- php_logo_guid(), php_egg_logo_guid(), php_real_logo_guid() and
zend_logo_guid() have been removed
- Removal of Logo GUIDs
- extensions can't override zend_execute() any more, they should override
zend_execute_ex() instead. The EG(current_execute_data) is already
initialized in zend_execute_ex(), so for compatibility extensions
may need to use EG(current_execute_data)->prev_execute_data instead.
- removed EG(arg_types_stack), EX(fbc), EX(called_scope), EX(current_object)
- added op_array->nested_calls. It's calculated at compile time.
- added EX(call_slots). It is an array to store information about syntaticaly
nested calls (e.g. foo(bar())). It's preallocated together with execute_data.
- added EX(call) - pointer to a current calling function. Actually an
element of EX(call_slots)
- opcodes INIT_METHOD_CALL, ZEND_INIT_STATIC_METHOD_CALL,
ZEND_INIT_FCALL_BY_NAME, ZEND_INIT_NS_FCALL_BY_NAME use result.num as
an index in EX(call_slots)
- opcode ZEND_NEW uses extended_vallue as an index in EX(call_slots)
- opcoes ZEND_DO_FCALL and ZEND_DO_FCALL_BY_NAME use op2.num as
an index in EX(call_slots)
- added op_array->used_stack. It's calculated at compile time and the
corresponding stack space is preallocated together with execute_data.
ZEND_SEND* and ZEND_DO_FCALL* don't need to check for stack overflow
anymore.
- Removed execute_data->Ts field. The VM temporary variables always allocated
immediately before execute_data structure. Now they are accessed by offset
from the execute_data base pointer (instead of execute_data->Ts). Compiler
stores new offsets in op_array->opcodes[*].op?.num. You can use macros
EX_TMP_VAR() and EX_TMP_VAR_NUM() to access temp_variable by offset or
number. You can convert number to offset using EX_TMP_VAR_NUM(0, num) or
offset to number (EX_TMP_VAR_NUM(0,0)-EX_TMP_VAR(0,offset)).
- Removed execute_data->CVs field. The VM compiled variables always allocated
immediately after execute_data structure. Now they are accessed by offset
from the execute_data base pointer (instead of execute_data->CVs). You can
use macros EX_CV_NUM() to access compiled variables by number.

b. Lowercasing and locales

lowercasing according to locale rules and those that do ASCII lowercasing.
