Today, zend extensions and modules have different features they support. I'm curious why this split came to be. Why did they need to be different types of shared objects?
I am tentatively thinking about proposing for PHP 8.2 or 9.0 that the `zend_extension` struct holds a `zend_module_entry` by value or by pointer so that we can stop doing the janky hybrid extension tricks. I need to know a bit about the history here to make sure we don't accidentally regress on some point when doing this sort of thing. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
