note 117655 added to function.call-user-func-array

As of PHP 5.6 you can utilize argument unpacking as an alternative to call_user_func_array, and is often 3 to 4 times faster. <?php function foo ($a, $b) { return $a + $b; } $func = 'foo'; $values = array(1, 2); call_user_func_array($func, $values); //returns 3 $func(...$values); //returns 3 ?> Benchmarks from https://gist.github.com/nikic/6390366 cufa with 0 args took 0.43453288078308 switch with 0 args took 0.24134302139282 unpack with 0 args took 0.12418699264526 cufa with 5 args took 0.73408579826355 switch with 5 args took 0.49595499038696 unpack with 5 args took 0.18640494346619 cufa with 100 args took 5.0327250957489 switch with 100 args took 5.291127204895 unpack with 100 args took 1.2362589836121 ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 50.79.80.225 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func-array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/117655 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117655/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117655/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117655/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117655/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117655/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117655/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117655 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/117655 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
