AI Briefingtypephp: From PHP Source to Native Binary via C++17
swoole/typephp
About the project
Converts PHP code into native machine code that runs directly on the CPU by transpiling it to C++17. It boosts performance by leveraging static type information while preserving existing PHP syntax, without requiring an interpreter or JIT warm-up.
The compiler itself is written in PHP, featuring a self-hosting architecture. Primitive types such as int, float, and bool are directly mapped to C++ scalar types, delivering C++-level speed for numerical operations. It supports type containers like std::vector, enabling processing up to 10 times faster than PHP arrays.
It offers three build modes: native executables, PHP extension modules, and shared libraries. It can target Linux, Windows, macOS, as well as WASI and browser environments. Since source code is converted into native binaries, it is suitable for deployment environments requiring code protection.
To interact with the Zend runtime, it supports internal functions and reflection via PHPX. It does not support all PHP features but provides a defined subset in a testable state. You must verify the compatibility model before adopting it for existing applications.
