Description:
------------
There are redundant ZEND_EXT_* oplines remained after optimized, this will make profiler/debugger confused..


Test script:
---------------
<?php
function foo(string $s1, string $s2) {
    $x = ($s1 . $s2);
    $x = 0;
    return $x;
}
?>

runwith  sapi/phpdbg/phpdbg  -e -p*  /tmp/1.php

Expected result:
----------------
function name: foo
L2-6 foo() /tmp/1.php - 0x7f54cbdde2d0 + 5 ops
 L2    #0     EXT_NOP
 L2    #1     RECV                    1                                         $s1
 L2    #2     RECV                    2                                         $s2
 L3    #3     EXT_STMT
 L5    #4     RETURN                  0
[Script ended normally]

Actual result:
--------------
function name: foo
L2-6 foo() /tmp/1.php - 0x7f79e13de2d0 + 7 ops
 L2    #0     EXT_NOP
 L2    #1     RECV                    1                                         $s1
 L2    #2     RECV                    2                                         $s2
 L3    #3     EXT_STMT
 L4    #4     EXT_STMT
 L5    #5     EXT_STMT
 L5    #6     RETURN                  0

I would argue that the expected result should be this instead:

Expected result:
----------------
function name: foo
L2-6 foo() /tmp/1.php - 0x7f54cbdde2d0 + 5 ops
 L2    #0     EXT_NOP
 L2    #1     RECV                    1                                         $s1
 L2    #2     RECV                    2                                         $s2
 L5    #3     EXT_STMT
 L5    #4     RETURN                  0
[Script ended normally]

i.e., the EXT_STMT on line 5 instead of three, so that when the debugger stops the state of variables is correct. If it would stop earlier, only some of the code looks like it has been run, but the state of the variables looks like after more code (on future lines) have been run.

But then again, $x *never* gets set in the first place, so its value doesn't make it into the symbol table that Xdebug can access to show its value.

Is there a way to find out whether $x has been optimised out? gdb does this as well, and I think that would be more useful to have.

but L3-L4 has been optimized out....

I know that, but from a user's point of view, that means that stopping *after* all these lines makes more sense. Otherwise a debugger would stop before it looks to the user that following lines (L3/L4) have been executed.

I would love for this to be resolved. By knowing that an oparray has been optimised (by reading a flag), AND having the EXT_STMTs to end up on the logically right place. Otherwise, debugging usability when opcache is enabled is going to be a very annoying affair, especially when 7.3 comes around.

Ping :-)
