By the way, if we do end up making this kind of thing mainstream we should probably use APR (or another library) for thread abstraction. I wouldn't want to do all of that work over. Andi
That would be nice, but not sure how realistic at this point. Idealy, we would be using APR throughout PHP.
I'm not saying we should change all of PHP right now but if you're going to add thread function abstractions then we might as well use APR. Andi
Well, the thread abstractions by themselves are fairly light weight, whereas going to apr requires more effort. ie., a single file with a few abstractions is not dependent on a whole library of stuff. I do think APR would be ideal, especially since php is used so much with apache in the first place, but for a few simple functions I don't see it making sence to do it right now. Shane
