Re: [PHP-DEV] C++ extensions and ext_skel

[Preston L. Bannister]

There is nothing about using a C++ compiler that makes your code less efficient. The primary determinant is still overwhelmingly the programmer. C++ has *never* gotten in my way when writing extremely efficient programs, and in fact I find it a great help.

The flip side is I've seen a lot of hideously inefficient "C" code. You can write inefficient code in any language.

Keep in mind that PHP is a (usually) compile-at-runtime, interpreted language :).

would cause a performace hit?
