phathom/ext
===========

[](#phathomext)

This extension re-implements the internal API of `pharos\phathom\Earley`, mirroring the userland implementation but removing the cost of object allocation (in this namespace).

The following classes are implemented (only):

- `pharos\phathom\Earley\Chart`
- `pharos\phathom\Earley\Evaluator`
- `pharos\phathom\GLR\Chart`
- `pharos\phathom\GLR\Evaluator`

When the extension is loaded, they will usurp the function of the userland implementations transparently.

*This extension is intended to be a faithful mirror; A competent `PHP` programmer ought to be able to navigate this `C` code if they are familiar with the `PHP` implementation and they like to fix or add a thing.*

Install
-------

[](#install)

To configure the extension for normal installation

`./configure`

Run a normal build:

`make`

Install:

`make install`

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

To configure the extension with coverage:

`./configure --with-phathom-coverage`

Run a normal build:

`make`

To run coverage collection with lcov over phpunit tests:

`TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/php make phathom-test-coverage-html`

Will generate a `coverage` directory with html and `coverage.info` with data.

*Note: the coverage recipe from Makefile.frag does not require installation of the extension*

### Notes

[](#notes)

It's important that the extension and PHP code are kept in sync; The extension treats the layout of PHP objects as stable ABI (ie, the properties must not change order).

*Note that, PHP objects do have a stable ABI with regard to the property layout, since [NG](https://wiki.php.net/phpng-int).*
