Excuse my ignorance of LLVM but couldn't someone build a PHP LLVM JIT compiler and stand of the shoulders of that project?
I am sure I am trivializing the effort that it takes to make JIT for PHP.
- rayiner 15y agoLLVM isn't the worlds greatest target for a dynamic language, as Rubinius and Unladen Swallow found out. It does a lot of low level optimization, but a basic prerequisite to that is being able to do some sort of optimistic type-based optimizations, and LLVM has no infrastructure for that. It looks like HipHopVM uses tracing which is probably a better way to go.
