16794	pomo/streams.php str_split() suggestion ?	mrasnika		"Hi, just passing along an idea that was suggested to me:  we have a log which crashes with this --

''Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 23855104) (tried to allocate 9 bytes) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/pomo/streams.php on line 86''

If you look at that line:

http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.1/wp-includes/pomo/streams.php#L86

you will see that it is a simple str_split(). How about if the $string argument is passed by reference ? The problem as it is explained to me is that right now the $string argument is passed by value, e.g. it is copied, so if this is a large string, it is going to take double space when it is used as an argument; instead if it is used as an argument passed by reference it will not take any extra space at all.

What do you think, would this help POMO_Reader::str_split() work with large strings ?"	enhancement	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Performance	3.1	minor		close
