You're confusing opcode caching with shared memory caching.
thanks, as already mentioned, I anticipated that difference.
Having the Zend Optimizer doesn't prohibit you from using APC's shared memory caching.
But APC has issues with PHP 5.4 . What can we MediaWiki developers do to get this (APC) working with PHP 5.4+
Nothing, unless someone wants to contribute upstream with patches or bug reports.
And since Zend Optimizer doesn't do shared memory functionality, there's no "support" that needs to be added anywhere (now, if they introduce such a feature, that's another story).
+1 Wouldn't that be an improvement, can you contact these people ? I found, that APC is a "must have" for larger MediaWikis, and would like to see further methods supported in the core or by extensions.
Sure, it'd be an improvement--go ahead and file a bug wherever it belongs upstream (github?). If and when they decide to implement it, *then* would be the time to make MW changes :)
