This is certainly a much better demonstration of how the optimizer should work. > About runkit & friends, I wouldn't worr much about them.

This is probably true of runkit. However, I would be careful what you remove for extra freedom. There is very likely PHP code out there that relies (possibly by accident) on some edge cases. > P.S.: I'll try to meet with Paul in PLDI (in a week) and chat about these > kinds of things. Is anyone else comming that wants to join the discussion? You should probably mention this is in Dublin. Some of the IBM Toyko researches who work on (or maybe close to) Project Zero will be there, and might have interesting ideas. They have a paper on PHP memory usage.
