If enabled, a fast shutdown sequence is used that doesn't free each
allocated block, but relies on the Zend Engine memory manager to
deallocate the entire set of request variables en masse.

This directive has been removed in PHP 7.2.0. A variant of the fast

<simpara>
When enabled, the opcode cache will be checked for whether a file has
already been cached when <function>file_exists</function>,
<function>is_file</function> and <function>is_readable</function> are
called. This may increase performance in applications that check the
existence and readability of PHP scripts, but risks returning stale data

A bitmask that controls which optimisation passes are executed.
The default value is <literal>0x7FFEBFFF</literal>, which enables all
safe optimizations. Disabling optimizations or enabling unsafe optimizations
is mostly useful for debugging/developing the optimizer.

Each bit in the bitmask enables a specific optimization pass:

<title>Safe vs Unsafe Optimizations</title>
<simpara>
<emphasis>Safe optimizations</emphasis> (enabled by default) preserve the exact
behavior of PHP code while improving performance. They include dead code elimination,
constant folding, and jump optimization.
</simpara>
<simpara>
<emphasis>Unsafe optimizations</emphasis> (disabled by default) may alter behavior
in edge cases:
</simpara>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<emphasis>Bit 14</emphasis>: Collecting constants. Constants are substituted
at compile-time, ignoring runtime declaration order:
</simpara>
<informalexample>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
echo getA(); // Outputs: "hello" instead of throwing an Error

<simpara>
<emphasis>Bit 16</emphasis>: Ignoring operator overloading.
Unsafe when using classes with <literal>do_operation</literal>
(e.g. <link linkend="book.gmp">GMP</link>,
<link linkend="book.bc">BCMath</link>) in arithmetic operations.
With type declarations, the optimizer can apply the same optimizations safely.
