For PhpFiles, there was a mixed management system, where references from
translated code were held until the code was made unreachable, while
references from interpreted code were held for the duration of the
current request. Under the new scheme, PhpFiles are always treadmilled.
They are owned by the FileRepository, and so need to be ref-counted
because the FileRepository can have the same PhpFile under multiple
paths. But we don't ref-count the *uses* of PhpFiles anymore.
Classes still need to be ref-counted, but as soon as their Unit
goes away, most of their internals can be freed. We just need to
hold onto them if derived classes are referencing them. Even in
that case, the next time we try to instantiate the derived class,
we can kill any that reference this Class.
There were also lots of holes where references were not dropped,
or owned data structures were not destroyed. eg a Class's methods
were not destroyed when the Class was destroyed; there were
several paths where an entry was erased from the file map, but the
corresponding PhpFile was not decRef'd - or worse, a null entry
was left in the map (something we had asserts to check for).
This tries to make the handling more consistent.
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.
As a first step towards merging ObjectData and Instance together, this diff
puts their definitions in the same .h file and puts their implementations
in the same .cpp file. A few small changes were necessary to fix issues
with cyclical includes: (1) Repo/emitter related parts of class.cpp and
class.h were moved to class-emit.cpp and class-emit.h; (2) the contents of
"vm/core_types.h" was moved to "base/types.h"; and (3) a few functions that
didn't appear to be hot were moved from .h files and the corresponding .cpp
files.
Empty FixedStringMaps would do a malloc of at least 9 bytes,
and IndexedStringMap would do a 1 byte malloc, and a malloc of at least 9
bytes.
We have a lot of typically empty maps in our data structures.
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:
hphp/runtime/base/server/admin_request_handler.cpp
hphp/runtime/vm/named_entity.h
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.
