## #45343 — Patrick ALLAERT — 2009-08-24T06:24:04+00:00

Hi list,

Apparently, function _php_math_basetolong at
http://lxr.php.net/source/php-src/ext/standard/math.c#802
isn't used anymore since Mon Sep 3 16:26:31 2001 UTC.

It was previously used by bindec, hexdec, octdec and base_convert
functions but has been replaced by _php_math_basetozval().

None of the PECL extension are using it either (at least in
http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/*/trunk/).

Any objection I remove it?

Hi,

even if no known extension uses it I won't remove it in 5.3 as it is a
break of ABI compatibility.

For 6 I assume one might remove it, especially as it doesn't know about
IS_UNICODE.
