If then you go for forward declarations also "class SomeClassName; /* no block after ; */" you'd gain a bit: - being able to use upcoming perl 6 compiler namely parrot (if someone wants to do the work). Full support with upcoming php idl compiler. But we have to hear about that from the author. - moving all inheritance to compile time - already a tiny bit of a spead increase - together with apc or some other cache another bit of a speed increase. On the contray you'd loose some flexibilty (not that i'd like it buut others do) and btw php is the only language in use i knwo of which is capable of this. best regards marcus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
