Description

(and common tools distributed outside of pecl)

  • Download latest releases once
  • Install latest extension version and dump stubs using tool/make_stubs (limitation: excludes optional or platform specific features)
  • Prefer *.stub.php if available.
  • report inconsistencies with any functions on docs.php.net

Research direction

Start with tool/make_stubs and review how the latest PECL releases are downloaded and their stubs are generated. Compare available *.stub.php files and generated information with functions documented on docs.php.net, including the stated limitation around optional and platform-specific features. Done means inconsistencies are identified and reported, but the issue does not specify where reports or changes should be recorded.
