Description:
------------
If you don't "next" on the generator, the typehint of the function is not checked.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

function hello(closure $closure)
{
    $closure('hello');
    yield 10;
}

hello();


Expected result:
----------------
Argument 1 passed to hello must be an instance of Closure, none given

This is because the call to the generator does not call the function actually, thus this latter can't check its arguments.

However, triggering a method on the generator returns actually triggers the function call.

I attached a patch that fixes the issue by checking args in case of generator creation, however, this will only work if you make use of the return value (which is not the case in your script)

Patch is at https://github.com/jpauli/php-src/tree/fix-69909

Fixed in 7.1 The argument binding code is now executed before the generator is suspended.
