APC in trunk

Greetings As the process for trunk grows, I think we should consider which extensions we will move in and out of the core, this thread however is solely about moving APC into the core. As original proposed and agreed on the PDM in Paris, was to include APC in PHP6, and not turn it on by default. I think it will benefit both us and the community if we move APC into the core (trunk, 5.4). APC is one of the most popular extensions at PECL and many core devs also work on APC. Currently the only issue I see by putting APC into the core is the CS, as APC uses spaces instead of tabs. Another thing we might want to look at is whether we should support 5.2, or simply upgrade APC's version and break backwards compatibility so we don't have a layer of checks for macros that wasn't available in previous version, perhaps only require 5.3+ within the APC code, this however is not really a question of including APC in the core, but rather a per extension discussion ;-) What are your views on including APC in the core, or reasons not to? -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
