Re: Userland representation of AST. I use Nikita's PHP-Parser for static analysis already, so my first reaction is that I like the idea of being able to obtain the canonical AST from the engine, that is automatically updated as new features are added. Does the AST provided by the internal parser provide all of the information required to be able to turn it back into source code? Re: Extending the parser from PHP userland. This I don't like so much. To be honest I hoped this would be an API to extend the parser from PHP extensions :) I think letting userland fiddle directly with the compilation process is just asking for trouble. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
