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.
The Generator class now uses a zend_generator struct, so it'll be able to
store additional info.
This commit also ensures that Generator cannot be directly instantiated
and extended. The error tests are now in a separate folder from the
(yet-to-come) functional tests.
