Nothing will change in that sense, the only difference is the addition of compile-time autoloading and type checking. No preloading (in the sense of no opcache configuration needed), nothing special. > If you use the JIT in advance, it becomes a very different tool - the point > of JIT compilation is to make use of runtime information about hot paths, the > actual types of dynamic arguments, etc Not with function JIT, function JIT is the closest thing we currently have to an AOT compiler in php (minus the actual executable generation, since it all happens in memory), it just compiles opcodes without any optimizations based on runtime type information (unlike tracing JIT, which does use runtime type information).
