Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] Zend Optimizer+ Source Code now available
From: christopher.jones@oracle.com (Christopher Jones)



Hi Zeev,

I think people are keen to see Optimizer+ merged.  Hopefully the RFC
can set expectations clear on what the short-term steps will be, and
what the bigger picture might look like.  The middle-term tasks will
then work themselves out as we get to them (in true PHP fashion)

- What does "Integrate Optimizer+ into PHP, but don’t delay 5.5.0 for
   it" mean?  Does it mean:

    * Work really had to get it into PHP 5.5.0 with no delay to 5.5?
    * Include it in /ext "as-is", i.e. perhaps no ZTS support, or marked EXPERIMENTAL?
    * Include it in PHP 5.5.x where x > 0, when Optimizer+ is complete?

   The slippage of 5.5 is an issue to some people, so clarity here
   would be good.

   I believe the wider community is expecting the op-code cache to
   "just work", so if that's not the case, the RFC should communicate
   this clearly.  There's also the potential to damage Zend's
   reputation if what is released doesn't work well.

- What are your general thoughts about its integration architecture
   and the potential for alternative op-code caches to be used?  I know
   code can always be changed, but what (if any) design will happen
   from the start to make this easy?

- Regarding name choice, here are some: ZopCache, Cachze, RunCachze.
