Hi!
You are wrong. Internal type hinting is done in the form of argument
information.
You are confusing arginfo's with zend_parse_parameters types. They work
differently (class typehints are strict, because there's no way to
convert classes from one type to another). These aren't even the same
types - all objects have the same internal type, IS_OBJECT, so it works
on entirely different level.
The current patch is missing a ZEND_ARG_STRING_INFO(0, argumentName,
0) which would be the same as
fnuction foo(string $argumentName){}
That doesn't exist and wouldn't exist for currently available functions
since making internal functions do that (strict type matching) would be
a huge code breakage.
zend_parse_parameters(... abcdefg)
is the same as
function($a, $b, $c..) { $a = (int) $a; $b = (string) $b; $c = (array) $c...}
Now it is, but that's not the way typehints work in the proposed patch.
