main/main.c - php_module_startup && additional modules

Sounds like a good idea. Can you put a patch together which we can review?

Hi !

I'm writing my own sapi module and I'd like register 2 additional modules
calling php_module_startup.
I've noticed that it is imposible because

int php_module_startup(sapi_module_struct *sf, zend_module_entry
*additional_modules, uint num_additional_modules)

is calling
php_startup_extensions(&additional_modules, num_additional_modules);

which signature is

int php_startup_extensions(zend_module_entry **ptr, int count)

php_startup_extensions expects array of pointers, while php_module_startup
gets array of structures which is not convertable to
array of pointers in such way. It works only when num_additional_modules
equals to 0 or 1.

how about adding

zend_module_entry *start_extensions[num_additional_modules];
for (i=0;i<num_additional_modules;i++)
start_extensions[i]=&additional_modules[i];

and passing start_extensions instead of &additional_modules to
php_startup_extensions ?
pros:

• works fine,
• no change in method signature
  cons:
• you have to build array of structures to pass it to
  php_startup_module while it is common to have single pointers to
  zend_module_entry structures

Of course it's better to change php_module_startup interface, while it is
not often used. It would be easier to create array of pointers than copying
structs to single array. Any way something should be done.
