Hello,
I was wondering if we could make ZEND_FUNCTION() declaration static. This
represents a compatibility break with previous PHP versions, but only
extensions that already declare the function as static would be affected.
Declaring a function as static (or anything else) decreases load times and
the size of the dso, allows better optimizations by the compiler, etc.. So
its all advantages :) (well, then all functions must be defined or
#include'd in the same file as the function table).
There are some (few) extensions that already mark their functions as static,
so should we use a wide static keywording, by changing the macro, or add the
keyword locally?
Nuno
P.S.: Anyone that wants to learn more about why, how and when to use static
and const keywords, just read the Ulrich Drepper dso paper.
