HipHop?

[David Anderson]

Hi,

Does anyone have experience, positive or negative, running WordPress on
top of the HipHop virtual machine (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HipHop_for_PHP) ?

How well does it go, if you have a fairly arbitrary selection of plugins?

Best wishes,
David

Also: If anyone has had any problems with it, please let me know and
I'll pass your feedback on to the HHVM developers. They're pretty
interested in supporting WP, and I've spoken with them about a few
issues in it.

The main thing you'll see is plugins using the ARRAY_A/OBJECT constants
from wpdb in a case-insensitive manner; HHVM's constants are
case-sensitive. Well-made plugins should always be using the uppercase
variants of these.

You can read interesting facts here (the official page):

76% of wordpress code will work with hiphop.

The issue that was causing these failures should be fixed in the latest
versions of HHVM, from what I've been told. (I really wish I could
remember exactly what the error was, but the log appears to have
disappeared.)

I hope so. Until these fixes are available we can't use
wordpress+hiphop without hacks.

One specific failure is that HHVM doesn't support case-insensitive
constants. At phptek 2013, Sarah
Golemon<http://tek13.phparch.com/speakers/#golemon>mentioned this as a
specific modification they'd made to Core to run WP on
HHVM (the blog at http://www.hhvm.com/blog/ is WP + HHVM).

The $wpdb class makes use of one (
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/wp-db.php?rev=25284#L20).
There may be other cases, but that's the only one I can recall.
