Good evening,
Since I don’t want this to languish as a ‘Draft’ forever, despite the patch being incomplete,
I am finally putting the Big Integer Support RFC “Under Discussion”.
The RFC can be found here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/bigint
The patch is, as I mentioned, incomplete. Additionally, there are quite a few matters left to be
decided (see Open Questions). However, I think I should put this formally under discussion now.
Any help with the patch (largely just updating extensions and the mountains of tests these changes
break, though later I will need to deal with opcache) would be appreciated.
Thanks!
