According to RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/union_types_v2
The type representation now makes use of both the pointer payload
and the type mask at the same time. Additionall, zend_type_list is
introduced as a new kind of pointer payload, which is used to store
multiple class types. Each of the class types is a tagged pointer,
which may be either a class name or class entry. The latter is only
used for typed properties, while arguments/returns will instead use
cache slots. A type list can contain a mix of both names and CEs at
the same time, as not all classes may be resolvable.
One thing this is missing is support for union types in arginfo
and stubs, which I want to handle separately.
I've also dropped the special object code from the JIT implementation
for now -- I plan to add this back in a different form at a later time.
For now I did not want to include non-trivial JIT changes together
with large functional changes.
Another possible piece of follow-up work is to implement "iterable"
as an internal alias for "array|Traversable". I believe this will
eliminate quite a few special-cases that had to be implemented.
Closes GH-4838.
This reverts commit e528762c1c.
Dmitry reports that this has a non-trivial impact on parsing
overhead, especially on 32-bit systems. As we don't have a strong
need for this change right now, I'm reverting it.

e528762c1c.
Locations for AST nodes are now tracked with the help of bison
location tracking. This is more accurate than what we currently do
and easier to extend with more information.
A zend_ast_loc structure is introduced, which is used for the location
stack. Currently it only holds the start lineno, but can be extended
to also hold end lineno and offset/column information in the future.
All AST constructors now accept a zend_ast_loc* as first argument, and
will use it to determine their lineno. Previously this used either the
CG(zend_lineno), or the smallest AST lineno of child nodes.
On the parser side, the location structure for a whole rule can be
obtained using the &@$ character salad.
Some of these are entirely unnecessary. Some specify an associativity
for operators where the concept doesn't make sense and has no effect:
Explicit associativity is only meaningful for binary operators. For
unary operators and constrained operations like instanceof or assignment
the associativity specification has no effect and only serves to confuse.
For example assignments were specified as %left, even though they will
actually behave as right-associative due to the variable requirement on
the LHS. Similarly instanceof was specified as %nonassoc, but it will
behave as left-associative, due to the restrictions places on the RHS.
This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.
A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.
This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.
With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.
Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/null_coalesce_equal_operator
$a ??= $b is $a ?? ($a = $b), with the difference that $a is only
evaluated once, to the degree that this is possible. In particular
in $a[foo()] ?? $b function foo() is only ever called once.
However, the variable access themselves will be reevaluated.

Instead of representing this as a ZEND_AST_CLASS_CONST with a
"class" constant name.
Class constants and ::class are unrelated features that happen to
share syntax, so represent and handle them separately.
The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.
This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.
I've introduced a new CompileError type, from which ParseError
inherits. These errors are not parse errors in the narrow sense
of the term, even though they happen to be generated during
parsing in our implementation. Additionally reusing the ParseError
class for this purpose would change existing error messages (if
the exception is not caught) from a "Fatal error:" to a "Parse
error:" prefix, and also the error kind from E_COMPILE_ERROR to
E_PARSE.
Hereby, interned strings are supported in thread safe PHP. The patch
implements two types of interned strings
- interning per process, strings are not freed till process end
- interning per request, strings are freed at request end
There is no runtime interning.
With Opcache, all the permanent iterned strings are copied into SHM on
startup, additional copying into SHM might happen on demand.
