pecl install

~Another question here is how to install the extensions, as PHP8 come without PECL (pear) to install.~ pecl install is working without problems with php8.

But now it's failing with php7.4, if it isn't installed php-xml.

JIT

Later we will test the performance with JIT enabled. :smiley: The effect will be bigger in async applications.

swoole Can't use JIT https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src/issues/3986 Warning: JIT is incompatible with third party extensions that setup user opcode handlers. JIT disabled.
