Could someone please spare a moment to give me karma so I can open an RFC?
I greatly appreciate your time. My username is: wookieetyler
Derick Rethans commit inspired me to start looking at the source code in more depth.
I got started on this branch <https://github.com/php/php-src/compare/master...RichardTMiles:php-src:arrayTypes>
last night, I focused on the zend_language_parser.y. I think I got that figured out, and not I need
to adjust the functions it touches (zend_ast_create_decl and zend_ast_create).
I might call myself a very seasoned n00b here, so my main goal is to get it working.
interface_declaration_statement:
T_INTERFACE { $<num>$ = CG(zend_lineno); }
T_STRING interface_extends_list backup_doc_comment '{' class_statement_list
'}'
{ $$ = zend_ast_create_decl(ZEND_AST_CLASS, ZEND_ACC_INTERFACE, $<num>2,
$5, zend_ast_get_str($3), NULL, $4, $7, NULL, NULL); }
| T_INTERFACE { $<num>$ = CG(zend_lineno); }
T_STRING interface_extends_list backup_doc_comment '[' array_statement_list
']'
{ $$ = zend_ast_create_decl(ZEND_AST_CLASS, ZEND_ACC_INTERFACE, $<num>2,
$4, zend_ast_get_str($2), NULL, $3, $6, NULL, NULL); }
;
Then for casting:
expr:
...
| type_without_static expr
{ $$ = zend_ast_create(ZEND_AST_CAST, $2, $4); }
| '(' type_expr_without_static_or_nullable ')' expr
{ $$ = zend_ast_create(ZEND_AST_CAST, $2, $4); }
| '(' expr ')' {
$$ = $2;
if ($$->kind == ZEND_AST_CONDITIONAL) $$->attr =
ZEND_PARENTHESIZED_CONDITIONAL;
}
| new_expr { $$ = $1; }
...
I should also point out that the syntax I posed yesterday was a bit incorrect as I extended an
interface using the implements keyword.
>> interface iArrayA ['a' => string ]
>> interface iArrayB implements iArrayA ['b' => string, 'c' =>
>> ?string ]
It should actually read:
interface iArrayA [ ‘a’ => string ]
interface iArrayB extends iArrayA [ ‘b’ => string, ‘c’ => ?string]
P.s. I also started a draft for the addition of the apache_connection_stream function
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/14047
and would like to create an RFC for that as well.
Best,
Richard Miles
