PHP added this in 5.4 so that you can say your closure shouldn't capture ##$this##. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures
Should we add it? Many of their unit tests use it.
Instead of putting a boolean somewhere I used the same attr framework and set the static bit there. Thoughts? It only needs one change in the ##FPushFunc##.
In Zend 5.3 they decided that closures should inherit the ##$this## from the containing scope. This brings us close to paraity with them. The remaining thing is to make
function() use ($this) {}
fatal after we purge it from WWW.
In HPHPc it didn't allow closures to be cloned but in HHVM it did. When I migrated to a C++ closure then i left the HPHPc code. Zend 5.4 allows them to be cloned so lets go with this.
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.
This is in preparation for saving a Func* on the class to fix the perf.
It turns out Properties were never used on a single class in the IDL so HHVM never implemented them. Now it does.
This diff was a perfect exercise in "change very few lines but finding which lines to change takes hours".
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.
