Replace EG(autoload_func) with a C level zend_autoload hook.
This avoids having to do one indirection through PHP function
calls. The need for EG(autoload_func) was a leftover from the
__autoload() implementation.
Additionally, drop special-casing of spl_autoload(), and instead
register it just like any other autoloading function. This fixes
bug #71236 as a side-effect.
Finally, change spl_autoload_functions() to always return an array.
The distinction between false and an empty array no longer makes
sense here.
Closes GH-5696.
This is a fix for symfony/symfony#32995.
The behavior is:
* Throwing exception when loading parent/interface is allowed
(and we will also throw one if the class is simply not found).
* If this happens, the bucket key for the class is reset, so
it's possibly to try registering the same class again.
* However, if the class has already been used due to a variance
obligation, the exception is upgraded to a fatal error, as we
cannot safely unregister the class stub anymore.
If we perform a class fetch that is not marked as exception safe,
convert exceptions thrown by autoloaders into a fatal error.
Ideally fetching the interfaces would be exception safe, but as it
isn't right now, we must abort at this point.
There are probably some improvements we can do to the SPL
implementation now that __autoload() is gone. In particular having
EG(autoload_func) as a property zend function, rather than a simple
callback probably doesn't make sense.
This implements a reduced variant of #1226 with just the following
change:
-Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'EngineException' with message 'Call to private method foo::bar() from context ''' in %s:%d
+Fatal error: Uncaught EngineException: Call to private method foo::bar() from context '' in %s:%d
The '' wrapper around messages is very weird if the exception
message itself contains ''. Futhermore having the message wrapped
in '' doesn't work for the "and defined" suffix of
TypeExceptions.
