Hi internals!
Hi Nikita,
Before going any further I'd like to get some comments about what you
think of adding generator support to PHP.
I have always hoped to see the “yield” keywork introduced in PHP. I even
suggested that in this mailing-list at least one time but I'm very glad
to see some patches coming out.
In addition to Gustavo's remarks, I wonder how the GC would collect a
Generator object that is not use anymore (especially with a referenced
yield). Does it fit to the current CG strategy or do we need an extra
strategy? I would notice that the “Yield by reference” section does not
exist but you have targeted it).
Moreover, I wonder how a “recursive yield” would act (something like
“public function *f ( … ) { … yield $this->f(…); … }”). It is possible?
Is it anticipated?
Thanks for you work.
Cheers.
