 Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 8:41 am Post subject: Smarty HHVM / HPHP |
 |
|
Hi, i was wondering whether i could get a straight answer to this as i am struggling else where.
Is Smarty compatible with HHVM/HPHP ?
If not are there any recommended other routes that can compile the code to process the site quicker *Excess 2m lines currently.
Thanks |

Quicker than what? Spherically quicker?
Smarty includes an extensible caching layer, that could just let you skip your "2m lines" and get straight to the results. |

Ha, currently we are using Smarty Cache and it is as slow as hell
Also Ajax is slow, now one could put down to bad coding but the companies we have used are saying this is not the case . |

I don't know your specifics, but from what you're saying, Smarty could be not the culprit here. Especially when you mention AJAX.
However, when speaking about Smarty itself, it should theoretically work. But I don't think you can get much speedup, comparing to latest versions of PHP. |

Smarty can run with HHVM, but currently the HHVM hackificator will not convert automatically all Smarty classes.
There is some work in process to optimize the next release 3.1.22 for HHVM. |

Thank you, is there any set release date?
Also what is the easiest process to align a existing site to HHVM? will a core code rebuild be required or a simple add the HHVM in and align scripts to feed in to it? - this area is very confusing as there is nothing in layman terms on how to set up... |

Smarty can run on HHVM today. Just install it as normal.
But HHVM current has one PHP5 incompatibility issue.
See https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/issues/4797#issuecomment-73614165
Because of that you may see the content of an updated template source or cached template with the delay of one page call.
Normally this should not be acceptable.
I have currently no idea when the people from HHVM will fix this.
Besides that there are no know issues when running Smarty on HHVM.
The upcoming major Smarty version 3.2 will include some optimizations for HHVM. It will allow to convert most of the Smarty code with the HHVM hackificator to Hack. This will increase speed a bit more. |
