We should remove deprecated API by separate commit: zend_get_parameters(), zend_get_parameters_ex(), zend_copy_parameters_array().

The patch is too big for github. zend_vm_def.h changes don't fit :( |

Arguments now are prepended to the execute_data, inside the (last!) temporaries of the previous stack frame. Every stack frame has place for sent arguments plus five optional args (RECV_INIT...) and the execute_data. This allows EG(vm_stack_top) and EX(call) to be removed and saves us from expensive comparisons to push a call frame completely in some cases (every ICALL). The only downside is that arguments now are in reverse order causing variadics to be in reverse order on the stack; extensions might need some update ... Also, freeing of args and execute_data is now completely handled by liveness. Finally, the patch gives 0.5%-3% improvement on applications. There likely is still some room for optimization (e.g. eliminating ZEND_SEND_VAL with TMPs or speeding up the unpacking, removing INIT_FCALL for UCALLs, ...).

I'm closing this for now, as there don't seem to be plans to land this in the current form. |
