[patch] Late static bindings (LSB)

Hi Etienne,

We already have patch for late static binding that is very similar to yours.
If you have time, please compare them.
From quick look I see that our patch more accurate (it supports constants
and runtime function calls)
Does our patch miss something that your patch does?

Thanks. Dmitry.

Subject: [PHP-DEV] [patch] Late static bindings (LSB)

Hi internals,

here is a patch that implements Late static bindinds in a way that
minimizes the performance hits that were feared.
There is no significant slowdown or memory usage increase
when running
Zend/bench.php, which I assume is a
good enough bench for that kind of matter, as it involves a stupid
amount of (recursive) function calls.

You can also find the patch here:
http://patches.colder.ch/Zend/late_static_bindings_take6.patch?markup

Here is a document that describes its usage:
