RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/static_return_type
The "static" type is represented as MAY_BE_STATIC, rather than
a class type like "self" and "parent", as it has special
resolution semantics, and cannot be cached in the runtime cache.
Closes GH-5062.
Internal constants can be marked as CONST_DEPRECATED, in which
case accessing them will throw a deprecation warning.
For now this is only supported on global constants, not class
constants. Complain to me if you need to deprecate a class
constant...
Closes GH-5072.
Instead of having a completely independent encoding for type list
entries. This is going to use more memory, but I'm not particularly
concerned about that, as type unions that contain multiple classes
should be uncommon. On the other hand, this allows us to treat
top-level types and types inside lists mostly the same.
A new ZEND_TYPE_FOREACH macros allows to transparently treat list
and non-list types the same way. I'm not using it everywhere it could be
used for now, just the places that seemed most obvious.
Of course, this will make any future type system changes much simpler,
as it will not be necessary to duplicate all logic two times.
Convert the empty string assignment to an Error as per RFC [1]
Add a warning that only the first byte will be assigned to the offset if provided
a needle that is longer than one byte.

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.
We now store the pointer payload and the type mask separately. This
is in preparation for union types, where we will be using both at
the same time.
To avoid increasing the size of arginfo structures, the
pass_by_reference and is_variadic fields are now stored as part of
the type_mask (8-bit are reserved for custom use).
Different types of pointer payloads are distinguished based on bits
in the type_mask.
* Change a number of "resource used as offset" notices to warnings,
which were previously missed.
* Throw the "resource used as offset" warning for isset() as well.
* Make array_key_exists() behavior with regard to different key
types consistent with isset() and normal array accesses. All key
types now use the usual coercions and array/object keys throw
TypeError.
Closes GH-4887.
Noticed while working on union types: We do not load argument and
return types during type checks, but we do load property types.
I'm normalizing the behavior towards the existing status quo (not
loading), though we may consider loading everywhere (all types,
and instanceof) in order to properly support class aliases.
This goes in the reverse direction of 4463acb951.
After looking around a bit, it seems that we already check for
Z_ISERROR_P() on the get_property_ptr_ptr return value in other places.
So do this in zend_fetch_property_address() as well, and also make
sure that EG(error_zval) is indeed returned on exception in
get_property_ptr_ptr.
In particular, this fixes the duplicate exceptions that we used to
get because first get_property_ptr_ptr threw one and then
read_property throws the same exception again.
Relying on setting ERROR if an exception happened during the
property address fetch is both a bit fragile and may pessimize
other codepaths that will check for exceptions in the VM. Adding
an extra exception check instead, which should also allow us to
drop the use of ERROR in this area in master.
Avoid need of insertion NOP opcoes between unrelated SMART BRANCH instruction and following JMPZ/JMPNZ.
Now instead of checking the opcode of following instruction, the same information is encoded into SMART BRANH result_type.
Previously if the "non well formed" notice was converted into an
exception we'd still end up executing the function.
Also drop the now unnecessary EG(exception) checks in the engine.
Additionally remote a bogus exception in zend_is_callable: It
should only be writing to error, but not directly throwing.
