If there are no objections, I'll commit my patch when I get back home (30th of June). 2-way conversion would be perfect ;) There is no way to cast an array to an object of certain class, but it should not be a problem to add a function to convert array to fastarray. Want to make a patch yourself? Should be pretty easy to do, just don't forget to throw an exception on string key. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What's about naming it CArray or something similar? To reflect what it is, it is not a fast(er) hash table like our current array, it is a C-like array. I can live with any name, so feel free to choose whatever you like most. Though I'd like to be able to cast these arrays to PHP's arrays and we need to implement get_properties() handler for that.

I can't imagine anything faster (current FastArray can be optimized to use SIMD, if needed — that would just be "implementation detail") well.. the proper name, for current "FastArray" would be just "Array", but that name is already occupied by hash I don't like how "CArray" refers to C, because similiar constructs exist in many languages. maybe "FixedArray"? -- Alexey Zakhlestin http://blog.milkfarmsoft.com/

[PHP-DEV] FastArray, great addition
hi all, As you noticed already PHP finally got simple C-like array, thanks to Etienne and Tony for their great work! My only wish is to actually respect the informal decision we took a while back, to do not use "fast", "improved", "better" or similar wording in function or extension names. What's about naming it CArray or something similar? To reflect what it is, it is not a fast(er) hash table like our current array, it is a C-like array.
