It seems to me that the FAST_ZPP macro is not (only) to disable an
experimental feature, but rather to be able to reduce the size of the
built binaries. I've just checked a `./configure --disable-all`:
with FAST_ZPP: 16,651,912
without FAST_ZPP: 16,276,152
That's a difference of 375,760 bytes, but only 2% increase.
This is a fair point. Functions using Fast ZPP have larger code size,
because of aggressive inlining.
If every function used it, I suppose it might bloat the size of the PHP
binary somewhat.
Furthermore, I have no
reason to believe that the option to turn off FAST_ZPP is actually used
in practice, though feel free to prove me wrong!
Perhaps that is so, because FAST_ZPP can't be turned of via ./configure.
That's true, but I don't know if there was any reason to add such an option.
In any case, thanks to some uncaught bugs in dead code, no stable
release of PHP 7 has been able to compile with FAST_ZPP disabled anyway,
which means I can be certain nobody is using it.
Thanks for your input.
