Ok, I made C compiler in PHP (c.php Ep.01)

I initially planned to compile C into Assembly but due to limited time I implemented only the Python backend. But the code is pretty flexible. So if you need the Assembly backend feel free to submit a PR: github.com/tsoding/c.php

[@keremardicli4013]

While using PHP you have to keep in mind that it is a language mainly developed for web pages, can run together with html and so. It evolved alot and has become a real backend language with great oops features. It is not a compiled language and meant to run as long as possible with interference. To prevent type conversion etc you can use strict types. Then you need to tell what kind of a variable it is

[@GegoXaren]

It seems you can use type-hinting in PHP now. It's been possible since 7.4. That would make code a bit more readable. You can do something like: class A { public string $my_str; public __construct (string $str) { $this->my_str = $str; } }

[@yyny0]

This is the only thing we allow at work, no more dynamic typing.

[@GegoXaren]

​@@yyny0 Yeah, dynamic typing is a bane.

[@project-lu3qv]

You can even do something like this since php8: class A { public function __construct(public string $str){} }

[@GegoXaren]

@@project-lu3qv That is a bit too.... Un-verbose for my taste. Lol.

[@jordixboy]

@@yyny0 I never understood that, why use a language like PHP or Python to later force Types? the whole point of these languages is exactly that: "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then probably its a duck". If you want type-safety use a language that comes with type-safety like rust

Of course PHP has associative arrays as first-class citizens, and classes only added later, so idiomatic PHP would have used associative arrays for most of the data structures.. what you've written is a very C-style PHP with structs as classes... I do like what you've done tho - very entertaining

[@soniablanche5672]

arrays are really weird in php, out of all the languages I use, it's the only one that copies the array when you pass it to another variable or to a function argument. If you don't want to copy the array, you have to explicitly put a "&" in the function parameter so that it's passed by reference.

[@Lars-ce4rd]

Nice text file editing session.

[@churchers]

I know a lot of people hate on php and it has its faults, but it’s annoying to see someone constantly complain when they are trying to blow through the process so fast they don’t bother to actually read up on anything for more than 3 seconds and don’t try to understand what’s right in front on them. Re the stack trace at the start, it very clearly threw at line 4. The trace shows that it was called via the todo function (#0), from the Lexer method call (#1), called from main (#3). There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.

[@robmckennie4203]

Okay but you carefully read things and have not written a C compiler in PHP in 3 hours, so who's the real winner here?

I understand your frustration with the auto evaluation compare operator == but I would like to point out that the string from md5 is not a string like the hex that is printed when you echo it. It is a literal ByteString, not a string like ascii or utf8 or another. Think of it as a ByteArray but works with almost all the str functions. Nowhere have I seen this explained, but in my DFA parser library in PHP it tripped me a few times. Thanks for the good development streams. I watch all of them that make it to KZbin.

[@TsodingDaily]

This fact is besides my point twitter.com/tsoding/status/1643464258192015360

[@DonaldDuvall]

Sorry, I misspoke on the md5 that one is actually a string. It is the sodium_* functions which return the raw bytes in a string. How is my sympathy of the frustration of the eval comparator operator beside the point?

[@soniablanche5672]

in php, regular string are actually byte arrays. $emoji = "😀"; echo strlen($emoji) // returns 4 echo $emoji[0]; // returns "�" because it's not a valid utf8 byte sequence echo $emoji[0] . $emoji[1] . $emoji[2] . $emoji[3]; //returns "😀" because it's the utf8 byte sequence of this emoji It makes sense since PHP is heavily inspired by C

Alternative title : bullying PHP for three hours straight

[@DumblyDorr]

W3C is about the worst way to learn about PHP. Not just aren't constructors not mentioned - it lacks all typing and modern features, like readonly properties, (backed) enums, constructor property promotion, annotations. PHP is pretty close to most other OO-languages with first-class functions by now with the omission of generics and typed instance variables (though there are plugins supported by most IDEs where you can add generic type-checking via docblocks or annotation). Even has a few things that are more convenient for writing good OO-code than e.g. C# or Java. Old built-in function sometimes have inconsistent parameter order, but that's not really a problem in an IDE. For the last 4-5 years, it's been pretty clean, performant (has a JIT compiler since 8) and comfortable. It's mixin-handling and package-management are some of the most convenient I know. You also have a strict-typing option, which prevents accidental typecasting. Anf if you then type your functions, you also get an error when you try to pass/return something not matching the signature. I still much prefer languages with generics - but most have their own problems. TypeScript has a great type-system, but its got node/deno/bun for server-side programming and the entailed suboptimal package-management. Scala has a superb type-system, but JVM has such a big footprint, and native compilation is limited and a hassle - only Coq, Idris 2 and Agda have a nicer type-system for me, but you don't build applications with those. Rust is also nice, but too inconvenient for higher-level stuff. Python's typing has matured a great deal, and I quite like it, even though generics are a bit cumbersome. If one can live with design-time generics via annotations or docblocks, PHP is actually a decent choice for quite a few situations, because for all the increased expressive power and ability to write clean OO-code, it hasn't lost its convenience, low footprint and high velocity. Far less cumbersome than C or C++, far more lightweight than C# or Java. I didn't understand the problem with the stack trace... it exactly traces the callstack in inside-out order, nothing random about it.
