This is so that we can work around the signature change in the get_method
overloaded object handler in our portable extensions.
Yes, you could argue that the zend api number needs bumping, but then you could
argue which one to bump, as neither of them is specific or generic enough.
Besides all that, the PHP API number really needs a good old bump anyway.
* all internal use of sprintf, snprintf and the like will always
use the . as thousands seperator (if php.h is included only!).
* echo, printf() and sprintf() always render locale-aware
* added the %F modifier for non-locale aware rendering for floats
#on some *nix systems sleep() is implemented with SIGALRM. When SIGALRM
#interrupts sleep() it returns the number of seconds that has to be slept
#till the number of seconds wanted by the script. Sleep() on Windows is
# void.
We avoid the problem by using poll(2).
On systems without poll(2) (older bsd-ish systems, and win32), we emulate
poll(2) using select(2) and check for valid descriptors before attempting
to access them via the descriptor sets.
If an out-of-range descriptor is detected, an E_WARNING is raised suggesting
that PHP should be recompiled with a larger FD_SETSIZE (and also with a
suggested value).
Most uses of select(2) in the source are to poll a single descriptor, so
a couple of handy wrapper functions have been added to make this easier.
A configure option --enable-fd-setsize has been added to both the unix and
win32 builds; on unix we default to 16384 and on windows we default to 256.
Windows FD_SETSIZE imposes a limit on the maximum number of descriptors that
can be select()ed at once, whereas the unix FD_SETSIZE limit is based on the
highest numbered descriptor; 256 should be plenty for PHP scripts under windows
(the default OS setting is 64).
The win32 specific parts are untested; will do that now.
Register filters as resources when
instantiated by stream_filter_(ap|pre)pend().
Export php_stream_filter_flush() internal function to wind buffered data
out of a particular filter until consumed by a later filter or sent to
stream->readbuffer or stream->ops->write()
