Currently the debugger prints the line where an exception has been thrown, along with the type exception. Then it prints the source listing of the exception. Then it prints a serialization of the exception, which includes a full stack trace. Since the debugger has a command for printing stack traces, the latter bit information seems completely redundant when stopped in the command line client. This diff suppresses the stack trace in that case. It also suppresses redundant diagnostics that get generated during the debugger's attempt to find and print the source code in response to a list command. Finally, the quit command was too eager to let the client die after notifying the proxy, causing the proxy to get a pipe closed exception rather than the quit command, which often allowed the program to carry on running after the client has already quit. The quit command now waits for an acknowledgement from the proxy before shutting down.
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.
Installing
You can install a prebuilt package or compile from source.
Running
You can run standalone programs just by passing them to hhvm: hhvm my_script.php.
HipHop bundles in a webserver. So if you want to run on port 80 in the current directory:
sudo hhvm -m server
For anything more complicated, you'll want to make a config.hdf and run sudo hhvm -m server -c config.hdf.
Contributing
We'd love to have your help in making HipHop better. If you run into problems, please open an issue, or better yet, fork us and send a pull request. Join us on #hhvm on freenode.
If you want to help but don't know where to start, try fixing some of the Zend tests that don't pass. You can run them with hphp/test/run. When they work, move them to zend/good and send a pull request.
