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).
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 :)
Conflicts:

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.
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 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.
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.
