Description
In ZTS, all requests run inside the same process, so there's no need for coordination between different processes.
This means that a non-SHM memory model could be used, and a lock file could be replaced by a regular mutex.
This would be beneficial for applications that run exclusively in ZTS and create userland threads, such as PocketMine-MP. PocketMine already uses ZTS and opcache CLI in most places, but it's currently unable to assume opcode caching is always available due to some platforms restricting access to certain lockfile features and SHM, such as Android.
PocketMine has a lot of users who insist on running servers on their mobile devices for some reason, so they'd stand to benefit :)
Since classes and op_arrays in general are non-thread-safe by default, threading extensions benefit a ton from Opcache since Opcache makes op_arrays and many other structures thread-safe by design, so they don't need to be copied. However, because Opcache uses features that are restricted on some platforms - features which are not necessary when running in ZTS mode and creating user threads - the likes of ext-pmmpthread still have to copy-paste large amounts of code from zend_persist.c to provide this functionality if Opcache is not available. If Opcache had a non-SHM memory model that didn't require lockfiles, mmap or any other fancy stuff, this would allow my threading extension to assume Opcache will always be available and caching code, which would potentially allow me to delete an insane amount of code and massively reduce the maintenance burden of the extension.
I don't know if there might be some advantages for ZTS in general (perhaps lower overhead?) but this doesn't seem like a hard change in any case as far as I can understand, so I thought I'd float the suggestion.

調査の方向性
まず、Opcache の現在の SHM、lockfile、mmap の動作を ZTS パスと併せて追跡します。この issue では具体的なファイルやテストは指定されていません。完了条件は、通常の mutex を使用する、機能する非 SHM の ZTS メモリモデルが実現され、制限された lockfile や共有メモリ機能を使用せず、関連するプラットフォームの動作が検証されていることです。
