Notice that with this patch, the encode_max_depth global is no more used, so can be removed in 7.2.

This will actually break the extensions that used that global to set max depth before. So the actual fix to have it exactly the same as before is to just set the global in json_encode user func.

So you prefer to keep some "undefined" behavior ? ;)

Well I prefer not to break BC for internal API in the last RC and try to have exactly the same behaviour as it was in 7.0. I tried to do that before but forgot on fact that it should be also changed when calling json_encode user function. It was always dependent on that global from what I see (unless I missed something).

That being said I think it's worth it to consider changes in the json internal API in 7.2 which I also hope to propose. I was thinking more about exposing json_encoder struct but you and Julien might be right that this would be more consistent.

AT least, using a correct initial value (GINIT) could be applied in 7.0/7.1 to avoid the "undefined" behavior (having to run json_encode once to have the global value set)
