To help us in this, there's the PHP Native Interface RFC. It might be difficult to improve the Zend engine until extensions aren't so tightly coupled with the Zend API.

Hi! interesting, but am I the only one that we could also boost the performance of the Zend Engine, if we would throw out everything, except the PHP 1.0 features: functions, arrays, ints, floats and strings not that we should do that, I just think that the numbers are somehow misleading. They also removed refcounting from the language - meaning, as I understand from this: The project's biggest deviation from the PHP specification is probably that GC is no longer reference counting. That means that the object finalizer, when implemented, will not be called directly at the moment of object death, but at some later point. that they do not destroy objects at all currently. So these benchmarks don't mean much. But the idea is interesting, if they ever take it to actually working implementation. It's the kind of things that first 90% take 90% effort, and last 10% take another 90% effort. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
