Hi Levi,
I made just few tests, to understand that the implementation is at least
incomplete.
The warning message depends on class declaration order and may be emitted or
not.
1. This test produces a warning (as RFC proposes)
<?php
class C {}
class D {}
class A {
function bar(C $c) {}
}
class B extends A {
function bar(D $D) {
echo "ok\n";
}
}
?>
2. But this test misses warning
<?php
$q = 1;
if ($q) {
class C {}
class D {}
}
class A {
function bar(C $c) {}
}
class B extends A {
function bar(D $D) {
echo "ok\n";
}
}
?>
- The patch is incompatible with opcache (crashes on Wordpress, Drupal, and
probably any real-life app).
- the incompatibility with opcache, doesn't allow to check the performance
implication of the patch
- the patch has merge conflicts and travis tests doesn't run.
Personally, I'm not against the proposal, but I'm definitely against this
implementation.
Probably, it's better to cancel the voting and restart when the implementation
is ready.
It's pity to see, that nobody tries the implementation but blindly vote...
Thanks. Dmitry.

You should enable opcache in your php.ini
zend_extension=opcache.so
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=1
opcache.optimization_level=-1
opcache.protect_memory=1 ; this is for testing only
Memory corruption bugs may lead to crash or not because of "luck", but
it's possible to see them using valgrind.
$ make test TESTS="-m tests/classes/array_access_011.phpt"
$ cat tests/classes/array_access_011.mem
This shows almost the same backtrace, as I already published.
Looks like an incorrect reference-counting on some string.

That PR looks fine.
There is also a problem that this PR has merge conflict with master and
travis doesn't run tests.
Thanks. Dmitry.
