Question by one of the PHP developers
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/7865
Apache mpm_winnt uses a single control process which launches a single
child process which in turn creates threads to handle requests. Since
the child process is not forked, but rather spawned, and the control
process is never involved in request handling, there is no need to
power up PHP for the control process. Besides not doing this saves
some resources, we no longer have to deal with potential re-attaching
to OPcache shared memory which avoids issues due to ASLR, and paves the
way to further improvements (such as preloading support for Apache
mpm_winnt).
Possibly, a problem with that exact implementation is that it assumes that mpm_winnt is always used on Windows, what might be wrong. Maybe someone knowlegable with Apache on Windows can clarify whether alternative MPMs might be used there, and if so, suggest a better way to detect that (i.e. is there a respective macro we could use in favor of PHP_WIN32)? |

| Think that you should also post on the dev list. |

Which dev list? PHP internals or httpd dev? The latter, I suppose. |

| Yes Httpd-dev. William Rowe follows this, and I think he knows the most of the windows internals. |
