PHP7变量在内核中存储方式

PHP7终于千呼万唤始出来，今天想通过查看源码看看变量中的存储方式，并计算剩了多少内存。

先看看PHP7（PHP5.3.17）之前变量的相关代码。

typedef unsigned int zend_object_handle;
typedef struct _zend_object_value {
        zend_object_handle handle;
        zend_object_handlers *handlers;
} zend_object_value;

typedef union _zvalue_value {
        long lval;                                      /* long value */
        double dval;                            /* double value */
        struct {
                char *val;
                int len;
        } str;
        HashTable *ht;                          /* hash table value */
        zend_object_value obj;
} zvalue_value;

struct _zval_struct {
        /* Variable information */
        zvalue_value value;             /* value */
        zend_uint refcount__gc;
        zend_uchar type;        /* active type */
        zend_uchar is_ref__gc;
};

在32位系统中一个变量的大小为16字节。

再看看PHP7中变量的相关代码。

typedef union _zend_value {
        zend_long         lval;                         /* long value */
        double            dval;                         /* double value */
        zend_refcounted  *counted;
        zend_string      *str;
        zend_array       *arr;
        zend_object      *obj;
        zend_resource    *res;
        zend_reference   *ref;
        zend_ast_ref     *ast;
        zval             *zv;
        void             *ptr;
        zend_class_entry *ce;
        zend_function    *func;
        struct {
                uint32_t w1;
                uint32_t w2;
        } ww;
} zend_value;

struct _zval_struct {
        zend_value        value;                        /* value */
        union {
                struct {
                        ZEND_ENDIAN_LOHI_4(
                                zend_uchar    type,                     /* active type */
                                zend_uchar    type_flags,
                                zend_uchar    const_flags,
                                zend_uchar    reserved)     /* call info for EX(This) */
                } v;
                uint32_t type_info;
        } u1;
        union {
                uint32_t     var_flags;
                uint32_t     next;                 /* hash collision chain */
                uint32_t     cache_slot;           /* literal cache slot */
                uint32_t     lineno;               /* line number (for ast nodes) */
                uint32_t     num_args;             /* arguments number for EX(This) */
                uint32_t     fe_pos;               /* foreach position */
                uint32_t     fe_iter_idx;          /* foreach iterator index */
        } u2;
};
