This needs to go into 5.4 as well, but will wait for Pierre to review win32 situation
# Patch by Lucas Nealan, Arnaud Le Blanc, Brian Shire & Ilia Alshanetsky
. zend_function.pass_rest_by_reference is replaced by
ZEND_ACC_PASS_REST_BY_REFERENCE in zend_function.fn_flags
. zend_function.return_reference is replaced by ZEND_ACC_RETURN_REFERENCE
in zend_function.fn_flags
. zend_arg_info.required_num_args removed. it was needed only for internal
functions. Now the first arg_info for internal function (which has special
meaning) is represented by zend_internal_function_info structure.
. zend_op_array.size, size_var, size_literal, current_brk_cont,
backpatch_count moved into CG(context), because they are used only during
compilation.
. zend_op_array.start_op is moved into EG(start_op), because it's used
only for 'interactive' execution of single top-level op-array.
. zend_op_array.done_pass_two is replaced by ZEND_ACC_DONE_PASS_TWO in
zend_op_array.fn_flags.
. op_array.vars array is trimmed (reallocated) during pass_two.
. zend_class_entry.constants_updated is replaced by
ZEND_ACC_CONSTANTS_UPDATED in zend_class_entry.ce_flags
. the size of zend_class_entry is reduced by sharing the same memory space
by different information for internal and user classes.
See zend_class_inttry.info union.

# Ok, here we go, I guess that will result in more discussion, which is fine
# by me. But now, the patch is here, and properly archived.
#
# See below a list of notes to the patch, it also includes a list of
# points which should be fixed
#
# Internals of the Traits Patch
# -----------------------------
#
# Open TODOs
# """"""""""
#
# - Reflection API
# - support for traits for internal classes
# - currently destroy_zend_class does not handle that case
#
# Introduced Structures
# """""""""""""""""""""
#
# Data structures to encode the composition information specified in the
# source:
# - zend_trait_method_reference
# - zend_trait_precedence
# - zend_trait_alias
#
# Changes
# """""""
#
# zend_class_entry
# - uses NULL terminated lists of pointers for
# - trait_aliases
# - trait_precedences
# - do you prefer an explicit counter?
# - the information is only necessary during class composition
# but might be interesting for reflection
# - did not want to blow up class further with not really necessary length counters
#
# added keywords
# - trait
# - insteadof
#
# Added opcodes
# ZEND_ADD_TRAIT
# - similar to ZEND_ADD_INTERFACE
# - adds the trait to the list of traits of a class, no actual composition done
# ZEND_BIND_TRAITS
# - emitted in zend_do_end_class_declaration
# - concludes the class definition and will initiate the trait composition
# when the class definition is encountered during runtime
#
# Added Flags
# ZEND_ACC_TRAIT = 0x120
# ZEND_ACC_IMPLEMENT_TRAITS = 0x400000
# ZEND_FETCH_CLASS_TRAIT = 14
#
# zend_vm_execute.h
# - not sure whether the handler initialization (ZEND_ADD_TRAIT_SPEC_HANDLER,
# ZEND_BIND_TRAITS_SPEC_HANDLER) is correct, maybe it should be more selective
#
# zend_compile.c
# - refactored do_inherit_method_check
# split into do_inherit_method_check and do_inheritance_check_on_method
# - added helper functions use a '_' as prefix and are not mentioned in the
# headers
# - _copy_functions
# prepare hash-maps of functions which should be merged into a class
# here the aliases are handled
# - _merge_functions
# builds a hash-table of the methods which need to be added to a class
# does the conflict detection
# - reused php_runkit_function_copy_ctor
# - it is not identical with the original code anymore, needed to update it
# think I fixed some bugs, not sure whether all have been reported back to runkit
# - has to be renamed, left the name for the moment, to make its origin obvious
# - here might be optimization potential
# - not sure whether everything needs to be copied
# - copying the literals might be broken
# - added it since the literals array is freed by efree and gave problems
# with doubled frees
# - all immutable parts of the zend_op array should not be copied
# - am not sure which parts are immutable
# - and not sure how to avoid doubled frees on the same arrays on shutdown
# - _merge_functions_to_class
# does the final merging with the target class to handle inherited
# and overridden methods
# - small helper for NULL terminated lists
# zend_init_list, zend_add_to_list
#
# zend_language_parser.y
# - reused class definition for traits
# - there should be something with regard to properties
# - if they get explicitly defined, it might be worthwhile to
# check that there are no collisions with other traits in a composition
# (however, I would not introduce elaborate language features to control that
# but a notice for such conflicts might be nice to the developers)
. ZEND_RECV now always has IS_CV as its result
. ZEND_CATCH now has to be used only with constant class names
. ZEND_FETCH_DIM_? may fetch array and dimension operans in a different order
sigsetjmp use setjmp. Windows is of course weird in that it seems to
have sigsetjmp but not sigjmp_buf (??) so force it to use setjmp in
config.w32.h.in
consistent in how we deal with the signal mask. POSIX doesn't specify
what to do with the signal mask in setjmp/longjmp which has resulted in
the signal mask getting saved on *BSD and not getting saved on Linux.
Making the behaviour explicit via sigsetjmp/siglongjmp gives us
consistency and saves expensive sigprocmask() syscalls on *BSD.
