this causes some breakage to the behaviour of Terminal, and for that reason this is going on 4.0.
Terminal::hasFormattingCodes() will no longer auto-detect whether colour codes are supported.
This is better for performance because these then don't need to be reevaluated every time they are called.
When encountering an unqualified function or constant reference, PHP will first try to locate a symbol in the current namespace by that name, and then fall back to the global namespace.
This short-circuits the check, which has substantial performance effects in some cases - in particular, ord(), chr() and strlen() show ~1500x faster calls when they are fully qualified.
However, this doesn't mean that PM is getting a massive amount faster. In real world terms, this translates to about 10-15% performance improvement.
But before anyone gets excited, you should know that the CodeOptimizer in the PreProcessor repo has been applying fully-qualified symbol optimizations to Jenkins builds for years, which is one of the reasons why Jenkins builds have better performance than home-built or source installations.
We're choosing to do this for the sake of future SafePHP integration and also to be able to get rid of the buggy CodeOptimizer, so that phar and source are more consistent.
Previously every thread using the logger had to inherit runtime-defined INI entries in order for the timezone to be set correctly. This removes that requirement.
This cleans a lot of mess out of the bootstrap file, and also has the added bonus that threads which do not inherit functions can now get access to them by autoloading Utils.
This also removes a cyclic dependency between TextFormat and Terminal, meaning that TextFormat is now standalone without any external dependencies.
This is also an API break. Beware all ye who wander here, master = bleeding-edge!
Synchronize with the logger thread when logging an exception or killing. This forces the main thread to wait for disk write to complete when logging exceptions or killing the process.
- Fixed log writes being blocking (these were executed on a thread, but IN A SYNCHRONIZED BLOCK - what the fuck shoghi?!)
- Fixed log file being open for reading as well as writing
- The logger will now be buffered for 25ms before writing to disk, as it should have been to begin with.
- Moved the log resource to a local variable (it's unsafe to try to access resources from different threads, this takes away the ability to do so)
- Fixed line endings to use PHP_EOL instead of hardcoded LF, fix viewing logs in Notepadi
Remove null hint from MainLogger::getLogger() so static analysis doesn't complain everywhere
just make sure you register the logger before trying to use MainLogger::getLogger() on a different thread!
All plugins will need to bump the API if they want to use this.
NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE FINAL API 2.0.0 AND THAT THERE WILL BE MORE CHANGES.
To start updating, you might also want to read https://secure.php.net/manual/en/migration70.php and specifically https://secure.php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php
To compile PHP7 with some of the required dependencies, use https://gist.github.com/shoghicp/166ab26ce5cc7a390f45
ONLY LINUX IS TESTED, DO NOT ASK FOR OTHER PLATFORMS!
----- THIS VERSION IS NOT SUPPORTED -----
This version WILL crash randomly in unexpected places due to PHP7, pthreads, PocketMine or cosmic rays.
Handle with care, and store under direct sunlight for the best performance.
