I agree with you that JIT could achieve this. Although this could be done by JIT, however the JIT approach would require good code generation to produce efficient getter code to return the property value, and there will be a JIT threshold and extra compilation time for caller to reach. > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- Sent from Gmail Mobile
