implementation, and allows exceptions to 'fire' much earlier than before.
Instructions on how to use the new mechanism will follow on internals@
shortly...
Note - this (most probably) breaks the current implementation of
set_exception_handler()
implementation.
Using clone directly is now done using
$replica = clone $src;
Clone methods must now be declared as follows:
function __clone($that)
{
}
Clone methods in derived classes can call the __clone method of their parent
classes using parent::__clone($that)
internal non-static methods statically.
# As discussed with Zeev:
# - For BC standard userspace methods allow this with an E_STRICT message.
# - If you want to implement an internal method taht can be called both
# statically and non-statically then use flag ZEND_ACC_ALLOW_STATIC.
# - Magic user space methods __*() cannot and __construct, __destruct,
# __clone can never be called statically.
add E_STRICT warnings in case you return something by reference that you're
not supposed to (anything that's not a variable, or a return-value of a
function that returned by reference).
- Use this to prevent memleaks when an exception gets thrown in ctors.
# I added the dtor flags for consistency, atm a compareable check in
# isn't necessary for destruction. But anyway i'll use this for the
# Relection API too.
including:
- Whether or not to pass by ref (replaces the old arg_types, with arg_info)
- Argument name (for future use, maybe introspection)
- Class/Interface name (for type hints)
- If a class/interface name is available, whether to allow a null instance
Both user and builtin functions share the same data structures.
To declare a builtin function that expects its first arg to be an instance
of class 'Person', its second argument as a regular arg, and its third by
reference, use:
ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO(my_func_arg_info, 0)
ZEND_ARG_OBJ_INFO(0, someone, Person, 1)
ZEND_ARG_PASS_INFO(0)
ZEND_ARG_PASS_INFO(1)
ZEND_END_ARG_INFO();
and use my_func_arg_info as the arg_info parameter to the ZEND_FE() family
of macros.
The first arg to each ZEND_ARG_*() macro is whether or not to pass by ref.
The boolean arg to ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO() tells the engine whether to treat
the arguments for which there's no explicit information as pass by reference
or not.
The boolean argument to ZEND_ARG_OBJ_INFO() (4th arg) is whether or not to allownull values.
- The fields of zend_namespace were not completely initialized which
led to a variety of problems.
- The occurrence of class/interface/namespace definition is now
captured.
- Functions/classes/interfaces/namespaces can be preceded by doc
comments which are stored for use by extensions.
