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
Restored double->long conversion behavior to that of PHP 5.2 (on most platforms) and prior:
* Out-of-range numbers overflow/preserve least significant bits (no LONG_MAX/MIN limit)
* See bug #42868 (presumably-rare platform with different results in 5.2)
* On 32-bit platforms with 64-bit long type, a zend_long64 cast has been added,
otherwise it's the same as 5.2
* Use this conversion method everywhere instead of some plain (long) casts
Added 'L' parameter parsing specifier to ensure a LONG_MAX/MIN limit:
* Essentially what 5.3's new conversion was doing in most cases
* Functions with "limit" or "length" type params could be updated to use this,
and prevent confusing overflow behavior with huge numbers (*also* in 5.2)
- See bug #47854, for example; or even #42868 again
# Test updates coming
After the sigsetjmp change, this is patch #2 in an effort to get some
sanity restored to signal handling in PHP.
This patch does two things. First, it makes it possible to reset the
timeout without resetting the signal handlers. This is important for
cases where an extension may have deferred signals in its MINIT in order
to implement critical sections. It also lays the groundwork for cleaning
up our signal handling and perhaps eventually implementing our own
signal deferring mechanism so we can have true critical sections.
The second thing this does is to make it possible to terminate the current
child process (only for Apache1 at the moment) on a timeout. There are
a number of extensions that are unhappy about being longjmp'ed out of
and when this happens on a timeout they are left in an inconsistent state.
By turning on exit_on_timeout you can now force the process to terminate
on a timeout which will clean up any hanging locks and/or memory left
hanging after the longjmp.
The following pseudo-code explains how it should be used in opcode cache.
function cache_compile_file($filename) {
if (!is_cached($filename)) {
...
orig_compiler_options = CG(compiler_optins);
CG(compiler_options) |= ZEND_COMPILE_IGNORE_INTERNAL_CLASSES |
ZEND_COMPILE_DELAYED_BINDING;
$op_array = orig_compile_file($filename);
CG(compiler_options) = orig_copiler_options;
...
} else {
$op_array = restore_from_cache($filename);
}
zend_do_delayed_early_binding($op_array);
}
. Folding tags
. Parameter parsing
. SPL debug info
. array function improvements (not all yet)
. Improvements to function calling with call_user_* functions
. Improvements to debugging info in var_dump/print_r
# I propably forgot already something but this all was pretty close tied
# to each other so it wasn't possible to do it in parts.
