- Perform implementation checks even with simple inheritance (off when
compatibility mode is enabled).
- Restore default arguments in interfaces and handle it correctly.
- Move registration of internal classes later in the startup sequence
in order to have INI options available.
- 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()
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.
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.
zend_call_function() now takes a structure that should contain all of the
necessary information. If further information is necessary in the future,
then we'll be able to add it without having to introduce a new function.
As for caching - the 2nd, optional argument is a struct that can hold all
of the information that's necessary to invoke the function, including its
handler, scope and object it operates on (if any). Note that you may only
use a cache if the arguments you provide to zend_call_function() are
identical to the ones of the last call, except for the argument and return
value information.
The recently introduced fast_call_user_function() was removed
I fixed most of the places that used fast_call_user_function() to use caching
but there are still some that need to be fixed (XML and reflection)
