We only used it to get the values of certain class constants,
and to define the ObjectStaticCallbacks for every class.
We can put the class constants directly into the class_map
(we should have done that before for perf reasons), and then
the only remaining use of ObjectStaticCallbacks is to proxy
the Class* for each builtin class. So just use the Class*
directly.
Once this is in, Im just a small step away from eliminating
make -C hphp/system - so Im leaving a lot of dead code here.
Its going to be easier to delete it en masse, rather than
try to pick and chose now.
We were calling Exception::__init__() from Instance's constructor.
If an exception is thrown (eg timeout), then we capture a backtrace
including $this pointers, unwind, and then pass the backtrace
to the error handler. But as c++ unwinds through Instance's
constructor, it calls ObjectData's destructor - so we end up
with a lame instance that doesnt work too well.
In addition, we were failing to correctly refCount the object
so we would leak its memory (and properties).
This change is mostly for FB internal organizational reasons.
Building is not effected beyond the fact that the target now
lands in hphp/hhvm/hhvm rather than src/hhvm/hhvm.
