Zephir extensions are exported to C code that can be compiled and optimized by major C compilers such as gcc/clang/vc++. Functionality is exposed to the PHP language. Main features: - Both dynamic/static typing - Reduced execution overhead compared with full interpretation - Restricted procedural programming, promoting OOP - Memory safety - Ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler to provide predictable performance Compiler design goals: - Multi-pass compilation - Type speculation/inference - Allow runtime profile-guided optimizations, pseudo-constant propagation and indirect/virtual function inlining Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) To compile zephir-parser: - [re2c](http://re2c.org/) To build the PHP extension: - g++ >= 4.4/clang++ >= 3.x/vc++ 9 - gnu make 3.81 or later - php development headers and tools Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install zephir using composer. Run `composer require phalcon/zephir`, run `./install` and then run `zephir`from your `bin-dir`. By default it is `./vendor/bin/zephir`. You can read more about composer binaries in it's [documentation](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/vendor-binaries.md). For global installation via composer you can use `composer global require`. Do not forget add `~/.composer/vendor/bin` into your `$PATH`. Also you can just clone zephir repository and run `./install`. For global installation add `-c` flag. Additional notes on Ubuntu -------------------------- [](#additional-notes-on-ubuntu) The following packages are needed in Ubuntu: - apt-get install re2c libpcre3-dev Usage ----- [](#usage) Compile the extension: ``` ./bin/zephir compile ``` External Links -------------- [](#external-links) - [Documentation](https://zephir-lang.com/) - [Official Blog](https://blog.zephir-lang.com/) - [Forum](https://forum.zephir-lang.com/) - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/zephirlang) License ------- [](#license) Zephir is open-sourced software licensed under the MIT License.
