Work has progressed lately on the target system. These are a set of classes used to convey information, such as configuration or command line options, to various parts of the backend that do the real work - such as compiling or JITing a single script - and also to the runtime. This paves the way for a very modular, dynamic driver system which will be necessary to use rphp from as many different front ends as are planned. For example, we're planning on supporting at least:
- Generating native (static file) binaries and libraries
- Just In Time compilation and execution of command line scripts
- A web interface to the JIT, which you can fire up and point to the root directory of your PHP application
- Library interface to the analyzer, which can be called from e.g. an IDE
Speaking of the analyzer, we've also had some progress there as well. More on that soon.
