Introduction

Generators provide an easy, boilerplate-free way of implementing iterators.

As an example, consider how you would implement the file() function in userland code:

<span class="kw2">function</span> getLinesFromFile<span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileName</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="kw1">if</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="sy0">!</span><span class="re0">$fileHandle</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="kw3">fopen</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileName</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="st_h">'r'</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
        <span class="kw1">return</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    <span class="br0">}</span>
 
    <span class="re0">$lines</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="br0">[</span><span class="br0">]</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    <span class="kw1">while</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="kw4">false</span> <span class="sy0">!==</span> <span class="re0">$line</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="kw3">fgets</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileHandle</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
        <span class="re0">$lines</span><span class="br0">[</span><span class="br0">]</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="re0">$line</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    <span class="br0">}</span>
 
    <span class="kw3">fclose</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileHandle</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
 
    <span class="kw1">return</span> <span class="re0">$lines</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="br0">}</span>
 
<span class="re0">$lines</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> getLinesFromFile<span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileName</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="kw1">foreach</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$lines</span> <span class="kw1">as</span> <span class="re0">$line</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="co1">// do something with $line</span>
<span class="br0">}</span>

The main disadvantage of this kind of code is evident: It will read the whole file into a large array. Depending on how big the file is, this can easily hit the memory limit. This is not what you usually want. Instead you want to get the lines one by one. This is what iterators are perfect for.

Sadly implementing iterators requires an insane amount of boilerplate code. E.g. consider this iterator variant of the above function:

<span class="kw2">class</span> LineIterator implements Iterator <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="kw2">protected</span> <span class="re0">$fileHandle</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
 
    <span class="kw2">protected</span> <span class="re0">$line</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

As you can see a very simple piece of code can easily become very complicated when turned into an iterator. Generators solve this problem and allow you to implement iterators in a very straightforward manner:

<span class="kw2">function</span> getLinesFromFile<span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileName</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="kw1">if</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="sy0">!</span><span class="re0">$fileHandle</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="kw3">fopen</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileName</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="st_h">'r'</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
        <span class="kw1">return</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    <span class="br0">}</span>
 
    <span class="kw1">while</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="kw4">false</span> <span class="sy0">!==</span> <span class="re0">$line</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="kw3">fgets</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileHandle</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
        yield <span class="re0">$line</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    <span class="br0">}</span>
 
    <span class="kw3">fclose</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileHandle</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="br0">}</span>
 
<span class="re0">$lines</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> getLinesFromFile<span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileName</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

The code looks very similar to the array-based implementation. The main difference is that instead of pushing values into an array the values are yielded.

Generators work by passing control back and forth between the generator and the calling code:

When you first call the generator function ($lines = getLinesFromFile($fileName)) the passed argument is bound, but nothing of the code is actually executed. Instead the function directly returns a Generator object. That Generator object implements the Iterator interface and is what is eventually traversed by the foreach loop:

Whenever the Iterator::next() method is called PHP resumes the execution of the generator function until it hits a yield expression. The value of that yield expression is what Iterator::current() then returns.

Generator methods, together with the IteratorAggregate interface, can be used to easily implement traversable classes too:

<span class="kw2">class</span> Test implements IteratorAggregate <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="kw2">protected</span> <span class="re0">$data</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

Generators can also be used the other way around, i.e. instead of producing values they can also consume them. When used in this way they are often referred to as enhanced generators, reverse generators or coroutines.

Coroutines are a rather advanced concept, so it very hard to come up with not too contrived an short examples. For an introduction see an example on how to parse streaming XML using coroutines. If you want to know more, I highly recommend checking out a presentation on this subject.

Specification

Recognition of generator functions

Any function which contains a yield statement is automatically a generator function.

The initial implementation required that generator functions are marked with an asterix modifier (function*). This method has the advantage that generators are more explicit and also allows for yield-less coroutines.

The automatic detection was chosen over the asterix modifier for the following reasons:

  • There is an existing generator implementation in HipHop PHP, which uses automatic-detection. Using the asterix modifier would break compatibility.
  • All existing generator implementations in other language (that I know of) also use automatic detection. This includes Python, JavaScript 1.7 and C#. The only exception to this is the generator support as defined by ECMAScript Harmony, but I know no browser that actually implements it in the defined way.
  • The syntax for by-reference yielding looks very ugly: function *&gen()
  • yield-less coroutines are a very narrow use case and are also possible with automatic-detection using a code like if (false) yield;.

Basic behavior

When a generator function is called the execution is suspended immediately after parameter binding and a Generator object is returned.

The Generator object implements the following interface:

final <span class="kw2">class</span> Generator implements Iterator <span class="br0">{</span>
    void  <span class="kw3">rewind</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    bool  valid<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    mixed <span class="kw3">current</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    mixed <span class="kw3">key</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    void  <span class="kw3">next</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
 
    mixed send<span class="br0">(</span>mixed <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    mixed <span class="kw1">throw</span><span class="br0">(</span>Exception <span class="re0">$exception</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="br0">}</span>

If the generator is not yet at a yield statement (i.e. was just created and not yet used as an iterator), then any call to rewind, valid, current, key, next or send will resume the generator until the next yield statement is hit.

Consider this example:

<span class="kw2">function</span> gen<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="kw1">echo</span> <span class="st_h">'start'</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    yield <span class="st_h">'middle'</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    <span class="kw1">echo</span> <span class="st_h">'end'</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="br0">}</span>
 
<span class="co1">// Initial call does not output anything</span>
<span class="re0">$gen</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> gen<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
 
<span class="co1">// Call to current() resumes the generator, thus "start" is echo'd.</span>
<span class="co1">// Then the yield expression is hit and the string "middle" is returned</span>
<span class="co1">// as the result of current() and then echo'd.</span>
<span class="kw1">echo</span> <span class="re0">$gen</span><span class="sy0">-></span><span class="kw3">current</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
 
<span class="co1">// Execution of the generator is resumed again, thus echoing "end"</span>
<span class="re0">$gen</span><span class="sy0">-></span><span class="kw3">next</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

A nice side-effect of this behavior is that coroutines do not have to be primed with a next() call before they can be used. (This is required in Python and also the reason why coroutines in Python usually use some kind of decorator that automatically primes the coroutine.)

Apart from the above the Generator methods behave as follows:

  • rewind: Throws an exception if the generator is currently after the first yield. (More in the “Rewinding a generator” section.)
  • valid: Returns false if the generator has been closed, true otherwise. (More in the “Closing a generator” section.)
  • current: Returns whatever was passed to yield or null if nothing was passed or the generator is already closed.
  • key: Returns the yielded key or, if none was specified, an auto-incrementing key or null if the generator is already closed. (More in the “Yielding keys” section.)
  • next: Resumes the generator (unless the generator is already closed).
  • send: Sets the return value of the yield expression and resumes the generator (unless the generator is already closed). (More in the “Sending values” section.)
  • throw: Throws an exception at the current suspension point in the generator. (More in the “Throwing into the generator” section.)

Yield syntax

The newly introduced yield keyword (T_YIELD) is used both for sending and receiving values inside the generator. There are three basic forms of the yield expression:

  • yield $key => $value: Yields the value $value with key $key.
  • yield $value: Yields the value $value with an auto-incrementing integer key.
  • yield: Yields the value null with an auto-incrementing integer key.

The return value of the yield expression is whatever was sent to the generator using send(). If nothing was sent (e.g. during foreach iteration) null is returned.

To avoid ambiguities the first two yield expression types have to be surrounded by parenthesis when used in expression-context. Some examples when parentheses are necessary and when they aren't:

<span class="co1">// these three are statements, so they don't need parenthesis</span>
yield <span class="re0">$key</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
yield <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
yield<span class="sy0">;</span>
 
<span class="co1">// these are expressions, so they require parenthesis</span>
<span class="re0">$data</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$key</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="re0">$data</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
 
<span class="co1">// to avoid strange (yield) syntax the parenthesis are not required here</span>
<span class="re0">$data</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> yield<span class="sy0">;</span>

If yield is used inside a language construct that already has native parentheses, then they don't have to be duplicated:

call<span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="co1">// instead of</span>
call<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
 
<span class="kw1">if</span> <span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span> <span class="sy0">...</span> <span class="br0">}</span>
<span class="co1">// instead of</span>
<span class="kw1">if</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span> <span class="sy0">...</span> <span class="br0">}</span>

The only exception is the array() structure. Not requiring parenthesis would be ambiguous here:

<span class="kw3">array</span><span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$key</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span>
<span class="co1">// can be either</span>
<span class="kw3">array</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$key</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span>
<span class="co1">// or</span>
<span class="kw3">array</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">(</span>yield <span class="re0">$key</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="br0">)</span>

Python also has parentheses requirements for expression-use of yield. The only difference is that Python also requires parentheses for a value-less yield (because the language does not use semicolons).

See also the "Alternative yield syntax considerations" section.

Yielding keys

The languages that currently implement generators don't have support for yielding keys (only values). This though is just a side-effect as these languages don't support keys in iterators in general.

In PHP on the other hand keys are explicitly part of the iteration process and it thus does not make sense to not add key-yielding support. The syntax could be analogous to that of foreach loops and array declarations:

yield <span class="re0">$key</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

Furthermore generators need to generate keys even if no key was explicitly yielded. In this case it seems reasonable to behave the same as arrays do: Start with the key 0 and always increment by one. If in between an integer key which is larger than the current auto-key is explicitly yielded, then that will be used as the starting point for new auto-keys. All other yielded keys do not affect the auto-key mechanism.

<span class="kw2">function</span> gen<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    yield <span class="st_h">'a'</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

    yield <span class="st_h">'key'</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="st_h">'c'</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

    yield <span class="nu0">10</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="st_h">'e'</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

This is the same behavior that arrays have (i.e. if gen() instead simply returned an array with the yielded values the keys would be same). The only difference occurs when the generator yield non-integer, but numeric keys. For arrays they are cast, for generators the are not.

Yield by reference

Generators can also yield by values by reference. To do so the & modifier is added before the function name, just like it is done for return by reference.

This for example allows you to create classes with by-ref iteration behavior (which is something that is completely impossible with normal iterators):

class DataContainer implements IteratorAggregate {
    protected $data;
 
    public function __construct(array $data) {
        $this->data = $data;
    }
 
    public function &getIterator() {
        foreach ($this->data as $key => &$value) {
            yield <span class="re0">$key</span> <span class="sy0">=></span> <span class="re0">$value</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
        }
    }
}
로그인 후 복사

The class can then be iterated using by-ref foreach:

<span class="re0">$dataContainer</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> <span class="kw2">new</span> DataContainer<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">[</span><span class="nu0">1</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="nu0">2</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="nu0">3</span><span class="br0">]</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="kw1">foreach</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$dataContainer</span> <span class="kw1">as</span> <span class="sy0">&</span><span class="re0">$value</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="re0">$value</span> <span class="sy0">*=</span> <span class="sy0">-</span><span class="nu0">1</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
<span class="br0">}</span>
 
<span class="co1">// $this->data is now [-1, -2, -3]</span>
로그인 후 복사

Only generators specifying the & modifier can be iterated by ref. If you try to iterate a non-ref generator by-ref an E_ERROR is thrown.

Sending values

Values can be sent into a generator using the send() method. send($value) will set $value as the return value of the current yield expression and resume the generator. When the generator hits another yield expression the yielded value will be the return value of send(). This is just a convenience feature to save an additional call to current().

Values are always sent by-value. The reference modifier & only affects yielded values, not the ones sent back to the coroutine.

A simple example of sending values: Two (interchangeable) logging implementations:

<span class="kw2">function</span> echoLogger<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="kw1">while</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="kw4">true</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>

Throwing into the generator

Exceptions can be thrown into the generator using the Generator::throw() method. This will throw an exception in the generator's execution context and then resume the generator. It is roughly equivalent to replacing the current yield expression with a throw statement and resuming then. If the generator is already closed the exception will be thrown in the callers context instead (which is equivalent to replacing the throw() call with a throw statement). The throw() method will return the next yielded value (if the exception is caught and no other exception is thrown).

An example of the functionality:

<span class="kw2">function</span> gen<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="kw1">echo</span> <span class="st0">"Foo<span class="es1">\n</span>"</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

Rewinding a generator

Rewinding to some degree goes against the concept of generators, as they are mainly intended as one-time data sources that are not supposed to be iterated another time. On the other hand, most generators probably *are* rewindable and it might make sense to allow it. One could argue though that rewinding a generator is really bad practice (especially if the generator is doing some expensive calculation). Allowing it to rewind would look like it is a cheap operation, just like with arrays. Also rewinding (as in jumping back to the execution context state at the initial call to the generator) can lead to unexpected behavior, e.g. in the following case:

<span class="kw2">function</span> getSomeStuff<span class="br0">(</span>PDOStatement <span class="re0">$stmt</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
    <span class="kw1">foreach</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$stmt</span> <span class="kw1">as</span> <span class="re0">$row</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
        yield doSomethingWith<span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$row</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
    <span class="br0">}</span>
<span class="br0">}</span>
로그인 후 복사

Here rewinding would simply result in an empty iterator as the result set is already depleted.

For the above reasons generators will not support rewinding. The rewind method will throw an exception, unless the generator is currently before or at the first yield. This results in the following behavior:

<span class="re0">$gen</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> createSomeGenerator<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span>
 
<span class="co1">// the rewind() call foreach is doing here is okay, because</span>
<span class="co1">// the generator is before the first yield</span>
<span class="kw1">foreach</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$gen</span> <span class="kw1">as</span> <span class="re0">$val</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span> <span class="sy0">...</span> <span class="br0">}</span>
 
<span class="co1">// the rewind() call of a second foreach loop on the other hand</span>
<span class="co1">// throws an exception</span>
<span class="kw1">foreach</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$gen</span> <span class="kw1">as</span> <span class="re0">$val</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span> <span class="sy0">...</span> <span class="br0">}</span>

So basically calling rewind is only allowed if it wouldn't do anything (because the generator is already at its initial state). After that an exception is thrown, so accidentally reused generators are easy to find.

Cloning a generator

Generators cannot be cloned.

Support for cloning was included in the initial version, but removed in PHP 5.5 Beta 3 due to implementational difficulties, unclear semantics and no particularly convincing use cases.

Closing a generator

When a generator is closed it frees the suspended execution context (as well as all other held variables). After it has been closed valid will return false and both current and key will return null.

A generator can be closed in two ways:

  • Reaching a return statement (or the end of the function) in a generator or throwing an exception from it (without catching it inside the generator).
  • Removing all references to the generator object. In this case the generator will be closed as part of the garbage collection process.

If the generator contains (relevant) finally blocks those will be run. If the generator is force-closed (i.e. by removing all references) then it is not allowed to use yield in the finally clause (a fatal error will be thrown). In all other cases yield is allowed in finally blocks.

The following resources are destructed while closing a generator:

  • The current execution context (execute_data)
  • Stack arguments for the generator call, and the additional execution context which is used to manage them.
  • The currently active symbol table (or the compiled variables if no symbol table is in use).
  • The current $this object.
  • If the generator is closed during a method call, the object which the method is invoked on (EX(object)).
  • If the generator is closed during a call, the arguments pushed to the stack.
  • Any foreach loop variables which are still alive (taken from brk_cont_array).
  • The current generator key and value

Currently it can happen that temporary variables are not cleaned up properly in edge-case situations. Exceptions are also subject to this problem: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62210. If that bug could be fixed for exceptions, then it would also be fixed for generators.

Error conditions

This is a list of generators-related error conditions:

  • Using yield outside a function: E_COMPILE_ERROR
  • Using return with a value inside a generator: E_COMPILE_ERROR
  • Manual construction of Generator class: E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR (analogous to Closure behavior)
  • Yielding a key that isn't an integer or a key: E_ERROR (this is just a placeholder until Etienne's arbitrary-keys patch lands)
  • Trying to iterate a non-ref generator by-ref: Exception
  • Trying to traverse an already closed generator: Exception
  • Trying to rewind a generator after the first yield: Exception
  • Yielding a temp/const value by-ref: E_NOTICE (analogous to return behavior)
  • Yielding a string offset by-ref: E_ERROR (analogous to return behavior)
  • Yielding a by-val function return value by-ref: E_NOTICE (analogous to return behavior)

This list might not be exhaustive.

Performance

You can find a small micro benchmark at https://gist.github.com/2975796. It compares several ways of iterating ranges:

  • Using generators (xrange)
  • Using iterators (RangeIterator)
  • Using arrays implemented in userland (urange)
  • Using arrays implemented internally (range)

For large ranges generators are consistently faster; about four times faster than an iterator implementation and even 40% faster than the native range implementation.

For small ranges (around one hundred elements) the variance of the results is rather high, but from multiple runs it seems that in this case generators are slightly slower than the native implementation, but still faster than the iterator variant.

The tests were run on a Ubuntu VM, so I'm not exactly sure how representative they are.

Some points from the discussion

Why not just use callback functions?

A question that has come up a few times during discussion: Why not use callback functions, instead of generators? For example the above getLinesFromFile function could be rewritten using a callback:

<span class="kw2">function</span> processLinesFromFile<span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$fileName</span><span class="sy0">,</span> callable <span class="re0">$callback</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>

        <span class="kw1">return</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

This approach has two main disadvantages:

Firstly, callbacks integrate badly into the existing PHP coding paradigms. Having quadruply-nested closures is something very normal in languages like JavaScript, but rather rare in PHP. Many things in PHP are based on iteration and generators can nicely integrate with this.

A concrete example, which was actually my initial motivation to write the generators patch:

This is a function which I use to provide test vectors to PHPUnit. I point it to a directory containing test files and then split up those test files into individual tests + expected output. I can then use the result of the function to feed some test function via @dataProvider.

The problem with the above implementation obviously is that I have to read all tests into memory at once (instead of one-by-one).

How can I solve this problem? By turning it into an iterator obviously! But if you look closer, this isn't actually that easy, because I'm adding new tests in a nested loop. So I would have to implement some kind of complex push-back mechanism to solve the problem. And - getting back on topic - I can't use callbacks here either, because I need a traversable for use with @dataProvider. Generators on the other hand solve this problem very elegantly. Actually, all you have to do to turn it into a lazy generator is replace $tests[] = with yield.

The second, more general problem with callbacks is that it's very hard to manage state across calls. The classic example is a lexer + parser system. If you implement the lexer using a callback (i.e. lex(string $sourceCode, callable $tokenConsumer)) you would have to figure out some way to keep state between subsequent calls. You'd have to build some kind of state machine, which can quickly get really ugly, even for simple problems (just look at the hundreds of states that a typical LALR parser has). Again, generators solve this problem elegantly, because they maintain state implicitly, in the execution state.

Alternative yield syntax considerations

Andrew proposed to use a function-like syntax for yield instead of the keyword notation. The three yield variants would then look as follows:

  • yield()
  • yield($value)
  • yield($key => $value)

The main advantage of this syntax is that it would avoid the strange parentheses requirements for the yield $value syntax.

One of the main issues with the pseudo-function syntax is that it makes the semantics of yield less clear. Currently the yield syntax looks very similar to the return syntax. Both are very similar in a function, so it is desirable to keep them similar in syntax too.

Generally PHP uses the keyword $expr syntax instead of the keyword($expr) syntax in all places where the statement-use is more common than the expression-use. E.g. include $file; is usually used as a statement and only very rarely as an expression. isset($var) on the other hand is normally used as an expression (a statement use wouldn't make any sense, actually).

As yield will be used as a statement in the vast majority of cases the yield $expr syntax thus seems more appropriate. Furthermore the most common expression-use of yield is value-less, in which case the parentheses requirements don't apply (i.e. you can write just $data = yield;).

So the function-like yield($value) syntax would optimize a very rare use case (namely $recv = yield($send);), at the same time making the common use cases less clear.
