Description:
------------
when it gots very small 3rd argument, mktime() performs 1000 times slower than ordinary case.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$mt0 = microtime(true);
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++){
  $unixtime = mktime(9,0,-2147483647,1,1,1970);
}
$mt1 = microtime(true);
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++){
  $unixtime = mktime(9,0,2147483646,1,1,1970);
}
$mt2 = microtime(true);
printf("%.6f\n%.6f\n", $mt1-$mt0, $mt2-$mt1);

// This will output
// 5.139942
// 0.000707
// on my machine

Actual result:
--------------
see reproduce code

I'm sorry, reproduce code depends on my timezone. Replace code as below:

  $unixtime = mktime(9,0,-2147483647,1,1,1970);

to

  $unixtime = gmmktime(0,0,-2147483647,1,1,1970);

and

  $unixtime = mktime(9,0,2147483646,1,1,1970);

to

  $unixtime = gmmktime(0,0,2147483646,1,1,1970);

[PATCH]

I've created a patch [1] which resolves the performance issue. 

do_range_limit() did a na?ve factoring approach when passed a negative offset. I've implemented the same factoring that is used for positive values. All the tests pass.

The patch is against CVS 5.3.

Duplicate of bug #45822

This bug is not same as #45822.

This report explains the problem about the performece of mktime(), while #45822 is about endless loop in datetime parser.

Martin's patch looks like good, but is not perfect. There are still slow examples. Such as:

<?php gmmktime(0,0,0,1-12*(int)(2147483647/12),1,1970+(int)(2147483647/12));

I noticed this is fixed on PHP 5.2.10. Thanks a lot.
