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.
Closes GH-5062.
According to RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/union_types_v2
The type representation now makes use of both the pointer payload
and the type mask at the same time. Additionall, zend_type_list is
introduced as a new kind of pointer payload, which is used to store
multiple class types. Each of the class types is a tagged pointer,
which may be either a class name or class entry. The latter is only
used for typed properties, while arguments/returns will instead use
cache slots. A type list can contain a mix of both names and CEs at
the same time, as not all classes may be resolvable.
One thing this is missing is support for union types in arginfo
and stubs, which I want to handle separately.
I've also dropped the special object code from the JIT implementation
for now -- I plan to add this back in a different form at a later time.
For now I did not want to include non-trivial JIT changes together
with large functional changes.
Another possible piece of follow-up work is to implement "iterable"
as an internal alias for "array|Traversable". I believe this will
eliminate quite a few special-cases that had to be implemented.
Closes GH-4838.
We now store the pointer payload and the type mask separately. This
is in preparation for union types, where we will be using both at
the same time.
To avoid increasing the size of arginfo structures, the
pass_by_reference and is_variadic fields are now stored as part of
the type_mask (8-bit are reserved for custom use).
Different types of pointer payloads are distinguished based on bits
in the type_mask.
instanceof_function() requires linked classes. I'm not reusing
unlinked_instanceof() here, because it performs class loading,
which wouldn't be right here, I think.
Avoid need of insertion NOP opcoes between unrelated SMART BRANCH instruction and following JMPZ/JMPNZ.
Now instead of checking the opcode of following instruction, the same information is encoded into SMART BRANH result_type.
This switches zend_type from storing a single IS_* type code to
storing a MAY_BE_* type mask. Right now most code still assumes
that there is only a single type in the mask (or two together
with MAY_BE_NULL). But this will make it a lot simpler to introduce
union types.
An additional advantage (and why I'm doing this separately), is
that a number of special cases no longer need to be handled
separately: We can do a single mask & (1 << type) check to handle
all simple types, booleans (true|false) and null.
The smart branch logic assumed b->start refers to the old offsets,
while b->start was already adjusted to the new offsets at this
point. Delay the change until later.
When cleaning nops in the dfa pass, we were always keeping the
smart branch inhibiting nop that occurs directly before the jump
instruction. However, as we skip unreachable blocks entirely, it
may happen that we need to keep a nop that occurs further back,
prior to the unreachable blocks. Account for that case now.
We should really do something about the smart branch situation,
this is very fragile...
This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.
A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.
This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.
With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.
Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.
Instead of interleaving creation of live-ranges with the main
compiler code, compute them in a separate pass over the opcodes
as part of pass_two. Additionally, do not keep live ranges
synchronized during optimization in opcache and instead use the
same mechanism to recompute them after optimization.
Correctly handle the case of duplicate predecessors, by removing the
duplicate predecessor and corresponding phi node operands.
For the future, it would be better to instead allow duplicate
predecessors and avoid this kind of fragile code...
