 As mentioned above, preloaded files remain cached in opcache memory forever. Modification of their corresponding source files won't have any effect without another server restart. All functions and most classes defined in these files will be permanently loaded into PHP's function and class tables and become permanently available in the context of any future request. During preloading, PHP also resolves class dependencies and links with parent, interfaces and traits. It also removes unnecessary includes and performs some other optimizations. As mentioned above, preloaded files remain cached in opcache memory forever.

 +''opcache_reset()'' is not going to reload preloaded files. It's just not possible using current opcache design, because during restart, they may be used by some process, and any modifications may lead to crash.
 +
 +''opcache_get_status'' is extended to provide information about preloaded functions, classes and scripts under the "preload_statistics" index.

 +==== Static members and static variables ====
 +To avoid misunderstanding, it is clear stated that preloading doesn't change the behavior of static class members and static variables. Their values are not going to relive request boundary.
  
 ==== Preloading Limitation ==== ==== Preloading Limitation ====
 Only classes without unresolved parent, interfaces, traits and constant values may be preloaded.  If a class doesn't satisfy to this condition, it's stored in opcache SHM as a part of corresponding PHP script in the same way as without preloading. Only classes without unresolved parent, interfaces, traits and constant values may be preloaded.  If a class doesn't satisfy to this condition, it's stored in opcache SHM as a part of corresponding PHP script in the same way as without preloading.

 +On Windows, it's also not possible to preload classes inherited from internal ones. Windows ASLR and absence of fork() don't allow to guarantee the same addresses of internal classes in different processes.
