Re: RFC: execution opcode file without php source code file

Hi list ! I would support such a feature as well. I am working on an implementation that would integrate PHAR support and opcode cache binary files (so that you could make a PHAR file that contains binary (opcode cache) files) I am voicing my opinion here because the current PHAR implementation does not work with binary (opcode cache) files. (The problem seems to be that the PHAR extension directly extracts/opens the phar file directory, compiles the file into opcodes and then executes them) - But compiling a file into opcodes that is already a binary (opcode cache) file yields garbage... So if this feature were to be implemented, the implementation would have to (in my opinion) solve this problem in the PHAR extension. The way I have worked around this problem is to implement some extract functions (require_once_bin(), require_bin(), include_bin() and include_once_bin() and then make sure that autoloaders used in inside the PHAR use those when reading from/including from that PHAR file that contains opcode binary files. /Henrik On 01-Oct-20 12:36, Michał Marcin Brzuchalski wrote:

I commit a new request path, the request is about execution opcode file without php source code file this RFC provides similar to class file of java and pyo file of python. patch is: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/6146

I had exact the same feature in my mind and working implementation few years ago when PHP 7.0 appeared on horizon which didn't get a Zend Guard support. I like the idea a lot. One risk I see here is people putting whole framework or apps into one PHP file before calling opcache_compile_file to produce one big binary file. Would it be possible to move this feature to separate function and pass iterable list of files? I am not sure if with current OPCache file format it's possible but if that might reduce amount of steps required to produce one huge OPCache file which then can be loaded by interpreter. Second thing worth of noting is that PR examples use CLI SAPI and lacks of examples how FPM can load it. Would it require at least an index.php with `<?php include 'myapp.bin';` ?
