Hi
Arnaud, Ilija and I would like to propose making OPcache a non-optional
part of PHP starting with PHP 8.5.
Please find the RFC including more details at:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/make_opcache_required
As of now OPcache cannot be statically compiled into the PHP binary at
all, which is the direct opposite from what we are proposing. This is
due to an incompatibility between JIT and ZTS builds. Arnaud has
prepared a proof-of-concept implementation fixing this issue at:
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/18660. The changes in that PR would
also allow building static PHP binaries with OPcache enabled in the
first place (e.g. for use with FrankenPHP).
Best regards
Tim Düsterhus
