Hi internals!
I've created a draft RFC and implementation for the introduction of an
Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) as an intermediate structure in our compilation
process:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/abstract_syntax_tree
The RFC outlines why an AST is beneficial, how it impacts performance and
memory usage of the compile process and what changes to syntax or behavior
it introduces.
Furthermore the RFC contains an outline of how the current implementation
works and what APIs it provides. This section is just an overview and I
hope to extend it in the future.
Note: I'm on vacation as of tomorrow and wanted to put this up to
discussion beforehand. I won't be able to implement any feedback while I'm
away, but can of course answer questions :)
Thanks,
Nikita
I know I am not supposed to comment as just a PHP dev who uses the
language day to day for my living -- above is another example of why
Nikita is a person who just delivers - for me he completely defused the
64bit vs php-ng stuff a few weeks back with a technical analysis i.e. no
political crap - so maybe we need an rfc for a benign dictator for PHP
(as Rasmus is too busy I guess) and the community seems pretty
fractioned with endless arguments .. anyway I think you'd know who'd get
my vote :) -- we all know php-ng and 64bit are essential so get them
implemented and the documentation can follow... :)
Sorry for any unwelcome noise from user land
