After thinking about this a bit more, the code here was too
conservative. We know that everything but an object is going to
throw, so it's sufficient to restrict the type to MAY_BE_OBJECT.
The change in the test is weird but not incorrect, because it
operates on empty inferred types, in which case the code must be
dead (which it is). We should probably add a more explicit removal
of code working on empty types.
Place a pi node on the non-null edge to remove a spurious
undef/null type.
Additionally, adjust the profitability heuristic to be more
accurate if the "other predecessor" writes to the variable.
Ideally this should not just consider the direct predecessors,
but it's sufficient for this case.
This partially addresses bug #79353 by removing the discrepancy
between ?? and ??=.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/static_return_type
The "static" type is represented as MAY_BE_STATIC, rather than
a class type like "self" and "parent", as it has special
resolution semantics, and cannot be cached in the runtime cache.

This helps to avoid unnecessary IS_REFERENCE checks.
This changes some notices "Only variables should be passed by reference" to exception "Cannot pass parameter %d by reference".
Also, for consistency, compile-time fatal error "Only variables can be passed by reference" was converted to exception "Cannot pass parameter %d by reference"

Attempting to require a file with (unset) casts results in an E_COMPILE_ERROR
that can't be caught or handled by set_exception_handler/set_error_handler.
Also remove the (bool) cast, because the ZEND_BOOL opcode handles that.
Remove inference that array -> object cast can throw.
It was added in 2a286ad599 - I don't know how creating an stdClass would throw.
(numeric keys, references, etc. don't cause it to throw)
Closes GH-5042
Internal constants can be marked as CONST_DEPRECATED, in which
case accessing them will throw a deprecation warning.
For now this is only supported on global constants, not class
constants. Complain to me if you need to deprecate a class
constant...
Closes GH-5072.
The op2 of FE_FETCH is only written if the loop edge is taken.
Fix up the SSA form to use the pre-assignment value if the exit
edge is taken.
This allows us to properly infer the type of the loop variable,
without letting the pre-loop type leak in.
Closes GH-5040.
