behavior/API is as follows:
1) To close a persistent use php_stream_pclose(), it will close the stream
and remove it from the persistent list.
2) Inside PHP code only explicit fclose() will close persistent streams,
all other actions such as unset() or assigning a value to stream handle
will not.
3) Regular streams can still be closed by either fclose(), unset() or an
assignment of a value to the stream handler.
Make contexts auto-registered, ensures userland contexts
and C API contexts are both dealt with on request shutdown.
Also brings contexts in keeping with streams which are already
auto-registered.
Main Changes:
- Implement a socket transport layer for use by all code that needs to open
some kind of "special" socket for network or IPC.
- Extensions can register (and override) transports.
- Implement ftruncate() on streams via the ioctl-alike option interface.
- Implement mmap() on streams via the ioctl-alike option interface.
- Implement generic crypto API via the ioctl-alike option interface.
(currently only supports OpenSSL, but could support other SSL toolkits,
and other crypto transport protocols).
Impact:
- tcp sockets can be overloaded by the openssl capable sockets at runtime,
removing the link-time requirement for ssl:// and https:// sockets and
streams.
- checking stream types using PHP_STREAM_IS_SOCKET is deprecated, since
there are now a range of possible socket-type streams.
Working towards:
- socket servers using the new transport layer
- mmap support under win32
- Cleaner code.
# I will be updating the win32 build to add the new files shortly
# after this commit.
This breaks user-space filters (for the time being), and those
weird convert.* filters in ext/standard/filters.c
The filters stack has been separated into one chain for read and one chain
for write.
The user-space stream_filter_append() type functions currently only operate
on the read chain. They need extending to work with the write chain too.
