With PHP 5.03 I found the exact opposite results, ternary is slightly faster:
> time ./ternary.php ;time ./abs.php
real 0m53.242s
user 0m26.655s
sys 0m0.017s
real 0m53.625s
user 0m26.732s
sys 0m0.019s
There has to be more overhead in calling a function than not,
especially after seeing the function.
PHP_FUNCTION(abs)
{
zval **value;
if (ZEND_NUM_ARGS()!=1||zend_get_parameters_ex(1, &value)==FAILURE) {
WRONG_PARAM_COUNT;
}
convert_scalar_to_number_ex(value);
if (Z_TYPE_PP(value) == IS_DOUBLE) {
RETURN_DOUBLE(fabs(Z_DVAL_PP(value)));
} else if (Z_TYPE_PP(value) == IS_LONG) {
if (Z_LVAL_PP(value) == LONG_MIN) {
RETURN_DOUBLE(-(double)LONG_MIN);
} else {
RETURN_LONG(Z_LVAL_PP(value) < 0 ? -Z_LVAL_PP(value) :
Z_LVAL_PP(value));
}
}
RETURN_FALSE;
}
