zend_get_parameters_ex() has been marked as deprecated for a long
time already. What zend_get_paramers() does is even more
questionable under PHP7. Both functions are obsoleted by the ZPP
mechanism, so I'm dropping them.
* master:
Use per-request heap instead of system one
Extend zend_register_class_alias_ex() with additional argument to allow creating persistent or per-request aliases
Makrk persistent resources and references with GC_PERSISTENT flag
Prohibit direct update of GC_REFCOUNT(), GC_SET_REFCOUNT(), GC_ADDREF() and GC_DELREF() shoukf be instead.
Added mactros to validate reference-counting (disabled for now).
These macros are going to be used to eliminate race-condintions during reference-counting on data shared between threads.
Instead of interleaving this inside zend_is_callable(), implement
this in a separate function instead.
Also add _deref() hash APIs. I've wanted these for a while, and
this is another place where they're useful, so finally do it...
This derefernce made sense only for explicit paramter passing by reference, but this feature was removed in PHP-7.
The improvement is 100% backward compatible, only few "tricky" functions may be affected (e.g. extract and usort).
"called_scope" made sense only for static method calls, for dynamic calls it was always equal to the class of $this.
Now EG(This) may store IS_OBJECT + $this or IS_UNUSED + "called_scope" (of course, "called_scope" may be NULL).
Some code might need to be adopted to support this change.
Checks (Z_OBJ(EX(This))) might need to be converted into (Z_TYPE(EX(This)) == IS_OBJECT).
