note 95958 added to class.splobjectstorage

I should have qualified with some test results- so I made some comparisons- and was shocked. But first, the caveats- I'm not going to spam this entry with my PHP implementation, so there is a certain amount of trust involved on your behalf that its a lean efficient implementation. Second, that the test itself was well produced. Taking an array of 5000 unique integers (generated before benchmark timing), I tested SplObjectStorage and my php HashMap by iterating through the 5000 unique integers and: i. Adding a scalar key and value to the target collection ii. Testing for the key in the collection iii. Getting the value for the scalar key iv Removing the key With error_reporting set to E_ERROR (suppressing warnings from SplObjectCollection), the results were: HashMap average: 0.0030831205844879 seconds SplObjectCollection average: 6.0224056243896E-6 Thats pretty impressive on part of SplObjectCollection! The only time that my hashmap outperformed spl was with error_reporting set to E_ALL- as would be expected because I have implemented an error handler. Using @ and SplObjectCollection using ArrayAccess notation does nothing to suppress the warnings however- that is, <?php $spl= new SplObjectStorage; @$spl[0]= ''; // warnings still triggered ?> Will SplObjectCollection suppress warnings about scalar keys in the future? I hope so.... ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 89.101.64.145 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.splobjectstorage.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95958 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95958/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95958/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95958/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95958/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95958/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95958/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95958 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95958 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
