Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-09 18:44:31] offshore at aopdg dot ru Description: ------------ While inspecting the class_alias() functionality I discovered that when declaring an alias of a class, it invokes an __autoload routine for all base class tree even if the aliased class not used in code. It may be inappropriate for huge frameworks when them used for quick/small/performance scripts that does not need alias functionality. Test script: --------------- A.php: class A { } B.php: class B extends A { } C1.php: class C1 extends B { } C2.php: class C2 extends B { } main.php: function __autoload($className) { include($className . '.php'); } function included_files() { return implode(', ', array_map('basename', get_included_files())) . "\n"; } echo included_files(); class_alias('C1', 'C'); echo included_files(); $c = new C(); echo included_files(); Expected result: ---------------- main.php main.php main.php, C1.php, B.php, A.php Actual result: -------------- main.php main.php, C1.php, B.php, A.php main.php, C1.php, B.php, A.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54207&edit=1
