Summary: LIFO/FIFO iterator modes for priority queues
Status: Open
Type: Feature/Change Request

New Comment:
I believe this goes against the definition of a priority queue, if you insert
them
with the same priority then it really does not matter which one comes first...
I understand what you are asking, but if you need them like that then you could
maybe use another data structure or a mixture, or user different priorities..

Description:
------------
PHP version is actually PHP5.4RC3
It would be nice to be able to maintain the input order in a SPL priority queue
when multiple values share the same priority.
E.g. FIFO and LIFO
The current "mode" is neither one of these. I guess this is best
peformance-wise but sometimes you want to be explicitly, for instance when
registering event listeners; you expect them to run in order.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$queue = new \SplPriorityQueue;
$queue->insert('a', 100);
$queue->insert('b', 100);
$queue->insert('c', 110);
$queue->insert('d', 90);
foreach($queue as $element) {
var_dump($element);
echo '<br>';
}
echo '<br>';
$queue2 = new \SplPriorityQueue;
$queue2->insert('a', 100);
$queue2->insert('b', 100);
foreach($queue2 as $element) {
var_dump($element);
echo '<br>';
}
Expected result:
----------------
string(1) "c"
string(1) "a"
string(1) "b"
string(1) "d"
string(1) "a"
string(1) "b"
Actual result:
--------------
string(1) "c"
string(1) "b"
string(1) "a"
string(1) "d"
string(1) "a"
string(1) "b"
