If used a shared extension, they will provoke an attempt to call the destructor after the module has been unloaded! Also, for all that is holy, do NOT initialize globals on MINIT (EXTNAME_G(var_ptr) = NULL), that won't work correctly in ZTS as it won't initialize the value in all threads.

 +The globals constructor and destructor are NOT execute per-request, they are part of the module startup/shutdown. The globals can store data across requests. If you need to do per-request operations to the globals, use module-activate and module-deactivate callbacks.
  
 Note: ZEND_MODULE_GLOBALS_CTOR_D will declare a function as receiving a zend_extname_globals*, not void* and zend_module_entry is supposed to contain a function pointer type that receives void*. I think this violates the C standard (the declarations are incompatible), but should however by safe since the arguments have the same size. Note: ZEND_MODULE_GLOBALS_CTOR_D will declare a function as receiving a zend_extname_globals*, not void* and zend_module_entry is supposed to contain a function pointer type that receives void*.
