EG(arg_types_stack) is now also backed up when generators are used. This
allows the use of yield in nested method calls.
This commit adds two new functions to the zend_ptr_stack API:
zend_ptr_stack_push_from_memory
zend_ptr_stack_pop_into_memory
both taking the following arguments:
zend_ptr_stack *stack, int count, void **pointers
If you try to traverse an already closed generator an exception will now be
thrown.
Furthermore this changes the error for traversing a by-val generator by-ref
from an E_ERROR to an Exception.
* Trying to resume a generator while it is already running now throws a
fatal error.
* Trying to use yield in finally while the generator is being force-closed
(by GC) throws a fatal error.
* Rewinding after the first yield now throws an Exception
It looks like you have to implement the Iterator interface *before*
assigning get_iterator. Otherwise the structure for user iterators isn't
correctly zeroed out.
Additionaly I'm setting class_entry->iterator_funcs.funcs now. Not sure if
this is strictly necessary, but better safe than sorry ;)
If a generator threw an exception and was iterated using foreach (i.e. not
manually) an infinite loop was triggered. The reason was that the exception
was not properly rethrown using zend_throw_exception_internal.
Generators are now automatically detected by the presence of a `yield`
expression in their body.
This removes the ZEND_SUSPEND_AND_RETURN_GENERATOR opcode. Instead
additional checks for ZEND_ACC_GENERATOR are added to the fcall_common
helper and zend_call_function.
This also adds a new function zend_generator_create_zval, which handles
the actual creation of the generator zval from an op array.
I feel like I should deglobalize the zend_create_execute_data_from_op_array
code a bit. It currently changes EG(current_execute_data) and
EG(opline_ptr) which is somewhat confusing (given the name).
Previously the zval* of the generator was passed into the VM by misusing
EG(return_value_ptr_ptr). Now the zend_generator* itself is directly passed
in. This saves us from always having to pass the zval* around everywhere.
To make the generator function show up in backtraces one has to insert an
additional execute_data into the chain, as prev_execute_data->function_state
is used to determine the called function.
Adding the additional stack frame is also required for func_get_args(), as
the arguments are fetched from there too. The arguments have to be copied
in order to keep them around. Due to the way they are saved doing so is
quite ugly, so I added another function zend_copy_arguments to zend_execute.c
which handles this.
The current situation is still not perfect, as the generator function itself
does not appear in the stack trace. This makes sense in some way, but it
would probably be more helpful if it would show up (with the bound arguments)
after the $generator->xyz() call. This could be misleading too though as the
function is not *really* called there.
Generators can now be cloned. I'm pretty sure that my current code does not
yet cover all the edge cases of cloning the execution context, so there are
probably a few bugs in there :)
During function calls arguments are pushed onto the stack. Now these are
backed up on yield and restored on resume. This requires memcpy'ing them,
but there doesn't seem to be any better way to do it.
Also this fixes the issue with exceptions thrown during function calls.
When no key is explicitely yielded PHP will used auto-incrementing keys
as a fallback. They behave the same as with arrays, i.e. the key is the
successor of the largest previously used integer key.
Keys are yielded using the
yield $key => $value
syntax. Currently this is implemented as a statement only and not as an
expression, because conflicts arise considering nesting and use in arrays:
yield yield $a => $b;
// could be either
yield (yield $a) => $b;
// or
yield (yield $a => $b);
Once I find some way to resolve these conflicts this should be available
as an expression too.
Also the key yielding code is rather copy-and-past-y for the value yielding
code, so that should be factored out.
Yield now is an expression and the return value is the value passed to
$generator->send(). By default (i.e. if ->next() is called) the value is
NULL.
Unlike in Python ->send() can be run without priming the generator with a
->next() call first.
To keep things clean two new functions are introduced:
zend_clean_and_cache_symbol_table(HashTable *symbol_table)
zend_free_compiled_variables(zval ***CVs, int num)
If the generator is closed before it has finished running, it may happen
that some FREE or SWITCH_FREE opcodes haven't been executed and memory is
leaked.
This fixes it by walking the brk_cont_array and manually freeing the
variables.
For generators ZEND_RETURN directly calls ZEND_VM_RETURN(), thus passing
execution back to the caller (zend_generator_resume).
This commit also adds a check that only return; is used in generators and
not return $value;.
This adds another function execute_ex(), which accepts a zend_execute_data
struct to run (contrary to execute(), which accepts a zend_op_array from
which it initialized the execute_data).
This needs a bit more cleanup.
