- Description:
Zephir - Ze(nd Engine) Ph(p) I(nt)r(mediate) - is a high level language
that eases the creation and maintainability of extensions for PHP.
Zephir extensions are exported to C code that can be compiled and
optimized by major C compilers such as gcc/clang/vc++. Functionality
is exposed to the PHP language.
Main features:
* Both dynamic/static typing
* Reduced execution overhead compared with full interpretation
* Restricted procedural programming, promoting OOP
* Memory safety
* Ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler to provide predictable performance
Compiler design goals:
* Multi-pass compilation
* Type speculation/inference
* Allow runtime profile-guided optimizations, pseudo-constant propagation
and indirect/virtual function inlining
Packages
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
