And convert some object to string conversion related recoverable
fatal errors into Error exceptions.
Improve exception safety of internal code performing string
conversions.
We currently have a large performance problem when implementing lexers
working on UTF-8 strings in PHP. This kind of code tends to perform a
large number of matches at different offsets on a single string. This
is generally fast. However, if /u mode is used, the full string will
be UTF-8 validated on each match. This results in quadratic runtime.
This patch fixes the issue by adding a IS_STR_VALID_UTF8 flag, which
is set when we have determined that the string is valid UTF8 and
further validation is skipped.
A limitation of this approach is that we can't set the flag for interned
strings. I think this is not a problem for this use-case which will
generally work on dynamic data. If we want to use this flag for other
purposes as well (mbstring?) then it might be worthwhile to UTF-8 validate
strings during interning. But right now this doesn't seem useful.
This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.
A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.
This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.
With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.
Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.
When the PHP source code was versioned in Subversion, there was
possible to substitute certain keywords such as $Id$ with revision
number, last change time and author name. Such approach is not used
in Git so this patch removes these outdated artifacts from source
code files.
Prohibit direct update of GC_REFCOUNT(), GC_SET_REFCOUNT(), GC_ADDREF() and GC_DELREF() shoukf be instead.
Added mactros to validate reference-counting (disabled for now).
These macros are going to be used to eliminate race-condintions during reference-counting on data shared between threads.
Hereby, interned strings are supported in thread safe PHP. The patch
implements two types of interned strings
- interning per process, strings are not freed till process end
- interning per request, strings are freed at request end
There is no runtime interning.
With Opcache, all the permanent iterned strings are copied into SHM on
startup, additional copying into SHM might happen on demand.

Use the new 'ZSTR' macros in the rest of the code.
Does not change anything to the generated code (thanks to compat macros) but cleaner.

Improve zend_string API
Add missing methods
There's always a possibility that the has will end up as equal to zero due to overflowing.
See the tests for strings whose hash overflow.
Yes, there's a check for whether the hash already was calculated... and strings with a hash equal to zero always need the hash recalculated, in one of 2^32 respectively 2^64 cases - which should not be a major issue.
