Re: weak references

I'm not familiar with the internal implementation of GC in PHP but if the current garbage collection implementation makes catching the gc event non-trivial I'd agree and vote for postponing my "SplQueue ref_queue" suggestion until the future. It could always be added later and there is the temporary __destruct workaround for the meantime. ~Hannes On 16 July 2011 13:23, Ferenc Kovacs <tyra3l@gmail.com> wrote: > > Etienne Kneuss has more knowledge about the implementation, but AFAIK > as we didn't modified the garbage collector we didn't get notified if > a weakreferenced object gets gced, so we can't notify the SplQueue > either. > please be aware that the bigger the change that we introduce it is > less likely that we can make this happen in 5.4, or at all. > > -- > Ferenc Kovács > @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu >
