Description:
------------
According to 
http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php

zend.assertions	 is PHP_INI_ALL

In spite of this fact my script generates php warninig
"Warning: zend.assertions may be completely enabled or disabled only in php.ini"

-------------
My info

aim-server[~/tmp]$ php -i |grep -i assert
zend.assertions => -1 => -1
assert.active => 1 => 1
assert.bail => 0 => 0
assert.callback => no value => no value
assert.exception => 0 => 0
assert.quiet_eval => 0 => 0
assert.warning => 1 => 1
aim-server[~/tmp]$ 
aim-server[~/tmp]$ php -v

Expected result:
----------------

Actual result:

Indeed, there is obviously a contradiction in the code:
<https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.0.5RC1/Zend/zend.c#L121> vs.
<https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.0.5RC1/Zend/zend.c#L132>.

This is how it's supposed to work. You can't change from or to a -1 assertion level at runtime, because it controls compile-time behavior. If you want to retain the ability to change the assertion level at runtime, you should be using zend.assertions=0 in your ini, instead of zend.assertions=-1.

Please, do not break an ability to enable asserts from php code.

In some case, developers do not have a write access to the php.ini file.

This old debug code does not work after upgrade to PHP7 without 

//Enable assertions
if (defined('DEVELOPMENT_MODE')) {
    // ini_set('zend.assertions', 1); // does not work without php.ini corrections
    assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE,   true);
    assert_options(ASSERT_BAIL,     false);
    assert_options(ASSERT_WARNING,  false);
    assert_options(ASSERT_CALLBACK, 'func_assert_failure_handler');
} else {
    assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE,   false);
}

Oops! Of course. Actually, the error message makes that clear
("... completely ...").

> Please, do not break an ability to enable asserts from php code.

As Nikita pointed out, enabling assertions during runtime is
*impossible*, if zend.assertions = -1.

However, as the documentation isn't very clear about this issue,
I'm changing to doc bug.
