- It's just for seeing if this would be an advantage to PHP in MT
- environments. If this is to become production material there is still
- a long way to go.
There are still a few problems such as includes and calling other functions
from internal functions which aren't seen (will have to think if and how to
fix this).
Also the main scripts filename isn't available. Need to think about that.
- It isn't complete yet but I want to work on it from another machine. It
- shouldn't break anything else so just don't try and use it.
- The following is a teaser of something that already works:
<?php
class MyClass
{
function hello()
{
print "Hello, World\n";
}
class MyClass2
{
function hello()
{
print "Hello, World in MyClass2\n";
}
}
}
import function hello, class MyClass2 from MyClass;
MyClass2::hello();
hello();
?>
Note: only standard Zend objects are working now. This is definitely going to
break custom objects like COM, Java, etc. - this will be fixed later.
Also, this may break other things that access objects' internals directly.
- within a class scope.
- Fix the Zend.dsp project a bit. It seems someone pretty much killed it
- when commiting their own personal configuration. Please be careful in
- future.
Advantages:
- Smaller memory footprint for the op arrays
- Slightly faster compilation times (due to saved erealloc() calls and faster zend_op
initialization)
- include_once() & require_once() share the same file list
- Consistency between include() and require() - this mostly means that return()
works inside require()'d files just as it does in include() files (it used to
be meaningless in require()'d files, most of the time (see below))
- Made require() consistent with itself. Before, if the argument was not a constant
string, require() took the include() behavior (with return()).
- Removed lots of duplicate code.
Bottom line - require() and include() are very similar now; require() is simply an include()
which isn't allowed to fail. Due to the erealloc() calls for large op arrays, require()
didn't end up being any faster than include() in the Zend engine.
