The gain is simple - today, assertions have costs so people that are performance-conscious (rightly or wrongly) use them less than they could. We can make them cost-less in production, while preserving their advantages in the test environments (also makes code easier to follow btw if asserts show which invariants are being enforced). Unit tests only provide for assertions in test code, but cost-less asserts can help you ensure that code works the way you intended all the way through, without paying for that with performance. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
