I disagree on your disagreement, while it is not a must, it does not make much sense that we are gonna call what essential is a function to return a value that is not changed in anyway during that call. It does not really perform a function, other than returning a value in 99% of all cases, and therefore it makes perfect sense to allow readonly properties in my mind. It does not really make the code beautiful to prefix it with 'get' and suffix it with '()' when you want such a value, it makes it consistent, yes, but else it is just bloat to my eyes. Internally it should also be a slightly be faster to not having to call a method everytime as well, a program that does, lets say 50-100 calls to 'getX()' that can skip INIT_METHOD_CALL + DO_FCALL_BY_NAME and instead just a FETCH_OBJ_R which is what should be after the fcall, micro optimization I know (been a while since I went into these parts so I might be a bit off though). I'm a huge +1 on this, good job Andrea! -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen ka...@php.net -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
