Phing phar outputs gibberish on hhvm

[Vhab]

Unfortunately I can't dive into the issue to determine whether the issue is on Phing's side or HHVM, but the following steps work on php 5.3 and 5.6 while they don't on hhvm latest stable and nightly:

wget http://www.phing.info/get/phing-latest.phar -O phing.phar
php phing.phar -v

Expected output:

Phing 2.10.1

Received output looks like a few lines of random memory dump.

Tested on Ubuntu precise 64-bit.

what compression does the phar file use? gzip? zip?

[Vhab]

Unfortunately I don't know. We're just using Phing and noted the incompatibility when setting up tests with hhvm.

The Symfony phar file does the same. To reproduce:

curl -LsS http://symfony.com/installer > symfony.phar
php symfony.phar

It will spit out a bunch of lines of binary gibberish. On hhvm 3.6.1 and on 3.7.0-dev:

HipHop VM 3.7.0-dev (rel)
Compiler: heads/master-0-gcf047fe5c43aa7133ce5703d883251a3da486821
Repo schema: 9981acfe90e4e9812a5f3b03362744cae060a1d0

Tested on Debian jessie.

It does not seem to be compressed at all:

bauerj@dev~/test # wget http://www.phing.info/get/phing-latest.phar -O phing.phar
2015-04-19 23:33:26 (27.1 MB/s) - `phing.phar' saved [851181/851181]

bauerj@dev~/test # php phing.phar -v
Phing 2.10.1

bauerj@dev~/test # cat > 5139.php
<?php
$phar = new Phar('phing.phar');
var_dump($phar->isCompressed());


bauerj@dev~/test # php5 5139.php
bool(false)

root@bauerj ~/test # hhvm 5139.php
bool(false)

Also, the binary gibberish HHVM outputs for the phing.phar is actually the binary data at the end of the phar file. (0xcf5b3-0xcf907)

phing.phar doesn't output gibberish anymore, instead it complains about the build file not being found. Symphony still outputs gibberish though.

Hello people I don't know. I maintain and distribute an open source project with a phar, and users have reported the same problem. Adding the specifics in case one more data point helps.

[lexidor]

I am going over old issues on this repository, to see which ones apply to the current versions of hhvm.

Hhvm dropped support for the phar extension in version 4.1.0.
