Re: C++ extensions and ext_skel

There is nothing about using a C++ compiler that makes your code less efficient. The primary determinant is still overwhelmingly the programmer. C++ has *never* gotten in my way when writing extremely efficient programs, and in fact I find it a great help. The flip side is I've seen a lot of hideously inefficient "C" code. You can write inefficient code in any language. Keep in mind that PHP is a (usually) compile-at-runtime, interpreted language :). John Coggeshall wrote:

Well, Personally I don't have any problem with introducing C++ into PHP so no argument there from me. I'm curious if using C++ as opposed to C would cause a performace hit?
