Wheeeeee! So far it sounds like most of these are things we can work around reasonably sensibly, so mostly good news. Any remaining issues with 'scary reference stuff' like stub objects, or do those semantics actually already work for us?
I'm not expecting any problems with stub objects.
One piece of good news that I neglected to mention is that MediaWiki appears to work almost unmodified under the HipHop command-line interpreter, hphpi. I did some page views and edits in it. I think this must be what Inez is doing, judging by his very short patch. If there were any problems with things like references, you'd expect them to show up there.
Stub objects would probably break with the compiler option "AllDynamic" off, but so would a lot of things. That's why it's on in the build scripts I've written.
