Release 1.1.11 is here!

What's new?

• PHP 8.4 parser, although not all PHP 8.4 constructs are supported. This update mainly improves compilation speed and memory usage.
• Support for typed class constants.
• Better support for SQLite, thanks to @arontsang #1152 .
• SplFileObject support for CSV parsing.

Performance

• Compilation time has been improved thanks to the updated parser and reduced allocations in general.
• Runtime performance improvements; mainly because of reduced allocations during runtime and lower GC pressure.
  • Thanks to @arontsang for his IPhpCallable.Invoke() implementation using params ReadOnlySpan<PhpValue> instead of the legacy params PhpValue[].
  • Use of ArrayPool across the library to avoid array allocations.
• Fixed analysis of compact() which broke type analysis - this fix improves WordPress performance on a few places.
• Fixed analysis of local variables if there are more than 32 of them - this broke type analysis.

Fixes

There are many minor fixes to the compiler and runtime. The most significant fix addresses type analysis of local variables. Please see the commits for details.

This release improves compatibility with WordPress, enhances performance, and adds some interoperability features.

New functions

• filter_var_array
• fputcsv with correct parameters
• stream_context_create() with params argument
• PHP 8.2 PCRE support for the n option
• spread array operator

Interoperabiity

• Support for using CLR events with PHP callable (https://docs.peachpie.io/net/type-system/#c-event)
• AssemblyAttribute MSBuild property.
• get_/set_ method automatically synthesizes a CLR property with the same name

Optimizations

• string evaluation uses much less allocations
• version_compare() is without allocations
• glob uses less allocations
• overload resolution using named arguments: better compile time method binding, avoids some dynamic calls in run-time.

Fixes

• Diagnostic for printf with more than 9 arguments checks the arguments correctly.

Maintenance release with fixes and updated parser.

maintenance release; avoids a few falsy notices in array functions and is_readable() function

This release has updated PHP syntax parser and PHAR parser. This fixes a few issues as well as it allows parsing a complete range of PHP 5,7 and PHP 8 sources. (It doesn't mean it compiles all the PHP 8.2 quirks and features tho - see #765 and #959)

PHPDoc

Updated Doc Comments parser, and dropped support for type hinting from PHPDoc; this feature was useful when there was no type-hinting in PHP itself. Currently, function parameters and properties can be type-hinted using PHP syntax.

Fixes:

• post-increment of aliased variable (#1086)
• match with multiple conditions (#1098)

This is the netstandard2.1 release with the same features as v1.1.3

maintenance release,

• fixes header() function so it won't report warnings on CLI
• fixes PDO execute() #1069
• mysqli_report()
• PHP 8 Attribute class
• faster file_exists()

• fixes White Screen of Death when running from Visual Studio (reverts use of I/O pipelines) (#1070)
• implements mysqli_report()
• fixes PDO statement execute (#1069)
• MySql and MySqli err code is correct (not -1 always)

Fixes SDK to be used from Visual Studio.

Targeting net5.0 and newer now, so we can make use of the latest API. When running on older .NET runtimes, please use the 1.0.x versions.

Sample project file .msbuildproj:

<Project Sdk="Peachpie.NET.Sdk/1.1.0">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>library</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Compile Include="**/*.php" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Breaking

• Requires .NET Runtime 5.0 or higher.

Optimizations

• ASP.NET Core middleware takes advantage of I/O pipelines.
• avoids allocations in ASP.NET Core request pipeline and string encoding.
• avoids more allocations in request handling, hash, random_int, mbstring, stripcslashes, URL encoding, echo of complex strings, bin2hex.

Fixes

• Compiling of use of a trait whose definition is ambiguous (#1063)
