I think we are running into this problem:

facebook/hhvm#8111

We don't solve that problem, but we avoid it by specifying utf8 in a
different fashion. I also took the opportunity to use the "TFB-database"
hostname instead of the DBHOST environment variable because it's simpler
that way.

Here are the steps I took in a local TFB environment that make me think
we're running into the same issue as that GitHub issue:

  • Run toolset/run-tests.py --mode verify --test hvm, see that it fails
    all tests with error messages that look like the application server
    simply isn't there

  • Enable logging in PHP/hhvm/deploy/config.hdf (basically copy the
    "Log" section over from config-debug.hdf), run the test again

  • Look at the log file it spit out, PHP/hhvm/error.log, notice messages
    like this:

    Core dumped: Segmentation fault
    Stack trace in /tmp/stacktrace.28653.log

  • /tmp is cleared by the TFB toolset each run, so I comment out that
    part of benchmarker.py that clears /tmp

  • Run the test again, look at the stacktrace file in /tmp, notice a
    stack trace referring to our implementation code like this:

    #0 PDO->__construct() called at [/home/techempower/FrameworkBenchmarks/frameworks/PHP/hhvm/once.php.inc:14]
    About PHP #1 Benchmark->setup_db() called at [/home/techempower/FrameworkBenchmarks/frameworks/PHP/hhvm/once.php.inc:31]
    Benchmarking tool suggestion. #2 Benchmark->bench_db() called at [/home/techempower/FrameworkBenchmarks/frameworks/PHP/hhvm/db.php:10]
    Update and improve Compojure #3 main() called at [/home/techempower/FrameworkBenchmarks/frameworks/PHP/hhvm/db.php:13]

  • Google a bit, come across a GitHub issue talking about a similar
    problem when they used "SET NAMES"

  • Comment the part of PHP/hhvm/once.php.inc that uses SET NAMES, run
    test again and it worked, except for fortunes which failed because of
    character encoding problems

  • Google for a different way to specify utf8 in the PDO constructor,
    try it again, all tests pass locally
