pecl install

Another question here is how to install the extensions, as PHP8 come without PECL (pear) to install.
pecl install is working without problems with php8.

But now it's failing with php7.4, if it isn't installed php-xml.

JIT

Later we will test the performance with JIT enabled. 😃
The effect will be bigger in async applications.

swoole Can't use JIT swoole/swoole-src#3986
Warning: JIT is incompatible with third party extensions that setup user opcode handlers. JIT disabled.
