Tonight I wanted to do some benchmarks with PHP 4.3.11, PHP 5.0.4, and the three (CALL, GOTO, SWITCH) executors of PHP 5.1 with both GCC 3.4.4 and GCC 4.0.1 to get a feeling for the improvements in the VM for PHP 5.1.
Both the CALL and SWITCH executors segfault for me on my Linux system when running the ZendEngine2/bench.php script. Below is the backtrace for the GOTO executor: (gdb) r Zend/bench.php Starting program: /usr/local/src/php/php-5.1/sapi/cli/php Zend/bench.php simple 0.294 simplecall 0.778 simpleucall 1.147 simpleudcall 1.379 mandel 1.223 mandel2 1.494 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. execute (op_array=0x826ffe0) at zend_vm_execute.h:3834 3834 memset(EX(CVs), 0, sizeof(zval**) * op_array->last_var); (gdb) bt #0 execute (op_array=0x826ffe0) at zend_vm_execute.h:3834 #1 0x0816d534 in execute (op_array=0x812dcc0) at zend_vm_execute.h:3989 . . . #871 0x0816d534 in execute (op_array=0x8285194) at zend_vm_execute.h:3989 #872 0x0812fa34 in zend_execute_scripts (type=8, retval=0x0, file_count=3) at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.1/Zend/zend.c:1077 #873 0x080ecb4d in php_execute_script (primary_file=0xbffff7a0) at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.1/main/main.c:1670 #874 0x081d3b4a in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffff874) at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.1/sapi/cli/php_cli.c:1036 Below is the backtrace for the SWITCH executor: (gdb) r Zend/bench.php Starting program: /usr/local/src/php/php-5.1/sapi/cli/php Zend/bench.php simple 0.316 simplecall 0.779 simpleucall 1.170 simpleudcall 1.389 mandel 1.384 mandel2 1.630 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. execute (op_array=0x8273fe0) at zend_vm_execute.h:53 53 memset(EX(CVs), 0, sizeof(zval**) * op_array->last_var); (gdb) bt #0 execute (op_array=0x8273fe0) at zend_vm_execute.h:53 #1 0x0816f7b8 in execute (op_array=0x812dcc0) at zend_vm_execute.h:211 . . . #875 0x0816f7b8 in execute (op_array=0x8289194) at zend_vm_execute.h:211 #876 0x0812fa34 in zend_execute_scripts (type=8, retval=0x0, file_count=3) at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.1/Zend/zend.c:1077 #877 0x080ecb4d in php_execute_script (primary_file=0xbffff7a0) at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.1/main/main.c:1670 #878 0x081d464a in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffff874) at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.1/sapi/cli/php_cli.c:1036 -- Sebastian Bergmann http://www.sebastian-bergmann.de/ GnuPG Key: 0xB85B5D69 / 27A7 2B14 09E4 98CD 6277 0E5B 6867 C514 B85B 5D69 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
