determine whether pass by ref is possible or pass by value is needed.
# This is usefull when functions take array or string parameters as
# expressions. In such a case force by ref is not applicable and the
# executor would copy the variable unnecessarily as soon as it is at least
# once referenced.
- Extensions which delete global variables need to use new special function
- delete_global_variable() (I'm about to rename it) to remove them.
- Will post to internals@ or via commit messages if there's anything else.
a) We specialize opcodes according to op_type fields. Each opcode has to
be marked with which op_type's it uses.
b) We support different execution methods. Function handlers, switch()
and goto dispatching. goto seems to be the fastest but it really
depends on the compiler and how well it optimizes. I suggest playing
around with optimization flags.
- Warning: Things might break so keep us posted on how things are going.
