Code

function user_role_permissions($roles = array()) {
  $cache = &drupal_static(__FUNCTION__, array());

  $role_permissions = $fetch = array();

        $role_permissions[$rid] = $cache[$rid];
      }
      else {
        // Add this rid to the list of those needing to be fetched.
        $fetch[] = $rid;
        // Prepare in case no permissions are returned.
        $cache[$rid] = array();
      }
    }

    if ($fetch) {
      // Get from the database permissions that were not in the static variable.
      // Only role IDs with at least one permission assigned will return rows.
      $result = db_query("SELECT rid, permission FROM {role_permission} WHERE rid IN (:fetch)", array(':fetch' => $fetch));

      foreach ($result as $row) {
        $cache[$row->rid][$row->permission] = TRUE;
      }
      foreach ($fetch as $rid) {
        // For every rid, we know we at least assigned an empty array.
        $role_permissions[$rid] = $cache[$rid];
