Now IS_BINRAY data type is removed and IS_STRING starts behave as IS_BINARY in unicode mode. IS_STRING is incompatible with IS_UNICODE, so ALL functions should be improved to support unicode mode.
as a string.

# Note that "Object #<id>" is no longer afallback for debugging purpose use
# var_dump, which was made for debugging. If you used this to grab the id
# of an object you can never rely on this. For object storage look at SPL's
# ObjectStorage class.

# Note the signature change in the cast handler:
#
# int (*cast_t)(zval *readobj, zval *writeobj, int type, int should_free TSRMLS_DC);
# int (*cast_t)(zval *readobj, zval *retval, int type TSRMLS_DC);
# We should make this an inline function to prevent unnecessary calls to
# get classentry or requir that class_entry must return a valid class_entry
# which we do iirc anyway.
a) We specialize opcodes according to op_type fields. Each opcode has to
be marked with which op_type's it uses.
b) We support different execution methods. Function handlers, switch()
and goto dispatching. goto seems to be the fastest but it really
depends on the compiler and how well it optimizes. I suggest playing
around with optimization flags.
- Warning: Things might break so keep us posted on how things are going.
(Dmitry, Andi)
- Enforce exceptions to be derived from class Exception. This allows
users to perform catch-all. It's not yet complete, so don't get
comfortable with it just yet :) Updates are coming soon.
- Implement zend_throw_exception() using zend_throw_exception_ex()
Note that this is available for downwards compatibility only - and it doesn't
work if you use new features (namely, interfaces). Generally, people should
declare their classes before using them, but we just didn't want hell to break
loose (c)
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()
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).
file/line/message info if possible.
- Add zend_eval_string_ex() to be able to handle exceptions in eval'd code.
- Use above function to fix memleaks in CLI.
1. Nested classes are gone.
2. New syntax for namespaces:
namespace foo {
class X { ... }
function bar { ... }
var x = 1;
const ZZ = 2;
}
3. Namespaced symbol access: $x = new foo::X; - etc.
For now, namespaces are case insensitive, just like classes.
Also, there can be no global class and namespace with the same name
(to avoid ambiguities in :: resolution).
Note: only standard Zend objects are working now. This is definitely going to
break custom objects like COM, Java, etc. - this will be fixed later.
Also, this may break other things that access objects' internals directly.
