With current ZE2 it is possible to instanciate an abstract class. That is a class that has at least one abstract method. When we add a flag field to class_entry struct we can handle this. We simply need to set an abstract flag for the class entry when any abstract method is added or inherited. I updated the full patch to do it that way: http://marcus-boerger.de/php/ext/ze2/ze2-f3p-21128.diff.txt

I thought about this but am not quite sure how I feel about this. I know that theoretically in C++ and Java you can't instantiate such classes but I'm not sure it'd be too bad in PHP. If I were to implement this I'd probably use a counter to *remember* how many abstract methods a class has. Andi
