You completely changed the subject. I made no mention of opcode cache complexity. As far as I am concerned, the way to handle opcode cache simplification is to attack it from both ends. A lot of the tricks that need to be done in APC are because the compiler isn't really geared towards opcode caching. To really simplify APC we need to simplify the compiler and obviously make the corresponding changes to the executor. The things you want to remove from APC are superficial things and are not the root cause of the complexity. Things like the compiler spitting out context-sensitive op_arrays (see the MAKE_NOP() tricks in zend_compile.c) really make life difficult for an opcode cache. But yes, I completely agree that this is a much more interesting problem that I think we should be working on rather than more OO candy. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
