RE: [PHP-DEV] Current Status of O+ on Windows

Earlier I had posted about testing O+ with Apache using Symfony's PhpUnit tests... I had an issue where it seems that test methods (which PhpUnit accesses using ReflectionMethod) were getting optimized out and replaced with an empty method (so all PhpUnit tests passed). I have now written a PHPT to try to reproduce this issue (attached in case it helps), which passes/doesn’t have this issue. I don’t think this issue is full resolved/closed, but it’s a low-priority edge case that can be fixed later. Symfony runs with O+(see O+ README for proper config)…. This issue doesn’t affect a normal Symfony app running on Apache with O+... users aren't likely to have this problem. If users do have this problem, I have found that turning off all optimization passes except pass 3 and pass 10 (using the optimization_level directive) seems to fix this problem. The reason I found this problem is that I run multiple PhpUnit tests on each Apache instance, one test is run at a time, but multiple tests are run against each instance/process during its lifetime. This is a little more accurate (apache doesn’t reboot between each HTTP request) and makes testing much faster, otherwise I have to start and stop apache between each test, which is really slow. I have confirmed this by restarting apache between each PhpUnit test, and I get about the same errors and failures as I do without O+. Additionally, I get a bunch of crashes, which I will be investigating further. Regardless of the crashes, this issue is not critical/low priority now since all the PhpUnit tests actually now run (reflectionmethods aren’t getting optimized out).
