including:
- Whether or not to pass by ref (replaces the old arg_types, with arg_info)
- Argument name (for future use, maybe introspection)
- Class/Interface name (for type hints)
- If a class/interface name is available, whether to allow a null instance
Both user and builtin functions share the same data structures.
To declare a builtin function that expects its first arg to be an instance
of class 'Person', its second argument as a regular arg, and its third by
reference, use:
ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO(my_func_arg_info, 0)
ZEND_ARG_OBJ_INFO(0, someone, Person, 1)
ZEND_ARG_PASS_INFO(0)
ZEND_ARG_PASS_INFO(1)
ZEND_END_ARG_INFO();
and use my_func_arg_info as the arg_info parameter to the ZEND_FE() family
of macros.
The first arg to each ZEND_ARG_*() macro is whether or not to pass by ref.
The boolean arg to ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO() tells the engine whether to treat
the arguments for which there's no explicit information as pass by reference
or not.
The boolean argument to ZEND_ARG_OBJ_INFO() (4th arg) is whether or not to allownull values.
- to retreive the zval **, thus allowing it to use the convert_to_*_ex()

classes.
*HEADS UP*: get_class_name() handler interface is changed, now it should
allocate the space it returns with emalloc, and the users free it. If
anyone has problems with it or has suggestions how to do it without this -
please tell.
Also: make function_exists() understand namespaces.
