Re: [RFC] SPL & PCRE as always enabled in core

Hello Pierre, it is neither a core feature nor does it blong into the engine. And the real solution would be: - proxies (object, property), (object, array index) - another interface, say ArrayAccessByRef which allows to deal with references, a few things can be done automatically but you can never solve all issues - unless you're using proxies - also another interface for IteratorByRef that has function &__current() might be interesting Now the proxies caneasily be done in userspace once we have the ability to overload get/set - i am actually thinking of doing something in pecl/spl_types. And later might be done in the engine completely. The interfaces however clearly belong into the engine. best regards marcus Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 9:02:00 AM, you wrote: > On 6/5/07, Stanislav Malyshev <stas@zend.com> wrote: >> >> Could you elaborate - which bugs? >> > >> > A rude explanation was here: >> > >> > >> > http://blog.thepimp.net/index.php/post/2006/11/28/comment-posting-fixed-and-warning-removed-and-some-overload-mess6 >> > ÷]Þ˪"­ÁŠ¸Páõ >> >> I'm not sure I understand where is the bug.
