將PHP源碼編譯成JVM字節碼的編譯器：JPHP

JPHP是一個類似于javac的編譯器，它能夠將PHP源代碼編譯成JVM字節碼的編譯器。然后就實現了讓PHP程序運行在Java虛擬機器上。 它支持許多PHP5.3+的特性。JPHP與 JRuby和Jython相似。

支持: JDK 1.6+ (OpenJDK, Oracle)。

目標

JPHP不是 Zend PHP 引擎或非死book HHVM的一個代替。它并不想實現zend運行庫(比如：Curl, PRCE等)。這個項是為了：

1. 能夠在PHP中使有用Java對象
2. 通過 JIT 和 JVM提升性能
3. 利用更好的運行時庫來代替Zend PHP的丑陋的運行時庫
4. 讓PHP不單只能用于開發Web應用
5. Also: unicode for strings and threads

特性

• JIT (2x - 10x faster PHP 5.4)
• Optimizer (constant expressions, inline functions, etc.)
• Using java libraries and classes in PHP code.
• Unicode for strings (UTF-16, like in Java)
• Threading, Sockets
• Environment architecture (like sandbox objects in runkit zend extension).
• GUI (based on Swing, improved - more flexible layouts)
• Embedded cache system for classes and functions
• Optional Hot Reloading for classes and functions

語言支持的特性

(without zend runtime libraries)

• PHP 5.2+ fully support (with OOP)
• Closures (PHP 5.3), auto-binding $this in closures (PHP 5.4)
• Namespaces fully support (PHP 5.3)
• Spl autoloading for classes (PHP 5.3)
• Iterators, ArrayAccess, Serializable
• Type hinting for classes, arrays, callable (PHP 5.4)
• Array short syntax (PHP 5.4)
• Ternary short cut "?:", NOWDOC, __callStatic, __invoke (PHP 5.3)
• Late static binding (PHP 5.3)
• GC for cyclic references (PHP 5.3)
• Class::{expr}(), (new Foo)->bar() (PHP 5.4)
• Try finally (PHP 5.5)
• Array and string literal dereferencing (PHP 5.5)
• __debugInfo for var_dump (PHP 5.6)
• Function array dereferencing has been added, e.g. foo()[0] (PHP 5.4)
• Constants can be declared outside a class using the const keyword. (PHP 5.3)
• Dynamic access to static methods (PHP 5.3)
• Exceptions can be nested (PHP 5.3)
• ::class system constant (php 5.5)

還不支持什么?

• Traits (php 5.4)
• Generators (php 5.5)
• Goto (php 5.3)
• list() in foreach (php 5.5)
• Binary number format, e.g. 0b001001101 (php 5.4)
