A `BSTR` is similar to a `zend_string`; it stores the length of the
string just before the actual string, and thus the string may contain
NUL bytes. However, `php_com_olestring_to_string()` is supposed to
deal with arbitrary `OLECHAR*`s which may not be `BSTR`s, so we
introduce `php_com_bstr_to_string()` and use it for the only case where
we actually have to deal with `BSTR`s which may contain NUL bytes.
Contrary to `php_com_olestring_to_string()` we return a `zend_string`,
so we can save the re-allocation when converting to a `zval`.
We also cater to `php_com_string_to_olestring()` not being binary safe,
with basically the same fix we did for `php_com_olestring_to_string()`.
Firstly, we avoid returning NULL from the get_property handler, but
instead return an empty HashTable, which already prevents the crashes.
Secondly, since (de-)serialization obviously makes no sense for COM,
DOTNET and VARIANT objects (at least with the current implementation),
we prohibit it right away.
The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.
This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.
the search interface sucks).
Expand the proxy object so it can handle psuedo array style properties.
ASP/VB code like this:
headObj.Attribute("RID") = rid
can be expressed like this in PHP:
$headObj->Attribute['RID'] = $rid;
In theory, this feature can be used for "multi dimensional" properties:
headObj.Attribute("RID", "Foo") = rid;
like this:
$headObj->Attribute['RID']['Foo'] = $rid;
