When I'm freeing everything, I need to remove the ref count. Digging through the source code, I found Z_DELREF_P. Would this be the correct macro to call? Is there anything else to keep in mind when calling it? thx --- ## #60302 — Etienne Kneuss — 2012-04-24T23:28:35+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/60300#60302 · In reply to: #60300 Hi, On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 01:25, Yader Hernandez wrote: > Hello, > > In the extension I'm currently working on, I call add_index_zval and on > success, I call Z_ADDREF_P on the new zval. > > When I'm freeing everything, I need to remove the ref count.

You should use zval_ptr_dtor instead. it will delref and free in case the refcount hits 0. Best, > > thx -- Etienne Kneuss http://www.colder.ch
