I see your viewpoint from a architectural/design perspective and they are valid, but I think the impact and design could be lightened with some simple rules of precedence. I think it would be fair to say, autoloader will not be called on a function like strpos, or any builtin compiled extension. Only once those are cycled through will autoloader for functions be called. At this point the performance penalty doesn't exist, because at this point the program execution would have halted with a fatal error anyways. -Chris -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
