Talk:HipHop

XHProf
XHProf discussion is orthogonal to HipHop as XHProf is a Zend PHP extension (not a HipHop one). My understanding is that HipHop does implement a XHProf-like interface somewhere in its codebase that may or may not be API compatible with XHProf

Missing discussion of HHVM
We probably should add a discussion on that HipHop on MW is deferred (currently) until HHVM is available in late 2012.

discussion of extensions directory
We probably need a discussion on setting up and adding extensions to the compile path a la Manual:$wgExtensionsDirectory. The reason, at least is that the variable may not be set, and, if so, will be set to the wrong path vs. non-compiled installs ( $IP/../extensions instead of $IP/extensions ). If people want to compile an extension into HipHop they need to know both how to configure it into their LocalSettings and where to place the extension.

HHVM and HipHop
It's an extremely bad idea to have pages titled HHVM and HipHop. It sucks to have to tell people "oh, you were on the HipHop page...you should be on the HHVM page, that's where all of the up-to-date information is".

This used to be clearer. "HipHop" was about getting things running, though so out of date to be completely useless. "HipHop deployment" was about our deployment activities. While having a useless page around was something that needed to be fixed, now we have two things that need to be fixed. Please fix. Thanks. -- RobLa-WMF (talk) 19:16, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * RobLa-WMF: I've added a historical explanation on HHVM and redirected HipHop there. guillom 17:46, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
