## #18490 — Johannes Schlueter — 2005-08-27T12:34:49+00:00

Hi Andi et al.,

the attached patch adds the module registering an internal function to the 
zend_internal_function structure. This information can be (and is by this 
patch) used by the reflection API - currently it's quite hard to get the 
extension defining a function. I additionally used this information to make a 
more verbose error messages when redefining an internal function.

Please take a look at it and commit at will.

p.s. If the patch doesn't reach the list it's available at 
http://svn.schlueters.de/phpatches/HEAD/zend_function_module.diff, too.

p.p.s. In Steph's PAT directory is my ReflectionProptery::getLinenumber() 
patch still waiting, too ;-) http://www.zend.com/zend/week/pat/pat26.txt

Hi Johannes,

I think this patch is useful and I see no reason not to include it. 
Due to API breakage I suggest we only put this into HEAD.
