Hmm, so other people must not read what we discuss, that does not work. > Repeating again: it can not be done "only once". Not with opcode caches > present and bound entities living in separate file. This thing is not > possible. If you do not believe it - try to implement it and see. That is my point. It can be done. The reason to delay inheritance is that we can have a conditional statement around a class definition. If we detect classes that do not have conditionals around them, then we can bind them early. It is as easy as that. So instead of making the language more dynamic and even removing a chance of having inheritance dones early where possible we should work on making the desired case - eraly binding - as easy as possible. marcus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
