In-depth understanding of php variable structure

// 1. zval typedef struct _zval_struct { zvalue_value value; zend_uint refcount__gc; zend_uchar type; zend_uchar is_ref__gc; } zval; // 2. zvalue_value typedef union _zvalue_value { long lval; // 用于 bool 类型、整型和资源类型 double dval; // 用于浮点类型 struct { // 用于字符串 char *val; int len; } str; HashTable *ht; // 用于数组 zend_object_value obj; // 用于对象 zend_ast *ast; // 用于常量表达式(PHP5.6 才有) } zvalue_value; // 3. zend_object_value typedef struct _zend_object_value { zend_object_handle handle; const zend_object_handlers *handlers; } zend_object_value; // 4. zend_object_handle typedef unsigned int zend_object_handle;
