Adds support for checking ?Foo type hints in VerifyParamType.
The parameter must have type Foo or null. Failing to pass the hint is
reported as a warning instead of a recoverable error for now for
migration reasons---we'll want to convert it to be the same as normal
type hints later.
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 is intended so reflection can be used (via getTypehintText and getReturnTypehintText) to regenerate code the user annotated with types. Essentially using reflection to intrispect code in order to generate type safe
(hack safe) code. That is particularly important for the tools that do dependency injection. The runtime should be oblivious to the change as the rich type annotation is currently only stored for the sake of reflection. For
functions the values are in the shared portion which is cold and should also take care of traits.
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.
