Hi,
BTW: if all extension maintainers use the same naming convention ('phpng
> branch') it would make things somewhat easier.

I don't think that all maintainers will need two branches for that. At
least I don't want to have two branches and maintain the extension twice
:). For that reason I started working on the compatibility header that will
allow me to use the same code for 7 and 5. It's still very basic but it
already works with long, string and hash + some zval operations (accessors
mainly). You can see it on https://github.com/bukka/phpc/blob/master/phpc.h
. You can also see some examples on
https://github.com/bukka/php-extest/blob/master/extest_compat.c . As I said
it's just a start and there are still lots of issues and things that need
to be done but I believe that it's doable.
Of course it's not for everyone as some people won't like such macro
wrapper and some extension might be too complex for that. However there
will be extension that will be compilable for both versions so such
convention doesn't sound too good to me.
Cheers
Jakub
