Yes, we get rid of void > pointers but use a pattern easy to understand. This looks like macro > hell. I feel the same way. I very much the idea of rewamping zpp, it is a long due taks. However the way it is implemented in this RFC is not something I would like to work with for a decade or so. The performance gain is also not sufficient enough to justify it. I think we should think more about other options (no matter how long you spent discussing options before posting this RFC). I am sure we can come with other solutions which may be cleaner and also provide some performance improvements. > If we break APIs anyways: Can't we go for C++ which allows providing > high level APIs with high performance ... Yes, C++ would in this case provides almost all we need for implementing parameter management in a clean and efficient way. Not sure if it is desired tho'. By the way, please do not ask me to come with code and cases to valid my comment here, I won't. At least not until things get clarified about we wish. The last thing we need is yet another Zend vs World about that :) Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
