We'd like to start using ##mixed## instead of ##var## for attribute types to be consistent with Hack. As a followup to this (once released), we would codemod all ##var## to ##mixed##.
When object support was first added to HHVM, a class named "Instance"
was introduced (deriving from ObjectData) to represent instances of user
defined classes. Since then, things have evolved and HPHPc and HPHPi have
been retired, and now there really is no needed to have ObjectData and
Instance be separate classes anymore.
This diff moves all of the functionality from the Instance class to the
ObjectData and removes the Instance class. In the process, I got rid of
a bunch of dead methods and fixed some indentation and other style issues.
I know this is bad form, but we need this for performance. Right now, o_toBoolean() isn't even being called. When D825610 lands it will be and will be a small perf regression.
If this situation gets bad, then we should revisit it, but since only one class is overriding it for now, this should be ok.
(I don't understand C++, did I do the virtual thing right? I had to declare them to make the linker work)
I noticed that directorty structure of hphp/system was a bit scattered, so
I consolidated things to reduce the total number of folders and to put
related things together with each other.
This diff moves the contents of "hphp/system/classes_hhvm" into
"hphp/system", it moves the contents of "hphp/system/lib" into
"hphp/system", moves "hphp/idl" to "hphp/system/idl", and moves the
contents of "hphp/system/globals" into "hphp/system/idl".
I was learning from @jdelong and he said that you should use
double quotes for local includes and angle brackets for library
includes. I asked why our code was the way it was, and he said he wanted
to clean it up. I beat him to it :)

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.
