Instead add RETURN_COPY(_VALUE) macros will the expected behavior.
RETURN_ZVAL doesn't make any sense since PHP 7, but has stuck
around, probably because the alternative was to write directly to
the return_value variable.
This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.
A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.
This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.
With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.
Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.
Adds support for the Transparent Application Failover Callback.
The php_oci_connection struct got a char* added which will contain the
callback function, it should be set to PHP_OCI_TAF_DISABLE_CALLBACK at
the end of a php request for permanent connections so that, if a TAF
callback occurs, no userspace function will be called.
Maybe add support for registering object functions (via array),
currently the register function only accepts a string. I didn't know how
to implement it correctly. As a failover occurs very rarely it might be
better to not keep the cache when saving the zend_fcall_info.
Things to do
[ ] config.m4 needs to compile oci8_failover.c
[ ] Check if correctly implemented (especially for multithreading)
[ ] Add support for registering callback function via array
