New windows build

Hello all, Since we will soon be switching to the new Microsoft compiler for making official PHP builds I have created a couple test builds to see how it goes. There were some initial problems and we do have to adjust things in the build to accommodate for changes of how the C++ redistributable is packaged. We are now at a point where we have a usable build. I encourage PHP users on Windows to download the test build from http://edin.dk/archives/24-Second-PHP-build-using-the-new-compiler.html and provide feedback on any issues thy might have experienced.

It is running happily here (I tested on a pc without visual studio installed). Strangely or not, this new binary is much slower that the current snapshot from snaps.php.net. In a P4 2.0Ghz machine the bench.php script takes ~25 seconds with the old compiler and ~30 seconds with this new build :S Nuno ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edin Kadribasic" <edink@emini.dk> To: "PHP Internals List" <internals@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 11:02 PM Subject: [PHP-DEV] New windows build

That is very interesting. So we get a significant performance penalty with the new & improved compiler ;) Edin

Hm, my test shows that the new compiler produces slightly (2%) faster code. See the full output of both runs at: http://edin.dk/archives/25-Benchmarks.html Edin Nuno Lopes wrote:
