Stanislav Malyshev b187c35f23 Merge branch 'pull-request/54'
* pull-request/54:
  Allow arbitrary expressions for empty()

    This change is as per RFC https://wiki.php.net/rfc/empty_isset_exprs.

    The change allows passing the result of function calls and other
    expressions to the empty() language construct. This is accomplished by
    simply rewriting empty(expr) to !expr.

    The change does not affect the suppression of errors when using empty()
    on variables. empty($undefinedVar) will continue not to throw errors.
    When an expression is used inside empty() on the other hand, errors will
    not be suppressed. Thus empty($undefinedVar + $somethingElse) *will*
    throw a notice.

    The change also does not make empty() into a real function, so using
    'empty' as a callback is still not possible.

    In addition to the empty() changes the commit adds nicer error messages
    when isset() is used on function call results or other expressions.

PHP X.Y UPGRADE NOTES
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
2. New Features
2. Changes in SAPI modules
3. Deprecated Functionality
4. Changed Functions
5. New Functions
6. New Classes and Interfaces
7. Removed Extensions
8. Other Changes to Extensions
9. New Global Constants
10. Changes to INI File Handling
11. Other Changes
========================================
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================
- Drop Windows XP and 2003 support. (Pierre)
========================================
2. New Features
========================================
- Support constant array/string dereferencing. (Laruence)
(https://wiki.php.net/rfc/constdereference)
- Add support for using empty() on the result of function calls and
other expressions. Thus it is now possible to write empty(getArray()),
for example. (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/empty_isset_exprs)
========================================
2. Changes in SAPI modules
========================================
========================================
3. Deprecated Functionality
========================================
- The preg_replace /e modifier is now deprecated. Use
preg_replace_callback instead.
(https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_preg_replace_eval_modifier)
========================================
4. Changed Functions
========================================
- pack()/unpack() had the following changes, which bring it more in line
with Perl's behavior:
- Implemented format character "Z": NUL-padded string
- "a" now does not remove trailing NUL characters on unpack() anymore
- "A" will now strip all trailing ASCII whitespace on unpack() (it used to
remove only trailing spaces).
- MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now accepted named arguments
and mixed numeric/named arguments in ICU 4.8+.
- MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now don't error out when
an insufficient argument count is provided. Instead, the placeholders will
remain unsubstituted.
- MessageFormatter::parse() and MessageFormat::format() (and their static
equivalents) now don't throw away better than second precision in the
arguments.
