revert it and all the related fixes for PHP-7.4.

I think we should revert it (and the related) for PHP 7.4 indeed. We
have plenty of time for PHP 8 to see if we can properly address it
there. And now is not the time to be experimental with the
soon-to-be-released PHP 7.4.0.

cheers,
Derick
