i have the following code to register class constants :

void register_class_long_constant_ex(zend_class_entry *ce, char *key, uint
key_len, long lval)
{
 HashTable *ht = &(ce)->constants_table;
 zval *tmp;
 MAKE_STD_ZVAL(tmp);
 ZVAL_LONG(tmp, lval);
 zend_hash_update(ht, key, key_len, (void *) &tmp, sizeof(zval *), NULL);
}

on shutdown, i get a report of a leak at MAKE_STD_ZVAL, once for each
constant defined. am i doing something wrong, or is the class constant table
not properly destructed ?

You should use internal classes and do everything that needs memory
with malloc/realoc/free instead of the e functions. The problem is the shutdown
sequence.

Marcus,
  thanks for responding. im confused about what you mean by internal classes
though. do you have a basic example ?

If you use any of the follwoing functions (as you should do):
ZEND_API zend_class_entry *zend_register_internal_class(zend_class_entry 
*class_entry TSRMLS_DC);
ZEND_API zend_class_entry *zend_register_internal_class_ex(zend_class_entry 
*class_entry, zend_class_entry *parent_ce, char *parent_name TSRMLS_DC);
ZEND_API zend_class_entry *zend_register_internal_ns_class(zend_class_entry 
*class_entry, zend_class_entry *parent_ce, zend_namespace *ns, char 
*ns_name TSRMLS_DC);
ZEND_API zend_namespace *zend_register_internal_namespace(zend_namespace 
*ns TSRMLS_DC);

then you can't use any of emallo/erealloc/efree thats all you must know.
