Notes:

  • This may end up breaking assumptions made by opcache and be unsafe.

  • This is not going to be fully featured

  • This combines the parenthesis of lisp with the behavior of php.

    Writing parsers becomes easier and operator precedence is no longer important

  • This may be a useful reference point for writing DSLs extending PHP
    or for trying to add new syntax to php.

Supported features

  • (print expr), (echo expr1 expr2)
  • Variables (= $var expr)
  • Some unary and binary operators
  • Support reading and writing constants as (const name expr)
  • Add (if cond truestmt falsestmt) statements
  • Support (while cond stmts) statements
  • Support (do stmt1 stmt2) for statement lists
  • Support function calls (name_or_var arg1 arg2)

See Zend/tests/lisp for examples.

The following opcodes would be generated:

  ...
  BB1:
  0003 JMP BB3

  BB2:
  0004 INIT_FCALL 1 96 string("chr")
  0005 #10.T3 [long] = SR #3.CV0($int) [long] #7.CV2($i) ...
  0006 #11.T4 [long] RANGE[0..127] = BW_AND #10.T3 [long] ...
  0007 #12.T3 [long] RANGE[128..255] = BW_OR #11.T4 [long] ...
  0008 SEND_VAL #12.T3 [long] RANGE[128..255] 1
  0009 #13.V3 [ref, rc1, rcn, any] = DO_ICALL
  0010 ASSIGN_OP (CONCAT) #6.CV1($out) [rc1, rcn, string]
  0011 ADD #7.CV2($i)... int(7) #7.CV2($i) ... -> #15.CV2($i) ...

  BB3:
  0012 #8.T4 [long] = SR #3.CV0($int) #7.CV2($i) [long, double]
  0013 #9.T3 [bool] RANGE[0..1] = IS_SMALLER int(128) #8.T4
  0014 JMPNZ #9.T3 [bool] RANGE[0..1] BB2
  ...

Main changes are:
1. SR opcode covers new path in function zend_jit_long_math_helper().
2. BW_AND and BW_OR opcodes are supported. See macro LONG_OP.
3. Function zend_jit_concat_helper() is added to support ASSIGN_OP
opcode. Speficically, CONCAT and FAST_CONCAT is supported for statements
"$out .= ...".
4. New path is covered in function zend_jit_cmp_long_long() by
IS_SMALLER opcode.
5. New path is covered in macros ZVAL_PTR_DTOR and ZVAL_DTOR_FUNC when
leaving.
