polyfill is not a drop-in replacement for php extension

[muawijhe]

Hi!

I just released a library to handle Tree data structures using Ds Deque class ho handle dynamic increase/decrease of childrens.

What I found interesting is the following:

• before installing the extension on TravisCI unit-tests didn't work
• after installing the extension everything came back to normal.

During the development I used the extension, perhaps because I am a bit nostalgic of C++ routines and also because I believe that it is more efficient as behind the hood uses dynamic lists instead of php arrays...

However, I cannot find the problem at the moment, but I start by creating this issue.

Later I'll try myself to dig inside your project to understand why I got an infinite recursion when using Php version instead of C++ extension.

For the ones interesting in the library I was talking about, have a look here:

With my best regards

Hi @muawijhe, do you have any further information about this?

Hi Rudi Thanks for your reply, it is easy to verify what function is not compliant with the c++ module.

Just ru the unit test of the project:

With the c++ module it works while with your php replacement didn't.

I believe there is a discrepancy between functionality on data structure when handlers are used.
