This is disabled by default yet, but may be enabled compiling zend_execute.c with -DHAVE_GCC_GLOBAL_REGS.
Only tested on Linux x86 and x86_64 with GCC 4.9.2.
Generators all have their own vm_stack, but usually don't go really deep.
In most cases even most of the 4 KB will remain unused (in my tests average is rather 1 KB), but this was tested a straightforward implementation without a lot of abstraction layers.
That way I'm using a more conservative 4 KB stack size which really should be enough for, I think, at least 90% of the cases.
This was necessary to not immediately run out of memory with 95%+ usused vm_stack space: If you have a few thousands of Generators active, your application quickly hits memory_limit with a stack page size of 256 KB...
In addition, it's also a bit faster (70% less instructions for zend_vm_stack_new_page) due to emalloc() not having to allocate a whole new segment (segment size 256 KB). Also no mmap()/malloc() necessary.
Now each HashTable is also zend_array, so it's refcounted and may be a subject for Copy on Write
zend_array_dup() was changed to allocate and return HashTable, instead of taking preallocated HashTable as argument.

Change "foreach" statement behavior (this is just a PoC yet)
- "foreach by value" don't relay on internal array/object pointer and doesnt perform array duplication. It just locks it incrementing reference counter. If the original array is modified by some code, the copy on write is performed and "foreach" still work with the old copy.
- it makes no difference if array given to "foreach by value" is reference itself
- "foreach by reference" still use internal array/object pointer and should work similar to PHP-5. (This id not completely implemented)
* 'internal-function-return-types' of github.com:reeze/php-src:
Add load time return type checking to match user land logic
Add test function arguments
Implemented internal function return types
