at startup. This caches the manifest, so that on first access to a phar archive, no file manifest parsing occurs.
This could use further tweaking. For instance, the full copy of the manifest into the current process may be unnecessary if refcounting could be external
to the manifest. This would be another significant gain. With APC, I measure a slight perf increase to 19 req/sec up from 16 req/sec, without it approaches
regular PHP at 3.8 req/sec (regular is 4 req/sec). This is benching phpMyAdmin
for the contents of the exported private key to Phar->setSignatureAlgorithm, and expects the public key to be in
a file named blah.phar.pubkey in the same directory as the phar blah.phar. This works with openssl static or
shared and fails gracefully if openssl is not present without adding a dependency. config.w32 needs updating to match config.m4 [DOC]
this is done by removing zlib/bz2 explicit dependencies because they are unnecessary
we only ever use the stream filter, and the check for existence has
been moved to runtime where it is after startup
which then allows easy creation of tar/zip-based phar archives with a simple rename even when phar.readonly=1. Plug the hole very tightly, allowing read access to
files, and also excluding them from opendir() output
