OK. I'll keep this for next PHP version. There is no any performance improvement (just a bit smaller code).
The patch clarifies the meaning of all the flags, what entities use them, and points what some of them may be eliminated completely. Thanks.

I am not sure I understand what the effect is here - does it allow any measurable improvement? If not, I'd wait until the after the branch. But I could change my mind if there's real performance gain... The test part, however, which replaces bits with constants, I think is good anytime, I don't think we should have been using bit values anyway. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com
