 === Fiber Stacks === === Fiber Stacks ===
  
-Each fiber is allocated a separate C stack and VM stack on the heap. The C stack is allocated using ''mmap'' if available, meaning physical memory is used only on demand (if it needs to be allocated to a stack value) on most platforms. Each fiber stack is allocated a maximum of 8M if memory by default, settable with an ini setting ''fiber.stack_size''. Note that this memory is used for the C stack and is not related to the memory available to PHP code. VM stacks for each fiber are allocated in a similar way to generators and use a similar amount of memory and CPU. VM stacks are able to grow dynamically, so only a single VM page (4K) is initially allocated.+Each fiber is allocated a separate C stack and VM stack on the heap.

 +===== Future Scope =====
 +
 +The current implementation does not provide an internal API for fibers for PHP extensions. This RFC focuses on the user space fiber API. An internal fiber API will be added, collaborating with other internal developers and using feedback from PHP extension developers, including Swoole, so fibers can be created and controlled from PHP extensions. An extension may still optionally provide their own custom fiber implementation, but an internal API would allow the extension to use the fiber implementation provided by PHP.
