This is incredibly interesting. Thanks for mentioning it. Unfortunately it’s not yet ready:
replyI’ll keep checking
It runs everything that any software I've ever written needs - and I've been doing PHP since dates began with `19`.
replyBut since php isn’t complied, how would I know if something is broken until every code path is exercised? Genuine question
replyYou exercise every code path with a unit or integration test.
replyI tend to write integration tests for the paths users take through the application (website), and fill in the holes with unit tests. I'll also write unit tests for methods that change often or are critical, such as business logic.
I wonder if PHP compiled with Fil-C would have stopped that bug. My guess is it would have.
replyMy tests show that it would. The post-patch integration tests trap under Fil-C, and the StealMyBitcoin exploit chain traps too.

It’s also compatible with most PHP native extensions.
