igbinary-hhvm

Requirements: HHVM >= 3.22 (May support earlier versions in future commits)

(Around 52 tests passing, 7 tests failing)

Native igbinary for HHVM. Mostly working, with some edge cases

Functionality

So far, the following work:

• Scalars(Strings, Booleans, numbers)
• Arrays of scalars
• Objects
• Arrays/Objects containing duplicate values
• Integration with libraries using igbinary
• Objects with magic methods (serialize,unserialize,__sleep,__wakeup)

The following need more work:

• Cyclic data structures (May just be how var_dump represents it, need to investigate)
• Objects with magic methods (__wakeup, __destruct)
• References are still unsupported. Haven't decided when/if igbinary should throw, convert to a regular value, etc.

External integration, such as with APCu, Memcached, Redis, session serializers, etc. won't work. (without their sources being patched)

Incompatibilities

References to PHP objects (as in is_object) are now intended to be treated as non-references to objects when serializing, to match what the HHVM serializer does in php compatibility mode.

TODO: Check what the current compatibility mode is.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/TysonAndre/igbinary-hhvm
$ cd igbinary-hhvm
$ hphpize && cmake . && make
$ cp igbinary.so /path/to/your/hhvm/ext/dir

hhvm-dev must be installed for hphpize to work.

Testing

$ make test

To add ini options for a specific test (e.g. 042.php), add 042.php.ini? Global test ini options are in test/config.ini

To port test 00x.phpt to HHVM's test framework, split it up into 00x.php, 00x.php.skipif, 00x.php.expect (or 00x.php.expectf). If there are any ini settings specific to that test, those go in 00x.php.ini?
