Zephir

Zephir - Ze(nd Engine) Ph(p) I(nt)r(mediate) - is a high level language that eases the creation and maintainability of extensions for PHP. Zephir extensions are exported to C code that can be compiled and optimized by major C compilers such as gcc/clang/vc++. Functionality is exposed to the PHP language.

Main features:

Both dynamic/static typing
Reduced execution overhead compared with full interpretation
Restricted procedural programming, promoting OOP
Memory safety
Ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler to provide predictable performance

Compiler design goals:

Multi-pass compilation
Type speculation/inference
Allow runtime profile-guided optimizations, pseudo-constant propagation and indirect/virtual function inlining

Requirements

re2c >= 0.13.6
Zephir Parser >= 1.1.0
A C compiler such as gcc >= 4.4 or an alternative such as clang >= 3.0, Visual C++ >= 11 or Intel C++. It is recommended to use gcc 4.4 or later
GNU make >= 3.81
automake
PHP development headers and tools
The build-essential package when using gcc on Ubuntu (and likely other distros as well)
