[PEPr] Comment on PHP::Assert

Jesper Veggerby (http://pear.php.net/user/nosey) has commented on the proposal for PHP::Assert. Comment: Carsten: I agree that you the it might be easier to read, but my point was much the same as Joshua (perhaps he put it more eloquently). The value this package adds does not all overweight the resources spent on having to load, parse and call the method (IMHO and apparently also Travis' figures). Perhaps it could be better to use the assert() method to clearify that you asserting the statement, but since assert() drops a warning and returns true or false, I'd personally prefer the simple "if"-check and the exception, which you can at least catch in a try-catch (somewhere in the call-stack!) Not as assert() where you only can "catch" it at the assertion point (also with and if (and you have to use @assert()). If you want to clearify that you are asserting you can always comment your code :p /Jesper Proposal information: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=285 -- Sent by PEPr, the automatic proposal system at http://pear.php.net
