let's say you expose a readonly int value name iSize.. but later, the value also need to be a double, then you also prefer add another dval?

I knew this of course, but this is actually not related to this specific "readonly" RFC but if you are strict to this., then I'd like to say, this will slowdown all FETCH_OBJ_R a bit, since this will need introduce a condition to check whether a property is readonly.. only faster a narrow case... thanks > > I'm a huge +1 on this, good job Andrea! > > > -- > regards, > > Kalle Sommer Nielsen > ka...@php.net -- Xinchen Hui @Laruence http://www.laruence.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
