Hi all,
I had been meaning to update this patch for a while (after conflicting
updates to some files), and finally did. :-) See original message for
more
details...
There's been one change for strings -- before, I was moving the first
ADD_*
op into INIT_STRING, but wasn't too satisfied with that. So I eliminated
the INIT_STRING opcode after realizing that simply setting the string to
NULL makes it create a new string in add_string_to_string (the first ADD_*
has op1 set to IS_UNUSED; otherwise it's still IS_TMP_VAR, though it's not
"used" after my changes). Is this OK?
The other prior changes seem fine to me: syntax highlighting consistency,
combining the duplicate heredoc/nowdoc stuff and removing the NOWDOC
tokens,
allowing static heredocs to be used in static contexts, etc.?

Remember to regenerate the scanner/parser with re2c/bison and run
zend_vm_gen.php! I also included possible NEWS updates in the 5.3 patch
this time. :-P
Thanks for any feedback,
Matt

Hi all,
This patch... Saves one opcode per interpolated string [snip, old info]
Next, after nowdoc support was added, I noticed it was mostly duplicate
heredoc code in the scanner, so I combined them for the most part,
removing
the NOWDOC tokens, etc. Is that OK? It seems like they may have just
been
there for the parser... but I updated the parser so that static heredocs
also work like nowdocs. Also removed the ST_START_[HEREDOC|NOWDOC]
states
in the scanner, by doing their work (to catch immediate ending label) in
the
initial heredoc rule.
While removing the NOWDOC references from zend_highlight.c, I made a
little
change that I think improves (err... adds) highlighting of variables in
double-quoted strings, and makes literal text in heredocs/backticks the
correct "highlight_string" color. This makes coloring consistent across
all
strings. :-) Before/after example:
http://realplain.com/php/highlight.html
Speaking of backticks, while updating their parser grammar, they now
behave
more precisely like shell_exec(), in that `cmd` (constant string) or
`$cmd`
(one variable) won't use INIT_STRING and create a temporary variable...
Oh, almost forgot a couple things -- for HEAD: [snip] moved
HANDLE_NEWLINES() so nowdoc text is copied first, otherwise the line
number
would be off if there's an error in zend_copy_scanner_string. [snip]

Thanks,

P.S. (for Marcus?), the ({LABEL}|([']{LABEL}['])|(["]{LABEL}["])) part of
the heredoc rule crashed re2c (Windows) until I added the extra ( ),
which
shouldn't be needed AFAIK and was fine with just 2 alternate matches...
