Re: cvs: php4 / acinclude.m4 /ext/standard config.m4 reg.c

24K is significant to embedded devices that have a total of 8M or 16M of storage. And out of that 8M you may only have 1M set aside for web-related stuff. Every byte is counted on systems like these. That's why projects such as busybox and tinylogin exist. Compiling PHP against a stripped down system regex library also makes more than 24K difference. But the point here is that this is an option that works fine when the person doing the compiling knows what he is doing. I don't see why it should be removed just because it could be used erroneously. -Rasmus On Mon, 8 Apr 2002, Jani Taskinen wrote: > > -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 836496 Apr 8 11:33 php-with-bundled-regex-stripped > -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 812072 Apr 8 11:39 php-with-system-regex-stripped > > Is 24424 bytes really that significant?
