The PV2 compilation process is fairly simple. It is split up into a number of very clear phases. Each of these phases may be split up into other phases. Phase 1: Lexical Analysis Phase 2: Parsing Phase 3: Syntax checking & Type resolution ...text/html2008-03-10T01:13:18+01:00anonymous@80.249.108.13runtime - created

Phix v2 (also known as Pv2) is a self-hosting PHP lexer, parser, compiler, optimiser, linker, and of course PHP emulation runtime. Native platform code can be generated before execution, or the application can be JITted or interpreted at runtime. P...text/html2008-02-29T22:07:55+01:00anonymous@80.249.108.13filesystem - created

One of PHP‘s best runtime features is it’s streams API. While i’m no fan of a language defining anythign to do wit the user space at all, having a set of common interfaces that can be used by the VM itself is needed, if the VM is ...text/html2008-02-27T15:06:53+01:00anonymous@80.249.108.13theplan
