This is the first part of the work to expose type constraint and generic all the way to reflection. This first DIFF exposes the return type with generic types coming next.
Alias manager does not know whether generator parameters are passed by
reference. This didn't matter, because every generator had at least one
function call (hphp_continuation_done()) that pretty much disabled unused
variable elimination.
This diff fixes that, lets us get rid of artificial function calls in
generators and will allow later improvements in alias manager.
Alias manager does not know that generator parameters are populated and
assumes they are uninit. The current code works because control flow
algorithm gives up while trying to deal with the continuation switch
statement full of gotos.
This diff fixes it by setting isGeneratorParameter flag in symbols
representing parameters of enclosing generator wrapper and use variables
of enclosing closure.
This basically targetted symbols.php, and Globals, but ended up
killing a lot more. I could keep adding more and more, but
this seems like a good point to stop and continue with
another diff.
Instead of having the body of the closure be in the ##__invoke()## on the ##Closure## class, instead we make an anonymous function on the real class and put the body there. The signature for this function is:
function methodForClosure$1234($arg1, $arg2, ..., $use1, $use2, ...)
and then ##__invoke## now just takes all the params that were passed to it, puts them as the first args to the anonymous function, then takes all the use variables it had saved up and passed them in as the next params.
I tried to not have an ##__invoke## at all, but I ended up basically doing the same parameter and use var repacking in iopFCall (and would have had to do it in x86 code too). I opted for doing the rejiggering in bytecode. If I did it in raw PHP I think it would have been much slower with many ##func_get_args()## and array operations.
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.
