c. Function/property/class flags
d. Removed zend_check_private()
e. php_win32_error_to_msg() memory management
f. get_properties_for() handler / Z_OBJDEBUG_P
2. Build system changes
a. Abstract
b. Unix build system changes
c. Windows build system changes
3. Module changes
a. ext/xml
b. ext/hash
========================
1. Internal API changes
========================
a. php_sys_symlink() and php_sys_link() portability macros have been
added, which behave like POSIX's symlink() and link(), respectively, on
POSIX compliant systems and on Windows.
b. zend_lookup_class_ex() and zend_fetch_class_by_name() prototypes were
changed to accept optional lower-case class name as zend_string*,
instead of zval*.
c. Function/property/class flags changes
- ZEND_ACC_CTOR and ZEND_ACC_DTOR are removed. It's possible to check if
method is a constructor/destructor using the following condition
(func->commpon.scope->constructor == func).
- ZEND_ACC_IMPLEMENTED_ABSTRACT is removed (it was used only internally
during inheritance).
- ZEND_ACC_IMPLICIT_PUBLIC is removed (it was used only for reflection)
- ZEND_ACC_SHADOW property flag is removed. Instead of creating shadow
clone, now we use the same private property_info, and should also
check property_info->ce (in the same way as with methods).
- ZEND_ACC_ANON_BOUND is replaced with ZEND_ACC_LINKED. This flag is set
not only during anonymous classes declaration, but also during any
run-time or compile-time class declaration.
- ZEND_ACC_NO_RT_ARENA renamed into ZEND_ACC_HEAP_RT_CACHE. Now it's used
not only for closures, but also for pseudo-main op_arrays.
- ZEND_ACC_... flags are re-numbered.
d. zend_check_private() is removed. Use (func->common.scope == scope) instead.
e. Pointers returned by php_win32_error_to_msg() have to be freed using
php_win32_error_msg_free(). Same regarding php_win_err() vs.
php_win_err_free().
f. A new, optional object handler with the signature
HashTable *get_properties_for(zval *obj, zend_prop_purpose purpose)
has been introduced, where zend_prop_purpose (currently) takes one of:
ZEND_PROP_PURPOSE_DEBUG // var_dump etc.
ZEND_PROP_PURPOSE_ARRAY_CAST // (array) $obj
ZEND_PROP_PURPOSE_SERIALIZE // "O"-format serialization (__wakeup)
ZEND_PROP_PURPOSE_VAR_EXPORT // var_export (__set_state)
ZEND_PROP_PURPOSE_JSON // json_encode
The handler returns a non-null HashTable with increased refcounted, and
the return value must be released using zend_release_properties().
This handler serves the same general function as get_properties(), but
provides more control over different property uses, while also making
it possible to return a temporary property table.
get_properties() is still used in cases where none of the above purposes
apply, but overloading get_properties() is generally discouraged. If you
want to provide purposes for general usage rather than just debugging or
serialization, please prefer using properly declared properties.
get_debug_info() is superseded by get_properties_for() with the
ZEND_PROP_PURPOSE_DEBUG purpose, but remains available for backwards-
compatibility reasons. However, while it is fine to define this handler,
it should never be directly called by consuming code.
The Z_OBJDEBUG_P macro has been removed. It should be replaced by calls to
zend_get_properties_for() with the ZEND_PROP_PURPOSE_DEBUG purpose:
// OLD
int is_temp;
HashTable *ht = Z_OBJDEBUG_P(obj, is_temp);
// ...
if (is_temp) {
zend_hash_destroy(ht);
FREE_HASHTABLE(ht);
}
// NEW
HashTable *ht = zend_get_properties_for(obj, ZEND_PROP_PURPOSE_DEBUG);
// ...
zend_release_properties(ht);
========================
2. Build system changes
========================
a. Abstract
- The hash extension is now always available, meaning the --enable-hash
configure argument has been removed.
b. Unix build system changes
- configure --help now also outputs --program-suffix and --program-prefix
information by using the Autoconf AC_ARG_PROGRAM macro.
- Obsolescent macros AC_FUNC_VPRINTF and AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL have been
removed. Symbols HAVE_VPRINTF and HAVE_UTIME_NULL are no longer defined
since they are not needed on the current systems.
c. Windows build system changes
========================
3. Module changes
========================
a. ext/xml
- The public (internal) API of the ext/xml extension has been removed. All
functions and structures are private to the extension now.
b. ext/hash
- The hash extension is now always available, allowing extensions to rely
on its functionality to be available without compile time checks.
