It's likely to work on platforms that have the C functions implemented. Which is the level of guarantee that PHP aims for; "If the platform implements a feature, PHP will expose it, but won't always go out of its way to work around missing features". > just because there's one year of time and "we have no CI for that" is > not a good excuse in my book. If this is important to you, please step up and do something about it. If it is only of just enough importance to you that you send an email to this list, asking other people to do a shedload of work to satisfy your vague feelings, then as Sara said, committing it now gives people a whole year to find issues with it, and then we can take action against known issues, rather than worrying about unknown unknowns. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
