Work on reflection API

Hello, I went ahead and spent some time on the new reflection API. A patch (778 lines:)) and a demo script are attached. What has changed: --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Added documentation for each and every function (using the style used in ext/*/*.c), e.g.: /* {{{ proto Reflection_Class[] Reflection_Class::getInterfaces() Returns an array of interfaces this class implements */ - Replaced duplicated code with macros or functions - Added protection against static calls to the Reflection_* classes' functions (resulting in fatal errors if you try to do so). - Made Reflection_Class::getInterfaces return an empty array instead of FALSE in case the class does not implement any interfaces - Made Reflection_Function::getStaticVariables return an empty array instead of FALSE in case the function does not have any static variables. - Made use of the ZEND_DO_THROW macro in the constructors (see previous mail to engine2@ including a patch to zend_API.h) - Added Reflection_Class::isFinal - Added Reflection_Class::isAbstract - Added Reflection_Class::newInstance. This method takes a variable amount of arguments and passes them to the object's constructor if there is one. - Added Reflection_Class::isInstance --------------------------------------------------------------------- I couldn't figure out how to remove the following memleaks which occur when the reflection_class_factory is called: /usr/home/thekid/devel/php/php/Zend/zend_reflection_api.c(296) : Freeing 0x08371D24 (7 bytes), script=reflection.php Last leak repeated 1 time /usr/home/thekid/devel/php/php/Zend/zend_reflection_api.c(295) : Freeing 0x08371CE4 (16 bytes), script=reflection.php Last leak repeated 1 time -- Timm
