Hello,
Due to the "read only" specification of Google App Engine, Smarty cannot write the compiled files to the filesystem. Could you please add the possibility to create custom compile resources, such as you have done with the cache resources, so that we can register our own based on Memcached for example.
Thanks

Although it is possible to do, ask yourself this: have you ever tried to have PHP read .php files from memory? Does it work very well? Eval-ing code is not an answer either.

PHP must read its files from the file system. Smarty compiled files are PHP files. PHP op-code caches them in memory for you.

If you really want PHP files in a memcache, you will have to use some sort of mem-disk at the file-system level that is transparent to running processes. IE. not something that Smarty directly deals with.

I don't have an answer for Google Apps, but if you did put compiled code in memcache and eval'ed it, your script execution times would take a big nose dive.
