Hi! About a year ago Facebook has published the initial version of the PHP Specification. Since then, I've been slowly working through it in order to bring it in sync with PHP 5.6, fix typos, improve language, etc. Now I believe this work is mostly complete, at least for the 5.6 part (the master still has some pieces missing). So I would like everybody to take a look at it, good starting point being:
https://github.com/php/php-langspec/blob/PHP-5.6/spec/00-specification-for-php.md and report any problems you see as described in https://github.com/php/php-langspec/blob/PHP-5.6/README.md or even better, as pull requests. Two things that I'd also like to have some help with are: 1. Grammar. Right now the grammar description is kind of complex and I'm not sure if it's entirely correct. Some syntax constraints are definitely not represented in the grammar. I'd like more eyes on this. 2. Compliance tests - I don't think they cover all the 5.6 features, especially newer ones, so more attention to this area would also help. In the meantime, I plan also to bring the master branch into sync with 7.0, I'll send another email when that's done. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
