I wanted to do the first, but it caused a shift/reduce conflict in the parser due to ambiguity with function () {}. The latter has been suggested also. Both might be possible with an AST, but I’m not really keen on either, they’re quite verbose. > I may implement this part if the RFC will be accepted. > Actually, most of the code may be just copy-pasted from > ZEND_INIT_STATIC_METHOD_CALL. Interesting, I’d certainly appreciate it. :) One thing to note is that the patch is currently implemented in the simplest way possible, wherein it just stores constant strings in the opcode. You could optimise it by binding ahead-of-time and passing the zend_function pointer itself, but I didn’t want to do that as it complicated things. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
