People that need a faster alternative usually need it to have an efficient object hash map. So far all the use cases where a faster spl_object_hash was needed is to do exactly that. Since this is already possible, the need for spl_object_id is questionable.

So, since documentation is currently bad, we should implement some additional functions to do the same? Sorry, but your SPL documentation vendetta is irrelevant to the question at hand. > > -Hannes > > > -- Etienne Kneuss http://www.colder.ch Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction. -- Pascal -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
