I'm quite pleased with the result: Generating huge object... Done! Creating it...Done! Testing it...OK! Current depth: 153 This was with an object containing 500 copies of itself. I ran out of space in my text editor, so the depth doen't actually get tested directly that far... the test line was; <snip> $bla->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test-> test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->test->ok(); <snip> And a more complete recursive test worked flawlessly. I counted 2 seconds runtime on my server; a 16MB 486 DX2/66. I tried with 5000 nests and the result is the same... although it took just under 10 seconds and started swapping after a couple of runs. Oh, and I just noticed a few segv's in error_log.. oops :) Can anyone comment more on the overhead of objects? My current project needs quite a lot of them. Do derived classess hold any sort of performance or resource advantage?
