Currently, internal classes are registered with the following code:
INIT_CLASS_ENTRY(ce, "InternalClass", class_InternalClass_methods);
class_entry = zend_register_internal_class_ex(&ce, NULL);
class_entry->ce_flags |= ...;
This has worked well so far, except if InternalClass is readonly. It is because some inheritance checks are run by zend_register_internal_class_ex before ZEND_ACC_READONLY_CLASS is added to ce_flags.
The issue is fixed by adding a zend_register_internal_class_with_flags() zend API function that stubs can use from now on. This function makes sure to add the flags before running any checks. Since the new API is not available in lower PHP versions, gen_stub.php has to keep support for the existing API for PHP 8.3 and below.
The hash is used to check whether the arginfo file needs to be
regenerated. PHP-Parser will only be downloaded if this is actually
necessary.
This ensures that release artifacts will never try to regenerate
stubs and thus fetch PHP-Parser, as long as you do not modify any
files.
Closes GH-5739.
Closes GH-5353. From now on, PHP will have reflection information
about default values of parameters of internal functions.
