The only reason why it has a negative impact is because everything is reparsed all the time. If the whole file was parsed ahead-of-time, having switchable regexp syntaxes would only cost a mispredicted jump each time. Ahead-of-time parsing is currently impossible because of realtime dial plans. That's not a showstopper for me personally, because I think the current realtime dial plan support is a bad idea anyway, but obviously there are others with different opinions. Another problem is the ability to add extensions at runtime, but it should not be impossible to call a parser function before inserting new extensions. /Benny _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
