Re: [RFC][VOTE] Objects as Keys

Hi! > As I said in the original discussion: this RFC is actually about having > an implicit call to __hash() whenever an object is used as an array key. > You can achieve exactly the same in userland with an explicit call. It's like nobody have ever seen __toString before... Of course you can do that 10-line boilerplate that Rowan outlined. The whole point of this RFC is so you don't have to do the boilerplate. > I would rather wait (maybe indefinitely) to have a proper implementation > of objects as keys than have this compromise. I have hard time to understand this - it's like somebody offering to give you $100, with no conditions, and you say "no, I'd rather wait for somebody giving me a billion dollars, until then I won't take the $100". Having object as keys does not contradict this RFC in any way - though the probability of it happening in PHP 7 is pretty much nil so you'd have to wait at least several years, but most probably - forever. So you pretty much choosing to have nothing over having something with no upside at all. Why? -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
