Here are the signal changes from the 5.3 branch that optimizes signal
handler registration and switches from longjmp to siglongjmp in order
to make signal mask handling consistent across different UNIX operating
systems.
checking for both (class from current namespace and internal class)
- improved class fetching performance
- fixed wrong (lowercase) name passed to __autoload() from call_user_func()
- Fixed bug #36214 (__get method works properly only when conditional operator is used).
- Fixed bug #39449 (Overloaded array properties do not work correctly).
- Fixed bug #39990 (Cannot "foreach" over overloaded properties).
- use the same type (int) for zval.value.usr.len and zval.value.str.len
- use union "zstr" as char*/UChar* mixture instead of void*
- Z_UNISTR() and Z_UNILEN() no longer check for Z_TYPE()
- nuke int32_t from ZE (not finisned)
Now IS_BINRAY data type is removed and IS_STRING starts behave as IS_BINARY in unicode mode. IS_STRING is incompatible with IS_UNICODE, so ALL functions should be improved to support unicode mode.
as a string.

# Note that "Object #<id>" is no longer afallback for debugging purpose use
# var_dump, which was made for debugging. If you used this to grab the id
# of an object you can never rely on this. For object storage look at SPL's
# ObjectStorage class.
#
# Note the signature change in the cast handler:
#
# int (*cast_t)(zval *readobj, zval *writeobj, int type, int should_free TSRMLS_DC);
# int (*cast_t)(zval *readobj, zval *retval, int type TSRMLS_DC);
# We should make this an inline function to prevent unnecessary calls to
# get classentry or requir that class_entry must return a valid class_entry
# which we do iirc anyway.
a) We specialize opcodes according to op_type fields. Each opcode has to
be marked with which op_type's it uses.
b) We support different execution methods. Function handlers, switch()
and goto dispatching. goto seems to be the fastest but it really
depends on the compiler and how well it optimizes. I suggest playing
around with optimization flags.
- Warning: Things might break so keep us posted on how things are going.
