In HHVM (and HPHPc before it) we've been piggybacking resources on the
KindOfObject machinery. At the language level, resource is considered to
be a different type than object, and there are a number of differences
in behavior between objects and resources (ex. resources don't allow for
dynamic properties, resources don't work with the clone operator, the
"(object)" cast behaves differently for resources vs. objects, etc).
Piggybacking resources on the KindOfObject machinery has some downsides.
Code that deals with KindOfObject values often needs to check if the value
is a resource and go down a different code path. This makes things harder
to maintain and harder to keep parity with Zend. Also, these extra branches
hurt performance a little, and they make it harder for the JIT to do a good
job in some cases when its generating machine code that operates on objects.
This diff prepares the code base for a new KindOfResource type by adding a
new "Resource" smart pointer type (currently a typedef for the Object smart
pointer type) and it updates the C++ code and the idl files appropriately.
This diff is essentially a cosmetic change and should not impact run time
behavior. In the next diff (part 2) we'll actually add a new KindOfResource
type, detach ResourceData from the ObjectData inheritence hierarchy, and
provide a real implementation for the Resource smart pointer type (instead
of just aliasing the Object smart pointer type).
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 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".
Doesn't eliminate the Variant(litstr) constructor, or the
same/equals/more/less/etc helpers called from comparisons.h;
those will come in a followon diff.
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 :)

For cppext static methods we have a "ti_" method that takes an extra unused
parameter "const char* cls" and then a "t_" wrapper method that calls the
"ti_" method.
This makes things unnecessarily complicated when writing HipHop extensions.
Let's get rid of the extra unused parameter "cls" and the unnecessary "t_"
wrapper method.
Removed the litstr overloads of Array::rvalAt, rvalAtRef, lval,
lvalPtr, lvalAt, and set. The main one left to do is operator[].
Fixed a bug in f_get_html_translation_table() where we were copying
the null terminator of what should be a one-character string, thus
creating a two-character string with s[1] == 0. (cc @jdelong)
In class Extension, store a String for the name instead of
const char*. cc @sgolemon
This gets rid of the (litstr) StringData and StackStringData
constructors, but keeps String(litstr). Also rename all
the instances of AttachLiteral to CopyString, since they now
mean the same thing.
Make the targetcache the one true home for constants,
so we dont need to (also) insert them all into
VMExecutionContext::m_constants (which is now gone).
By also making "non-volatile" constants persistent, we save
initializing most of them at all in RepoAuthoritative mode.
unserialize() and call_user_func_array() were straightforward. They were
called from all over the runtime, but I renamed those implementations
and codemodded the runtime.
The is_* functions were only ever being called by the CVarRef signature,
so I deleted all the other ones (same for f_gettype). Only some of the
is_* functions were being called from the runtime, so I made inline
versions of those without the f_ prefix.
This diff eliminates setOpEqual() and appendOpEqual() from Variant, and
it also removes several methods from ObjectData: o_assign_op(), o_argval(),
setDummy(), init(), cloneDynamic(), o_setPublicWithRef(), o_i_set(),
getRedeclaredParent(), and o_propForIteration().
This diff also makes several methods in ObjectData non-virtual: destruct(),
o_toIterArray(), and o_getDynamicProperties(). To achieve this, some of the
logic from Instance was moved to ObjectData.
Finally, this diff gets rid of "hhvm/externals_stubs.cpp" and
"runtime/eval/eval.cpp".
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.
On the back burner I've been working on a diff to pull out of some of
the old VM-incompatible machinery for invoking functions/methods and for
creating object. Along the way I noticed some bugs, so I figured I'd fix
them first in a separate diff to make review easier.
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.
