thats what i started with when creating the function tables :)

but right now it seems to have problems with some files from
the satellite extension producing lots of empty lines and
entires containg ' NULL}'

and both genfunclist and the function table generation code
have problems with functions returning objects

see for example the dir() function in ext/standard/dir.c

it returns a object with methods read(), rewind() and close()
defined by

static zend_function_entry php_dir_class_functions[] = {
        PHP_FALIAS(close, closedir, NULL)
        PHP_FALIAS(rewind, rewinddir, NULL)
        PHP_FALIAS(read, readdir, NULL)
        {NULL, NULL, NULL}
};

right now there is no way for genfunclist to recognice that
theese PHP_FALIAS entries are *not* meant for global use

what about defining two additional macros like PHP_ME()
and PHP_MALIAS() with the same functionality as PHP_FE() and
PHP_FALIAS() that tell by their name that they are meat for
object method entries and write

static zend_function_entry php_dir_class_functions[] = {
        PHP_MALIAS(close, closedir, NULL)
        PHP_MALIAS(rewind, rewinddir, NULL)
        PHP_MALIAS(read, readdir, NULL)
        {NULL, NULL, NULL}
};

instead?

this way object methods could be distinguished from real
functions easyle leading to a correct funclist.txt and
improving the function tables
