Adding attributes to compile-time constants View as Markdown

Hi internals,

For the last few weeks, I've been working on a patch[1] that I just
uploaded that adds support for attributes on compile-time non-class
constants (those declared with const rather than via define()). The
patch has a memory leak that I have been unable to resolve, but
otherwise the functionality is there and seems to work. Is anyone
willing to help with the memory issue?

Separately, once the memory issue is fixed, would this need to go
through an RFC process?

Thanks,

I believe it would require an RFC, though I expect it would pass easily. I'm no help on the memory question though, I'm afraid.

Since it seems that this requires an RFC, I have created an account on
wiki.php.net with the username danielescherzer and kindly request edit
privileges so that I can create the RFC.
