[wp-hackers] HipHop?

[Erick Hitter]

One specific failure is that HHVM doesn't support case-insensitive
constants. At phptek 2013, Sarah
Golemon<http://tek13.phparch.com/speakers/#golemon>mentioned this as a
specific modification they'd made to Core to run WP on
HHVM (the blog at http://www.hhvm.com/blog/ is WP + HHVM).

The $wpdb class makes use of one (
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/wp-db.php?rev=25284#L20).
There may be other cases, but that's the only one I can recall.
