**Zephir** - Ze(nd Engine) Ph(p) I(nt)r(mediate) - is a high level language that eases the creation and maintainability

of extensions for PHP. Zephir extensions are exported to C code that can be compiled and optimized by major C compilers

such as gcc/clang/vc++. Functionality is exposed to the PHP language.

Main features:

* Both dynamic/static typing

* Reduced execution overhead compared with full interpretation

* Restricted procedural programming, promoting OOP

* Memory safety

* Ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler to provide predictable performance

Compiler design goals:

* Multi-pass compilation

* Type speculation/inference

* Allow runtime profile-guided optimizations, pseudo-constant propagation and indirect/virtual function inlining

## Requirements

* [re2c](http://re2c.org/)

* [Zephir Parser](https://github.com/phalcon/php-zephir-parser) >= 1.1.0

* `g++` >= 4.4 | `clang++` >= 3.x | `vc++` >= 11

* GNU `make` >= 3.81

* `automake`

* PHP development headers and tools
