Avoid initializing the same string content multiple times and make use of the
fact that the strings created to initialize attribute values are not freed by
simply making use of an existing zend_string with the same content if one is
available.
Instead of
* adding a zval on the stack
* initializing it
* copying the value to the attribute
Just initialize the value directly in the zend_attribute_arg
Have each of the specialized methods for registering a constant return a
pointer to the registered constant the same way that the generic
`zend_register_constant()` function does, and use those in the generated
arginfo files to avoid needing to search for a constant that was just
registered in order to add attributes to it.
Only covers constants declared via stub files, others will be handled
separately in a later commit.
Does not include the intl extension, since that had some errors relating to the
cpp code; that extension will be updated separately.
To match other capitalized strings like `ZEND_STR_UNKNOWN_CAPITALIZED` and
`ZEND_STR_ARRAY_CAPITALIZED`. Since this known string was only added in PHP
8.4, no backwards compatibility alias is needed.
When a class (or enum) has no methods, rather than using an array that only
contains `ZEND_FE_END`, use `NULL` for the functions. The implementation of
class registration for internal classes, `do_register_internal_class()` in
zend_API.c, already skips classes where the functions are `NULL`. By removing
these unneeded arrays, we can reduce the size of the header files, while also
removing an unneeded call to zend_register_functions() for each internal class
with no extra methods.
Currently, internal classes are registered with the following code:
INIT_CLASS_ENTRY(ce, "InternalClass", class_InternalClass_methods);
class_entry = zend_register_internal_class_ex(&ce, NULL);
class_entry->ce_flags |= ...;
This has worked well so far, except if InternalClass is readonly. It is because some inheritance checks are run by zend_register_internal_class_ex before ZEND_ACC_READONLY_CLASS is added to ce_flags.
The issue is fixed by adding a zend_register_internal_class_with_flags() zend API function that stubs can use from now on. This function makes sure to add the flags before running any checks. Since the new API is not available in lower PHP versions, gen_stub.php has to keep support for the existing API for PHP 8.3 and below.
@cname currently refers to the constant name in C. However, it is not always a (constant) name, but sometimes a function invocation, so naming it as @cvalue would be more appropriate.
Ideally, these methods should have been declared with a static return type, so let's add a PHPDoc type hint + a TODO for fixing the issue in the future.
These are deprecated in favor of date()/DateTime::format() (for
locale-indendent formatting) and IntlDateFormatter::format()
(for locale-dependent formatting).
