To everyone on this thread and thus nobody in specific (hence my top post):
Given that get_declared_*() populates a new ZEND_HASH each time the function is
called[1] — which for classes can easily be hundreds of strings — would there
be any appetite to:
1. Add an optional parameter — e.g. `get_declared_classes($startingFrom)` —
that can limit the number of symbols starting with "n" where if n==100 then it
would return array_slice($symbols,100), and
2. Add a function — `get_declared_class_count()` — that returns the current
number of declared symbols of whichever kind of symbol, so we can get the "n"
before calling `include`/`require` to use with get_declared_*() after calling
`include`/`require`?
Used in a (very simplistic) example:
function autoload($class) {
$startingFrom = get_declared_class_count();
if (!file_exists("src/{$class}.php")) {
return;
}
include_once "src/{$class}.php";
foreach (get_declared_classes($startingFrom) as $class) {
if (!method_exists($class,'init')) {
continue;
}
$class::init();
}
}
This would cut down on creating hashes with 100+ strings that get immediately
thrown away, and also cut down on memory fragmentation/garbage collector churn.
