## #80255 — Benjamin Eberlei — 2015-01-07T19:33:38+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/80255#80255

Hello everyone,

After discussion I am putting the RFC on turning gc_collect_cycles into a
function pointer to vote:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/gc_fn_pointer

Votes will end on 2015-01-21 19:31 (in 14 days).

The discussion feedback on PHP 7 extension API refactoring was incorporated
in the RFC with a proposal to include the function pointer AS-IS and make
it part of a potential refactoring later.

greetings
Benjamin

Sorry, I forgot to send a reminder, but given the results of 18-0 I think
this is ok.

The gc_fn_pointer RFC was accepted with 18-0! Thanks everyone :-)

Thanks Benjamin!

I've rebased my branch against master and created a PR:
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1023. If someone with Zend karma
would be so kind as to merge it, please, I'd appreciate it.

Alternatively, you may consider this my semi-annual reminder that I
don't have Zend karma and would like it. :)

Thanks,

Adam
