Yes, but Andi is desperate to have at least something else than just
unicode support in PHP 6. No worries, this will go in 5.3.

This is based on our experience with making changes in the memory
manager (significantly smaller changes than this one) and how long it
takes to stabilize them.

2007-08-29 Thread Andi Gutmans
Sebastian,
Just so you guys don't get the wrong idea, I have a garbage collector
book sitting on my shelf which I bought 2-3 years ago as I was thinking
of implementing this. Unfortunately I hit some issues and edge cases and
didn't have enough time to spend on this. So I'm definitely not against
a garbage collector. It's something I think would be very good for PHP
even if it were optional.

I do think though that we need an opportunity to review it, test it 
benchmark it. Again, whoever has done work in his life on memory
managers knows how sensitive they are. 

David, do you have a patch against PHP 5.2? For some reason I don't
think I got the updated patch although Derick said you sent it out.

Thanks,
Andi

  Then we should make sure that the garbage collector goes into HEAD
 ASAP,
  should we not?

Have you checked the latest patch that david send here? He updated quite 
a bit to address all the issues that were raised as far as I know.
