Changed the Set of all interfaces imlemented by a Class with an IndexedMap. Also changed the classof (and thus instanceof) to lookup in that map by name to see if an interface is imlemented by a class. That replaces the previous mechanism that would walk the class hierarchy dereferencing PreClass in order to see if the interface was in the class inheritance. The new model seems to lead to better performance in terms of CPU instructions, lodas and stores. The latest perflab also showed improved CPU time though that may be just lucky noise. We have also removed the Class::classof (PreClass*) method which leads to a slightly cleaner code.
HipHop VM for PHP
HipHop VM (HHVM) is a new open-source virtual machine designed for executing programs written in PHP. HHVM uses a just-in-time compilation approach to achieve superior performance while maintaining the flexibility that PHP developers are accustomed to. HipHop VM (and before it HPHPc) has realized > 5x increase in throughput for Facebook compared with Zend PHP 5.2.
HipHop is most commonly run as a standalone server, replacing both Apache and modphp.
